It's a month of fresh perspectives on the big screen – take a chance on magic with an original Pixar film, discover masculinity under a different lens in Georgia, learn about the genre of weird westerns, or revisit the world of an Asian warrior.

Chris Pratt and Tom Holland star as two teenage elf brothers looking for magic, somewhere between Trolls and Monsters Inc for Pixar's first original film for years, Onward.
The story is inspired by the death of director Dan Scanlon's father when he was a child, taking stock of the importance of brotherhood and the timeless urgency of a good adventure.
