I combined some of it into one picture so it will fit all in this post.
1. Luca’s grandmother is a part of the ice cream enthusiast gang now with the lesbian grannies.
2. Alberto might have became a lifeguard now. Protecting kids from drowning when they were swimming in the sea. A fitting job for him, the best swimmer.
3. Luca’s first experience watching movie in cinema. I wonder what movie they were watching to make Luca looked so scared while Giulia was having the best time of her life.
4. Luca being brave enough to come out as sea people to his classmates + and even feeling comfortable to pose for Giulia’s mother painting (she is a painter!! ) as his true self.
5. Luca’s parents just adopting kids on the street left and right to play with them. Also they brought the statue stone that Luca’s made to fool them to the surface and replace the scary statue of people hunting sea monster with this harmless cute statue.
6. Alberto takes the turtle to live with him and Massimo. The cat was about to throw hands because he was eating from his bowl lmao
7. I bet that the cat didn’t like the turtle at first but soon enough warming up and becomes best buddy. They name the turtle Caligola and the grumpy cat name is Machiavelli. + Alberto brought the vinyl player over and it seems like Machiavelli is getting attached easily to this machine lol
8. Luca finally got to use bigger telescope to see the stars.
9. Luca being a precious nerd that got so excited at the sight of so many thick books.
10. I bet the dog likes Luca immediately in their first meeting, also now I understand why Giulia was dressing like that, she is copying her mom style lol + Luca and Giulia sending letters from Genova to Portorosso.
I love Luca credit arts so much because they show the progress of Luca and Alberto relationship after the movie end. Like Luca keeping his promise to write letters and we also could see how happy Alberto is living with both Luca’s and Giulia’s families.
I clean it up a bit. Just to appreciate it Even more.
1. Luca Writing letter to Alberto with “Caro Alberto ( Dear Alberto)”
2. Alberto reading the letter from Luca hanging upside down on his bed (he has a bed now ) . This is peak gay “reading letter from your crush” attitude. (Also Machiavelli seems like he didn’t want leave Alberto’s side anymore lol how far they have come from this cat basically being suspicious at him and attacking him any time he got the chance to always staying by his side now).
3. He showed the letter to Luca’s family and even brought Massimo to Luca’s house with that suit lmao
4. Calling each other on the phone while all family listening. Also Luca’s grandmother might know about Alberto’s feeling toward Luca by the way she looked at him.
5. Luca getting the letter back from Alberto and reading it with Giulia’s and her mom
6. Massimo celebrating Alberto’s birthday and giving him knife as the gift He loves his fish son so much. Massimo is the best dad. I am so glad that Alberto got the better dad that will not abandoned him now and I think Alberto is the son that Massimo also secretly wishes he could have. Now they have each other.
7. Doing the same thing even a part. Alberto with his growing enthusiasm to learn about vespa, all those books about “motor” and “velocita” scattered around him ..also Luca has a dog now
8. Luca’s and Giulia’s family together lmao Alberto just sipping the espresso from his tiny little cup while Luca’s mother lost her mind over her husband’s antic (I bet it’s the espresso effect, it’s too much for their fish heart ) Massimo and Alberto days must be so chaotic with luca’s family visiting them so often lol
9. Also The grumpy cat is a dad now with eight kittens (they show how they meet too at the after credit Sketch.)
10. Alberto and Massimo wearing matching pajamas. And I bet this is just Luca’s parents coming to their house without any notice and just make themselves at home cooking breakfast for these two
They really become one big family at the end. This movie is seriously so heartwarming .

They really become one big family at the end. This movie is seriously so heartwarming .
Pixar’s Luca subverts stereotypes and I can prove it
Let’s start off with the obvious example: Massimus.
I mean that man is a coparent who only gets his child for the holidays but is still loving and supporting, and clearly is doing his best.
He’s not the struggling father trying to make ends meet or the mean dad who doesn’t love his daughter. He assumes responsibility and and acts amazingly.
This big “"scary”“ guy is never, for one second, afraid to demonstrate his emotions
He treats his disability with refreshing lightness and makes it clear that it doesn’t make him any less capable than other people.
He’s also never mocked by it, not even by the villain.
Alberto. When he was first presented I got scared. I mean, a boy who was abandoned by his father and now suppresses his emotions? We’ve all seen that.
But just the way his character acted was so consistent. Him being alone for god knows how long, finding someone who truly cared for him and who he truly cared for? And then struggling to let them be their own people because he was just so scared that Luca was gonna abandon him again, just like his father did??
And his fears actually come true, or so he thought. We have to see that the way Alberto saw the situation, it wasn’t Luca betraying him because of the jealousy and possessiveness, or Luca’s need for acceptance. It was Luca confirming what Alberto had suspected all along: he truly wasn’t good enough for his friend.
The struggle to let loved ones live their own lives, while trusting that they won’t abandon us is something Alberto grappled with, and it was beautifully represented.
A struggle he eventually overcomes, which is mainly represented in the train station.
And he overcame it through love and support. He didn’t come to realize the error of his ways by himself. Instead, he had loving people around him (mainly Luca and Massimus) prove time and time again that he mattered.
It’s through love and support that we come to trust other people
Luca. In many ways, he was the typical main character. Innocent, rather clueless about the world but always curious to learn, etc etc
What I like the most about him is that although he went through the typical main character arc, the way that they show him evolving is great. You can actually feel him become more confident and sure of himself as the movie progresses, you can even see him learn to stand up to Alberto, because he could tell the situation was unfair. I enjoyed seeing him "you may have taught me that but that doesn’t mean it’s right, and it doesn’t mean you know better than me now”.
In the beginning there was a bit of a power imbalance between Luca and Alberto, which was only natural because Luca had spent his whole life in the sea, so naturally he needed more help in the beginning
As the story went along and Luca became more and more independent, he struggled with how little space he was given by Alberto
Whatever he said that Alberto didn’t agree with was dismissed, and Alberto refuses to loosen his “grasp” on Luca, something amazingly represented when he refused to let go of the bike
Anyway, he becomes more confident and stands up for what he believes in
May I just say that I think it’s great that Alberto didn’t have any bad intentions when he told Luca about the fish and everything, which only made it more heartbreaking when Luca talks about the stars. I may have cried.
When Luca’s father is shown to be inattentive towards his family, the movie sees that as a flaw that is fixed, not as a wacky funny thing. The father takes responsibility. And as soon as the mother realizes her son is not in danger, she immediately becomes super duper proud of him.
Luca and his friends ✨ (Not to mention with her boyfriends or boyfriend and friend oops ️✨) I don’t know the truth about the movie which is what I want to try the most, the trenette al pesto or Alberto ❤️✨
AAAAAAAaaaaaAAaAAaaaaaah they are so cute, without a doubt a gem of a movie, one of my favorites! ☀️
