Luca

Luca is a 2021 American film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. This film is known as one of the best animations of the year. Definitely, you can find more about it by googling it.

I had a lot of fun watching this and would strongly advise you to do so because you can review some concepts like friendship, following your dreams, courage, attempting to achieve a goal, sacrifice, and others like these while watching a high-quality animation full of attractive landscapes with stunning details, special design of faces as well as shading and attention to the native architecture of Italy.

However, the fact that I wish to share my unfamiliar word list with their definitions is what motivates me to write this post. So, if you opt to watch it in its original language, without subtitles or with English subtitles, you may use this list to quickly figure out what the phrases imply.
