Hero Overview

Mother of Pearl.
~ Luca's catchphrase.

Luca Paguro is the titular main protagonist of the Disney and Pixar 2021 animated feature film Luca, and the overarching protagonist of its short film, Ciao Alberto.

He is a sea monster who goes to the surface with his friend, Alberto Scorfano. He tries to win a race in Portorosso, and island town/city in Italy with help of Alberto and Giulia Marcovaldo. He's the son of Daniela and Lorenzo Paguro, grandson of his grandmother, and nephew of Ugo.

He is voiced by Jacob Tremblay, who portrays Blue Winslow in The Smurfs 2 and Auggie Pullman in Wonder, and voices Robin in the adult animated TV series Harley Quinn and Flounder in the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

Personality[]

Luca is a nice, shy and timid boy, unlike Alberto, who is a daring young boy. He is constantly told to not go to the surface, but after finding some “land monster” stuff in the ocean, he gets curious and goes to the surface.

Throughout the movie, Luca gets used to human life, and becomes more curious not just only about human life, but what is on the surface as Alberto shows him his collection of human items he found. Alberto was able to teaches Luca to ignore his doubts and to leave his comfort zone, this led him to get the skill of being able to ride a bicycle in order to compete in the Portorosso Cup. He also becomes more brave and wiser instead of nervous and being the "good kid" by the end of film.

Biography[]

He was born as a sea monster to strict parents, under water, obviously.

He was first seen rounding up his fish (which are used as sheep) up and going around his neighborhood, and his neighbors are getting a bit annoyed, as they make it clear he’s done this before. As he is headed over to the little circle ranch, he sees “land monster” stuff around there, that Alberto knocked down from a ship. He heads to the surface and becomes a human.

When Luca is asked for the ball, he kicks a ball. As a result, the ball hits Ercole’s Vespa. He met Giulia and trained for a bike race. Luca and Giulia started to share a bond in learning and Giulia tells him about school, which sparks his interest, which causes Alberto to become jealous. When Alberto's jealousy reaches to a point where he intentionally reveals his true form to Giulia to prove that that they can't go to school because they're sea monsters, Luca, unwilling to give himself up, feign surprise, which causes Alberto to go back to his hideout out of heartbreak.

Luca felt remorseful and makes it up to him by winning the Vespa. He defeated Ercole and went to school with Giulia.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • He can turn into a human (“land monster as they sometimes call humans”) when he’s dry.
  • He can swim really well in his sea monster form.

Trivia[]
