Luca Looks So Fun!

Pixar

Pixar's next film, Luca, is the story of one boy's incredible, fun-filled summer, and the astounding secret he and his family are hiding. 

Here's the official synopsis from Pixar:

Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.

Luca arrives in theaters in June 2021.

There are many delicious sounding treats aboard the Disney Cruise ships as well as on Castaway Cay. Someday, I hope to have the chance to sample a few of them. Until then, I'll just have to try making them at home. I think I'll start with this recipe for the Island Navigator.
