Ready for a summer adventure? It’s time to watch Luca on Disney Plus, which is streaming now. The new Pixar movie is all about growing up, exploring the world and making deep friendships. And as with most Pixar films, expect a heartwarming story and some tears to flow.
The animated movie is set on the Italian Riviera, where a 13-year-old sea creature named Luca (Jacob Tremblay) lives off the coast. He can take human form on land, though his protective have forbidden him to visit because the locals have labeled his kind as monsters. Luca can’t contain his curiosity, though, and after encouragement from new friend Alberto, the two boys head off on an adventure through the town of Portorosso.

Luca and Alberto wind up befriending a village girl, Giuilia (Emma Berman), and entering the town triathlon. But they have to be very careful, because the residents of Portorosso have killed sea monsters before and even a drop of water could reveal their true identities.

Luca trailer
The Luca trailer starts with the titular sea creature trying to psych himself up to emerge onto the surface. After he fails, Alberto leads the way and essentially dares Luca to follow him.
Once on land, they take the form of teen boys and begin exploring the town, where they are dazzled by a cherry red Vespa scooter. Boys and their toys, right?
