    Character Evaluation

    In the animated film "Sing", there is a structural classic in the narrative. First of all, the choreographer and director Garth Jennings adopted a single-line narrative with a closed ending. Although the plot is tortuous and even thrilling, the story always revolves around the main line of the "sing show" and will eventually give the audience a "reunion" style. The happy ending. This is a classic narrative structure that has always been adopted by animated films that include a part of young audiences. It can satisfy the audience's aesthetic taste to the greatest extent, ensure the tension and compactness of the plot, and avoid the distraction of the audience's attention. In a word, the serious themes that are conveyed to the audience with entertaining expressions and classic narrative structures show people the life course of a group of animals' luck and misfortune .

      I still can't figure out why I would roam the galaxy with a towel. The big-brained robot Ma Wen, who is not melancholy enough, is dubbed by Alan, which is really cute.

      071218 Almost every minute of the story is nonsensical and wise, especially the beginning and the end are the strokes of genius. Marvin could be a sarcastic reinvention of 3PO. Because 3PO is a protocol droid that "simulates human emotions", Marvin is GPP (genuine people personality) emphasizing that he is a "real" human being
