Does Onward have a post-credits scene?

While Pixar fans might be sad that there’s no post-credits scene, Onward audiences will want to get to the theater on time. That’s because Disney is serving up a short film before Pixar’s blue, pointy-eared elves set out on their quest.

Pixar is famous for its pre-screening mini-masterpieces, including Bao, Piper, Presto, and 2000’s gag-driven For the Birds. Onward will feature one of these, but for only the second time in history, a Pixar film will be proceeded by a short not made by the studio. The Simpsons‘ official Twitter account revealed that Onward‘s short would be the Maggie-led Playdate with Destiny. 

There weren’t many details shared about the mini-movie other than its title, including whether fans can expect to see Homer, Marge, Lisa, or Bart appear. But it’s clear that this was a flex on the part of the Mouse House, following its $71 billion acquisition of Fox in 2018. While nothing within The Simpsons universe seems like it would be a tonal fit with a Pixar story, the venerated animated series has previously “crossed over” with the Marvel Universe, so we suppose anything is possible. 

All bets are off when it comes to Playdate with Destiny, but you can expect to shed at least one tear while watching Onward when it hits theaters on Friday, March 6.
