*** An early version had Ian as the brother obsessed with magic instead of Barley. Their father was a great wizard and Ian wanted to bring him back to learn about his magic abilities so he could become a great wizard too. The story team realized this made Ian's motivation purely selfish and replaced it with his desire to know a father that died before his birth.

** Early storyboards had a tritagonist character, a teenage saytr waitress at the Manticore's tavern named Genevieve who went by Jenny for short. She appears in three deleted storyboard scenes. One where she saves Ian from the fire at the tavern and then begs to join Ian and Barley on their quest, another she and the boys go have to through a Labyrinth which was turned into a shopping mall and the third one where Ian and Jenny come across a trio of sirens who are now real estate agents and hypnotize the two kids into staying in one of their houses. However she was dropped as story development continued because she drew focus away from the brothers' relationship and their bonding during the quest.
** In a deleted scene involving Jenny and the Tavern fire, she uses male pronouns to describe the Manticore suggesting that the character was male at some point in the development process.
** In a [[https://www.polygon.com/interviews/2020/3/11/21174435/pixar-onward-story-supervisor-behind-the-scenes-interview-kelsey-mann behind the scenes interview]], Story Supervisor Kelsey Mann revealed several signficant changes that occurred as the story went through Pixar's internal screening process.

* AcclaimedFlop: Zig-zagged. The film received great reviews from critics and audiences, with its Website/RottenTomatoes scores being 87% and 95% respectively. Unfortunately, it had the bad luck of being released during the rise of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic which forced an abbreviated theatrical release which pulled in $140 million worldwide, a ways off its $175-200 million budget. It was quickly shifted to digital download only two weeks after its theatrical release and then onto Creator/DisneyPlus two weeks after that. While its raw earnings were definitely impacted, it was acknowledged during award season and nominated for a Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar so its status as a ''flop'' is debatable.
* BannedInChina: ''Onward'' experienced some international censorship due to the fact of the minor character Specter being a lesbian. The movie was outright banned in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, though it was still legally screened in several other countries with a large Muslim/Arab population, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Meanwhile in Russia, the local dub altered Specter's dialogue to remove any mention of homosexuality, due to a Russian law which prohibits any "pro-gay propaganda" in children's media.
