6/4/2023 0 Comments Luca disney movie![]() Like Luca, Alberto’s a teenager, albeit a rebellious one who’s mysteriously alone. ![]() ![]() Both parents want what’s best for Luca, and that means staying away from the surface and the dangerous dwellers up there they call “land monsters.”īut one day Luca follows another sea monster named Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer) to the shoreline. The young lad (voiced by Jacob Tremblay) lives under the sea with his overly protective mother Daniela (Maya Rudolph) and his absent-minded father Lorenzo (Jim Gaffigan). The focal point of Luca is a sea monster by the same name. Which is a shame since the movie remains a bemusing, if slight, 90-minute diversion when divorced from its heavy expectations. While Luca does do some things differently-particularly by celebrating young friendships and the sheer gorgeousness of the Italian coast-it cannot help but appear lesser when compared to the legacies it stands on, both at Walt Disney Animation and Pixar. While I’m sure all audiences will be thrilled to have this new cinematic distraction to watch at home on Disney+ (and without a surcharge!), the younger you are, the better the chances you won’t notice glaring similarities to The Little Mermaid from 32 years ago-and the easier it’ll be to accept Luca for what it is.īecause, yes, we once again have a Disney movie about a sea creature or two who want to be part of your world, and once again the main character dodges fishermen, inquisitive snoops, and the judgment of his parents. The target audience for Pixar’s new animated trifle, Luca, will likely be at an advantage over their parents. ![]()
