Luca

This was our family film yesterday.  And I liked it.  Yes, I would have paid to watch it at the cinema if this was available without the plague being about.

There was a discussion in the house about if this was a 'gay film' or not.  I argue that it is not, but rather is a film where there is a bromance, but there is also friendship between the boys and a girl.  It is unusual for a Disney film in that there is no romance other than that of the parents, but the bromance between the two is just as 'gay' as that between Woody and Buzz, or Maverick and Goose.  

It did bring a tear to the eye of my wife, but she and I are watching the film from a different perspective to our children.

But it was great to watch it as a family together.  Something that is happening less often as the children grow older. 

Great opera in it, and the children did not complain when they listened to it!
