Onward is a 2020 animated film by Disney and Pixar that cost about $200 million to make, but only grossed $141 million worldwide, making it a box office bomb.

Some of the reasons for its poor performance include a weak marketing campaign, a lack of appeal to international audiences, a controversial LGBTQ+ character that led to boycotts and censorship in some countries, and the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down cinemas around the world shortly after its release.

Despite its financial failure, Onward received mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences, who praised its animation, voice acting, humor, and emotional story.
