Parallels in our own lives, involving anything that divides people is prevalent but I think the acceptance of homesexuality and the fear of “coming out” to people who may treat you differently or even hate you because of it, appears to be where LUCA tries to hone in on more. While themes of courage, kindness, and acceptance are great, LUCA lacks in the presentation of those themes and even muddles them up a bit. Not to mention a white-washed cast with unimaginative character animation, which seems to be totally dated in an era where we’ve simply seen it all done better. The story runs through predictable and formulaic tropes without presenting it in any fresh, exciting, or even a humorous way. However, LUCA feels a little watered down so to speak. Pixar has some of my favorite films of all time and even a lesser Pixar film is better than most other films. It won’t be easy as they try avoiding a grown bully, Luca’s parents (voiced by Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan), and any form of water, which will reveal their secret identity to townspeople who want their kind dead. The two boys team up with a human girl named Emma to compete in a triathlon of swimming, eating, and biking. When dry, their sea monster bodies turn human, concealing their unaccepted true form. The two make a fast friendship, heading to town to achieve their ultimate goal of owning a Vespa to travel the world on their little motor bike. He meets another young sea monster named Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer) who has been living his days on land in an abandoned lighthouse. Set on the Italian Riviera, Luca (Jacob Tremblay) is a young Sea Monster who shepherds fish during the day and dreams of life above sea-level. Unfortunately, the 101 minute film would probably have been better served as a 10-minute short. LUCA is colorfully animated, capturing some of the summer feels in Italy. So I was excited to see his name come up on the most recent Pixar feature film, LUCA. It was a sweet and beautiful little short film by director Enrich Casarosa. Their job is to sweep up all the glowing shooting starts that land and light the moon so fully. It’s about three generations, a boy, a father, and grandfather, who while out on a little boat, pull out a magically long ladder and climb to the moon. It’s not everyone’s first rodeo though.LA LUNA is perhaps one of my favorite Pixar shorts. Voicing a Disney character, that’s the coolest thing ever, I think that’s on everyone’s bucket list, even if they’re not an actor. I mean she’s a sticker, she’s a pop-it, she’s a plush, she’s a shirt, she’s everything! And I think that’s just so cool that I got to be part of that, because that’s just the coolest thing ever. When I look at her I see that she’s Guilia, but I imagine when she’s talking it’s my voice. #CAST OF LUCA MOVIE#Newcomer Emma Berman, who plays Guilia in her first movie credit ever, said the following about seeing her character have merchandise whilst being surrounded by her own during the interview: And then, I went with my little sister and I took her to the Disney Store and in there there’s this one shelf with a bunch of Luca merch so she got a shirt, so it’s really awesome to see that kind of stuff.Ĭan you even imagine? Being in a Pixar movie is one thing, but while you’re still a kid? My mind would have launched itself out of my skull. I had one of Cars and a bunch of other Pixar stories so it was so cool when I got a Luca version of it. A Little Golden Book and I used to have a bunch of those.
