Luca is the closest Pixar has gotten to making a Studio Ghibli film. It’s not particularly in the visuals, though there are plenty of similarities the characters look like they’d be comfortable strolling through
Kiki’s Delivery Service, albeit in a 3D version of it but in the feeling. There’s a warmth, a wistfulness, and a whimsy to
Luca which feels like it draws inspiration from any Hayao Miyazaki film. And, from the 30 minutes of footage that I saw in an early press day for

Monster Rancher (1997)
What are you catching? CDs… or maybe the monsters that live inside CDs? (Or “Mystery Discs,” as they’re termed in the game’s mythology.) Either way, you get new collectible creatures in Tecmo’s
