My theory on this is that the film is confirmed to be in the 1950s and 60s. Would take place before or after The Incredibles 1 & 2. It would explain why human nature is evolving in various places thanks to the wisps from Brave.
@@FlicksAndTheCity exactly! Luca does set around that time before or after the Incredibles. It’s the first step of nature changing before Finding Nemo.
I had the same experience the last movies they have done have been very underwhelming in the last couple of years, a lot of ppl related to this movie but but the homophobia during this movies announcement……😮💨
@@andykorn9837 yeah this movie was an experimental type from looks to hard topics, when this movie was announced they wanted to highlight a *watered* down coming out LGBTQ type of feel(pun intended) and the creators made it be known, which triggered the homophobes regardless it was a cute movie and the message behind it was gr8 IMO🧎🏻♂️
I love how the Italian aria they chose at the beginning was "O mio babbino caro" from Gianni Schicchi, in which the character of Lauretta is beginning her father to let her have what she wants most. It's a great thematic tie-in, even though it's not romantic love (at least explicitly) in the case of Luca.
When Luca and Alberto were dancing to the “magic singing woman”, they were doing the SAME dance in ratatouille when he came back, and the two rats were doing the same dance. Edit: thanks for all the likes :) 👍🏽
2:41 that's a popular Italian toy Basically there's a button under the pedestal and when you press it the toy (in this case Pinocchio but it can be any other character like animals or other things) flops like it has no bones That's because there's string inside of it and when you press the button they become loose and that's why the toy flops I have like 3 in my room from when I was a kid
Another Easter egg is that one of the crabs Luca’s father touches is name Principessa( sorry if I spelled that wrong) which is a reference the the movie Life is Beautiful.
Do you notice this was kind of Disney way of making a film about lgbtq+, the boys are hiding a secret that no one can find out and a lot of people are against them. This just makes me love the movie even more 🥰❤️
I could imagine that the goat fish uncle Hugo talks to is Enrico, the fish Luca talked about when one of the goat fishes wanted to swim away into the ocean. (Btw that could maybe be a Nemo reference, because Nemo got lost when he swam away and got caught by the diver)
(all theorized and not Easter eggs) 1. Bruno is Alberto's dad name 2. The plot takes place in 1954 because of the films that can be seen in the background 3. The monster characters' surnames translations are fishy (it could be predicted the two old ladies were monsters) 4. Huge comparison to "Call me by your name"(Luca=Timothé Chalamet, both take place in Italy, they are seen as monsters and harmfull for society, they wanna be free) 5. When Luca at the end COMES OUT to the rain he reveals his true self (the two old ladies who are always together do so) . His parents want to take him to the deep when they find out.
@@CaptainJZH yeah, that's right, but the 3 films on the cinema cardboard are from the 54. So maybe the other things are just references since for example the director of the film on TV is Italian. But yeah, more or less those are the time settings.
Also I noticed none of the characters had a tragic backstory in which they specifically lost someone to death; Alberto’s father just abandoned him/Giulia’s mom lives in Genova
@@MiquellaTheUnannoyed yah… WAIT I FORGOT GIULIA HAD A MOM. Not the first but one of the few Disney/Pixar movies where the female protagonist/antagonist’s mom isn’t dead
The name of Massimo's cat (Machiavelli) is a reference to the Italian philosopher, historian and politic Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527). Niccolò Machiavelli has been considered as the father of political science and political philosophy
Hi, well in a scene Alberto jumps into the water and turns in to a sea monster. Guilia lifts up his arm and if you look closely to Alberto’s arm he has a cut on his arm.
i actually saw a bit of a reference in the movie luca alberto and all of the other sea monsters turn into humans once dry and as soon as they get water on themselves that certain part of them gets turned back into sea monster which i feel like had a slight reference to a tv show called H2O a tv show about mermaids that can turn into regular people but once wet they turn back into mermaids but idkr- just a thought
I maybe looking at it wrong but I feel at 5:25 there’s a lighting bolt on Lucas helmet that may reference to Lightning Mcqueen from Cars. Also you notice that he’s trying to race to the finish line.
I noticed that too but I think it's more like because lightnings are cool to kids, they also added flames to the Vespa they drew for example, or to reference Alberto earlier in the movie when they say something like: "Oh, we should bring a telescope!" "Yes, that shoots lightnings!"
In the credits of the movie, the cat Machiavelli befriends a tortoise named Caligola (Italian for Caligula). 🐢 Caligula was a mad Roman emperor, who named his horse a senator and ordered a war against the sea god Neptune (Roman soldiers were ordered to go to the beach and start hitting the sea water). The name Caligula for the tortoise is probably due to a reference to the Roman tortoise formation (a war formation of the Roman army). Moreover, the Machiavelli's friendship/enmity may be due to the work “The prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli, in which the author describes the characteristics of the ideal leader
There are three other Easter Eggs that I’ve noticed: 1. When it comes to Luca sneaking into town to explore without his parents noticing is similar to Quasimodo from “The Hunchback Back of Notre Dame” sneaking in town to the festival without Frollo noticing. 2. For how much the humans and sea monsters are afraid of each other is very but get along at the end is very similar to the people and “Box Trolls” being afraid of each other then get along at the end. Also when Alberto was collecting things at night in the beginning was similar to the beginning of Box Trolls (mostly when it comes to the alarm clock). 3. The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Box Trolls have the same type of ending by as the movie Luca being accepted with freedom. That includes the ending of The Little Mermaid when King Triton let Ariel Free.
Good point, I also really love The Hunchback of Notre Dame and so far what I think Luca Quasimodo have in common is that they both never left the ocean and the cathedral for fear of being treated like "monsters" because of their true form. but in the end they both receive the respect of the people, and I think Giulia plays a role almost similar to that of Esmeralda
At the start of the film luca talks to his fish enrico about his friend saying he’s either out there seeing the world or he’s dead the same friend Luca talks about is the one in the end Creds with uncle ugo
Luca is so intent on meaning something that it only ever halfway inhabits the delightfully colorful world it lays out. We never get a deeper understanding of the history between the sea monsters and the humans beyond some hints that there has been far more interaction than Luca was raised to believe.
While you’re certainly right, that’s not really the intended focus of the movie. The film at its core is meant to be a purely emotional piece about friendship, childhood and coming of age...using sea monsters as a unique storytelling perspective. Luca takes inspiration from Miyazaki films, in which the themes of the story trump any worldbuilding the filmmakers establish; that aspect is more so up to the viewer to speculate on because all and all the “lore” of the world is not important or necessary in telling the story at hand
I don’t know if anybody else knew, but when Alberto introduces the tower to Luca, Luca says “mother of pearl” which is a reference to what mr. krabs says when he sees something crazy or insane. So that’s a spongebob reference.
You forgot the jack skellington skull in the beginning of the movie when he first comes home for lunch ! It’s hanging behind him on one of the baskets holding the herbs and plants !
Luca’s last name means hermit crab in English. Edit: remember at the beginning of the movie when Luca is herding the fish. And he tells the fish not to run away like that other fish. Who he says is probably dead. Well the end credits show where that run away fish is.
When I was watching this movie I couldn’t help but compare Alberto to Lupin! Can’t believe I was right that the castle of caligliostro was used as an inspiration xD
He said "piacere, Girolamo Trombetta", literally "pleased to meet you, I'm Jerome Little-trumpet". It's a common joke based on word play you make while presenting yourself, and it has many iterations depending on where in Italy you're from, but they all work in the same way. It works like this: while shaking hands with the other person, you introduce yourself as "Girolamo Trombetta", doing a turning or circular motion with your hand on "Girolamo" ("giro" meaning "turn"), and a back and forth one on "Trombetta", as if you were playing a trumpet. Other versions maintain the first name Girolamo and the same motions, but change the surname. For example the one from where I grew up is "Girolamo Seghetti", "seghetti" meaning "hacksaws". Another one I've heard is "Girolamo Pompetta", "pompetta" meaning "little pump". I feel this is waaay to deep an Italian injoke to be understood by all, but that bit at the end when Alberto asks Luca to find its meaning for him made me cry even tho I knew what it meant. ....can this all be considered a spoiler?🤣
He said, "Piacere, Girolamo Trombetta" Which means Nice to meet you. My name is Twisty Trombone. This is funny because when Alberto first met Luca while he was shaking his hand he twisted their hands and pulled Luca's hand back and forth like a trombone.
I wanna know what the deal is with John Ratzenberger. On Wikipedia in his filmography it does list that he was a few of the extras in the town in this movie, but why are they making his voice appearances sooo unnoticeable? I'm afraid they're trying to phase him out which would be sad. He hasn't missed a movie yet, and I don't want that to change ):
I would like to think that the goatfish that appeared with Ugo at the end of the credits was Enrico, which Luca mentions when he was talking to one of the other goatfish. He explained Enrico went loose and ran away. So it's a neat idea to think about. Edit: Okaaay, so someone actually had the same idea. I wasn't aware of the comment. The concept, and comment was addressed in the video, "The SECRET Moments You Missed in LUCA's ENDING!". So my apologies for restating an already mentioned theory.
I can't believe is not included the most obvious scene about Mona Lisa!!! When Luca asks to one of his fish named Mona Lisa why she is smiling... I did find it hilarious
I loved it so much! I got just a few references and easter eggs, haha! Because I was so interested enjoying the movie and having fun that I completely forgot to keep looking to find them XD Anyways, it's among my favorite Pixar movies now, in the beginning I thought it was going to be "more from the same" typical of these "good monsters" movies that people have to accept and all but it really isn't just about that, it was clear that the main theme is friendship. It has beautiful messages, beautiful animation and fun and cute characters. Enrico Casarosa did great along with everyone else involved 💙 And I have Italian descent, it was so good to see more of it in the movie, another reason for connecting with it 🥰
Everyone saying that Julia’s dad looks like the dude from La Luna. But Julia’s dad says he was born missing an arm. It may be an Easter egg, but they certainly aren’t the same person.
Here's how I think this fits into the pixar theory. In monsters Inc, mike says the loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, and the abominable snowman used to work for monsters Inc but they got banished. A theory about monsters Inc is the doors allow monsters to travel through time. So what if the first of luca's species used to work for monsters Inc but got banished to the Italian Rivera before it was in the 1950s and 1960s (where Luca takes place).
And since it takes place between the 1950s and the 1960s and so does the incredibles according to the pixar theory, I think this takes place before the incredibles because the incredibles had advanced technology where Luca does not.
The rock in the sea at the end gave me The Little Mermaid vibes, Alberto’s broken tower home is very much like a dilapidated Rapunzel’s tower in Tangled.
The reference of Luca having fish above his head was not necessary a Tom & Jerry “bird” reflection. But instead When we get hit we see stars and since Luca thought astronomy were fish, he sees fish instead of stars.
The friendship between Luca and Alberto tends to remind me of the friendship between Auggie and Jack in the film Wonder. It's also intriguing as the role of August Pullman is portrayed by Jacob Tremblay, who voices Luca in this Pixar film.
One thing I always found interesting since I've first watched Luca is how the city name Portorosso is almost the same as one of our cities in Slovenia which is called Portorož ( Portorose in english)
Girolamo: giro=turn/twist (look at the gesture) Trombetta: trumpet (when you play trumpet you go with hands back and foward) Girolamo it's a common italian name and Trombetta it's a common italian surname So, "Nice to meet you, I'm Girolamo Trombetta" + plus the gestures eith hands It's a game/gag/joke for children
Thanks for sharing that. I covered 'Piacere Girolomo Trombetta' and what it means both literally and for the characters in my other video here ► th-cam.com/video/LM-8bTOdiSQ/w-d-xo.html 😊
At 9:28, just above the poster you're talking about, you can see the street is called "via Piaggio", referencing the name of the vehicle manufacturer that produces Vespa
when Luca is riding the bike right before he revels he is a sea monster the little dish thing on his head has a drawing that looks like a clown fish (Nemo)
honestly, onward and soul were a bit underwhelming to me. I am glad that luca was so much better than I expected. it was so good that it was the first pixar movie to make me actually cry. a lot of them almost did, but this one did. totally gonna be a classic in a few years
I loved Onward, I thought it was beautifully animated, it was an exciting adventure, it made me laugh and cry in places. Loved the focus on family, siblings, loss, finding your voice/confidence.
How awesome was Luca?! 😃😍
Did I miss anything and what are your theories about the movie?
Luca was amazing 👌
96/100!!

In the credits of the movie, the cat Machiavelli befriends a tortoise named Caligola (Italian for Caligula). 🐢
Caligula was a mad Roman emperor, who named his horse a senator and ordered a war against the sea god Neptune (Roman soldiers were ordered to go to the beach and start hitting the sea water).
The name Caligula for the tortoise is probably due to a reference to the Roman tortoise formation (a war formation of the Roman army).
Moreover, the Machiavelli's friendship/enmity may be due to the work “The prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli, in which the author describes the characteristics of the ideal leader
Another thought on the naming of Portorosa: The Italian city in Cars 2 where the Lemons meet up is called Porto Corsa. A bit similar, don't you think?
I really was waiting for that to be mentioned too! I saw and noticed that RIGHT away! Maybe too obvious of an Easter egg for it to be mentioned? 🤷♀️
to be fair, Porto just means port, and there are a ton of Italian words ending in -osa so that could just be a coincidence
There are three other Easter Eggs that I’ve noticed: 1. When it comes to Luca sneaking into town to explore without his parents noticing is similar to Quasimodo from “The Hunchback Back of Notre Dame” sneaking in town to the festival without Frollo noticing. 2. For how much the humans and sea monsters are afraid of each other is very but get along at the end is very similar to the people and “Box Trolls” being afraid of each other then get along at the end.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Box Trolls have the same type of ending by as the movie Luca being accepted with freedom. That includes the ending of The Little Mermaid when King Triton let Ariel Free.
Good point, I also really love The Hunchback of Notre Dame and so far what I think Luca Quasimodo have in common is that they both never left the ocean and the cathedral for fear of being treated like "monsters" because of their true form. but in the end they both receive the respect of the people, and I think Giulia plays a role almost similar to that of Esmeralda

Luigi from Cars is also a hidden Easter egg in the film. He’s in the plaza of the town and is a different color.
There's also in the end credits illustrations, Luca And Giulia watching the 1969 Apollo moon landing!
I always loved the finding nemo, and finding dory Easter eggs.
When you see Donald Duck before she even mentions him and you haven't watched Luca (so you're just spoiling yourself): OOH- DONALD!
The pizza planet truck has a design and sometimes Pixar makes it look different for the movies.
Alberto running like that makes me remind of sonic 10:42
What did Alberto say to luca in Italian that he didn’t know the meaning?
He said "piacere, Girolamo Trombetta", literally "pleased to meet you, I'm Jerome Little-trumpet". It's a common joke based on word play you make while presenting yourself, and it has many iterations depending on where in Italy you're from, but they all work in the same way.
It works like this:

Isn’t there a moana reference when Alberto says “the sun, the moon and the sky”
I would like to think that the goatfish that appeared with Ugo at the end of the credits was Enrico, which Luca mentions when he was talking to one of the other goatfish. He explained Enrico went loose and ran away. So it's a neat idea to think about.
Edit: Okaaay, so someone actually had the same idea. I wasn't aware of the comment. The concept, and comment was addressed in the video, "The SECRET Moments You Missed in LUCA's ENDING!". So my apologies for restating an already mentioned theory.
Does the guy who makes cameos in every Pixar movie voices a character or appears in the film.
I think you mean John Ratzenberger and no he doesn't.
@@FlicksAndTheCity yes I do and are you sure he was in Soul as a physical cameo.
Flicks and the city he was credited in the film
@@FlicksAndTheCity wait that’s illegal
Hitchcock? No he doesnt........😂😉
I can't believe is not included the most obvious scene about Mona Lisa!!! When Luca asks to one of his fish named Mona Lisa why she is smiling... I did find it hilarious
I loved it so much! I got just a few references and easter eggs, haha! Because I was so interested enjoying the movie and having fun that I completely forgot to keep looking to find them XD Anyways, it's among my favorite Pixar movies now, in the beginning I thought it was going to be "more from the same" typical of these "good monsters" movies that people have to accept and all but it really isn't just about that, it was clear that the main theme is friendship. It has beautiful messages, beautiful animation and fun and cute characters. Enrico Casarosa did great along with everyone else involved 💙 And I have Italian descent, it was so good to see more of it in the movie, another reason for connecting with it 🥰
Luca is so cool I wish I could turn in too a fish and be swimming in the ocean
Another thing one of the teammates of carpole was named Guido supposedly after the Italian car in cars
Everyone saying that Julia’s dad looks like the dude from La Luna. But Julia’s dad says he was born missing an arm. It may be an Easter egg, but they certainly aren’t the same person.
Do the deleted scenes next!
Here's how I think this fits into the pixar theory. In monsters Inc, mike says the loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, and the abominable snowman used to work for monsters Inc but they got banished. A theory about monsters Inc is the doors allow monsters to travel through time. So what if the first of luca's species used to work for monsters Inc but got banished to the Italian Rivera before it was in the 1950s and 1960s (where Luca takes place).
I also think Luca takes place before finding nemo and dory because the goat fish aren't as intelligent as the fish in finding nemo.
And since it takes place between the 1950s and the 1960s and so does the incredibles according to the pixar theory, I think this takes place before the incredibles because the incredibles had advanced technology where Luca does not.
Thank you for all your hard work on your videos! Great job every time!
So nice of you! Thanks, Dean! 😊
Me: about to watch this video
Also me: haven’t watch the movie yet
The video: gets an add about Luca at the start (for me tho)
Me: cool
I also noticed the Donald duck, when I watched the movie.
Well done! 😊
I,loved this movie it wasn’t what I was expecting it had a EPIC plot twist
you can see how much work went into this film
You missed "via Piaggio" at 9:27, the Vespa's brand itself 😉
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Of course! Great spot, Federico! 😊 So glad you liked my video!
@@FlicksAndTheCity ❤️🤩
THIS IS SO MIND BLOWING VIDEO I EVER SEEN :0
this looks like a amazing movie
"And Octopuses" My brain: Octopi? Or I like to say OctoPIE
Also Luca and Alberto are half Mexican half American! Isn’t that cool?
Wait what?
It's in Italy dingle Berry.
Lmao im trolling
I wish there was a Wall-E easter egg of an old Italian poster that said “compra e grande” (Italian for buy and large)
Awesome video as always 👌
Thanks again!
The rock in the sea at the end gave me The Little Mermaid vibes, Alberto’s broken tower home is very much like a dilapidated Rapunzel’s tower in Tangled.
100/100
The reference of Luca having fish above his head was not necessary a Tom & Jerry “bird” reflection. But instead When we get hit we see stars and since Luca thought astronomy were fish, he sees fish instead of stars.
The John Ratzeberger tradition is broken 🥺
I guess we knew it couldn't last forever! 😱
Love Luca movie rn 😂🤩
Eu também fiz um vídeo de ester eggs desse filme incrível!(Só que é na linguagem portuguesa!)
fria
otimo filme que Luca e
@@renatodias9190 sim
I gust watched Luca 2days ago it was sooooooooooo awsome its my favorite movi3
Gayest kids' film ever. I loved it!
The friendship between Luca and Alberto tends to remind me of the friendship between Auggie and Jack in the film Wonder. It's also intriguing as the role of August Pullman is portrayed by Jacob Tremblay, who voices Luca in this Pixar film.
Alberto:Oop I broke my bike I gotta run
Me:You look like your running like the flash
One thing I always found interesting since I've first watched Luca is how the city name Portorosso is almost the same as one of our cities in Slovenia which is called Portorož ( Portorose in english)
Girolamo: giro=turn/twist (look at the gesture)
Trombetta: trumpet (when you play trumpet you go with hands back and foward)
Girolamo it's a common italian name and Trombetta it's a common italian surname
So, "Nice to meet you, I'm Girolamo Trombetta" + plus the gestures eith hands
It's a game/gag/joke for children
Thanks for sharing that. I covered 'Piacere Girolomo Trombetta' and what it means both literally and for the characters in my other video here ► th-cam.com/video/LM-8bTOdiSQ/w-d-xo.html 😊
the bit where luca finds the record player its the same one as the record player in up
Luca luca is the best movie so wish it's sequel
💺🤢
At 9:28, just above the poster you're talking about, you can see the street is called "via Piaggio", referencing the name of the vehicle manufacturer that produces Vespa
when Luca is riding the bike right before he revels he is a sea monster the little dish thing on his head has a drawing that looks like a clown fish (Nemo)
Here’s what Luca and Pinocchio both have in common.
They are both Italian and they become real boys.
Love Luca, great movie and came out of nowhere to me. Have to support.
6:24
Those are actually Spanish cards, but the game is Italian
Italian and Spanish playing cards are very similar
honestly, onward and soul were a bit underwhelming to me. I am glad that luca was so much better than I expected. it was so good that it was the first pixar movie to make me actually cry. a lot of them almost did, but this one did. totally gonna be a classic in a few years
I loved Onward, I thought it was beautifully animated, it was an exciting adventure, it made me laugh and cry in places. Loved the focus on family, siblings, loss, finding your voice/confidence.
Something you missed you know that fish Luca mentions that ran away once that’s the fish that uncle Ugo was talking to
I give luca an 10/10
