Since I have always been a huge fan of Pixar, of course, I was really eager to check this movie. To be honest, I was rather surprised that this movie would be directly available for free on Disney+ (something that actually pissed off many Pixar employees) but I certainly jumped on the occasion to watch it only a few days after its release date. Well, as usual with Pixar, the damned thing was just so gorgeous to look at and, especially during this pandemic during which many of us spent hours even days cloistered in our homes, it was really neat to spend some time in such a cute Italian village from the 50โs/60โs. Then, at the centre of this tale, you had this beautiful friendship between these 2 boys who were basically lonely and it was just really neat and relatable to see them having so much harmless fun during some kind of summer holiday. Seriously, it was probably the most beautiful relationship delivered by Pixar since the love story in โUpโ involving Carl Fredricksen and his wife. So, it was really closed to be another home run for Pixar and, yet, something was still missing though. Eventually, in my opinion, the only thing that really prevented the damned thing from maybe being a masterpiece was the fact that these boys were some sea-monsters. Itโs not that this aspect of the story really bothered me, itโs just that, in my opinion, it didnโt add anything really interesting to this really sweet bromance. Sure, it probably made the whole thing more appealing for the young kids but Iโm more used to get this kind of gimmicks from Disney and not from Pixar. Anyway, to conclude, it was still a beautiful tale and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
