Luca [2021]
The rare animated film with good cinematography, Luca tells the story of a sea creature who longs for more. Upon meeting a new friend or two, he learns that the world is wider, scarier, more wonderful, and more fantastic than he could have ever imagined.
As an entire piece, Luca was good. It tells a fairly typical story of “small town character wants to see the wider world and meets someone who thinks they know everything but turns out is a little short sighted as well”. We had an opportunity with Luca to tell a more meaningful tale, but got lost (again) in telling something safe and marketable. Luca had some good laughs, gave decent feelings, and I enjoyed it, but I won't be watching it again.
