10 Best Times A Movie Character Returned From The Dead

10. Wilden Lightfoot - Onward

An often-overlooked entry into the Pixar canon, Onward premiered in 2020 and starred huge names like Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Anyone who didn't see this movie when it first came out - which was a lot of people, because Onward was released right before the pandemic shut theatres - missed out on a sweet story about two teenage boys attempting to reconnect with their dead dad.

After a spell only brings back half of their father Wilden (the bottom half, to be precise), Ian (Holland) and Barley (Pratt) Lightfoot go on a quest to complete the resurrection before it wears off in 24 hours.

The surrealism of a man's legs wandering around willy-nilly means that this film is also very funny. However, at its core, it's highly emotionally charged as the Lightfoot brothers never really knew their father when he was alive.

A touching story about grief and how to cope with it, Onward is well worth a look if you didn't catch it the first time around.

Also, it'll be good for you to see Chris Pratt in a decent voice role before he ruins Mario in 2023.
