Disney and Pixar’s upcoming film LUCA, will be streaming on Disney+ on June 18! This animated film is set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera. Luca is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.
