Pixar’s Luca Pre-release discussion

[Dr.Pepper]

Hers the first trailer for Luca. I’m enjoying the warm colors and character designs that look distinct from other Pixar movies.

If there is another thread for this, please lock and/or merge.

This looks really nice!

Luca is still coming out June 18, but it's on Disney Plus. There's no Premiere Access cost, so anyone with Disney Plus can watch it for free. Internationally, it will still have theatrical releases.

Great news for people like me with Disney+, but it still makes me sad to think that Disney may one day forgo theaters permanently in the U.S.

So is Pixar just going to be the direct to streaming studio? Good going, Disney.

That is NOT true! I've heard recently that people are willing to go out to the movie theatres, especially now that theatres in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City have reopened. It's just that for now, said theatres are at a limited capacity, because we are still in a freaking pandemic! Besides, like Soul, they are offering Luca on Disney+ as a summer holiday gift. When we are out of this situation, studios like Disney are going to really need theatres again to earn money in addition to making money off of content for their streaming platforms.

Pixar is one of their core brands, so I really doubt that they'll ever do that.

Seems to be a choice made for Pixar films. That they are just released straight to plus, with no extra cost. Not complaining.

 

[RandomMe]

Is there a way to get a possible theatrical release in countries where chains are reopening/stabilizing?

Here's the trailer for Luca.

Looks like they're treating the film as a "Disney+ Original" rather than a "streaming exclusive". Thank goodness!

I don't know, kind of feeling lukewarm about this. Looks like an animated version of "Stand By Me", another coming of age picture by Pixar (similar to "Onward" in that respect). I suspect it will have its share of cringeworthy sentimental moments.

But it does look funny as well. And I like the animation style.

So we'll just have to wait and see.
