I just thought that maybe his dad was a sea monster, was spotted by people and killed without Alberto knowing. He's left thinking his dad abandoned him, but his dad never had a choice, and probably didn't want to leave his son.

My take on Alberto’s father: He was a human (maybe he was only planning a vacation in Portorosso) but fell in love with a sea monster (aka Alberto’s mother) and they had a child (Alberto). But soon after when Alberto was just a baby she died and Alberto’s dad didn’t want to take on the responsibility. He loved his mother, not him. But yet he couldn’t really just leave Alberto on his own yet so he took him to the island to keep him protected from the humans and continued living life as best to his ability. Sometimes coming around to the island to check on Alberto. Maybe his son reminded him too much of his loved one that it was tough for him to see him. Then when Alberto was “old enough” he left. He left to start again somewhere far away. But hey! That’s just a theory. A FILM THEORY!

The biggest hole in this theory is the fact that Alberto collects human things, but has very little knowledge of what they're called and sometimes what they do.

His father was a monster, his mother a human. She rejected his son and husband when Alberto was born and realized they were monsters. His father took him to the tower, showed him the human stuff he knew and tried to raise him, but he left as soon as he could because he was still heartbroken and mad with his son for "ruining everything". Maybe he went after her, maybe he just wanted to run away from this hurting memories. How about that?

Alberto’s father was probably a sea monster in exile or something, perhaps for his interest in humans or something. What is interesting is that for all Alberto’s reckless impulse, the one thing he won’t do is go to Portorosso. For all his recklessness, it’s this line in the sand that stands out as he only crosses it when he’s got someone hanging on his every word and thus someone to not disappoint.

[@pizzahutcaraccident]

I genuinely believe his father was just a bad father who got bored and left. I think the lack of information surrounding him was intentional. Since the story is mostly "through" Lucas's perspective and Alberto was very hesitant to share more information. I think his father is just another sea monster who was very curious about life on land. I do agree with the theory surrounding his mother but I don't personally support this theory. it was fascinating to hear.

[@katelensworld]

Funny story about the name Bruno; So somehow, my brother accidentally picked the wrong confirmation name bc he thought it was just a report, so he picked the name "Bruno" which I thought was a funny name bc the main character in the book I was reading (The Boy In The Stripped Pyjamas) is named Bruno. We're also MCYT fans so the song "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars is funny to us. So to annoy him, I always call him Bruno, and so do my parents. So when we heard "Silencio Bruno" in the movie, we all just cracked up.

I think Alberto's mom died when he was too young to remember, because he never brings her up. He doesn't seem to care that she's gone, almost like he never knew her. I think if she was killed by the hunters, Alberto's father would keep him on the island away from humans for his safety, and maybe lived in the town and just went to the island to visit him. I also like the idea that he didn't leave on purpose, maybe too many people noticed him going to the island and got suspicious, so he couldn't go back in fear of them finding Alberto

that actually makes a lot of sense. It was believed by the civilians of the town that it was dangerous to go near the island because they thought sea monsters lived there. the fact that bruno would be going there so frequently should have made people very suspicious. then if the civilians had continued on their suspicions, alberto would have been discovered and, most likely, killed. Bruno would have to stop visiting him or just leave altogether in order to avoid this from happening. so he's not a bad parent, he is just trying to protect his son.

Given the setting, that could probably be one of many rests of fortifications erected during Middle Ages (when Italy was still a bunch of little independent states waging war against each other all the time, and Liguria in particular, in addition to being one of the four Maritime Republics constantly fighting for the control of the Mediterranean, because of its position had to deal with France too). The actual town of Monterosso even has its own tower (Torre Aurora), although it's on a promontory and not an island. But it is not uncommon to find defensive towers on little islands, like Torre Scola (also in Liguria).

I think this was a pretty fun theory, but in the end is incorrect because we know Alberto's last name is SCORFANO. While there are theories that Alberto is not his real first name (I disagree with those but regardless), I'm guessing Scorfano is because it means scorpionfish. A perfect last name for sea monsters, especially since Luca's last name means hermit crab. I would say it is more likely that his father was a sea monster too but was discovered while racing. I would love to see a follow-up movie that explores his history more, but honestly, Massimo is his father now and that is important to recognize too.

Could be due to the stigma of having a sea monster child. He built the tower away from human civilization after all. I'd imagine even when Bruno _was_ around, he was never the attentive fatherly type. He probably just popped by the tower to check in on Alberto to make sure he was okay, but spent most of the day in Portorosso. So Alberto never got the chance to really _ask_ him about that type of stuff.

[@Simmosity]

Going off of the theory: Portorosso is stated to be based off of Cinque Terre in La Spezia, which is about 135 kilometers from Corsica, a French island. If we go with the same theory that Cars' Bruno is Alberto's father, then it is easy to believe that he could have been born in Corsica, where they are so close to Italian territories while remaining "French". In Corsica, it appears that they speak Italian, Corsican, and Italian, which explains a couple of comments asking about language. I believe that perhaps Alberto's mother died quite early on, but I wouldn't go as far as to believe that she was killed by the people of Portorosso. How my brain theorizes is that Alberto's mom trusted Alberto's father, while still remaining distasteful of humans in general. Alberto's father was different, and she told him that Alberto would have to remain separate from Portorosso. She knew the tales of the island and didn't want her child anywhere near there. After dying (early on again), Alberto's father respected that wish, but now had to raise his son isolated from everyone. He was probably genuinely frightened for Alberto doing things, overly cautious because he never really got to know how sea monsters really worked. Alberto always brushed him off, which led Bruno to believe that sea monsters were just /different/. After however many years, Bruno told Alberto that he was old enough to live on his own (thinking that sea monsters matured differently or something) and then ended up leaving him. Alberto never listened to him anyways. I'd like to think it was always his intention to come back, but the longer he stayed away, the harder it was for him to come back.

[@justan0here603]

Alternative theory; Alberto's mother was kinda crazy and whenever she would go out to the water to do things Alberto's father would tell her not too because she could get killed. Alberto's mother would say " Silenzio bruno" as Bruno was Alberto's father, this would be where Alberto got his catchphrase and when Alberto's mother was killed the police went to the island she came from to search for more sea monsters, and Bruno left with the police to save Alberto

LOL.

[@DeanMMJ]

The backstory of Bruno needed like 5-10 more minutes and this movie would have been probably my favorite Pixar? At least way up there! I have a theory about Albertos father but doesn't especially tie in inside the Pixar theory or the "Moreau and Seine" theory... It's just proper to the movie! Anyway, here's what I was imagining: For me the statue in the centre of the town portrays the begin of the sea monster hunting! It portrays the fight between Bruno and Massimos father, Giulias grandfather and through his victory, he became the greatest sea monster hunter of all time! The reputation faded when Massimo is born with just one arm and could never live up to the expectations of everyone which will lead him to become a fisher but not having the same mindset as his father! Before this happening, sea monster were just a legend... Now the realtionship between Alberto and Bruno. I see Bruno being a very bad father! Being a lets say "very free minded" guy that doesn't pay much attention to his son, maybe he became like this after the dead of Albertos mom! (shoutout to everyone who watched the anime Evangelion) and this created the "Silenzio Bruno!" which Alberto uses when he's insecure because he always got the negative response from his father but by saying this phrase he puts those thoughts away and lives his life! So Bruno rather goes to land and eventually meets Massimos father, even though he didn't intend to find a friend, they eventually became inseperable! (Just like Luca and Giulia in the movie) Until the day Giulias grandfather found out that his new best friend from outer town actually is a sea monster but unlike Massimo and Giulia, he won't be as accepting and kill him like he learned from old legends... (that would also make the viewer think twice with old mindsets of racist people vs our real life society that tries to get rid of racism) So over time Alberto accepted the fact that his father won't come back (maybe he died maybe not) he won't know until he enters Portorosso for the first time with Luca and then sees the mindset of the people and of course the statue that shows his father being killed!!! Oof Throughout the movie Alberto does that suspicous look to Giulia when he sees her and Luca getting along together. So he makes the connections with his father (being betrayed, caught wathever by humans) At the end of the movie (and like we see in the credits) we see that Alberto lives with Massimo now, that would be weird following my theory BUT like in a lot of other stories and in real life and in The legend of korra season 2 episode 3 you know the scene with Tenzin, you're are you no matter what your bloodline tells you, you're unique and can make your own decisions! So Massimo is not like his father since he accepts Alberto the way he is and Alberto sees him as a great father figure!!

[@saucetheleo980]

Maybe the statue in town IS Bruno's mom and dad.. Dad never knew mom was a sea monster, seen her in the rain (now discovering sea monsters) and was the one to kill it. After some time realizing it was his wife, which lead him to heartbreakingly leave Bruno. Leaving with guilt and also protecting Bruno.. "silencio Bruno" came from him calming his son down for missing his mom. Dang that was dark.. sorry..

While going to visit his love, their love has been found out, mom is sent away in shame, dad is captured and/or killed, Alberto only knew dad was going out, and never returned. Alberto finds the island through a story dad tells him when a young man wandering a mystical land crosses paths with a beautiful woman in a castle, and that story is what Alberto has left to start searching for his dad. Ben what you came up with was great. I saw during the end credits of the movie a note saying something to the effect of the story was dreamed about while in their slippers, and if you think of the timing this was happening around the BLM height and COVID, so perhaps the hatred toward sea monsters is an allegory for all people who are “different” and simply Alberto’s dad was killed for being someone different. Bruno could just be a made up name, doesn’t have to be related to anything; although it’s fun when things connect. Thanks for you videos! I watch almost all of them!

PLOT TWIST: the statue is Albertos father killing his wife/Albertos mother! The townspeople tried to kill Albertos mother, the father interrupts them and well "does the job" to still be the towns hero (since he's a fisher in this theory right? So he's like the best fisher/monster hunter or something and he puts his pride in front of anything else) The people from Porto Rosso even created the statue in his honor maybe. And then he couldn't look Alberto in his eyes anymore so he left. Alberto then is so disappointed in his father and so the "Silenzio Bruno!" will be his go to phrase! No one is going to tell Bruno what to do!! Even darker version would be that "Bruno" never knew his "wife" is a sea monster until Alberto is born and then tried to kill his child and his wife. He obviously never got to get Alberto but maybe there was a real fight in the place where the statue has been build oof

I do enjoy the Pixar Theory theories and the theories which make use of the Pixar Theory (like how they are all connected, like this one using Cars to fill in some details). However, I agree that there are many missed opportunities for good theories as they would conflict with the Pixar Theory. It would be fun to have some theories about Pixar movies which stick to just the movie(s) which they are about (e.g. the Toy Story movies, just Luca, just Wall-e, etc), and act like the Pixar Theory isn't real. By continually making theories just focusing on the Pixar Theory, it limits your viewpoint and prevents you from seeing other possible options and other perspectives. There could be so many cool theories that are ignored because of the focus on the Pixar Theory.

I think Luca takes place in 1954 according to 2 movie posters in the town. So the timelines don’t really line up.

[@luthorpendragon8595]

A few things. 1) Seine is pronounced "sen", like what Chihiro's name is changed to in "Spirited Away". 2) The French "c" with the funny tail on the bottom makes it a soft "c", so the car's name would be pronounced "sa-Roule", not "ka-Roule". 3) The story of Alberto's family seems like classic mermaid/selkie stories, where the human man captures the non-human woman and takes her to be his wife, willing or not. Then she either withers away and dies due to depression and missing home, or she is freed somehow and returns to the ocean. Often she has hybrid children with the man that choose to either go with their mother or stay with their father, effectively choosing to either be human or to be the sea creature. It seems that Alberto has chosen to be a sea creature, but lives as a human because of the village of creature hunting humans nearby, and it's possible that his father just couldn't handle the stress of it. He couldn't live underwater, and he couldn't bring his son into town. But there's also the possibility that Alberto's father did mean to return, he went into town, or at least on the mainland, for something, and ended up in an accident that either took him far away or killed him without Alberto knowing. 4) When I watched this movie, I felt it was more a story about two trans kids looking for a place they could be accepted as the are, but approaching it from two different common stories. Alberto's dad "disowns" him because he's trans (a sea creature), and leaves. Lots of trans kids are abandoned by their unaccepting parents. And for Luca, his parents know he's trans and love him, but are afraid of what the outside world (village of humans) would do to him because of it. He gets curious, so they try to send him away with the weird (queer) family member, but he fights back by leaving. As boys, they meet Giulia and her father. Giulia accepts them right away because kids are kids and just like to make friends, and Massimo accepts them at the end because he's a father that's willing to give love to those who need it. Also he only gets to see Giulia during the summer, and she doesn't share his passions, so that must make him sad. Having a son around that would be able to help him, Alberto, would make him happy, so he accepts the little orphan trans boy. Massimo likes Luca to, but understands he wants to go to school like Giulia. Also, Luca has parents. But he's willing to give Luca a place to stay on land if he needs it.

[@creativewriter5363]

My best theory is that his father had a similar mindset to Luca’s mother, but a different execution of punishment. Luca went to the surface, disobeyed his parents, and his punishment was to be sent with his uncle to the bottom of the sea for two seasons as a means to protect him from land monsters. “You know I love you right?” Even when sending him away, she wanted to make sure he knew he was loved regardless of her anger with him. Whereas Alberto only had a father and Disney as a whole is famous for killing the mothers off in self sacrifice. Alberto’s father may have gone through something similar by what happened in Finding Nemo, his mate sacrificing herself to protect their baby. Alberto is super curious and a bit of a daredevil, he may have gotten too close to fishermen and nearly gotten himself hurt in doing so or became too curious about the very creatures that took Alberto’s mother, that his father decided it was survival of the fittest and left him to find out curiosity would kill the cat, but satisfaction brought it back- A family that wants him that just happen to be human and sea creatures alike.

[@silyknow]

The story of Bruno and Alberto’s mom reminds me of a old Irish folktale about a man who steals a sealkie (a woman who can turn into a seal)’s seal skin and she is forced to become his wife, they do fall in love and they have kids.
