Negative points of animation
Onward
It is recommended that you watch this animation with your children. From children to adults, they can watch this work, but the most important principle of children is that they grow up with dreaming and grow in the world of imagination, and the emphasis of the film on magic and its easy acceptance by the child poses irreparable dangers.

Choosing the right and instead of voice actors is one of the strengths of the film, and giving importance to traditions and self-confidence and finding love and peace in the family is a positive view that cannot be ignored.
