I was a vespa-driver, i have been in venice more than 10 times, we had a house on ischia when i was a child and have been in this country nearly every year - and i eat pasta nearly every 2nd day, oh i LOVE italy (i am an austrian)... and i love Pixar from their early beginning. This should be the perfect conditions to love this movie, BUT it was disappointing. The story is somewhat flat and predictable, so it could have been done by any other animation studio. I loved Onward and Soul, both were great, but this one is just nice, but far away from being one of their best. At one point we switched the language from german to italian with subtitles and then it was much better, so maybe i would have liked it much more when we had done this from the beginning. (though german dubbing is really great, this time it adds so much to the movie if you also hear the italian language. Do this! Even if you hate reading subs!)
