Pixar’s summertime story of friendship, Luca, made its world premiere streaming June 18 on Disney+ and has been delighting fans ever since. The great news is that only a month and a half later you can bring home the film on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on August 3, 2021.
With Pixar’s films, we always look forward to the physical releases to ensure we can watch it in the best available quality — and, because we’re collectors! We’re also excited to dive into all the special features — including two deleted scenes that have alternate openings.
While the list of special features contains a good number of deleted scenes, we would have loved to have seen more details on the film’s production — especially with the unique nature in which this film was created (being created remotely in artist’s homes).
