Abstract
In this paper, the causal relationships in Onward are compared and contrasted with the ones in Up. The characters in Up purposefully move to action for the given cause. The residents there accept the surreal beings as normal. Thus, the viewers understand such surreal beings in the scene as part of the fantasy world of Up. The protagonists in Onward also have purpose for the actions they take. For achieving their goal, they choose problem solving method from the magical world. However, there is no causal relationship between reality and their world. Thus, it fails to persuade its viewers.
