With its summer vibes, complex coming-of-age themes, and the energetic, passionate voice performances of Tremblay and Grazer, this magical, sun-drenched tale of two sea creatures in boys’ clothing is believable, heartwarming, and joyous.
After serving as a story artist for Coco and Ratatouille, Enrico Casarosa finally takes to the director’s chair with Luca just as the pandemic puts a stop to cinema screenings, and more’s the pity, because Luca deserves the big screen treatment. Casarosa’s delightful, engaging and colourful story of friendship, pasta, love, vespers and diversity is yet another wonderful Disney movie that has quietly slipped onto Disney+, similar to the remarkable Soul.
Each beautifully animated scene bathes us in the sunshine and sea air of the Italian coast as we meet two young sea monsters, Luca (Jacob Tremblay) and Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer), whose newfound friendship and love lead them on a daring exploration of the human world above their ocean home.
Casarosa’s, Jesse Andrews‘, and Mike Jones‘ story is a delicate, loving, and bold exploration of identity, friendship, discrimination, and acceptance, and a love letter to Italian cinema. With its summer vibes, complex coming-of-age themes, and the energetic, passionate voice performances of Tremblay and Grazer, this magical, sun-drenched tale of two sea creatures in boys’ clothing is believable, heartwarming, and joyous.
