“Luca”: the new animated film from Pixar

In July last year, Pixar surprised on Twitter after announcing its next project called “Luca”. This new animated film will focus on the protagonist named Luca, who lives an unforgettable summer in the coastal city of the Italian Riviera.

“Luca” will tell the story of a boy who shares his adventures with his new and recently discovered best friend. However, the fun is threatened when they both turn into sea creatures.

The new animated film is scheduled to be released in the middle of this year and will be directed by Enrico Casarosa, who will make his first feature film debut. Casarosa has also made productions, such as “La luna”, an animated short film nominated for an Oscar in 2012.

In this new Pixar production, the director stated that the story is based on his own childhood experiences in Italy. In this way, it will be a film dedicated to Italy in which the central theme will be friendship. Also, the production will be in charge of Andrea Warren, who previously worked on “Cars 3”, “Monsters, SA” and “Bugs, a miniature adventure”.

“Luca” from Disney and Pixar does not have an exact release date yet, but according to the trailer it will arrive in the American summer of this 2021. It is not known if it will only reach cinemas or if it will also appear on Disney + streaming service.
