If one day you had magic, what would you use it for? Will it be used to make up for the biggest regret in life? This is bound to be a difficult choice, because after making up for the biggest regret, the second regret becomes the biggest regret. And there's a good chance that this choice will become your new regret, because it directly caused your new biggest regret. In fact, we know that a perfect life does not exist, and there will always be regrets of one kind or another. Just like the brothers in the movie, they work hard, work hard, have luck, and have the help of nobles, but it is only half of the success. , the rest is one-half regret. This is life, there will always be good and there will always be regrets. In fact, regret is not terrible, because regret is a by-product of hard work. What you pursue is perfection, what you give is all, you will still have one-half regret. This regret is beautiful, because it carries your hope. , is equally beautiful. It's just that not all imperfections are regrets. It is a regret to pursue with all one's heart and not to be perfect, and to give up without paying is called regret. It is often said that if there were no regrets, how boring it would be! Indeed, because regret is inevitable, the regret brought by the pursuit of perfection is made more beautiful. If you seek regret, you usually get regret. In the journey of pursuing a perfect life, if you reserve one half of regrets, then what you pursue is only one half of the beauty, one quarter of the effort, and only one eighth of what you get. The perfection may also have one-eighth regrets, and the rest are all regrets. There is always something that cannot be asked in the world. The beauty of regret lies in the process of hard work. If you give your whole heart, every bit of gain will be gratifying. Why does life need to be perfect, one half is enough.

    3.5. Some settings have the magic power of turning corruption into magic. Overall, the originality was lower than expected. The other half of the magical world is reality. The other half of Pixar is Disney. That lower body is more like a metaphor of today's Pixar.

    One-twentieth of Pixar's magic is not ugly, mainly boring, only a few scenes are somewhat imaginative, and the rest are not attractive enough, more boring than coco.

Onward quotes

  • [after finding out they went back to New Mushroomton near the end of their journey to get the Phoenix Gem]

    Ian Lightfoot: Oh, no.

    Barley Lightfoot: What?

    Ian Lightfoot: The gem is in the mountain. The mountain we could have been to hours ago, if we'd just... stayed on the expressway.

    Barley Lightfoot: No, the expressway is too obvious! You can never take the obvious...

    Ian Lightfoot: If I hadn't listened to you! OKAY? I can't believe this... You act like you know what you're doing, but you don't have a clue! And that's because you are a screwup... And now you've screwed up my chance to have the ONE thing I never had!

    [Barley was shocked; Ian turns and starts walking off with their dad Wilden]

    Barley Lightfoot: [saddened] Where are you going?

    Ian Lightfoot: [gives Barley the staff] To spend what little time we have left with Dad.

    Barley Lightfoot: Ian, wait! We can still find the Phoenix Gem! We just have to keep looking! Ian! IAN!

  • Ian Lightfoot: I never had a dad, but I always had you.
