'Luca' proves Disney's Pixar wasn't brave enough to fully commit to its first queer animated film
Pixar's charming new movie "Luca" breezes through gorgeous animation and a quaint story twin with a quietly strong message — one of acceptance that speaks to a lot of lgbtq+ people.
While the implications of queerness are there, particularly in the friendship between Luca and Alberto, it's disappointing that Disney's Pixar wasn't brave enough to fully commit to its first queer animated tale.
Alberto and Luca's relationship is laced with gay subtext
Luca is immediately taken by the free-spirited Alberto when he meets a fellow sea monster off the coast of Portorosso.
They're casually physical with each other, sleeping side by side under a star-filled sky, wrapping their arms around each other's waists, and watching the sunset together.

According to him, this coming-of-age story takes place in a “pre-puberty world.” The Call Me by Your Name-esque elements, he says, were based instead on his own experiences growing up with a childhood comrade in Genoa.
