Luca is a 2021 animated feature from the studio Pixar. It had a right to Disney plus release which was sort of disappointing because theaters were open and it probably would have made some good money. It would have also been good to see all of the beautiful colors on the big screen.
Luca is about a kid named Luca (Jacob Tremblay). He lives down in the ocean with his parents who don't let him go anywhere near the surface because of the humans. He then meets this one kid, Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer), who goes to the surface frequently. They both go into town and meet a girl named Gulia (Emma Berman). She is really training hard to win the race against the town bully. The kids both want to win the race as well so they could get enough money to buy a vespa, but Luca's parents are also trying to bring Luca back down into the ocean so nobody finds out his true identity.
Pixar has made some of the best movies in recent years from Coco to Incredibles 2 to Soul. They have all been some of the best movies I have seen in recent years. They have also been behind their fair share of just mediocre movies like Onward and The Good Dinosaur. I think Luca goes right with the mediocre movies. It was fun and had some fantastic imagery but the story just felt put together to visit this location and test out the animation that they used. The story was just bland and didn't really paint a good picture of who the main character is. So it was really hard to care for Luca when we didn't know anything about him and why he really wants to leave his house. The bully also is stereotypical and has his entourage of people he hits or gets mad at when the hero does something he doesn't like. The movie didn't really even have that good of point. It was really just get away from your parents and win a vespa. That being said the story still ended up being fun enough to enjoy the rest of the movie and it never really made me feel bored, it just made feel no connection or empathy for/with the characters.
The animation was obviously going to look like a picture. They did the realistic backgrounds like they did in Onward and Soul for this film. It really worked to the films advantage because of how beautiful it ended up looking. They also toned up the brightness of the colors. That is why I was saying it would be nice to see the film in the theaters. The character animation had a little different style than what Pixar has been doing and I thought it worked. All of the animation was superb.
Luca felt more like an experiment than a full fledged movie and that ended hurting it a little but the animation still made the movie look like a postcard. I would recommend Luca to anybody who wants to watch a fun movie with the family and to people who have Disney Plus.
