Review of Luca (2021) by Jluis_001 — 26 Jun 2021

Because of this movie, it has been mentioned that there are two Pixars.

The studio with the excellent quality that has produced incredible animated classics, and the one that hardly does enough to please the public.

But I don't see it that way.

I know that I have to admit that there are better movies from the studio, and there are ones that could be considered are coming from a lesser Pixar.

But are you coming to tell me that Pixar has ever made a bad movie? ****.

Luca is perhaps one of their simplest stories ever, and probably their most rudimentary film since Cars 3.

This more than anything because like that trilogy, Luca is more focused on a child audience, and their true great stories are more universal.

Even so, this is a story about friendship that unfolds in a very good way, especially since it's not trying to be more than what it's showing.

I'm not fooling myself, nor do I fool people by telling them it's a great movie, far from it, but can't say it's bad either.

I know people will hardly be talking about in a few weeks, and of course it will not appear in the most prominent of its catalog, but even so, it's not a disposable option. It's more like an optional pick from their repertoire.

Pixar decided not to risk anything, and therefore we see the super basic results.

The colors and visual splendor are present and I liked them, but there's not a great story, not the same soul, nor the same enthusiasm.

Luca is content to be just competent and ordinary. Nothing else.
