Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar's original feature film "Luca" is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water's surface.

Audience Says

It isn't as creative as Pixar's best movies, but Luca lives up to the studio's standards for beautiful animation while telling a sweet fish-out-of-water story the whole family will enjoy.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's full of energy and the diligence of those researchers has paid off in its settings which are seductive -- and even more important -- believable.

Puesta en Escena (AR)

In Portorosso its inhabitants are against what they call sea monsters. Conversely, the creatures that live under the sea call humans monsters above. So, that world is divided in two microcosms that show that everything depends on the point of view.

Rated: 8.5/10

Director Enrico Casarosa and his team do a magnificent job of bringing small-town Italy to life, interspersed with a coming-of-age fantasy saga.

Spotlight on Film

The animation is painfully generic and even forgettable since its narrative is almost too insignificant.

I loved the story, the characters, the look, the music and the cool references to Italian cinema in the 50s in "Luca". You don't have to be Italian to love this movie but it doesn't hurt!

I absolutely loved Luca! This movie has such a sweet, genuine vibe that makes it feel both nostalgic and refreshing. It’s set on the Italian Riviera, which looks incredible in Pixar’s animation. You can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the water. But what really makes Luca stand out is the story. It’s not just about sea monsters and human worlds; it’s about friendship, embracing who you are, and facing fears with the help of people who care about you. It’s such a meaningful, feel-good movie without ever trying too hard. There’s a real charm to it that reminds me of childhood summers and simple joys. Honestly, I think it’s super underrated in Pixar’s lineup—maybe it didn’t get the attention of some other Pixar films, but it deserves every bit of praise. Luca is the kind of movie that quietly warms your heart, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants something cute, thoughtful, and uplifting.
