Ciao Alberto

This short is a spin-off from "Luca" and follows one of the main characters, Alberto, in his life following the end of the previous film.

It begins with Alberto writing to his friend, Luca, who by now has gone off to school. As he writes, you see that Alberto's life with Massimo is very problematic, as Alberto knows little about human customs and he keeps making a mess of things. To make matters worse, Massimo continues to be a very quiet and reserved man and Alberto assumes the guy is getting fed up with him....particularly when he accidentally burns Massimo's boat.

I didn't love this short until the end...which was very sweet. It gave some added depth to the characters and overall, it's a very nice Pixar short.

This short cemented the idea that Alberto should have been the main character of "Luca". He is much more interesting. And if I am being honest. I would have loved to see a whole film about him and Massimo. Like them finding each other and growing like a father and son.

I did find the start a little grating but I just don't like that cliche.

The ending was really touching tho. For a 5 minute short, it was a sweet story.

Don't get me wrong, i loved the short and the chemistry between Alberto and Massimo is cute, but the short film just didn't have anything interesting in it due to the trailer and peoples spoilers on instegram haha.

Overall, it was cute, funny and wholesum, if it wasn't for the people who overreacted with their spoilers, i would have enjoyed it more.

P. S : i know this is off topic, but people, please !! Stop drawing weird fandom of this movie.

It's beautiful and adorable, but much darker and sad than it should be. Why don't make more happy cartoons, why companies keep creating so many sad ones? That's why another adorable one, "Vivo!", never become too popular- because of horrible sad story in it!) Luca cartoon is so popular because it's a long-availted good one, which makes you happy after watching! All heroes in story stay alive and kind of "livibg happily ever after"! And here we go again, company decide try to ruin it by creating sad short "after" stories. Why, oh why?!

I really hope they make a bit more good, happy ones. Our works has enough cruelty and sad moments, we should sho kids how to live happy lives and create happiness to each other.

It was cute, but I'd say it's way too short to genuinely recommend to someone unfortunately. Still, if you've wanted some more Luca, well, here you go.
