The latest Pixar film, the acclaimed Luca, is coming to Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD next week, and we’ve got an exclusive clip for you from the bonus features.
The title character in the film is a sea monster who is able to transform into a human when he leaves the sea, but figuring out exactly what the sea monster incarnation of Luca would look like was no easy task. Check out the clip above from the Secretly A Sea Monster featurette to see director Enrico Casarosa and other integral members of the Pixar team discuss how they approached bringing Luca to animated, undersea life. One big marching order: “Not creepy!”
The full list of Luca Bonus Features includes:
· Our Italian Inspiration – Experience the joy of discovery as Pixar artists travel to Cinque Terre, Italy, to absorb the beauty and culture of the coastal region which inspired the characters and the quintessential Italian backdrop of Luca.
· Secretly A Sea Monster – Explore the artistry and technical innovation of Luca’s transformation from sea monster to human, and how the theme of transformation is central to the emotional journey of the main characters.
