You can now watch Onward online on more places than ever, now that Pixar's first big 2020 movie has hit Disney Plus. Originally dropping on March 6, Onward looks like a ton of fun, and it's a Marvel movies reunion of sorts, with Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) voicing the starring roles.
Those outside of the house of the mouse, who are still interested in seeing the movie, can still watch it, thanks to VOD purchase options. Interestingly enough, Onward isn't on all versions of Disney Plus.

Running time: 1:42
Rating: PG
Starring: Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Octavia Spencer
Rotten Tomatoes: 87%
While Onward was positively received by critics, it didn't exactly fill the giant shoes and standards set by the most beloved Pixar movies. The film, which is about a pair of friends on a road trip to save one of their dads, mixes a teenage coming-of-age story with the world of fantasy — you know, elves and dragons and magic.
One of the biggest movies to see an early digital release after theaters shuttered in response to limits on public gatherings imposed by the COVID-19 outbreak, Onward follows such titles as The Invisible Man and Emma. Trolls: World Tour is coming straight to digital later this month, unlike some other movies — Wonder Woman: 1984 and James Bond 25: No Time to Die — which got pushed back instead.
Here's how and where to watch Onward online:
How to watch Onward online in the US
Those of us in America have the widest range of options, starting with the most affordable (Disney Plus) and ending with pricier video on demand options.
How to watch Onward online in Canada
In weird news, Canada's Disney Plus doesn't have Onward. Doesn't make sense, does it? Disney owns Pixar, Disney owns Disney Plus, Disney and Pixar made Onward, but for some reason, it's not there?
Anyhow, Canadians aren't out of luck. The Microsoft Store and Apple iTunes both offer Onward for CA$24.99.
How to watch Onward online in the UK
Unfortunately, Disney Plus doesn't have Onward in the United Kingdom yet. Weird, right? The service launched in the U.K. and other parts of Europe last month, and it's a Disney-owned movie — and nobody else in the U.K. is even selling Onward as a video on demand digital rental. We're as confused as you are.
