Luca
No need for a poster honestly, since I just changed my avatar into a gif of the movie
It's a really high 8/10 for me, I just watched it and I really liked it. The animation is beautiful, the transformation is always so amusing to watch, the colors are wonderful! Aesthetically it's really good!
The story was pretty interesting and made it fun to watch, as I kept watching I started thinking: "Hmm, they are really close...I wonder since the movie is new, if it means that there's a chance that it can feature gay mcs" Like I thought that in this time and age it wouldn't be weird, of course that wasn't the case and I wouldn't care either way honestly. But later on I googled about it and apparently many LGTB people thought the two boys were gay and that it was all a huge metaphor somehow...and when the director clarified they weren't...let's just say they were kind of pissed lmao, what a stupid reason to get angry at.
That whole subject aside, I liked the characters a lot! The dad was hilarious, really nice touch that he was handicap since birth (he is missing his right arm). The villain might be the weakest thing...but then again, no need to make the villain likeable I suppose. I loved the whole Italian theme as an Italian descendent myself, I'm sure my grandad would love this movie...well expect the part where I've no idea if he would like an animated film.
The pasta, the italian phrases...the ****ing names omg, I loved the italian names, Luca, Antonio, Giulia (first time I see this kind of spelling variation) Bruno lmao...then them saying "Santa Mozzarella" "holy Ricotta" omfg.
In my opinion this just proves that Disney can still make cool movies, specially with the resources they have to make this beautiful animation! My only regret is not watching it on 4k.
Edit: Oh and i forgot to mention I recently watched Wish Dragon...no idea if it's disney or not...doubt it. I thought it was ok but nothing too fancy, the designs were cool but the animation didn't feel too over the top to me (they have a genie, the amount of possibilities is endless with that) A really cool chinese oriented movie honestly. At the start of this movie I thought that if Wish Dragon is an Aladdin movie, then Luca is a Little Mermaid movie
