Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, the original animated feature 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: he is a sea monster from another world just below the water's surface.
The two things that you can always count on is Marvel and Pixar not letting you down. Even their less than excellent movies are still great. Luca is yet another triumph for Pixar when you really don't expect it at all. A movie about sea people that turn to humans and want to win a race to get a vespa with very heavy Italian culture involved. Read that again. That would sound like an absolute trainwreck to me. Yet since it's Pixar, it was a very enjoyable ride with incredibly original and diverse characters that keeps you hooked right from the start.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and am eternally grateful for the excellence of Pixar.
