The director is a fan of Miyazaki Hayao! Pixar's latest "Luca" will be released in the US and Japan simultaneously! Poster & trailer have been released!

The released date of Disney and Pixar's latest film "Luca" has been decided. It will be released on June 18, 2021 in the US and Japan at the same time. The poster visual and trailer have been released as well. "Luca" takes place in a beautiful seaside city in north Italy and it is the latest film of Pixar that depicts the "best summer". In the seaside city, Port Rosso, the main protagonist, Luca enjoys his summer together with his friend. However, Luca has a certain "secret". The truth is he is not a human, once he gets wet, his true identity, a "Sea Monster" that can swim freely in the sea, appears. The humans are scared of the sea monsters that they have never seen before, and the sea monsters are afraid of the humans as well. As the sea monsters are not allowed to be exposed to humans, the "Human City" is actually a "Taboo World" to them. Despite that, because of Luca's curiosity, he broke the law and went to the human city... The poster depicts Luca floating on the clean blue sea while looking up at the summer sky. However, if you look closely at the sea, you will be able to see the "secret", which is the appearance of the sea monster that shouldn't be exposed. The director of this film is Enrico Casarosa, the director of Pixar's short animation "La Luna". Casarosa is known as a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and he tried to produce the art of "La Luna" in watercolor after he found out that the art of "Ponyo" was depicted in the watercolor painting by Miyazaki Hayao. The comments from the director said, "When I was still a child, I met a boy, who live in a different world than me, in summer. So, by using those summer memories, I wanted to create a story about a boy becoming an adult." The film "Luca" will be released on June 18, 2021, in Japan nationwide. (C)2021 Disney/Pixar.

The latest work from Disney "Raya and the Last Dragon", how is Raya going to save the world...? The main trailer for the Japanese dubbed version has been revealed.

From "Raya and the Last Dragon" , a Disney animation and the latest work following "Frozen" and "Moana", the main trailer of the Japanese dubbed version where Yoshikawa Ai as Raya narrates the story, and a poster featuring Raya and her friends, have been revealed. The trailer features Raya being on a journey to look for her "Sister" on her beloved Tuk Tuk, and looking back on her childhood. It is revealed that her father, who warmly tells her 'You are the only and "last hope"', is the reason for her to make every effort to save the kingdom that fell apart, and dearest Sisu, 'the Last Dragon', is revived. Sisu is divinely shining in blue, positive, and full of humor. The other characters that join Raya and Sisu's journey include Noi, who is apparently pretty, but actually is "a baby con artist" that beats Raya, Boun, a "lonely entrepreneur kid" and enthusiastic owner of a boat, and Tong, who looks scary but is a "warrior that is thoughtful about friends". In the trailer, Sisu leaves some impressive words, including "The world was ruined because we could not trust each other" and "As long as we have friends, we can make it. Just move forward". The most important theme of this work is "trust". Sisu's words and smiles of the friends that are changing Raya, who cannot trust others, will make an impression on those today that tend to be "alone". You will feel brighter once you see Sisu smiling and flying in the sky. "Raya and the Last Dragon" will be simultaneously premiered at theatres and 'Disney Premier Access' on March 5. (C)2021 Disney.
