About this deal

Sacha Baron Cohen as Ugo Paguro, an anglerfish-like sea monster, Luca's uncle, and Lorenzo's brother who lives in the depths of the ocean and has a see-through torso. [25] Casarosa stated that the movie is a celebration of friendship, and "a love letter to the summers of our youth - those formative years when you're finding yourself", [6] inspired by his childhood in Genoa, with Luca based on himself and Alberto on his best friend of the same name, Alberto Surace. [7] Casarosa stated: "My best friend Alberto was a bit of a troublemaker, [while] I was very timid and had a bit of a sheltered life — we couldn't have been more different ... Alberto pushed me out of my comfort zone, and pushed me off many cliffs, metaphorically and not. I probably would not be here if I didn't learn to chase my dreams from him. It's these types of deep friendships that I wanted to talk about in Luca, and that is what's at the heart of this film." [6] According to Enrico Casarosa, he describes the film as an "homage to Fellini and other classic Italian filmmakers, with a dash of Miyazaki in the mix too." [22] It is the first Pixar film to involve Andrews, while Jones had previously co-written Soul (2020) and is also credited as a Senior Story and Creative Artist at the studio. [41]

One day, Luca meets Alberto Scorfano, a fellow sea monster child who lives alone in an abandoned tower on land. Alberto teaches Luca that sea monsters can turn into humans, as long as they stay dry. Luca begins sneaking out to meet Alberto, and they become friends, wishing to own a Vespa and travel around the world. Weiss, Josh (June 21, 2021).

" Pixar's New Movie Is Inspiring Peach Jokes And Comparisons To 'Call Me By Your Name'". Uproxx. Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera (Liguria), Disney and Pixar's original feature film Luca is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta, and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water's surface. [5] Plot The sea monsters featured in the film were pulled from Italian myths and regional folklore, [18] including the Tellaro octopus and local "little legends about sea dragons, creatures that either come to help or get into trouble". [37] [3] Casarosa said: "I always found the old sea monsters on maps really fascinating. The mystery of the sea was so represented in the weird creatures that we used to draw. And that area has a lot of wonderful myths". [18] Production designer Daniela Strijleva stated: "We were really inspired by old sea maps. Some design details that carried through to the final film are things like the shapes of the fins of the sea monsters, how decorative their scales are, and the curves of their tails." [38] Casarosa also stated that the sea monster is a "metaphor for feeling different". [3]

Casarosa has stated that some people have interpreted the story as being a metaphor for refugees and immigrants as well, however just like those who have made comparisons to the LGBTQ+ community, he admitted that this was unintentional, but that he was welcome to all interpretations. [13] He later admitted that the film was intended to be a metaphor for race and while romance between the leads was only briefly discussed, it was never meant to be a focal point to the story, "some people seem to get mad that I'm not saying yes or no, but I feel like, well, this is a movie about being open to any difference." He added that he intended for the film's message to be about "being different" and felt that he had achieved doing so by getting such a broad response, "some people seem to get mad that I'm not saying yes or no, but I feel like, well, this is a movie about being open to any difference."

About Luca

To create the setting of the movie, Portorosso, the studio sent several of the film's artists to the Italian Riviera for a research trip, including on the Cinque Terre, during which they took photos of the area's landscape and peoples. During the research trip, Deanna Marsigliese, the film's art director, noted that they were watched by curious onlookers and chose to incorporate that into the character designs. Isola del mare is inspired by the Italian island Tino. [39] The name of Portorosso is the union of that of the Italian villages Portovenere and Monterosso. It could also be a reference to Studio Ghibli's Porco Rosso, also set in Italy. [21] Awards". Georgia Film Critics Association. Archived from the original on January 9, 2022 . Retrieved January 7, 2022. Conversely, Phil De Semlyen, writing for Time Out, branded the film a "letdown", writing "Charming but slight, Luca definitely isn't Pixar firing on all cylinders. The studio's trademark daring, pin sharp sight gags, and big ideas are missing from a fishy coming-of-age yarn that's a little damp around the edges."
