'Borat' Vs. 'Hamilton' Vs. 'Greyhound' Vs. 'Wonder Woman 1984': What Was The Biggest Streaming Movie of 2020?

Everyone with a Disney+ account has something to look forward to this weekend, especially if you have a house full of kids: Onward is now on Disney+. The latest Pixar film features the voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as elf brothers in mystical suburbia who embark on a magical quest to bring their father back to life. The film earned rave reviews when it opened just a month ago, but its theatrical run was cut short by, well, uh, everything. That’s why Onward is available to stream so soon after its debut, and we are grateful!

As of today, you can stream Onward on Disney+! But what about the other Pixar movies? And is Onward really never going to stream on Netflix? And can you rent Onward on VOD? Here’s your answers!

Is Onward on Disney+?

Yes! After hitting VOD two weeks ago, Onward is now available to stream on Disney+. This is an unprecedented move for a Disney film, Disney+, and streaming services in general. Onward opened in theaters on March 6, which was right as people started to shelter in place in order to halt the spread of the coronavirus. The film suffered at the box office as more and more theaters started to close down across the country.

So in order to bring Onward to the masses, the film moved to a VOD release and is now streaming on Disney+ approximately seven months ahead of schedule.

Will Onward be on Netflix?

Nope! Now that Disney has its own streaming service, all of the movie studio’s output will stream exclusively on Disney+. That goes for Onward! Of course there is still one Pixar movie hanging out on Netflix, waiting for its old contract to expire: Incredibles 2. That film will leave Netflix and jump to Disney+ on July 30, 2020.

Can you rent or purchase Onward on VOD?

You can! If you don’t have Disney+, you can currently purchase Onward for $19.99 or rent it for a fraction of the price on iTunes, Amazon, FandangoNow, Vudu, and Google Play.
