Luca Ratings & Reviews
- N24 februari 2026Another near perfect animated film. Humorous and quirky storyline. We quote many things from this movie "Silencio Bruno" and the Deep Sea Uncle lines often. Great message overall. A favourite of the kids and mine.

- jacob207720 december 2024A really beautiful and and heartwarming movie.
- Manuel Frangis21 oktober 2025This movie warmed my heart in a way that few animated films can. It is simple, colorful, and full of life, yet beneath its cheerful surface there is a deep message about friendship, acceptance, and discovering who you are. Luca feels like a soft summer breeze that takes you back to being a kid again. It captures the wonder of exploring a new world and the fear of showing your true self to others. Every moment in this film is drenched in sunlight, laughter, and a touch of sadness that makes it unforgettable. What I love most about Luca is how human it feels despite being about sea monsters. The story follows Luca and Alberto, two friends who dream of freedom beyond the sea. When they transform into human form and step into the little Italian town of Portorosso, their adventure truly begins. What follows is a story about belonging — the kind that speaks to anyone who has ever felt different or hidden a part of themselves. Pixar once again shows its gift for taking a simple idea and turning it into something universal. The animation is absolutely stunning. Every frame looks like a painting brought to life. The sparkling ocean, the cobblestone streets, and the golden sunlight all make Portorosso feel like a real place you could visit. It feels cozy and alive, as if it’s filled with stories waiting to be told. The attention to detail is incredible, from the way the characters’ hair moves to the glistening sea foam on the waves. It is a film that you could pause at any moment and still find beauty in the image. The voice acting is equally great. Jacob Tremblay brings innocence and curiosity to Luca, while Jack Dylan Grazer gives Alberto that wild, fearless energy that hides deep loneliness underneath. Their chemistry is the soul of the movie. You can truly feel how much they care for each other, how they challenge one another, and how their friendship changes them both. When they laugh together, it feels real. When they fight, it hurts because you know how much they mean to each other. The message about acceptance is what makes Luca special. It reminds us that being different is not something to hide but something to celebrate. The film gently teaches that real friends accept you for who you are, scales and all. It is a story about growing up, finding courage, and realizing that there is a bigger world waiting for you once you stop hiding. The soundtrack adds so much charm too. The Italian music, the sound of scooters, and the laughter of the townspeople make everything feel authentic. It captures the rhythm of summer days when time seems to slow down and life feels full of possibilities. While Luca is not as emotionally heavy as some other Pixar movies, its quiet moments are what make it beautiful. It celebrates friendship, identity, and love in the purest form. I left the movie smiling, feeling lighter, and remembering what it means to be brave enough to be yourself.
