You can watch the trailer for\u00a0<em>Onward\u00a0<\/em>(directed by\u00a0<em>Monsters University<\/em>&#8216;s Dan Scanlon) below:<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Onward Official Teaser Trailer\" width=\"862\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x8DKg_fsacM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a great trailer &#8211; it shows off the movie&#8217;s weird but stunning world, and also proves its sense of humour and heart. Very little is ever given away in these early-on trailers, but we&#8217;ve been doing some detective work to try to glean every bit of information from what we&#8217;ve been given. Here are 10 things you may or may not have noticed from the trailer.<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0The &#8216;Under Bridge&#8217; Transportation Authority<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7191\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Troll-under-bridge-plus-turrets.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"804\" \/><br \/>\nAt first glance, it might just look like a troll is operating a toll bridge booth (because why not?). But if you look more closely, these drivers seem to be paying to go\u00a0<em>under\u00a0<\/em>a bridge. This is probably a reference to the &#8216;Three Billy Goats Gruff&#8217; fairytale, in which a troll lives under the bridge that the three goats want to cross. Notice how the sign underneath the troll worker says &#8216;cash or riddle&#8217;!<\/p>\n<h2>2. The skyscrapers have turrets<\/h2>\n<p>Take another look at the city in the background &#8211; the skyscrapers have turrets! To begin with, it looks like the city itself lacks a lot of the fantastical design, but it seems like fantasy is everywhere. Also &#8211; that design on the construction cone? Lovely.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Residents of New Mushroomton have\u00a0<em>satellite<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s so cool seeing a suburban setting except with mushroom houses. New Mushroomton seems to be the name of elf brothers Ian and Barley&#8217;s hometown, and look &#8211; they have satellite! A lot of the mushroom houses have been fitted with satellite dishes, but also phone lines and electrical wires.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7192\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/New-Mushroomton-plus-satellite-dish.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"804\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. Even New Mushroomton&#8217;s garden ornaments are mushroom-inspired<\/h2>\n<p>Look behind this pool-lounging mermaid &#8211; she has little garden lamps on her lawn, and they look just like toadstools! As an aside &#8211; I wonder how mermaids live in the suburbs? Is she trapped in this make-shift pool forever, or..?<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7193\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Mushroom-lights.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. The plane has a mythical creature logo<\/h2>\n<p>We can&#8217;t totally make out what the creature is, but if you peer closely at that plane, its branding is definitely based off of a mythical creature. Perhaps a sitting dragon? A unicorn? What do you think?<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7194\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Plane.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6. Even the simplest objects look fancy<\/h2>\n<p>Once you start looking at a screencap from this trailer, it&#8217;s hard not to get wonderfully lost in the details. Even things like lawnmowers and microwaves look like they&#8217;d belong in <em>The<\/em>\u00a0<em>Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/em>somehow. There&#8217;s a kind of floral, elvish design that runs through Ian&#8217;s whole home.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7195 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Lawnmower-e1559510677940.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"798\" height=\"324\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7196 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Microwave-e1559510633754.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"306\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>7. Barley&#8217;s a fan of some great-sounding bands<\/h2>\n<p>If you look closely at Barley&#8217;s clothes, it&#8217;s covered in badges and logos &#8211; the one that you can see below is more than likely spelling out &#8216;HYDRA&#8217;, as evidenced by the font&#8217;s many dragon-like heads. A hydra is a mythical beast with mutiple, or even multiplying, heads (think back to Disney&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Hercules).\u00a0<\/em>Pixar are so amazing at going the extra mile &#8211; I&#8217;m sure this movie&#8217;s going to be brimming with genius logos that many of us will probably never notice.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7197\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Hydra.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>8. Is Barley&#8217;s car called Gwynivere?<\/h2>\n<p>The registration plate on Barley&#8217;s car spells out &#8216;Gwniver&#8217;, suggesting that it has a name that would fit in great in any classic fantasy novel. The car make is &#8216;Valor&#8217;.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7198\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Car-reg-plate.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>9. The car radio brand is &#8216;Siren&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>When Barley starts up his car, you very briefly get to see this logo on his car&#8217;s radio system. It looks like the brand, and it&#8217;s called &#8216;Siren&#8217;. This would make sense since sirens, in myth, were said to be dangerous creatures, half-bird and half-woman, who would use <strong>song<\/strong> to lure lost fishermen off course. They would then climb onto their ships and kill them, presumably.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7199\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Siren-radio.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>10. Halt!<\/h2>\n<p>And last but not least &#8211; the stop signs in New Mushroomton are not stop signs at all, but rather &#8216;halt signs&#8217;. Very\u00a0<em>Dungeons and Dragons.\u00a0<\/em>This sign can be seen as Ian shoos away those feral unicorns.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7200\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Halt-sign.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSo &#8211; did any of you spot all these details? I think it&#8217;s great that even a simple trailer under 2 minutes long has so much to dissect. It just goes to show you how much work goes into a Pixar movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>Pixar surprised us with a new trailer for its first 2020 movie on Thursday.
