People saying Pixar lost their touch because this movie isn’t answering some existential crisis about living need to stop. Not every movie needs to change your life some are honestly just a good time. And Luca is a very good time

[kaelynjensen]

Another theory is that Bruno was the name of Alberto's father. He is always shutting him up when he tries to control him. He does not let Bruno define who he is

[moonprincesst.s.h.ever]

I think that Luca and Soul should have been sent to the movie theaters, instead of Cruella. Luca is a funny, heartwarming story. It saddens me to see Disney push Pixar into the background, especially when they are responsible for the creation of characters that people have been loving for decades.

I love how the girl kept saying all the cheeses in Italian like it was a curse word😂😂

when luca betrayed alberto my jaw DROPPED he stooped so low with that one

People say that the humans changed their minds really fast, but I mean, they perceived sea monsters through drawings and silhouettes in water. So them seeing sea monsters as literal children would, y’know, make them not want to kill them.

Luca makes me wish Italian people were real.

As a neurodivergent person (ADHD and autistic), I loved this movie. The wholesome friendships, encouraging others to push themselves outside of their comfort zones, trying new things - I saw so much of my own personal growth in this movie and I’m so grateful for the friends like Alberto I’ve had in my life.

The cat with a mustache was my favorite part of the movie.

[just_a_mollusk]

The director has said that Luca takes place between 1950s and 1960s, but the telescope and the moon landing drawing during the credits have made it clear it most likely takes place in the summer of 1969.

Massimo is the dad all of us need and want in our lives.

i liked the movie a lot. it wasn’t action packed or revelation-inducing. it was just gentle, slice of life, coming of age, fun. it felt nostalgic. it felt like home. i feel like we all needed a break from everything going on in the past couple years and this felt just like that. it was enjoyable, the art was visually pleasing, the writing was fun and carefree, the characters were endearing and it was entertaining for its entire duration. i’m glad pixar decided to go in this direction. luca definitely became one of my favorite animated movies.

[morgansmith]

Loved Alberto, really wanted to know more of his story. Like why’d his dad left him, and how he ended up on the island.

[platypusbunneh]

This is just a wonderful slice-of-life, fun, simple movie. And sometimes that's ok :)

[poperman]

I thought the movie would have more underwater scenes. But it was a fun movie

[BugsyFoga]

Luca was honestly just a sweet and simple animated film that doesn't try to be grand or meaningful in anyway, and sometimes that's alright.

[rhagahdhdhdn]

honestly, even though it wasn’t meant to be queer i still saw a lot of myself in their experience of having to hide who they are and all that. and looking at it thru that lens honestly made the movie a lot more enjoyable for me, and made the emotional parts heart wrenching. idk. i loved the style tho

[lizbethgarcia]

I related a lot to Luca, as someone who is always doubting themselves and constantly being afraid I related to all the parts where Luca hesitated to take that jump with Alberto—I will definitely use Alberto’s advice by saying “silencio Bruno!”

[ElementOsvan]

I personally loved this movie and its characters

[dilweedd]

Even though I do agree with the people that say this movie isn't groundbreaking, I really love how universal the message of this film is. As a person of color myself, I saw it as a race allegory at first (since most supernatural creature acceptance films are about race). But when I analyzed it a bit more, I started seeing it as an incredibly relatable queer kid story. In the end, it's a simple movie about accepting differences, and anyone who has ever felt different (which is probably everybody) can relate to it--that's what makes it great.
