Disney and Pixar have launched the trailer of their next animation filmLuca. This time they’ve brought together Italy and sea monsters, for a coming-of-age story set in a beautiful seaside town.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
“Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, 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”.
Luca‘s italian directorEnrico Casarosa, author of the beautiful short filmLa Luna, while describing the trailer stated this:
“This is a deeply personal story, it is set on the Italian Riviera where I grew up and it is all about friendship. Childhood friendships often set the course of who we want to become and it is precisely those bonds that are at the center of our story in Luca”.
Lucais scheduled to premiere in june 18 in the United States. It is not clear, however, especially internationally, if the prolonged closures of cinemas will postpone the arrival in theaters or will they opt to move it to Disney Plus, as happened to the predecessorSoulor the new Disney movieRaya and the last dragon, coming soon on Disney Plus.
