    Have a good cry

    This movie is so beautiful to watch, the colors and textures are outstanding. Everything about this film is heartwarming and poignant. Of course I cried when I watched it, I have a soul. Music? 100%. Message? 100%. Visuals? 100%. Kids and adults can watch this and appreciate something about it.

    Beautiful animation and a story of live and friendship. This is a wonderful film with a somewhat predictable plot but at a short runtime, it's a pleasure to spend time in this universe. Appeals to all ages and has a unique story telling perspective.

    I have really enjoyed it (and I come from there)!

    Coming from a place which is very close to Cinque Terre (where the imaginary Porto Rosso is meant to be part of) I watched the movie with a lot of expectations: well I must say that I have really enjoyed it: the story is nice, the main characters are enjoyable and both the location and the scenery have been well described (assuming we are talking about the '60s).

    The soundtrack in the Italian version of the movie was very nice as well.

    Well done Pixar!

    Refreshing Animated film

    Pixar never fails to impress 👌🏻. Another Animated film with an interesting story that will make you stay interested, throughout the film.

    Slight but most enjoyable.

    "Luca" isn't one of the deeper Pixar releases but it did have one thing that made it stand out for me...I liked it. The characters were enjoyable and the story, though simple, was delightful.

    The plot is actually much like Disney's "The Little Mermaid". It's about some undersea creatures much like Selkies from Norse mythology...though the story is set in Italy. Luca is one of these creatures and although he doesn't know it, like a Selkie, he can turn human when he leaves the water. At first, he's scared when he discovers this, but when he meets Alberto, another such creature who has chosen to live on land, the pair become friends and soon go to the town of Portorosso. There, they make friends with Giulia as well as meet the town bully and all around jerk, Ercole. What's next? See the film.

    Slight is definitely the word for this film. But its sweetness and characters made it a hit for me...and I nearly gave it a 9. Well worth seeing and a story with a nice message.

    • Trivia
      Portorosso can be seen as an advertisement on a travel agency window in Pixar's previous film Soul (2020).
    • Goofs
      Daniela and Lorenzo are trying to find Luca to avoid he could be exposed, and they do this by splashing everyone they suspect is him with water. They probably didn't think this through because if they actually succeeded, Luca would end up exposed in front of everyone.
