Luca disney movie6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() It's hemmed in a bit by director Enrico Casarosa's Pixar-ish insistence on a big, climactic showdown between our heroes and the bully who makes them miserable, but the real - and far more interesting - conflict is between Luca and his friend Alberto, a fellow sea dweller who is braver than Luca but also more emotionally fragile. This, then, is a movie about the politics of difference - and one of the more contemplative efforts from Pixar. But get dry sea creatures wet and they revert to monster form - a bit of borrowed mermaid lore that sets up the main drama of the film. ![]() Luca is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren. Disney Along the crisp white beaches and cerulean waters of the Italian Riviera, an unlikely friendship grows between two young sea monsters. The landlubbers, of course, are terrified of the monsters in the sea (and vice versa), and the sea-people lose their tails and scales when they emerge into the open air, making them look completely human to anyone on land. Luca shares these adventures with his friend, Alberto, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world below the water’s surface. Still from Disney’s latest Pixar film Luca. "Luca," which begins streaming Friday on Disney+, is an extraordinarily pleasant children's film about the little mer-boy of the title, voiced by Jacob Tremblay, who wants to learn about the world on dry land and parts beyond and the denizens of the above-water Italian town of Portorosso, which he visits - against his parents' wishes - to expand his horizons.
