Childhood friendships often set the course of who we want to become and it is those bonds that are at the heart of our story in \u2018Luca\u2019. So in addition to the beauty and charm of the Italian seaside, our film will feature an unforgettable summer adventure that will fundamentally change Luca.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pixar has developed a reputation for putting out fantastic animated films for all ages, and one of their fairly recent ones, <strong><em>Coco<\/em><\/strong>, was successful with just about every demographic. <em>Luca<\/em> appears to be in the same vein as <em>Coco<\/em> in terms of a young boy finding himself on an adventure in addition to both films taking place in a country that isn\u2019t our own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Luca<\/em>, directed by Enrico Casarosa, is slated to release in theaters on <strong>June 18, 2021<\/strong>. Unfortunately, the voice cast hasn&#8217;t been announced just yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/film\/news\/pixar-movie-luca-1234720844\/\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n&#8220;Luca,&#8221; Pixar&#8217;s next film after &#8220;Soul,&#8221; is an adventure set in Italy that will focus on a young boy.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=27741\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Pixar Announces New Animated Film &#8220;Luca&#8221;&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,813,6,9],"tags":[2266,3531,3533,3532,542],"class_list":["post-27741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cartoons","category-entertainment","category-film-tv","category-movies","tag-animated-movie","tag-coco","tag-enrico-casarosa","tag-luca","tag-pixar","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pixar Announces New Animated Film &quot;Luca&quot; - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=27741\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pixar Announces New Animated Film &quot;Luca&quot; - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&quot;Luca,&quot; Pixar&#039;s next film after &quot;Soul,&quot; is an adventure set in Italy that will focus on a young boy.
