Luca (2021) - Pixar Movie Review | Disney Plus

This is my Spoiler Free Luca Movie Review. Explain your thoughts and excitement for the latest Pixar film to hit Disney Plus, and let me know if you are excited for Pixar’s Luca Movie below. Is Luca good?
Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.

Thanks for watching!
What is your FAVORITE Pixar movie?

[AlexLopez-xbyn]

I’m surprised that there wasn’t not a lot of Marketing for Luca. I’m still seeing it because Pixar is like The MCU of Animation.

You know, simplicity can be great as long as a movie captures a "mood" really well. Most early studio ghibli pictures are in fact very simple narratives that capture a tone or a feeling. And they're beautiful because of that.

I’m surprised how middle of the road people are on this movie. I absolutely loved it and it’s one of my favorite Pixar movies.

[dmitryrodionov]

I'm so happy that this movie is finally coming out! Cinque Terre are a fantastic place and I feel so proud of living in Liguria when stuff like this happens. I hope that it's going to be good and that people start coming more here, it could definitely lift our spirits, especially after the terrible disaster with the bridge.

People have an expectation that all pixar movies need to be above and beyond epic stories and when they do something charming and fun people complain. I'm looking forward to it because it looks like a charming summer movie!

I'd argue Luca really is different. It is nothing like any other Pixar film, both aesthetically in its character design and style, and it's execution of narrative and plot. As much as I love the Pixar films that delve into such deep themes such as death, memory, and emotions, I absolutely admired Luca for not feeling like it needed to have these things to make it a 'Pixar movie'. Pixar movies aren't a genre of film, Pixar is simply an animation studio that animates movies. I think it's amazing that they feel confident in their creative abilities to truly break their own mould, and that's what they did with Luca. (I gave it an 8.5/10, absolutely in my top 10 Pixar films)

I thought this film was amazing. It’s a film about growing up and discovering the world. Every time Luca daydreams, it’s about something new that he learned about the world. He imagines flying an old fashioned airplane through space, vespas as wild animals, and swimming in space with anchovies to touch the moon. When he imagines flying through the sky and seeing the world on a Vespa, he only sees islands with tiny houses because that’s all he’s seen of the world. He is creative and smart. He fixes the phonograph and realizes that they can make a Vespa with stuff from the island. If you think this movie isn’t grand, think about it from Luca’s perspective. Imagine if you’ve only lived with your family and herded fish and never seen anything. We know what Italy looks like. We know what pasta is. Since Pixar has existed, it has shown us new fantastic worlds. Porto Rosso is the new fantastic world that is unimaginable to Luca. They could have easily created emotional moments like a talk between Alberto and Julia’s father, but instead they show us. We see Julia’s father go searching for Alberto which is something his own father would have never done. We see moments like Alberto telling Luca that his parents would never come looking for him. He was alone for so long. I liked the fact that Julia’s stomach got upset from eating the pasta so she wasn’t that fast. I love the villain cause he is probably my age and still competing against children just for himself and money. Parts of it did feel like a Ghibli film, the dream sequences reminded me of The Wind Rises. Alberto had lots of abandonment issues. I want everyone to realize that before he met Luca, he was alone on the island for who knows how long. He had to grow up quick. He doesn’t have a desire to go to school. I like how they went down different paths. Alberto will be happy in a community and not be alone anymore which is what he wanted. Luca gets to learn about the world. The beginning of the movie didn’t really show us what Luca’s life was like because it was boring and small compared to the outside world. There were moments when I laughed because of how it was like The Little Mermaid. The townspeople were accepting so quickly because two old women, who probably were part of the community their whole lives, showed that they were sea monsters too. Not all of the townspeople did. Some of them were intimidated by Julia’s dad and gave up trying to kill them. Then they also saw two parents coming to hug their child and say how worried they were. It was just a family. The ending of the movie was perfect. Alberto never really wanted a Vespa. He wanted to go on adventures with Luca. Luca realizes he can’t leave Alberto alone so he gives up school. Alberto gives up the Vespa so that Luca can go to school and see the world. Alberto has a father figure, not a parent because he knows how to survive on his own and is pretty grown up. Luca assumes that Alberto is coming with him to school. Alberto was with him every step of the way as he was discovering the world. Now he has to do it on his own. The last shot of Luca looking out into the ocean and the island and all he has ever known soaked in the rain in his true form shows that he is ready to discover the world by himself as himself. The credits of the movie really showed us what everyone’s lives were like after the end of the movie. This was a Pixar masterpiece. I can’t accept any different answer.

I can't wait to see it this weekend. It's like 'The Shape of Water' and 'Call Me By Your Name' but for families.

[foodini]

Nice review. I was in the process of trying to look up/buy tickets for this right when you said it was Disney+ only. Thats unfortunate. Love seeing these big animated movies on the big screen at least once.

[FlashFlickReviews]

I guessed 78%. I was 2 percent off, LOL.

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

As someone who lives in Liguria, I cannot wait to see this. Though I'm also sad they're releasing it as a Disney+ original.

[Angelxjuice]

This movie really has a ghibli like feel to it, I like how simple the movie is because it helps the characters personalities shine

[whizz_]

Imo Luca wouldn’t have a sequel, purely because they don’t have anything to add onto, it ended on a good note

[virgiliomartinezerickson]

My favorite Pixar film is Wall-e. I adore that robot

[Benny_Frank]

Excited to see it on Disney+, but man do I wish they put it in theatres as well.

[thefilmwatcher]

My favorite is The Incredibles. This movie looks really good.

[huey]

My favorite Pixar movie is easily Ratatouille. So mature, and so timeless. Excited to watch this one!

[vinnyb]

I can't wait to watch it this weekend! It looks very good!
