LUCA
Watchable. An American cartoon with the action set in Italy of mid-twenty-century. Nostalgia after the country of someone's ancestors? Italian banter, songs, culture, e.g. boys dreaming of a Vespa, a pasta devouring competition. It's sometimes tongue-in-cheek, e.g. they exclaim: "Santa mozzarella!" or "Santa ricotta!" It's a Disney animation so you can admire wonderfully translucent sea waters. Story-wise though, two boys who happen to be sea monsters - as a representation of nerds - after a series of muck-ups, end up making friends with others - obligatory for the genre - but also learn a lesson on how different people may react to "others". The story continues in the pictures in the end credits which, in turn, are followed by an amusing post-credit with Uncle Ugo. Sacha Baron Cohen dubs Uncle Ugo in the original. In Poland however, it's only dubbed in Polish.
