The village of Portorosso is lovingly rendered, with the golden charm that has led generations of tourists to fall in love with Italy. Luca is the latest feature film by Pixar, and it upholds the Disney studio’s reputation for animation. And in a town where hunting sea monsters is a fabled occupation, that’s no small risk. But there’s a problem: neither of them knows how to ride a bike and they can’t swim without turning back into their scaly selves. When the pals realize that cash can be turned into a Vespa, they persuade Giulia to let them be part of her triathlon team. A trip to a nearby village introduces the boys to Giulia (Emma Berman), a girl determined to win the local triathlon and claim the cash prize. Luca and Arturo enjoy halcyon days ashore, trying to build their own Vespa, the Italian motorbike that enthralls them. When a rebellious fellow sea monster named Arturo (Jack Dylan Grazer) throws Luca onto the beach, the hesitant young ocean dweller assumes human form and guiltily falls in love with life as a land lubber. Luca (Jacob Tremblay) and his undersea family have a humdrum existence focused on herding fish, raising show crabs, harvesting seaweed, and avoiding “land monsters”.įollowing in the fins of Ariel, Disney’s insatiably curious mermaid, Luca is fascinated by the world above the water – but thanks to his mother’s (Maya Rudolph) fearful warnings, he’s also terrified by it. If you ever thought sea monsters enjoyed lives of mystery and excitement beneath the waves, think again.
