Looks like a fairly laid back film from the concept art, should be fun to watch whenever cinemas re-open again.

Its a damn shame Disney cares more about making money from homophobic authoritarian regimes and won't let this be queer

I wonder how Disney is going to kill off Lucas parents or older sibling within 30 minutes of the film starting. Placing bets, the kids can't wait!

First thing that came to mind was Future boy Conan one of Miyazaki's earlier works.

Man what a coincidence. I was thinking just a few days ago if Pixar was gonna make a movie centered around Italy and Italian culture.

Of course this looks really neat, but I'm also having a hard time picturing this actually coming out in theaters (even if it is a year away) the way things are now.

The plotline is two boys live in Italy and an alien crash lands in their backyard and they need to get it home

Could be fun! The setting should certainly be pretty at least.

Pixar has experimented with different render techniques, so it would be nice to see it come to fruition.



I love how Pixar gives animators and artists a chance at the director's chair
Rarely, unfortunately.

Most directors in Pixar are from the story department, and it's why SparkShorts was set up to allow people from throughout the company to direct their own short.

There better be someone cumming in a peach.
A different animated property already beat this to the punch...

Something different from the usual Disney/Pixar hyper-realistic rendering style. CGI movies can in fact look different than that, like Spider-Verse, The Red Turtle, Connected or even the Lego movies.
Yeah, it would certainly be refreshing to see.

Pixar has dabbled with it (like the tech demo I posted above), and Disney with experimented with different styles with Paperman and Feast.

The Red Turtle is mostly hand drawn by the way, aside from the turtle itself.

It's a shame Disney/Pixar still hasn't take those technology beyond shorts. I think they experimented a lot with Tangled but had to give up in the end, being too expensive? I can see Soul doing some interesting things in segments, perhaps borrowing a bit from the Rhapsody in Blue part of Fantasia 2000.

I just barely talked my wife out of naming our son Luca recently because I knew it was becoming too popular. I win

Pixar always reveals their movies with a title card, a piece of art that looks more interesting than the actual movie, and a vague one sentence premise and then people assume and speculate what the movie is about and are usually wrong or disappointed.

Meanwhile in reality, Pixar is in fact, well loved.

I'm cool with the premise unlike the premise of their last few movies which is simply just a sad premise. I liked when Pixar made movies that didn't seem like a sad premise but then would have heartwarming or sad moments.

Toy story, the toys are secretly alive!! Oh but it's also a movie about growing old and friends and accepting yourself.

Onward..... Two distant brothers can bring their dead dad back but only for a day.

I somehow missed one of the characters being a sea monster.

It would certainly be great to see them experiment more.

It would also be nice to see Disney make a 2D feature again, but such a thing feels like a pipedream at this point. The most I feel we could hope for would be an evolution of what we saw in Paperman and Feast.
