Pixar officially announced the development of the animated film Luca, a story inspired by the Italian Riviera and childhood friendships.
Enrico Casarosa, an Italian-American filmmaker, was announced as the director of Luca, bringing his personal influences into the film's design and story.
The animated film Luca had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, marking its debut to critics and audiences.
Luca was released globally on the streaming platform Disney+, bringing the movie to a wide audience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
