![]() I’ve never been to the Italian Riviera and I’m pretty sure no one reading this is a sea monster ( if you are, please write in), but most of us can empathise with the feeling you get, spending a summer in an unfamiliar place, where the possibilities seem endless. His only chance at escape? Blend in with the humans and hide out in Portorosso with Alberto, ideally acquiring a Vespa scooter somewhere along the way. Unfortunately for him, his parents get wind of his antics and plan to send him away to the gross oceans deep, with his gross Uncle Ugo (Sacha Baron Cohen). The local town of Portorosso being famed for its sea monster hunting history.Ī chance encounter with another boy-monster, Alberto Scorfano (Jack Dylan Grazer) (I love that everyone has full Italian names) sparks a friendship that leads to Luca becoming even more enamoured with the human world. ![]() It’s a world that his parents are deathly afraid of, and with good reason. He spends is his days herding “goat fish,” avoiding the boats that occasionally pass by, and slowly developing a fascination with the ever encroaching surface world. A sea monster to be precise living in the sea off the Italian Riviera. Much like Disney’s own Little Mermaid, Luca is growing bored with his hum-drum life under the sea. Luca Paguro (Jacob Tremblay) is a monster. Luca isn’t as quite as easily described in such terms, but instead tries to capture a specific feeling. “What if someone made the perfect Fantastic Four movie, without making a Fantastic Four movie?”.“What does the last garbage cleaning robot do when everyone’s left the planet?”.“What’s life like for the average working monster under your bed?”.“What do toys do when we’re not around?”.My personal favourites always had a simple but brilliant concept at their hearts. Those first few Pixar movies used their technical wizardry not only to envision worlds that no one else could, but to tell stories that no one else could.
