Luca, Pixars Latest Animated Film Contains Pieces of the Directors Childhood Memory

An animated film by Pixar studio, Luca, is ready to be released this summer.
This film has a unique story, about sea monsters who have an interest in the human world. Despite being a fantasy, Luca actually contains fragments of the childhood memory of the director, Enrico Casarosa. Precisely his hometown in Genoa, a port city on the Riviera, Italy.
In an online presentation held by Disney-Pixar some time ago, he shared that the scenery in this area is so distinctive and beautiful with steep cliffs.

"I always thought that there was something magical about this area, it was almost like there would be creatures from the sea hanging up and hanging out on the rocks. There was something unique, including the color of the water which was cobalt-blue, nothing like this," he said. .
What Enrico brings to Luca is not only a summer on the Riviera with sweet gelato, but also his childhood friendship.
"The essence of this story is about friendship, [like] a strong friendship with my former friends," he said.
Enrico shared that he used to be a bit hesitant and timid, while his best friend, Alberto, was an adventurer who was not afraid to make trouble.

"We are very different, but also very compatible with each other. It makes me challenged to get out of my comfort zone. This kind of friendship is what I want to talk about," Enrico explained.
From the Ancient Map
Even the topic of sea monsters has its roots in his longstanding fascination, ancient maps. Enrico said that in the ancient maps he saw, he often displayed pictures of monsters in the ocean.
"They include legends, things to be feared from the sea, mysteries from the sea, all fear, this is a very amazing folk tale," said the 2012 Oscar nominee in this short animation of La Luna.
Humans and Monsters
The producer, Andrea Warren, added that there are big interesting themes in the film. That is, both humans and sea creatures think of each other as monsters.

"This is part of the theme of the film, namely that they are not actually monsters. If only they knew each other and appreciated each other, humans would know that they were not monsters," he said.
Luca's Adventure in the Human World
Luca is the name of the film's main character voiced by child actor Jacob Tremblay. Luca lives with his family under the sea with one main rule: don't appear to the human world above sea level.
His acquaintance with Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer) made him desperate to break this rule. Moreover, he was imagined by a human-made object that Alberto had introduced: a Vespa motorbike.
Luca will premiere on Disney Plus on June 18, 2021.
