Ciao Alberto
They go together like pasta and pesto.
Directed by Kenna Harris
Produced by Pixar
A warm, visually charming short about a young sea creature's admiration for his gruff mentor, balancing gentle humor with the bittersweet reality of growing up and moving on.
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.
