Luca

LUCA

Taking place on the Italian Reveriara, a human and a sea monster disguised as a human build a strong friendship.

I will start with the positives:

-I love the characters!! 

Giulia voiced by Emma Berman, reminded me a lot of the young Ellie in UP. Her actions; mannerisms; and life is definitely Ellie. Loved her.

Alberto voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer, is the fearless leader of the three. Who puts into Luca's head they need money for a Vespa so they can go places and see the world.

Luca is voiced by Jacob Tremblay is our star. Who is constantly frightened because the storyline here is clealy stolen from The Little Mermaid, where the Sea Monsters change when wet and when dry. He is afraid he will be caught. At the same time there is guilt for liking being a human more than being a sea monster.

-The colors in this PIXAR film are so bright they pop. Love it.

Negatives:

-There are many holes and the writing seems lazy for a PIXAR film. The characters I will remember. The stolen story idea not so much.

3 1/2 stars out of 5 for Luca. It is a sweet story of bravery and finding your path. Plus...friendship.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
