Pixar’s Ciao Alberto Trailer Previews New Disney+ Short Film

Disney+ has released the official Ciao Alberto trailer for Pixar’s upcoming animated short film, which serves as a follow-up to this year’s acclaimed coming-of-age comedy Luca.

The video, which you can check out below along with the poster, teases Alberto’s new life in Portorosso as he tries to make Massimo proud by becoming his perfect employee. The original short will be available for streaming on November 12 as part of the Disney+ Day celebration.

Ciao Alberto is directed by McKenna Harris and produced by Matt DeMartini. It features the return of Jack Dylan Grazer as he reprises the role of Alberto Scorfano, the free-spirited teenage sea monster.

“With his best friend Luca away at school, Alberto is enjoying his new life in Portorosso working alongside Massimo—the imposing, tattooed, one-armed fisherman of few words—who’s quite possibly the coolest human in the entire world as far as Alberto is concerned. He wants more than anything to impress his mentor, but it’s easier said than done,” reads the synopsis.

Luca was directed by Pixar mainstay Enrico Casarosa from a screenplay written by Jesse Andrews and Mike Jones. It tells a fun and heartwarming story about friendship and stepping out of your comfort zone with two teenage sea monsters who experience a life-changing summer.

The voice cast included Jacob Tremblay, Jack Dylan Grazer, Emma Berman, Maya Rudolph, Marco Barricelli, and Jim Gaffigan along with Sandy Martin, Saverio Raimondo, Marina Massironi, and Giacomo Gianniotti.
