The teaser trailer for Luca was released today (Feb 25) and simply put, this film looks like a ton of fun, and wow, is it gorgeous.
This is a brilliant teaser because it sets up the premise right away — we understand the hidden secret these characters have and the reason they need to, well, stay out of (hot) water. The only thing we don't know yet is a little more about the title character and his story, but that will come in the full trailer — for now, enjoy the adventure, the beauty, and the laughs.
You can watch the trailer embedded below or directly on Pixar's YouTube. Then be sure to join us tonight as we discuss and break down the trailer for Luca LIVE (details below).
