Marc M 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! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/21 Full Review MP Great movie, me and my 6 year old had a great time! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/21 Full Review Nick R It's much simpler and less ambitious than Pixar's previous masterpieces. However, that's really nice for Pixar. 'Luca' is very delightful, funny, has great animation, lovable characters, and a good simple message all wrapped up nicely in this Pixar style coming-of-age story. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Jay W "Luca" is a Pixar direct to Disney+ movie. It follows Luca, a young sea monster who appears human when he comes onto land. I see Luca as a tale of two films. One film is great, and the other pretty bland. Let's start with the great movie. Together our trio of heroes, Luca, Alberto and Giulia are practicing for the "Porto Rosso Cup". It is a bizarre triathlon that consists of swimming, biking and eating pasta. They want to win so that they can get a Vespa. When the movie focuses on this, it is a great movie. I love the simple slice of life story this presents. When these 3 characters are just hanging out, they are very naturally entertaining. They have nice chemistry, and it is just a nice hang out and chill type of feel to it. The movie clearly takes inspiration from some "Studio Ghibli" movies. These types of movies don't typically have a villain, or much of a conflict. They are mostly just coming of age stories, and when "Luca" acts like those films, it excels. When the film is dealing with the sea monster stuff, it is a bore. The undersea world isn't interesting. The parents' attempt to recover him isn't compelling. The obvious subtext about: "being yourself" is heavy handed. It's not that the film has a bad message, it has just been done to death in kids' movies today. Luca himself is part boy and part sea creature. And Luca the film is part chill, slice of life movie and part after school special about accepting others' differences. Sadly, those latter parts are a bit too shallow. But there is plenty of depth in the other parts. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Audience Member This is probably one of my most favorite Disney movie of all time. I have rewatched this movie like more than 10 times since the story, the plot, the music, the scenes, the characters, they are just perfect and spectacular. Truly impressive! I highly recommend watching this movie, you will love it!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Erika C 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.
