Luck (2022)

Matt Roush says...

If this animated charmer has the feel of a minor Pixar classic, that could have something to do with the influence of John Lasseter, the executive who left Pixar under a cloud and now runs Skydance Animation. Luck is the story of perpetually hapless Sam (Hadestown’s Eva Noblezada), who stumbles through a portal into the magical Land of Luck, courtesy of a “lucky Scottish black cat” named Bob (Simon Pegg). His wayward lucky penny becomes the catalyst for a boisterous and merrily benign misadventure, where even the “Bad Luck” denizens turn out to be kind of sweet, just unlucky.
