“I loved fantasy growing up,” he said, adding: “I had a book on dwarf culture – their weapons and their societies. There were beautiful illustrations, and I was all about just drawing as a kid, so I loved to copy the drawings. I always loved the look of fantasy characters – elves, dwarves, massive ogres and wizards.”

Disney-Pixar’s “Onward” is all set to release the film in India on March 6. Set in a suburban fantasy world, “Onward” introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there.
