8 Easter Eggs You May Have Missed In Pixar's Luca

Summer wouldn't be complete without "Luca," a new Disney Pixar film. It follows Luca, who is a monster disguised as a human, and his new friend Alberto, who is also a sea monster. The two monsters make the decision to flee and tour the world. The film is set in Liguria and features a lovely representation of Italian culture.
Disney films are famed for their "hidden Mickeys". Enrico Casarosa, the film's director, has revealed that Luca is full of luca easter eggs that are "very well hidden,". But maybe it is not discreet enough for fans as it is included in this list.

Pixar's Toy Story included Pizza Planet for the first time. Since then, the diner has appeared in a number of more Pixar films. In most movies, it's the delivery truck that makes an appearance.
Luca does not have the same type of vehicle as the newer Pixar films because it is set decades before they were made. However, in the streets of Portorosso, the rocketship that serves as the Pizza Planet emblem can be seen on the top of the truck.

#2 The Luxo Ball

Luxo Jr. is the Pixar mascot, squishing the "I" in Pixar at the beginning of every Pixar film. The original Luxo ball may be seen on a rooftop as Luca is overtaking other racers during the Portorosso Cup, and it is a frequently appearing Easter egg in Pixar movies.

Guilia leads Luca to a vast realm beyond the sea—and even beyond the planet itself. After Giulia shows him Saturn via a telescope, he gets interested in astronomy. She mentions that "Old Man Bernardi" owns the telescope. It's a reference to Chris Bernardi. Bernardi has been a Pixar employee since 2003. He's worked on films including Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3, and Inside Out as an animator and visual effects artist. Bernardi also served as Luca's visual effects supervisor.

There are a number of movie posters with marine themes outside the cinema in Portorosso. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is seen on one of the posters. Disney adapted it for the film after it was first published as a novel. It first aired on television in 1954, which fits well in with Luca's 1950s aesthetic.

The number A113 is another long-standing Easter egg that has featured in numerous Disney and Pixar films.

Alberto offers Luca a rail ticket that says "A113" towards the end of the movie.
