i want what they have 😭
also, this thought has been living in my mind rent free since watching this: this could literally lead to a cherik-like relationship in the future??? imagine two different sequel plots: one in which luca goes on as a lil scholar, eventually becoming a renowned advocate for sea creature & human relations. another in which alberto lives on the island & decides to try & see why his dad left him but then finds out his dad WAS KILLED by humans, and even though he's still wrestling with his dad abandoning him in the first place, he panics & runs away from his new home. he decides the sea creature hunters on surrounding islands need to die, which OBVIOUSLY makes luca's quest for the two species coming together difficult. they reunite (their chess game equivalent is riding a vespa together lol) and talk it out / drama ensues, eventually alberto realizes the humans aren't ALL terrible, only the terrible ones, and they come back together again. it's literally cherik (or i'm crazy, or both lol)
ANYWAYS, i absolute LOVED this film & everything it represents :')
but what did you guys think?! drop your thoughts in the comments down below, and let's talk luca!! :) (and alberto! and guilia! and the three of them being the weirdest but cutest kids out there I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH)
as always, guys, thanks for watching!! i'll see ya for the next one! 🌈

#FirstTimeWatching #Luca #MovieCommentary
"You go to the bottom of the ocean they still got toxic masculinity, what the hell" lol 😂 you're the best
Well...there's an italian TV serie,called"Sirene"("Mermaids")in which you have mermaids society with toxic femininity,so...🤷♂️
"Anybody getting gay vibe from these two old ladies?" Girl, i am getting a gay vibe from the whole movie 😂
Honestly I LOVE Guilia's dad beyond words. He's only a "minor" character but he does so many things. He's an amputee, he's a working class single (separated?) dad, he was willing to drop everything when Alberto ran away, and he is a pillar of the community who publicly supported and accepted Luca and Alberto immediately after their reveal. I just love him and I hope he plays a bigger role in the inevitable sequel bc I need more of him
Preach!! I believe his name was Massimo or something [I may have misspelled his name]. Really wholesome dad guy. ^^
and his huge chin is just so strangely cute 😭
Actually he's not an amputee he stated he was born without his right arm.
@@stitchlover4381 Which is a great way to subvert the trope. Literally anyone else making this movie would've had a "he lost his arm to a sea monster" story, so it's nice to not have that shoved in.
He’s not an amputee
Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to Disneyland, and I heard someone saying "silencio Bruno" to themselves as they got in a line for a ride. I absolutely loved this movie, and your reaction made it that much better!
*Silenzio
My wholesome qouta has been filled
I say it to my self an trust me it helps
this made me cry
I’m sorry, ‘just because they can only handle less, doesn’t mean that you’re too much’ is the best thing I’ve heard in weeks
Luca was the best animated movie I’d see in a long time. So poetic and sweet! When you realize the deeper meaning/theme of the film, it gets so much better. “Silencio Bruno!” is definitely a mantra for me whenever my fam tells me to stop buying books or Steve and Peggy pins.
omg, same about the books LOL. & i totally agree!! definitely my favorite animated film in a while :')
*Silenzio
while I absolutelyloved Luca and consider it my fav Pixar movie after Coco, Mitchells vs the Machines is literally my favourite movie of all time and I think it was better than Luca
@@misterlad8525 I underestimated"Coco"and when I actually watched it,I found it mindblowing and extremely moving.🤯😭"Luca"and expecially"Mitchells VS the Machines"I only found them extremely boring.😑😴
My only complaint about this movie is that during the farewell they should have done a shot of a single tear falling from Luca's eye and leaving a trail of scales. It would have been perfect.
Thats what I was expecting. I don't know if it was this scene or another where he almost cries or does cry and I had the thought "wait, do tears count as water and transform them?"
Fun fact: 20:08 they are actually a couple, the point of them in the story goes with the times, many gay couples would pretend to be siblings or cousins living together, just so they can be together. So they resemble that. I think it's really cool history facts and it goes with the times so it makes me like it even more
The epic and meaningful friendships in this film speak to my fuzzy ace heart. x
saaaaame :') ☺️💜
Ace here too lmao, this is one of my favourite movies rn
@@fictionaldarling I would recommend doing a reaction to the Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) if you haven’t seen it already. It is an instant favorite if you like animals like rhinos and elephants, and it shows how these animals need to be protected from poachers. Have you seen it before?
Call this a coincidence if you will. That's entirely up to you, folks. Fun fact: about a month after the movie premiered, Jack Dylan Grazer the voice of Alberto Scorfano came out as bi and uses pronouns he/they.
Wait for real? This is a serious topic. You better not be kidding around.
@@nintenmetro yeah, he said the n word once in a video a while back but there's no proof that he ever did anything to his ex
jack dylan grazer is like 17 n if the things he did were true he was and is still growing up. he should have known better yeah but idk. he seems to have adhd too so he could easily come across as insensitive towards other ppl.
The sequel is in the credits scene, we can see how Luca is doing at school and all the things he’s learning with Giulia, and Alberto becomes a lifeguard in Portorroso.
Fun fact: Uncle Ugo is played by Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Borat
"the whale carcass is ~very niiiice~"
@@alexkramerblogs XD yes
Additional fun fact the whole end credits scene is a result of him improvising
"Don't tell me his dad is dead." If only that were the reason he wasn't present. Then maybe Alberto wouldn't have abandonment issues 😔
10:24 I actually don't think it's that weird that Luca and Alberto would help him catch fish. Luca does herd some of them like sheep and Uncle Ugo eats whale blubber, so there are clearly some fish that the fish people don't hold in the same regard as their own species, like how humans can be okay with eating beef even though they and cows are both mammals
"what happened to you, mam, that made you hate the surface so much? did you fall in love with someone and they broke your heart and now you're just like 'no, my son will never go up there'" can we please appreciate the fact that you immediately went with the Disney version of what could have happened? not like 'something bad, someone was hurt or killed or the humans were evil' no, you went with the 'she fell in love with someone" disney-appropriate theory and i love it
The reaction to their friendship is so pure!! This movie should have really been put in theaters but how everything is outside. Sadly box office numbers aren't doing good at the moment. I like how we see a disabled person in the film and said he was born with it.
Look me in the eyes and tell me this movie isn't about being gay
👁️👄👁️ this movie isn't about being gay
Disney dares to say this movie doesn’t slightly represent Lgbtq when they released it during Pride Month
@UCdsCYIi_5RGB3nltlUHfH1A it doesn’t but the creator said their relationship can be interpreted in any type of relationship and so many things can be interpreted as lgbtq
@@saltzd919 when I watched the movie I felt like they were just best friends, but the movie itself definitely represents experiences the LGBTQ community go through
@@saltzd919 and he also said it’s up to interpretation so while they can be platonic it also shows experiences that the lgbtq has gone through
@@saltzd919 you don't have to define luca & alberto's relationship to acknowledge the inherently queer aspects of this film. they literally have to hide parts of their identity to feel accepted by the society they're trying to fit into & (happily) find people who accept them as themselves, which is obviously a metaphor a lot of the lgbt+ community can relate to. you can see it or not, but who are you to tell others they're wrong for relating?
@@saltzd919 while the creator did say it was intended to just be about 2 best friends, he's totally fine with people thinking that they have crushes on each other, and that their relationship can be interpreted as either romantic or platonic. he's even liked fanart of the two together on twitter! and while it's not of the creator, the voice actor for alberto has said that he would love to see a sequel where they are a bit older and they can fall in love
I do have a recommendation for you! "Mitchell's vs. The Machines" on Netflix. It's made by the Into the Spider-Verse team, and it's honestly great!
i've watched it 3 times and i plan to watch it 757 more times. also if you were wondering. the thing that Alberto says is "hi, i'm Twisty Trombone." it's an old game italian kids play where you say your name and mimic the meaning of your name with that hand shake. so Alberto shakes Luca's hand by twisting it and then doing a trombone action. it's so cute, and he clearly saw someone else do it and just mimiced it. The Writer confirmed it.
"You're crazy" "Learned it from you!" This exchange kind of reminds me of "You're taking all the stupid with you" I love a film that really appreciates good friendships, I think in our hyper-romanticised and sexualised culture we don't get enough media that does.
Please they’re literally so so ✨ fruity ✨ like the fact that Luca’s original dream was to ride away on a Vespa with Alberto just- yEs
Harry looks so cute 😍 And I agree we need a sequel
Excited to see this reaction! Edit afterward: And it was a great one! The phrase that neither of them knew the meaning is based on a handshake/pun game the director and his friends would do. It's basically "hello, I am Mr. Trombone" and making the motion of a trombone slide. Then someone else would come up with a new funny name and handshake motion to match the new name.
When I first saw this movie it was on in the background and I got so invested that I sat down and watched it and I wanted to cry so hard this movie is so good!!❤️❤️ it’s up there with my top 15
i flipping jumped when i saw that she reacted to luca its a beautiful movie
I love watching movies and TV shows through your eyes. I like the movie more now after your review.
These characters are compelling and relatable, the trio is icon potential and I really think we should get a sequel.
A sequal would ruin it. I think an animated series would be better. Some episodes about Luca at school and some about ablerto helping out Massimo
Luca is a phenomenal film! It’s so bright and colourful in an age where films love to be dark and brooding. The animation is unique and the story is simple, yet effective. An amazing film!
It was so sweet! Your reaction was so wholesome.
You could get a sunlamp at a local gardening store or order one only. For a few small plants, a single bulb should work and you shouldn't need any crazy lamp or anything. That should help your little fella when you can't get enough sun in the sky.
Have you seen the meme where it’s an add for Luca but someone changed it to Loki with Loki (as Luca), Mobius (as Alberto), and Sylvie (as Julia) all riding a jet ski instead of a Vespa
I have that imaged saved. When I saw it I immediately sent it to my sister
I think it would be cool if pixar made luca into a disney plus show. The art style would be similar to the drawings in the credits.
Oh, like they’re doing with Dug?
This movie is so adorable and there soooo cute
Luca is the best Pixar movie! Fight me! It’s the wholesomeness we all need Also Luca is best boi! I will protect him with my life ♥️
We had a French Pixar movie (Ratatouille), then a Mexican Pixar movie (Coco) & now we have an Italian Pixar movie (Luca)
And next year we are going to Canada
After two viewings, Luca became my favorite Pixar movie (I’ve now seen it over 14 times). The way the characters were written and portrayed as well as the themes and messages really spoke to me. For example, Giulia’s family situation (split family and feeling like an outsider in a different city when going to visit your other parent) and how it was treated by not making it a big deal like it is in so many pieces of media. This is something I’ve basically been dealing with for my entire life and it felt nice to have it be recognized that not all families are perfect but that just because they’re not doesn’t mean they can’t work. Luca’s curiosity and drive to learn more about the world around him also really resonated with me. And I see him in the end going to stay in the human world while balancing and accepting his differences as a loose metaphor for immigration. My mom and dad are German immigrants to the U.S and my step mom is a Colombian immigrant and they all still have lots of family in their respective countries. While I’m in the U.S and have to figure how to balance my cultural heritage and family with the ideas and culture of where I live. I was also kind of the outsider/weird kid in school too and the trio friendship setup is almost the same with the friends I had in grade school (and still friends to this day) so it was nice to remember that. The movie’s way of portraying acceptance and talking about it also helped me to do some introspection of myself and helped me to acknowledge and accept the fact that I’m asexual. Luca may be a simple movie plot wise but the profound way it has affected me and the time it’s come at the end of a major cycle of personal growth (graduating high school, starting college, reconnecting with my mom’s side of the family and restoring a line of communication that had been broken for almost 15 years, losing several friends and family members, surviving a pandemic) has solidified it as one of my favorite movies of all time.
Luca was amazing and so sweet. I cried at the end. Agreed and loved your reaction
Why is this woman so heartwarming and sweet and full of positivity? I love it!
We need a Luca 2 FAST! 💗😭
I've been obsessively watching 4+ hours a day (no exageration) of reactions, tic-tocks, reviews, fan edits, etc. every day since seeing the movie 9 days ago. And over all that time this is the most lovely reaction video I've seen! Your enthusiasm and honestly is great, keep it up!
as i was watching the movie for the first time, and by the time it was done, to me it felt like there were three messages being sent at once. at first i thought the movie was about freedom, which in a way, it was. them being free to do what they want with their lives without any restrictions. the second message about the importance of friendship, as luca, alberto's and giulia's reflects heavily. and the other one being acceptance where the town accepts them as people. just my interpretation. let me know what you think jess. love to know your input 👍
I really need to watch this one!
omg YES i think you'd absolutely love it!!! it's such a cute & heartwarming movie :')
the disney version of call me by your name
Giulia and Grama are true allies.
4:18 I was dying laughing
This is my new fave Pixar movie 🥺🥺🥺
"It is a terrifying sight to see your son floating" lord you are a gem. take my subscription.
Loved that you watched it!!!
I love the friendship in this movie it's so cute!!!
Yes!!! They are like Cherik!! I love your sequel idea!!
Watching you talk about how adorable this movie is is super adorable!
i love this movie so much but i don't think there will be a sequel because the end credits show us what happened afterwards but still this is amazing ❤❤
PERIOD, YOU ARE A QUEEN AND WE SUPPORT YOU
The only word that could accurately describe your reaction is "wonderful". It's so heartwarming to see how invested and passionate you were about the characters and story. Such a lovely reaction that put a smile on my face. 😄 Would love to see you react to some of the Muppet movies, or some of the other Jim Henson classics.
I remember watching this with my friend, and I told him how people have seen this as a gay allegory. He said “of course” and every once in a while we joke about them being a couple Then came the train seen, he literally turned to me and said “okay they’re gay, don’t care what anyone says , they might not know it but we know it because they are 100% very gay”
A really good reaction! This is such a fantastic movie.
This movie came out two years after i lost my best friend, throughout the film i felt such nostalgia and a happy warm feeling of childhood and friendship and also trauma. But the ending, gosh the ending made me cry, the “i can’t do it without you” “you’re never without me” i felt as if that was me saying that and her answering me back what alberto said to luca. I will forever love this movie. Also i totally ship those fish boys.
Yay for Pixar reaction! I really liked this movie. It has all the summer vibes.
I had been waiting to watch this movie with my sister, but I saw this video and decided to watch it on my own anyway, and oh my gosh, I loved it so much and I'm so glad I watched it! The whole first part of the movie was mostly just fun and games and happiness until the last like 30/40 minutes, and then it gets real heartbreaking for a while before we get to the race, and then Luca rescues Alberto, and Guilia helps keep them safe, and her dad, and Luca's parents, and the grandma, and the train, and Alberto got adopted, and I was crying, and it was so great, and then while the credits were going, I noticed that the pictures were their story continuing, so I had to go back to see what happened, and I was crying even more because it was so cute. This was so much fun and such a good movie, and I was so happy for them all in the end! This was a great movie to watch on the last day before my junior year of college starts tomorrow! Also, fun fact, my power went out right after I finished watching this video because there's a storm going on, and I kept typing this comment while the power came on and went back off like three times.
Luca and Alberto are such adorable sea monster boys 🥰 I love them
I wanted this to happen but i didn't know it was going to amd i'm so happy to see this video!!
i cant explain it but harry seems like hed be into dark academia and wants a pet snake
it's so nice to see someone else love this movie as much as i do dfjJDHF, ive seen too many reviews on youtube saying its just boring but, it wasn't supposed to be some big dramatic plotline, the director literally just wanted to make a movie about a fun Italian summer, and there's so many little animation details that make it so pretty, and such a good metaphor for being gay or different, it make me cry :,)
It was better seeing it through your eyes. Thanks for that.
Yaaayyy Terry Also favourite upload Monday
ugh i love this movie so much
It really is an amazing and cute movie. Also the whole italian vibe it has. 😍
I love your idea for the sequel. Pixar should just grab it and start working on the next movie (and pay you royalties obviously 😆). I also love your reaction, one of the best I've seen so far (and boy, I have seen plenty already). If you haven't seen it yet (I don't see your reaction but maybe you just weren't doing reactions at the time the movie hie the screens), you should do Zootopia/Zootropolis reaction. I'd love to see your comments on that.
I think this was a good stand alone film, for me the credit drawings were better than a sequel, the were short and simple and so cute, I really liked this movie
Oh boy! Your Encanto video had a popup for this reaction video. I haven't seen Luca (yet) either! Time to fix this. BBIAB :D
Watching your commentaries have me doing the Oprah *hands in agreeance* gif all the time
7:03 I love how the whole movie is an analogy for being gay. Being sent farther out to sea is meant to represent conversion therapy, his first time changing is meant to represent his first time acting on his feelings for another boy, etc
omg you did not comment the pictures on the end credits of him being a student and seeing snow and wearing shoes and being happy OH MY GOOOOODDDDDDDDD
I love your reactions. A great way to end a hot Texas day haha.
This is a wonderful surprise
It would be interesting if some minor antagonists of a sequel were a group of sea monsters who COULDN'T transform into humans and are resentful of Luca and co. because they at least have to option to pass off as humans but they can't. and they feel that they can never be part of the people's world until they realize that this town has learned to accept them to regardless of what they looked like
That would actually be interesting, and still fit into the theme well
i love this movie so much!🥰🥰
Okay! What a really cute little goofball of a mov... WAIT WHERE DID THE ONION NINJA COME FROM. Dangit I've been Pixar-rolled! Still such a wonderful flim. Now to watch *your* reaction!
Love ur reaction
I love how you read astronomy even though you didn’t have too lol because same
The NeverEnding Story Film Series commentary would be interesting to see.
The town bully looks like a 30 older Frat Boy.
I agree, I need to see a second movie of Luca.
I also think that Alberto’s dad was taken out by humans rather than abandoning him. Also I wanted a Vespa for a couple weeks after seeing this movie lol
Now why would you think that?
Those cookies (I think they're cookies) you're eating look sooooo good! What brand are they??
THE INTROOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My prayers are with harry rn 🥰 luvv ur videos, u should react to soul aswell 😊
It's ridiculous that people would say this film can't be read with a queer lens when it heavily touches on queer themes. Hello, when the grandma said not everyone will accept him, but he can at least find the people that will just brought back so many memories of my own coming out experience. I LOVE this movie.
Exactly. It’s a piece of media, it’s up for interpretation
Also, Revenge of The Nerds commentary would interesting to see too.
To be fear, I don't know in other European countries but in Spain, if you go to a little village, or a rural Town or whatever, locals are going to aproach you, specially elders, to ask you why are you there and to know who's your family (assuming that you are there on vacation visiting your family). When you are a young teenager or a kid, older teenagers will aproach you to, like, prove if you are worthy of hanging out with, or just to humble you or wtever they want, so yeah, it's pretty common
I loved it too. 💚💙
You should react to Soul. it is a really good movie too.
Hey Jess!! I’m a big big fan of your content as I find your reactions and commentary extremely adorable, much like your personality ❤️❤️ I absolutely love the MCU as it’s gotten me through some very dark times in my life. I was just wondering, would you consider collecting any of the Infinity Saga Lego sets and are you as big of a fan of Pixar as you are of the MCU? I’m a huge believer in the Pixar Theory and the idea that those films are as interconnected as the MCU! Have a wonderful day Jess!! Keep up the beautiful vids as they brighten up so many lives with your smile 😘 Lotta love from Tom x
aww i appreciate it!! thank you so much!! and i'm not _not_ a fan of pixar, haha, but the mcu definitely has a special place in my heart ☺️ i'm glad the mcu was there for you as well!!
@@fictionaldarling AHHHHH 😭 thank you so much for replying that’s made my day!! Your content is so precious, especially the MCU content! My favourite KZhead notification by far is anything from your channel! ❤️
you should watch raya the last dragon next pls
I have no idea how you made it through the movie without crying. The finale gets me everytime 😭 great reaction!!
Lol I love your theory that the whole town is secretly sea monsters incognito 🤣
You’ve been getting into horror a bit more and since you watched two of the Scream movies maybe if there is enough interest you could react to the Fear Street trilogy which is on Netflix. All 3 movies are sooooo good!
FAAAAAAAAACTS
Yayy I lovveeee this movie 🍿 waiting for this☺️☺️😆😆😍😍😁😁😁♥️♥️🥰🥰
your theory that the mom got her heart broken is great!! maybe she fell in love and when she finally got comfortable to share her true identity with her boyfriend, she was rejected and discriminated
Oooh, that could be an amazing possible answer! I like the concept! Great idea =)
