Luca lands somewhere around the middle of the hallowed Pixar rankings, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “lesser” film. Slight, sure, but are you going to complain about a shorter run time and a story that isn’t over-plotted? Of course not.

When it comes to Luca as an overall product, much of the criticism could be considered nitpicky. There’s still a very strong story here and it’s a beautifully made film in general. Read more

A beautifully animated, heart-warming story of friendship, tolerance, imagination and wonder. The focus with this film is on being heart-warming rather than heartbreaking and the central friendship that drives the narrative is constantly engaging. Read more

Enrico Casarosa’s Luca, though simple in concept and familiar in certain story elements, is a delightfully charming film that does its job, even though it doesn’t reach the heights of Pixar’s best films. Read more

It’s not exactly groundbreaking and I feel like overcoming prejudice/stereotype is a topic that’s been covered before to better effect, i.e. Zootopia. That said, what this movie does have in abundance is the high energy, vibrancy and warmth of genuine friendship. Read more

It’s busy. It looks pretty. The message – embrace who you are – is worthy, but there’s just not much in the delivery for the film to call its own. Read more

The pacing is swift and the design of the action engaging (even though the resolution feels as equally hasty as the opening, and therefore largely unconvincing), lending to a simple (perhaps overly so, especially for a Pixar piece) yet pleasant little fable. Read more

Het blijft echter Pixar-kwaliteit en er gebeurt voldoende om de aandacht vast te houden. Kortom, een heel leuk tussendoortje en ideaal om samen met de kleine pagadders een regenachtige vrijdagavond voor de buis door te brengen. Read more

Luca is visueel gezien één van de meest prachtig vormgegeven animatiefilms van de laatste jaren. Een leuk avontuur om bij weg te dromen. Read more
