Grazer's recent Disney and Pixar film that dropped on Disney+ last month, has many fans comparing the storyline to being reminiscent of an LGBTQ coming-of-age tale. The film follows Luca (Jacob Tremblay) and Alberto (played by Grazer) who are shape-shifting sea monsters who become human on dry land. The pair yearns to explore the human world of Portorosso, Italy, together and hope of obtaining a Vespa.
