The characters are worth engaging with, only the bullies don't quite come off, while the climax has plenty of excitement. Particularly in the friendship between the three leads. There are plenty of sight gags that come thick and fast and they are genuinely funny, but there is a warm heart and poignancy too. Appreciated its handling of the messaging too, the messages are great and relatable ones that have a lot of resonance and relevance that could easily have been preachy but not once does the messages of loyalty, friendship and respect feel forced or condescending. While the story is slight and not perfectly paced, it makes great nostalgic use of the Italian setting and doesn't resort too much to cultural stereotyping. The humour is genuinely amusing, while there is plenty of heart without being too sentimental. The script is smart and knows its target audience without trying too hard to appeal to them or anybody outside it. As well as having an affectionately Italianate sound. The music is a nice mix of stirringly upbeat and poignant-sounding in the quieter moments. Especially the vibrant colours and beautiful Italian landscapes, while the characters expressions and movements are nuanced and natural. On the other hand, the animation is stunning.
Also thought that the portrayal of the bullies was overdone and on the stereotypical side.
LUCA GIACOMO SERIES
He went on to play recurring roles in the television series Reign (2013) and Murdoch Mysteries (20132014). He studied theater at Humber College and made his acting debut in the Italian television series Medicina Generale in 2010. It is very slight and takes its time to get going. Giacomo Keaton Gianniotti (born 19 June 1989) is an Italian-Canadian film and television actor. There is not an awful lot that is wrong with 'Luca'. At the same time, there is more than enough to 'Luca' to stop it from being lesser Pixar, a list that includes most of the sequels post-2010 and 'The Good Dinosaur'. It is not one of Pixar's best films by all means, other films of theirs are more creative conceptually and deeper and more complex emotionally and is not as good as their previous two films 'Soul' and 'Onward'. 'Luca' turned out to be very, very charming and very high quality. Did like the concept for 'Luca', even if it was not a creative one. Pixar did start to vary post-2010, especially in the sequels, but the past seven years or so has seen some of their best work in 'Inside Out', 'Coco' and 'Soul'. Pre-2010 their films were consistently never less than very good and their best efforts outstanding.
Have loved Pixar for years, well ever since seeing the first two 'Toy Story' films and 'A Bug's Life' when they first came out.
