• The film is dedicated to the memory of the legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone (1928-2020).
• The phrase “Piacere Girolamo Trombetta!” is a popular pun that, according to the director, was popular among children in the Ligurian town where he grew up. The first word, “piacere,” translates as “nice to meet you.” The remaining words sound like a name and surname, but in reality, the “name” Girolamo is slightly similar to giro la mano (which means “I twist your arm”), while the “surname” Trombetta means “trumpet.”
• Director Enrico Casarosa drew inspiration from the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Initially, the protagonist was to be given the surname Portorosso (a reference to the anime "Porco Rosso"), but ultimately he was given a different surname, and Portorosso became the name of the town.
• The town of Portorosso appears on advertising posters in the window of a travel agency in Pixar’s previous project, "Soul" (Pete Docter, Kemp Powers, 2020).
• Explaining why he gave the film that title, Enrico Casarosa said that “such a name also sounds good in America”.
• At the end of the credits, there is an inscription stating that the film was created “in the bay area while we were all in slippers.” This is a reference to the coronavirus pandemic and the fact that "Luca" was the first film created at home.
• Uncle Ugo was deliberately made as frightening as possible in the style of Disney films, so that Luca would be afraid to live with him. According to the director, this character is based on creatures from his nightmares.
• Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Jack Dylan Grazer recorded his vocal parts at home – in a closet, where the acoustics turned out to be the best.
