Hi everyone!

Check out the new “Luca” featurette and clip that were released yesterday! The featurette for the Disney and Pixar animated film showcases real life-inspirations for the movie. Director Enrico Casarosa is from Italy and led Pixar’s “Luca” team on two research trips to the Italian Riviera. Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” will debut on Disney+ for all subscribers on June 18th, 2021.

From Disney: Check out a new clip from Disney and Pixar’s “Luca,” in which new friend Giulia invites Luca and Alberto for dinner at her imposing and intimidating dad’s place. Luca and Alberto—sea monsters who appear human on land—learn that humans’ view of sea monsters is alarming, to say the least. Featuring Jacob Tremblay, Jack Dylan Grazer, Emma Berman and Marco Barricelli as the voices of Luca, Alberto, Giulia and Massimo.

Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” 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: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.
