Do you know Luca?
Yes
I accidentally clicked the notification
Idk why I’m here
Yeah

People saying Pixar lost their touch because this movie isn’t answering some existential crisis about living need to stop. Not every movie needs to change your life some are honestly just a good time. And Luca is a very good time

No, it was just bad.

Another theory is that Bruno was the name of Alberto's father. He is always shutting him up when he tries to control him. He does not let Bruno define who he is
Wow good theory 💯
I definitely thought they were gonna do more with Alberto’s father
I thought it is because he misheard the word 'brain' as Bruno
@@ikhy1990 I prefer to think it’s a mixture of both, him mispronouncing or misheard the Italian for brain and saying it as a way to symbolically say that he isn’t defined by his dad

I love how the girl kept saying all the cheeses in Italian like it was a curse word😂😂

@@wilbe1981 The equivalent of italian pastas, _c h e e s e_
@@wilbe1981 whoops, you’re right. Saw this movie last week so I forgot
they have to keep the g/pg rating, can't go *that* far
Lololo
I think that Luca and Soul should have been sent to the movie theaters, instead of Cruella. Luca is a funny, heartwarming story. It saddens me to see Disney push Pixar into the background, especially when they are responsible for the creation of characters that people have been loving for decades.
Maybe not Soul, since that was released during the height of the pandemic. Luca for sure though, would’ve been a great movie experience.
I'm still glad both movies were released on Disney+ right away because I wouldn't have paid to go see them in theaters anyways but yeah Disney shouldn't push Pixar to the background.
I watched Cruella online before it even came out in theaters here...
I love Cruella so dont talk sh*t on that hahaha but I do Agree soul and Luca would be good in movies
@@mistercat5300 Personally I think Cruella was ok but Luca should of got a theater release.
I mean honestly who even goes to the live action movies at this point I’d go for a movie like soul but given the Disney live action movie track record you’ll never see me watching one in theatres. On Disney + yeah if I have nothing better to do
Luca makes me wish Italian people were real.
BHAHA WHAT
LMFAO
bruh what?🤣🤣
👀 yeah if only they were
Pfffffff-
when luca betrayed alberto my jaw DROPPED he stooped so low with that one
That part actually shocked me the first time. I looked exactly like luca after alberto disappeared. I understand why luca did it, but like wow that was cold
@@VampireFlutist Exact same reaction with me in my first watch
What's even sadder is while Alberto was walking back to the water, it was like he didn't even care about getting pierced by a spear at that point. 🥺
@@bethanienaylor yeah, that got me. 🥺
I thought Alberto was going to push Luca in the water, not throw himself in the water and risk his life.
People say that the humans changed their minds really fast, but I mean, they perceived sea monsters through drawings and silhouettes in water. So them seeing sea monsters as literal children would, y’know, make them not want to kill them.
Right, and especially since the town saw them around with Giulia and grew somewhat fond of them, and most would remember them as those kids with Giulia and not just see them as monsters
Not to mention Massimo. I mean multiple times through the movie we see nods that show while he is still really well known and trusted throughout the town, so when he goes in to show his support for the boys, its much easier for the rest of the townspeople to get on their side. Not to mention he was previously the big guy in the lead against potential sea monsters in the area, so for such a radical turn around to even happen it's clear to the others than they must have been good.
And that's not even mentioning how the entire town got to know them a bit during their time there.
@@drdewott9154 It was adorable to see Massimo grow attached to Alberto.
The instant he's told Alberto left, he grabs his cap, puts on his jacket, and sets out to find him.
Uhmm you say that but people aren't really notorious for changing their minds once they realize there's children
@@erusdearest That simple moment speaks a thousand words for his character. I love moments like that.
This is just a wonderful slice-of-life, fun, simple movie. And sometimes that's ok :)

Massimo is the dad all of us need and want in our lives.
Remember what happened last time a siciliano named Massimo took control over something yeah, that happened in 1998 and let’s not let that happen again.
The cat with a mustache was my favorite part of the movie.
everybody gangsta until the cat starts speaking german
@@chef2397 so all this time Machiavelli was a Machiavellian antagonist
ME TOO OMG HE IS SO FUNNY
Loved Alberto, really wanted to know more of his story. Like why’d his dad left him, and how he ended up on the island.
This is just a theory:
Perhaps his father wanted to live as a human but couldn't because he had to take care of alberto so he built the home on land near the water as a middle ground. He probably didn't want to be a father and just had to take care of Alberto so he wouldn't die and that's why he left when he was old enough to survive on his own. He probably left somewhere else to live as a human after that. His wife is probably dead so he didn't have any ither reason to stay
Pretty sure Alberto says that his dad thought he was old enough to be living on his own and just left him to go do his own thing. That’s obviously a shit excuse to leave your 14 y/o child all alone but my interpretation of the situation has made me think that he was probably a super neglectful parent regardless if he actually had good intentions.
@@carolinemcguire6224 Alberto also said his dad left a long time ago & he stopped counting so he probably left him at 12yo
My original theory was that the girls dad was albertos dad, but then that wouldn’t make sense. Would’ve been a cool reveal tho
@@dannylera It would be kind of sad tho cause that would mean that albedos dad left him in order to live with his human daughter who he prefered over him and hunted sea monsters cause he disliked his own species that much
The director has said that Luca takes place between 1950s and 1960s, but the telescope and the moon landing drawing during the credits have made it clear it most likely takes place in the summer of 1969.
OH SHIT IT WAS THE SUMMER OF 69
@@tinyghoul6598 Springsteen wasn't singing about the year...
Right, the reason I was very confused about it is the music. Being Italian, I know when all the songs came out, and they're not very consistent. Most of them are from the 70s. Although I will forgive the use of Il Gatto e la Volpe because my best friend and I sang that together all the time. Italian Experience™
It’s in the 50’s because they are thinking of space as a more surreal type of thing before people went to space
@@magicman3163 if that was true, which I am willing to believe, what’s the deal with the moon landing in the credits?
i liked the movie a lot. it wasn’t action packed or revelation-inducing. it was just gentle, slice of life, coming of age, fun. it felt nostalgic. it felt like home. i feel like we all needed a break from everything going on in the past couple years and this felt just like that. it was enjoyable, the art was visually pleasing, the writing was fun and carefree, the characters were endearing and it was entertaining for its entire duration. i’m glad pixar decided to go in this direction. luca definitely became one of my favorite animated movies.
This is soo on point, it gave a warm and fuzzy feeling.
As a neurodivergent person (ADHD and autistic), I loved this movie. The wholesome friendships, encouraging others to push themselves outside of their comfort zones, trying new things - I saw so much of my own personal growth in this movie and I’m so grateful for the friends like Alberto I’ve had in my life.
As someone who thinks they are nd, this is such a feel good movie
Yesss when both Giulia and Luca would get loud and excited and then ask “too much?” And the other reassured them 😭😭 that shit was so good 😫❤️
@@arianna1280 Perfection. 👌🏻
Luca was honestly just a sweet and simple animated film that doesn't try to be grand or meaningful in anyway , and sometimes that's alright.
I personally loved this movie and its characters
honestly, even though it wasn’t meant to be queer i still saw a lot of myself in their experience of having to hide who they are and all that. and looking at it thru that lens honestly made the movie a lot more enjoyable for me, and made the emotional parts heart wrenching. idk. i loved the style tho
Exactly. It may not necessarily be queer. But it does have elements that people in that community could more than likely relate too.
Ever seen Shrek it’s a common trait in movies
The end credit song really tied it being a queer film for me.
I think it can apply to anyone who’s “different”. I’m autistic and I related so much to the characters.
Yeah! Also, Alberto and Luca seemed a little fruity but maybe that’s just me… I mean, Luca *did* wear Alberto’s clothes basically the whole movie-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that hercole was like middle aged at first.
Me too, & I was disturbed that the dude was harassing/hitting children with seemingly no intervention from the other adults around him 🤦🏿♀️ I would’ve had to fight that guy
He reminds me of the food critic from Ratatouille 😂
@Elan Dwa cool!
@Cheliodas Yeah I was exaggerating a lot and early or late 20s also makes sense
He somehow looks 14 and 41 at the same time-
I related a lot to Luca, as someone who is always doubting themselves and constantly being afraid I related to all the parts where Luca hesitated to take that jump with Alberto-I will definitely use Alberto’s advice by saying “silencio Bruno!”
Totally using it too!! It’s a great coping tool for kids as well as adults 🥰
A quote I appreciated by the director - when he was recently (June 18th) asked point blank about an LGBT+ Allegory. He seems not only fine with it, but delighted the film has an audience. From an interview with the director, Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren - with Ben Pearson of slashfilm:
*Casarosa* : Yeah, what I loved from day one about the sense that these kids could have this other side that they had to hide was that - my experience was I just felt like an outsider, and my best friend and I were feeling a little nerdy and losery and there were always cooler people that we were looking toward. That is my experience of it, but we knew from day one that it’s a wonderful prism for the audience to come in and bring their own experience of feeling “other.” So, in many ways, yeah, I love the idea that [the LGBT+ allegory] can be brought in and projected. I think the best movies leave some room for a read into it.
Where I keep on thinking that the read into all the otherness and difference feels right is that [Luca] is a story about, at a certain point, like, “Here I am. Let the chips fall where they may.” And so that is a coming out moment. We kept on saying, “This is not about people accepting them.” Some people will accept and some people won’t. But it’s more about, “I’m going to fly my flag and I don’t care, and here’s me.” That was such an important part of this coming of age. And the friendship is such a big part of it, too, because they are the people that are around you and see you for who you are, and they don’t care [about] whatever differences [you have]. So we love the line in the movie, “Am I too much?” No, you’re cool. I love that whatever possible way we feel gets brought to this movie. So yeah, it wasn’t exactly how I started because my story was a little different, but I love that there’s that read into it.
Oh how lovely
It’s weird for me that so many people are missing the biggest point I took away from this film and no one seems to be talking about it. As someone who have never been close to any family, forming such strong relationships with friends where family takes a back seat really hit home for me more than any other film. To me it was kind of hard for me to replace to films like coco where it’s all about family and traditions but this film blew me away to how friendships can mean so much more. The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
That's a really interesting viewpoint. Never thought of it 👌🏾
YES. As someone who doesn't feel accepted of comfortable in total with my family this movie meant a lot for the friendship part.
“and the answer should be julia” lmao
That got me, too. I cackled and had to pause the video.
@@lkf8799 literally it tickled me when he says that
caught me off guard... then i realized he's right ;)
I feel the town accepted Luca and the other sea monsters cause think about it, the first two sea monsters revealed, Luca and Alberto, just wanted to win a race, and also cared for there friends, then the next two, Lucas parents were just worried about him, and the final two, the two old ladies who hit Luca and Alberto, were probably living in portorosso for quite some time, seeing as how they have money for gelato and able to afford umbrellas too, in short people didn’t really want to kill sea monsters cause 2 were just children who were enjoying summer, 2 were parents worried about their kid, and 2 were people who most likely have been there for a few decades maybe, and no one noticed
Why is no one else commenting on the fact that Alberto's voice actor literally had to record his lines in the closet? I feel like there's a pride month joke in there somewhere
Yooo hahaha
No one asked
@@thebender7458 it was a joke dude
LMAOOO
LMAOOO IM CRYING
Luca betraying Alberto was my favourite part. Wasn't expecting it
That was a GUT PUNCH oof
Me and my sister literally screamed when it happened. It was such a low blow
That part made me ugly cry 😭
I thought Alberto was going to push Luca in the water but the fact that he didn't and Luca decided to betray him anyway was really upsetting
IKR MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED
I was surprised how many Italian words there are in this movie. Was it easy to understand them based on the context? (Question for non Italians)
Not for me
They had meaning?😅 [sarcasm] but honestly, I just ignored them, unable to understand
It was! But I’m Dutch and know a lot of basic words from European languages, and love italian food
I speak Spanish and most of the words they spoke in Italian were kinda similar. I know Italian and Spanish are very different but they do share some similarities in certain words. Great simple movie
i speak portuguese so it was kinda easy for me
A sidenote about Donald Duck. Here in Sweden he has always been more popular here then Mickey Mouse who I understand is much bigger in the USA? There has always been more comics about Donald and his family and friends then Mickey.
As I grown older I almost also understand the plight of Donald even more.
Mickey has always been the Goody two shoe the character that is almost always happy and can do no wrong,always doing the right thing.
Donald however no matter his flaws,anger issues etc he is the the loveable loser who is really a hero, trying his best keeping his job that he hates no matter how little Uncle Scrooge pays and trying his best to be like a single father in raising his nephews. While navigating the lovelife with Daisy.
In a way Donald is more human and relatable kind of character.
Italy too, so fond of Donald Duck they made him a Super hero (Paperinik/Duck Avenger) with 2 possibly timelines (OG Paperinik, he finds the villa with all the old gadgets, or Sci-Fi Paperinik, called PK, with more advanced technology ) and a special agent (QuQu7 and more indepth Seret Agent Double Duck). Oh also PP8, a version of Young Donald Duck but with characters like Tucker, Millicent, Louis Etc Etc
@@ShinyShilla Yes there is so many other writers beside Walt Disney who given so much life to the world of Donald duck Taliaferro,Carl Barks,Don Rosa. However as you say every country in the world seem to have their own version of Donald Duck.
Now that I think about it;
Mickey = SpongeBob
Donald = Squidward
Scrooge = Mr. Krabs
Goofy = Patrick
Same here in Finland, we relate more to Donald Duck, with his try hard but down on luck attitude.
Even though I do agree with the people that say this movie isn't groundbreaking, I really love how universal the message of this film is. As a person of color myself, I saw it as a race allegory at first (since most supernatural creature acceptance films are about race). But when I analyzed it a bit more, I started seeing it as an incredibly relatable queer kid story. In the end, it's a simple movie about accepting differences, and anyone who has ever felt different (which is probably everybody) can relate to it--that's what makes it great.
i’ve heard a lot of people say similar things, but personally i find it strange because it wasn’t something intentional. these stories have been in Italian culture for quite a while, as we are surrounded by seas. but if you are interested in reading one, my favorite is Colapesce.
I saw it as a metaphor of sexuality. The same director who made Call Me By Your Name made Luca. And it was heartwarming look at the film that way
@@ComradeHeydi the name of the director who made cmbyn was luca, so when you search of “luca director” that is who comes up. it is a mistake i made myself but they are actually two separate directors lol.
Enrico Casarosa is Luca’s director
@@ComradeHeydi i dont know about call me by your name, but i knew about the queer allegory's in this film , i cried soo many times watching it cuz i related to it from a queer persons standpoint. Like the way the mother yelled at luca, Alberto's jealousy, luca being anxious of being exposed. Julia's whole arc of acceptance . The father at the end standing up for the boys , and the grandmas speech , luca and Alberto separating.
@@ComradeHeydi i think its just a simple fun movie, you can interpret the movie what ever way you want, but i feel like people are making all movies about race, sexuality, climate, or any modern day “issues” why cant it just be a simple fun movie?
I love how at the end they realize that they are different people and have different needs and life paths, but can still love each other and support each other tenderly. That's a great message when a lot of other media screams to portray people's differences being reason to hate each other. I love it!
We need more friendship based stories like this
They were gay
@@user-se1gu6um3w I agree
@@user-se1gu6um3w cope. All three kids are friends.
@@user-se1gu6um3w Director Himself said they aren't gay actually. Just close Friends who are Male. But i Can see how The LGBTQ+ Community can use the Allegory of not being afraid of being who you are as a way to relate to the characters.
@@user-se1gu6um3w they were not but I still interpreted it that way because in the end the story was about how Luca and Alberto were different from everyone else and they were afraid to show it
I normally don’t get into many cartoons I watch with my kids but I sat down and watched this one twice! It’s a really good movie.
This movie could and should definitely be turned into a series. There’s still so much they could do with it and I loved it.
As a queer person the quote “some people, they’ll never accept him, but some will. and he seems to know how to find the good one” it just made me bawl like a baby, i know it’s not directly advocated as an LGBT film but i’ll like to think it is (:
:)
Not everything is about the gays😒
@@tidepods2686 they literally said they know it isn't explicitly a queer film. Stop hating people for relating to art. Just say you're homophobic and go
@@aalllllllexx not everything is about them btw
@@tidepods2686 just mind your business who cares if people relate to art. It doesn't affect you so stfu
i lowkey just accepted the possibility that the parents had been in the town before, considering how they talk about it and just already know how to walk.
I literally laughed when the bad guy said "Yes, go start a club for Losers." Hahaha yess!
Also its funny since Luca looks more like Jack Dylan Grazer than Alberto.
This movie was just lovely, so warm and wholesome.
This movie is great for all the summer vibes!

I love how you mentioned this can be interpreted in different ways. Let me tell you, my fiance and I, we are both man, were moved to tears. It was the young gay love summer we never got to have. The young love we only get to see heterosexual depictions of. It moved me so much. My fiance never cries in movies, and only coco and this one made him cry. It was a beautiful movie. And i know the creator has said it's not about gay young romance, but let me tell you, we see it that way and it will never be taken away from us. Happy PRIDE Month!
I mean, it's not tho. It has elements you guys can Relate too, and i'm very happy for that. But we all know Disney will never pull the trigger on Proper LGBTQ+ Storys. Creator of Gravity Falls exposed them for not letting him make the two cops a gay couple.

It's really interesting to see Pixar experimenting with new directors
My favourite was Alberto. He was funny, drove the story forward, and I really felt bad for him both when learning about his dad and when Luca betrays him. Which is why I love that he found a new father figure in Massimo!
HELL YEAH THIS MOVIE IS SWAG
small detail I loved is the fact that when in the water the characters voices are gurgly, and kind of frayed
Am I the only one that cried when Luca left in the train and Alberto stayed behind ?
Nope. i was sobbing uncontrollably 😭
The listen at the beginning is so iconic
Hello 👋
People say this is “not a mind blowing” movie, which I can agree with, but to an extent. As someone who has agoraphobic tendencies, Luca really spoke to me. Especially the ending when Luca and Alberto are saying goodbye. Alberto’s last words were eerily similar to last words I heard from my best friend before he passed. This movie was exactly what I needed, calming, soothing, cute, but it was also heart achingly beautiful🤍
I just found out this movie existed like 2 weeks ago. I heard more about that dumb cruela movie than this. Wtf don’t they release these in theaters anymore?
Its in theaters in qatar still didnt get a chance to see it tho. Wish i saw it instead of fast and furious 9 or the conjuring
Same thing happens all the time to good movies, while we get the big movies that are only made for money.
I love that the cat from Luca is named Machiavelli
One of my favorite parts about Luca is the message. Or more accurately, it’s lack of a main message. There are certainly some messages more prominent than others, but none of them take priority over another, and they all contribute to well-balanced theme with multiple morals that can be applied to basically everyone. That gives the story a more “realistic” feel than other stories with a single message in mind, or with separate morals competing with each other.
The most obvious message is the one Grandma Paguro says at the end, “Some people, they’ll never accept him. But some will.” This is reinforced by the town’s constant references to hunting sea monsters and Ercole’s obsession with hunting them and his unwillingness to change. Obviously it’s not the first movie about accepting people for who they are and eliminating bigotry in society, but it incorporates it so naturally and realistically that even explicitly stating the moral felt like a normal progression of the conversation and story as a whole, while some other movies feel like they have to shoehorn it in by stating it, or force an unreasonable amount of change in a short time. Other times they just beat you over the head with the message so hard that it’s hard to appreciate other aspects of the story. It’s a very important moral for sure, but movies that focus mainly on that tend to feel a little pushy. But Luca isn’t really pushing it, like it’s making some judgmental commentary on society and telling us we need to change. Instead, it feels more like it’s showing us *how* people can change *on their own*, and how doing that makes the world a better place.
Another message could be that friends need to lift each other up. This is also tied in with learning to change and become a better person. This is mainly Alberto’s story and message. In the beginning, he’s actually pretty narcissistic and routinely ignores Luca’s personal triumphs and pretends he’s better than him because he’s been on the surface longer. But later on, it becomes more clear from his history with his dad that he was just trying to seek validation and praise from someone, because it seemed obvious that his dad didn’t give him that. He even went as far as to reveal himself to Giulia to keep Luca from leaving like his dad did. Luca’s self-preservation in that moment very crushingly confirmed Alberto’s doubts about himself that he’s “bad” and that everyone “is better off without” him. But when Luca tries to get him back after he pushed Luca away, he learns that they needed to lift each other up rather than living for themselves. So throughout the whole movie after that point, he’s nothing but supportive of Luca. And that, I feel, was an extremely mature thing for him to realize and do, especially when he sold the Vespa for a train ticket just for Luca. There are ADULTS that struggle with this: changing and moving on, or recognizing themselves as a negative influence and actively working to change. I think this was one of the best morals or messages I’ve seen in a family movie, especially the way it was handled in Luca.
But there are even more things you could find. Messages about learning to do new things and to be outside your comfort zone, about growing up, family, perseverance and hard work, the joy that can come from learning, and even more I’m sure I haven’t mentioned.
And for the parents watching, in addition to all these lessons (because most are certainly applicable to adults as well), it teaches them to let their kids grow up. One day, every kid from every overprotective household will leave home and experience the world. And while it is scary and nerve-racking and maybe even a little dangerous, it needs to happen. But it also teaches at the same time that they can’t be absent. Kids still need guidance and protection and help as they grow up and leave the nest. They need to be taught to run and jump and push themselves, but also have that hand to pick them back up when they fall.
In conclusion, I absolutely adore this movie: how cute it is, how well it tells and balances its messages, and how relatable it can be to practically everyone. And I didn’t even mention the stylized, purposely cartoonish animation and how consistent its use was, how it added charm and humor without being distracting or taking away from the mood of any scene, or how the voice acting almost always sounded completely genuine and full of personality.
Luca is one of a very small number of family/kids’ movies that I’ll gladly rewatch over and over until I make myself sick of it. If you don’t feel the same, I implore you to watch it one more time with the things I mentioned in mind and look for just how well it does in so many areas.
Thank you for reading the mandatory “extremely long review going into an insane amount of depth and giving an unhealthy amount of insight into a kids’ movie from a slightly overbearing CZcams commenter in the comments section of a video that took less time to watch than the comment took to read.” Have an amazing day!
Evolution of Pixar:
“What if TOYS had feelings?”
“What if CARS had feelings?”
“What if FEELINGS had feelings?”
“What if ITALIANS had feelings?”
Why is no one talking about the fact that Alberto sounds like Sokka from Avatar?
It's so strange: watching kids movies when you're little, you don't get the meaning of sadness you just know it's s a d. but now that I'm older I cry when watching these because i'm weak and emotional lmao. i wanna go back
I was going through a bad depression this past summer and I feel like this movie came out at just the right time for me. Something about the setting and the characters is just so comforting and reminds me that the world doesn’t suck as much as I think it does.
Luca is a gem in the Pixar catalogue, 'cause its simplicity and applicability in its writing, that makes the audience connect more with this town, these characters, these events. Damn i want more of this, movies that are fun and relatable. And the best part is how no matter how you interpret this movie, it works.
The movie is really GREAT. The ending really got me
My kids really enjoyed Luca. It had a nice pace and the characters were fleshed out. It’s a great summer movie 👍🏾
It's really good. I'll try and get my nieces to watch it 😅
I didn’t realize Jack Dylan grazer voiced Alberto. My favorite characters from it were Eddie and Richie, and now I am in love with Luca and it’s my favorite movie and I love Luca and Alberto. I think that it’s just amazing how that Dylan grazer is Alberto and he played Eddie in it and I loved both of their relationships in the movies
I enjoyed what he said about art being subjective and thus interpretive in any case bcuz, as most people who watched this movie know, it was strongly referenced as a queer film among the LGBTQ+ community. It is interpreted that way among the community cuz a lot of them recognize the things that happen in this film (mainly the friendship between Luca and Alberto) as part of their journey of discovery and coming out. And even though the director has said that it is not supposed to be a queer film, I still appreciate how much it resonated with me and a lot of people in the community, which is probably one of the reasons I like it so much.
Absolutely
the line by the grandma "some people will never accept him, but some people will. he seems to have found the good ones" really hit home to me for this exact reason

This movie is a hidden gem from Pixar among all their other masterpieces. An adorable yet simple story that makes me want to be a child again and share my summer memories with friends, which is a thing I had never got a chance to do.
Even if I'm the only one who stand against millions of people that say this movie is bad, I will still stand for it. Even if others won't accept this movie, I will. This movie got me a good time, a really good time and that is enough.
This is just like onward. Simple movies with great value.
I watched it in English, Spanish and Italian with subtitles and I enjoyed it more in Italian/ Spanish than English.
LME It's always a pleasure watching you do your thing! Ty for the vid sir 🥸
Dude, this video is amazing. Thank you for making it.
It may be simple but I needed this movie. I needed to watch this.
“SILENCIO BRUNO!”
yes pog
loved the film
and yo content
I got to see Luca in the theatre since it got a theatrical release in Poland (and most probably in other European countries that don’t have Disney + yet). It was amazing!! Me and my friend were the only people watching the movie at the time so we could laugh at the top of our lungs, comment and cry in the dramatic moments and nobody would reprimand us, it was truly amazing
I was really drawn to the animation style for this and thought it was a stop motion/claymation at first and I really enjoyed the story especially how everyone can have different interpretations for this film. Loved your review on this!
"Baptise everyone's children" looool
watched this film last night and i loved it
I definitely noticed how dark and deep some movies can be with Disney nowadays, so it was so nice to watch something purely wholesome
SO CUTE! The friendship at the perfect age of first taste of independence LOVED IT!!
"Are you more like the timid but curious Luca, or the outgoing and fearless Alberto? And the answer is Giulia."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mickey Mouse comics are huge in Italy, and they have been for like more that 70 years or so, no wonder Giulia had a Donald Duck plush🤣
I believe a large number, if not the majority, of new Mickey comics nowadays are actually written and illustrated by Italians.
In the 1930s-40s ish, while in the US Disney was focusing more and more on animated films, in Italy its comics sold like candy, to the point that the day came when they had no more comics to translate and publish. So they started writing and drawing their own Mickey comics, all without a license, of course🤣
In the end Disney made them stop, but it also established official art schools to form writers and artists, and put the licences in order. And so to this day "Topolino" (both the name of the publication and Mickey's Italian name) is still one of the best selling periodic comics in Italy, selling more than Marvel or DC.
Paperinik, mentioned in the video, is a Donald Duck spoof (Paperino being his Italian name) on another iconic Italian comic called "Diabolik". It is also influenced by other gentlemen thieves and masked vigilantes of pulp fuction, and by more traditional superheroes.
Outside Paperinik is called Avenge Duck
Man I watched this with my long time friend, loved it so much. Didn’t think I was gonna. glad she wanted to watch it, honestly haven’t enjoyed an animated film so much since spirited away
Thank you for suggesting the soundtrack! It's fantastic! That first song gave me serious Beasts of the Southern Wild vibes, and when I went to look at the composer I found it's none other than Dan Romer! No wonder I like it so much!!
I really enjoyed this movie. It was sweet and it was fun to watch a pixar movie that doesn't have very high stakes.
Luca and Raya & the last dragon are my favorite recent animated movies.
Yes.
Luca and kikis delivery service make me feel the same fluffy sensation when watching them, both movies are so simple but charming ❤
I have watched this movie so many times since it came out, and it hits me so hard in the feels EVERY SINGLE TIME. The fact that it is a simple story is so gorgeous to me, how it actively invites different interpretations outside of the intention of the director and writer. And the fact that it has so many people making so may videos about their interpretations just proves how good this movie is. It may not have aimed for the stars, but it sure as heck crossed the finish line first.
1:42 “he comes out for the first time….. from the water” :,)
I actually liked this a lot . I watched it high and I love it.
Love your content Arturo keep up the great work, been a fan since AtZ❤️
Thanks Nick!
OMG 😳 THANK U THANK U THANK U FOR THIS REVIEW OF THIS REALLY COOL MOVIE !! Ur review nailed it. Literally everything I was thinking ! 💕
Sad you didn’t talk about the cat!!
The cat is my favorite character and carried the movie since he entered the movie!!
The barbie dolphin movie is still the best underwater movie. Ill fight anyone
omg all the little mermaid song references you made, i love it 😂
6:00 about donald duck. yeah, its pretty huge in europe, especially France, Italia, netherland and the nordic country. some of the biggest uncle scrooge and donald duck "cartoonist" are from these country ( marco rota, daan jipes etc ). (and yeah, fantomiald/superduck is an Italian invention, it will later inspired the awesome serie PowerDuck)
I remember Don rosa, saying that he is more known in Europe that in the US, his own country. in his documentary, he talk about his fandom in Europe and how each time he goes there, he's treated like a star, hundred of people are in queue in the street to get to meet him in some bookshop whereas in the United states, his own country, barely anyone recognise him in convention.
“shazam! he transforms” lmaoo
That old lesbian couple at the end that both came out together ❤ honestly I cried. It's my new favourite movie
What are you talking about
@@thebender7458 she’s talking about her interpretation of the film
Ouuuu I never saw it that way! That's a cool interpretation :D
@Elan Dwa they are literally mermaids. The movie is not grounded in historically accurate realism.
This is the cutest movie I’ve ever seen and I cried during it❤️
Luca is one of my favorite Pixar’s movies. It’s was an easy watch with my littles nephews (it’s hard to get their attention for long) I loved the visuals, the music; I laughed and cried. I can not ask for more of a movie
This is the only movie where I watched the credit till it ended
In conclusion: Alberto best boy
When I first watched the movie I was reminded of that Oscar winner short animated film "In a heartbeat". They both have such special place in my heart 🥺
I think the trailers didn't do this movie justice. Both me and my boyfriend are big animation fans but we weren't thrilled to watch "Luca" but we end up loving it. I think it won't do as good in sales mainly because kids needs something a bit more action packed. I think this is a really good movie, just about life, showing some of the bad and the pain but also some of the good. I feel like this is in pair with Soul. Movies surrounding the simplicity and beauty of life.
