Sure, the magical, computer-generated world of Pixar creates some fantastic characters. But some Pixar films are more incredible than others. That’s why we’ve assembled all of the animation studio’s movies ranked by their Metascores, so you can make wise choices for your family’s next binge-watching session.
Pixar's second straight feature to debut on Disney+ rather than in theaters, this summer 2021 release is set on the Italian Riviera and depicts an original (albeit Little Mermaid-influenced) story centering on a pair of young sea monsters, voiced by Jacob Tremblay and Jack Dylan Grazer, who seek to learn more about the world beyond the sea. The debut film from director Enrico Casarosa also features the voices of Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan.
“Granted, Luca might not go down as one of the more profound entries in the Pixar catalog. Don’t expect it to make you well up the same way Up or Toy Story 2 did. Still, at a time in which international travel is mostly for the bold, it’s an undeniably pleasant summertime trip.” —Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune
