Luca - Avis

The story's bright swirl of Pixar pixie dust, jangle soundtrack, and gentle lessons on accepting otherness and learning to move past fear feel like a temporary passport: a sweetly soulful all-ages dip in la dolce vita.

There is quite a bit to like.

...certainly isn’t without its charms.

The concept is strong enough...

...it’s packed to the gills with charm.

Another reliably slick combination of the Pixar playbook elements we’ve come to know so well...

It’s all cute enough.

...this is Pixar’s most infectiously charming film in years...

The film strikes a wonderful balance between humour, imagination and peril...

...a gorgeous and lovely coming-of-age fantasy with plenty of slapstick laughs, the obligatory heartwarming family moments and a friendship for the ages.

Pixar’s shortest, sweetest story in a very long time.
