"I wonder what kind of fish they are." "I think they're, like, axolotls." "I don't think they're fish, guys. They... talk." this three way debate epitomizes your entire channel fr

[@sarala3214]

😂😂😂😂

[@ac85450]

about to watch video, but I can already guess who said all this. In order: Zuff, Bryce, Rob. Crosses fingers, hoping I'm right.

[@ac85450]

Urgh, so close-- Bryce and Rob switched vibes today-- or at least. Rob was more in a chilled, casually wondering mood and Bryce was more on the snark 😂

2 boys living in fear of coming out, going to a place that is hostile to people like them, making them hide who they really are, until find a "chosen family" to live their true colors, and there are people who still try to convince us that it is not a queer allegory, a beautiful one btw

[@acidlzx]

100% a allegory for being queer. It’s so well done ❤❤❤

[@mrsfahrenheit]

factss

[@artthounasty5877]

Iirc, the writer said that there was potential to make Luca and Alberto a couple and it had been discussed but they wanted to concentrate on the pre-romance friendship.

[@JakeConrad666]

[@fishmagee5135]

"You got me off the island, Luca" always makes me sobbb

[@annamarie8903]

I think the message of this story is beautiful, in my perspective it is a story that can teach kids about accepting others for their differences (wether it’s sexuality, race, gender, ability) and shows the importance of seeing people for their personal qualities. I thought the friendship between Luca and Alberto (potentially something more 👀) was so sweet and heartwarming! 💗

[@Daytondaily]

It’s definitely a love story. Too many consistency’s for it not to be.

[@javidiaz9849]

I’m pretty sure it was suppose to be a movie in the disney+ lgbtq section but they didn’t follow thru with it ( not to sure tho)

[@Starlightclod]

I hope we get a sequel where they’re older and we can explore their relationship further

[@videohistory722]

When luca was dizzy, and fish were swimming around his head, it was a play on a cartoon seeing stars. You get it? Because Luca still thinks the stars are fish!

[@lovergirll2063]

wait that’s so cool

[@kikipie1230]

Haha I got the old cartoon reference but didn’t connect it back to him thinking stars were fish. Thanks for the detail!!

[@starprincessjolie]

this works better as birds instead of stars

[@videohistory722]

Someone figured out that Gulias school is only about an hours train ride away. So if you're sad about the ending, you now have proof that they'll visit every chance they get. Naysayers, shut up. Let us have this.

[@thrownawaytubes]

Also in the after credits they have art of them all hanging out and I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be when Luca and Giulia visit home during the summer! Those drawings were the only thing keeping me in one piece after watching the movie I was so sad 😭 I needed that clarity

[@Khiara]

THANK U FOR MAKIN ME FEEL BETTER

[@mecohano]

Make sure to watch the short, “Ciao, Alberto!”

[@theoneandonlyK]

having travelled on that train route in real life, I can confirm that it's about 1hr 20 to 1hr 30 barring any delays

[@priscillas4722]

Haha Bryce and Rob having zero faith in Zuff as a fish 🐟 like “nope, you wouldn’t make it”! 😂😂

[@rebecky5ever]

The director was answering questions on Twitter and apparently one of the fishing spears that were thrown at Alberto did cut him, if you look closely he has a little scar on his arm.

[@terrylewis_]

I love Luca, such a cute movie. There is a short that follows this up that's really cute showing what Alberto gets up to while they're at school! I think its called "Ciao Alberto"

[@b3rrysweet467]

omg!! i put this on for my 2 y/o niece one time & ended up LOVING it. i could watch it a billion times and still cry at the ending. the animation is so cute and perfect for the setting. also Alberto is so sassy & Luca reminds me of my little brother 🥹 this movie definitely was a great one for me!

[@analuciamedeiros4828]

I love the whole "coming out" plot... would love to have watched this move as a pre-teen! the last scene with them letting their colors show and Alberto thanking Luca for getting him out of the island, plus their monster colors that match both the gay and the bisexual flags, so sweet🥺❤️

[@skylarberry3754]

When Luca gets on the train and Alberto cheers for him, I legit sobbed, ugly cried cuz it was so sweet

[@avamai]

i don’t understand how people cant see the queer undertones of this movie lol.

[@ravenmmx4313]

Also all the call me by your name references

[@taylortonkin2258]

Fr 😂, the only possible way they could have made it more obvious is to have Alberto and Luca kiss for crying out loud!

had to rewind 16:40 multiple times bc i was laughing so hard-- "you the fun police?"

Oh man I cried at the end of this movie. Love this movie

[@Mjolvera05]

Watching this movie Luca in 2021 was whole other vibe!!! Glad y'all are watching it. Amazing channel, and I look forward to seeing your reactions.

[@mrsfahrenheit]

this is SUCH a great film, absolutely amazing. it doesn't matter whether you read it as a queer subtext or as a story about friendship, it's just a beautiful story in general. The soundtrack is one of my favorites from all the pixar films as well to be honest. And this film always makes me want to eat pasta😂❤

[@Starlightclod]

The ending never fails to make me cry, i love this movie so much and I really hope they make a sequel to this. I want to see their relationship explored more because you can’t tell me there isn’t chemistry there! This is very much a coming out story and accepting yourself for who you are and I love that. Especially at the end when the (possibly lesbian) old ladies revealed themselves as also fish ppl. I would love to see Alberto going to visit Luca or Luca coming back to the town and possibly finding out they both have feelings for each other.

[@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF]

yes!! that would make such a cute sequel! really hope disney goes through with it. can't say i trust them to really commit to such an overt queer story, but you never know. i certainly hope they will

[@kseniiazhguleva7870]

If you watch the credits you will see what happened to them next. There are little drawings all over them. It's really wholesome.

[@Khiara]

bruh.. why the ending gotta be so beautiful... has me sobbing for nothingg 😭 i just did my skin care too wahh wahhh

[@videohistory722]

I actually once wrote a Luca/Good Omens crossover where I dropped Aziraphale and Crowley into the Luca universe. I even changed the race to swimming, running and drinking tea! It's called You're My Best Friend, and under ICanSingNoRequiem.

[@dead9071]

my old cat would never sit still but when i watched this movie she sat next to me and watched the whole movie

[@Daytondaily]

The story is a PG gay love story, basically call me by your name for kids. It’s definitely a metaphor for being queer. You can see the old ladies on dates throughout the entire film and see they live together, then at the end of the film they drop their umbrellas to show their “sea monsters” too. Ercole describes them as “disgusting” which is used against queer people and not a natural thing to say about a monster. Multiple scenes are taken directly from other gay love stories. Such a good movie and the perfect use of symbolism.

[@tlahmed]

I never thought about the connection to the older women! Good catch.

Also, there's a mark on Albertos shoulder from where the fisherman hit him with the harpoon.

[@AlexanderWandering]

I don't think Luca was planning on "staying in the closet" at school. He was just going to be himself and know that some will accept him and others won't. The queer vibes are so strong in this movie.

[@noahhirsch593]

I can’t even put to words how much I wanted to see your reaction to this movie! I cry every time when I see scene where Alberto reveals himself to Julia and Luca to be not outed betrays him...

[@evanrosman9226]

Luca is a good movie.

[@amethystb12345]

There is a theory that the reason why Julia freaked out so bad over the Alberto's sea monster look was because he was very similar to Randal from Monsters Inc. & there is another that Bruno from Encanto is Alberto's father; he left with intention to come back but things happened... perhaps the magic from Castita erased his memories of his son.

[@COMALiteJ]

Alberto’s father is almost certainly _not_ named Bruno. _Silenzio, Bruno!_ is a real thing that Italian boys said back in the 1950s-60s to silence fears, and Enrico Casarosa used that in the movie. Also, _Encanto_ isn’t Pixar, but purely Disney, and I doubt he’d do a creative property crossover connection with a non-Pixar property. The reason Giulia (correct Italian spelling of her name) freaked out over Alberto’s transformation was because he was _trying_ to freak her out. He deliberately made himself look menacing (note how his tail circled around her face). He was trying to prove a point to Luca that even their friend Giulia wouldn’t accept them as seamonsters and would fear them. It took Giulia a minute or so to realize from Luca’s reaction that he was a seamonster as well, and after returning to her Papè’s home she confronted him while he was rambling about still trying to win the race as a team, and splashed him, exposing him. She already realized by then that seamonsters were just people from the sea who look human on land, not monsters who eat people or wreck ships or anything like that.

[@amethystb12345]

@COMALiteJ yo calm your tits like I said it was just a theory not something to get twisted 🥨 over
