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

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.

#4 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Plays At The Theater

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.

#5 A113 Features On The Train Ticket
