Pixar's Luca - Teaser Trailer (June 2021)
- Thread starter KillstealWolf
- Start date
Looks charming. Pixar needs a win after releasing Onward right as covid lockdowns started and Souls went directly to Disney+
The director is Italian.

The style looks nice but I hope this isn't every bit as predictable as I think it is going to be story wise.
Looks like Ghibli was an inspiration to his shot La Luna:

Looks nice, better than I expected.
I wish Pixar would transition to more mature humanist stories without the need for the obligatory transformation gimmicks or high concept hooks.
For me, Soul would have been way more interesting without the bodyswapping guff, but I do understand Pixar's need to balance child-friendly concepts and visuals with mature stories.

Looks fantastic. Great setting and the visual style looks lovely. Great joke to finish the trailer too.
This looks so good! Also the gay coding speaks to me. I'm sure they aren't going to go there and the red headed girl is probably one of the boys' love interests because heteronormativity and all that...
But I would love to be proven wrong. I think there is a cute story there about three friends finding each other and breaking barriers between worlds.
Since Alberto and Luca have only recently become best friends, does this mean they don't know the other is a sea creature until their little scooter situation?
Clearly the external conflict of the film is that they don't want the people of the town knowing they are sea creatures, but I also feel like that is too simple. Pixar always flips the script on us when we least expect it. What is going to be the internal conflict?

Italians are the first ones who love stereotypes, even about ourselves. That's just making It worse.
I think red haired girl gonna be a curve ball. she just there to throw us off the trail.
It's the stereotypical little town in the middle of nowhere in Italy. Old men playing cards out loud, people having coffee grabbing it by the porcelain coaster, laundry hanging from balcony to balcony. It's a little too specific.
That's just the first things i noticed.
The queerbait is strong in this trailer. Kids having to hide a part of themselves they were born with and can't control? Hmmm
I'm looking forward to it just to see how close to a kids version of Call Me By Your Name it gets.

Amazing to see Splatoon influencing western cinema so quickly.
Wow i just realized Splatoon is splat mixed with platoon.... fuck

Its literally based on where the Italian director grew up
many places in Italy are borderline identical to this depiction too

I live in Italy and 99.9% of places are not like this. This is how the world usually sees us.
what
San Gimignano, the Cinque Terra, the little towns on Lake Como just to name a few.
I'm curious about the Fellini comment as he's not exactly someone you'd associate with a Pixar film lol. That said I'm guessing its just some visual cues to his more notable works.
Its a Pixar film. They always do this kind of stuff. I'd love them to do a more straight forward serious affair but like the MCU, I doubt Disney wants to rock the boat too much.

I mean from the size of Italy i can safely assume that's still just 0.1% of Italy.
Started watching the trailer. And thought, yeah usual Pixar will show us idyllic scenes of this town and the kids. But knowing how Pixar works in the full film one of the kids will spend most of it as a giant squid or something.
And then..... I got to that bit.

This is specifically where the director came from, though. This is his story. I understand you have had a different experience and lifestyle but he's just sharing a personal slice of his own life in Italy with a creative twist.
What needs to happen is more Italian-made media with a more diverse depiction of the lives of Italian people, but I don't think putting down this guy's literal background and experience is the way to advocate for it.
Going to insist that any movie that doesn't take place in Cleveland, Ohio is now stereotypical of America because it's not where I grew up.
I mean... if they're coding this intentionally, hopefully they actually go through with it and not leave it as conveniently vague subtext.
