Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, 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 (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water's surface.

Audience Says

It isn't as creative as Pixar's best movies, but Luca lives up to the studio's standards for beautiful animation while telling a sweet fish-out-of-water story the whole family will enjoy.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's full of energy and the diligence of those researchers has paid off in its settings which are seductive -- and even more important -- believable.

In the end, LUCA is lovely, but slight, and has the potential for so much more. Visually it is gorgeous beyond belief, and... evokes the spiritual transcendence of Studio Ghibli. It doesn’t strive for much more than that, and sometimes that’s fine.

Rated: 3/5

Although this is a Pixar film it is not a Pixar film.

Film Focus Online

It was a small, sweet and enjoyable effort from Pixar, which has not only taught us that it's okay to be different from the rest but the importance of it.

I loved the story, the characters, the look, the music and the cool references to Italian cinema in the 50s in "Luca". You don't have to be Italian to love this movie but it doesn't hurt!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Two sea monsters run away and attempt to acclimate to human life in a small Italian town, in a bid to buy a motor scooter. Pixar and Disney have mastered water animation at this point and they are just flexing that point home by having water as a main feature in every movie. There is plenty of Italian culture on display here, but I could have used more. The story is well told and the characters likable, but I don’t think this film will be remembered in an impactful way. A good film that is worth a watch.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I like that there isn’t a big twist villain, it is just a guy with a big ego. The story is great definitely worth the watch.
