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.

Marc M I loved the story, the characters, the look, the music and the cool references to Italian cinema in the 50s in "Luca". You don't have to be Italian to love this movie but it doesn't hurt!

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Jowell T It's a good movie even though this lost the Oscars to encanto but it's still a good film Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Keizi C This is another successful installment in Pixar's not surprisingly impressive resume. They have the recipe for bringing home light hearted and thoughtful movies and "Luca" is no exception. While it explores culture in a light way, it still provides enough closure through multiple themes that it becomes evidently satisfying nonetheless. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Arrigo M luca has everything one wants in an animated movie for all ages: interesting story, colourful picture, adventures, relatable characters. funny and heartwarming Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

It's full of energy and the diligence of those researchers has paid off in its settings which are seductive -- and even more important -- believable.

It was a small, sweet and enjoyable effort from Pixar, which has not only taught us that it's okay to be different from the rest but the importance of it.

Different than anything PIXAR has done before story wise. Small in scale as A coming of age story that brings the messages of discovery & acceptance!
