Ciao Alberto

For seven minute short movie based on Luca, McKenna Harris got simple story and detailed animation to reminds us that whatever mistakes you've done, you're still loved by your family. Alberto & Massimo showed endearing chemistry as father and son wannabe.

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.

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.

A vibrant, enchanting short film is the ideal successor to the much-loved Pixar feature film Luca. This short film delves further into the lives of the beloved characters, Alberto and Massimo, beautifully continuing their narrative journey. The film shines in the seamless weaving of heartfelt storytelling and impressive animation, leaving viewers with awe and delight.

The creators have done a splendid job of amplifying the characters' dynamics, intensifying the emotion between the father and son relationship, and delivering significant character development within a limited timeframe. The setting and the imagery are reminiscent of Luca, with the shimmering seas and colourful Italian Riviera as a scenic backdrop to the moving storyline.

This film is a true gem for fans of Luca, offering a slice of the characters' lives that wasn't covered in the original film. It's an inspiring and poignant tale, wonderfully packaged into a short film, making it the perfect pick for a family movie night. Whether you're a fan of the original film or simply seeking a delightful, touching animated short film to enjoy, This film will leave you with a warm glow and a renewed sense of inspiration.

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.
