I finished watching "Lightning Dog" today, and sure enough, I laughed and cried at the end.
I've always wanted to say that Disney's animation has never abandoned her most loyal audiences - children and adults who always have a child's pure heart.
Compared with the adult-style spoof humor that DreamWorks often works, Disney's jokes still stick to the basic style of simplicity and innocence.
After the new millennium, Disney's story began to have a big change from the previous period. The early animations have a strong sense of fairy tales, the stories are simple and straightforward, the nature of most of the characters can be distinguished at a glance, the main clues of the stories are single, and the emotional elements are relatively thin. But the works that follow must also be influenced by the times and an exploration of their own development. Themes, themes, and the main dramatic contradictions have all developed more.
In "Lightning Dog", the theme is still loyalty and return, and the form still insists on wandering and adventure. Such themes and forms can be seen everywhere in Disney's animations. In Finding Nemo, loyalty and return are shown in the clownfish father Marin to his son Nemo, while adventure and wandering are swimming from the deep sea to the shallow sea and need to find Nemo. Mo's whole process. Similarly, in the "Toy Story" trilogy, loyalty and return, wandering and adventure are more vividly spilled out.
There is nothing simpler but more moving than emotional following and steadfastness in the process.
In terms of character prototypes, there are all kinds of characters in Disney animation stories. Generally speaking, especially the supporting characters, there is always a little bit of neurosis. However, this kind of neuroticism not only adds to the interest of the story, but also makes the characters full and humanized, and more importantly, reveals a free and easy attitude to enjoy life.
The flamboyant little hamster in "Lightning Dog" is a small black cat with a calm and sophisticated look. The big-eyed boy of "Monsters, Inc.", and the nagging amnesia robot in "Silver Island". A variety of interesting supporting roles abound in Disney animation.
Such characters often exude a kind of candid and true personality charm. Under the premise of not affecting the development of the stock market and leading the protagonist to complete the main storyline, it gives people a full sense of life. Just holding up these characters and laughing and laughing in ordinary days, it is interesting to live. And their participation in the protagonist's "plan" is not forced by such heavy and hypocritical words as responsibility and obligation, as if they did so only because "you are my friend and I should accompany you". Then, with a relaxed and happy attitude towards life, a group of people made fun of hardships, and happily faced life in the process of traveling.
There is little sense of tragedy in the background of the story. Compared with the fatalistic and tragic nature of Japanese animation, Disney's story background rarely involves personal grudges or heroic mission-oriented plots. It was more of a misunderstanding and an accidental accident, which caused some minor troubles.
The background of the story of "Lightning Dog" is a careless accident, which makes Potter embark on the journey of return. This background setting is not abrupt but it can not help but make people worry. Fortunately, the picture is fresh, the background music is cheerful, and the journey is full of laughter from beginning to end. At least let the viewers not feel that Xiao Xiao hopes and Xiao Xiao believes that they are fine.
On the main line of love, Disney is keen on "friendship", but the friendship here is a little more than friendship, that is, with family. Therefore, because of a family, the boundaries between friendship and affection are blurred, and there is no blood relationship, but because of our company all the way, we are a family.
This kind of tragic and hypocritical definition restraint without losing one's self and without sacrifice. Friends are synonymous with happiness and loyalty.
Even if you go through hardships and dangers along the way, you can face it together like an idiot without thinking about the outcome. It is like living in the present moment. Living in the present moment, you will have less worries and no need to think. Thinking with your head will never feel like you want to set a standard to get a concept. They don't think about what their friends should do, they just know because "I think I'm your friend, so run together, eat the leftovers in the trash, and hitch a ride to Hollywood together."
Relax, feel at ease, don't think too much, everything is free and easy from the heart.
Don't think about it, but this is friendship. Then I discovered that I unknowingly got used to each other and accompany each other, and thus became a family. This is not love, nor is it a kind of bondage, this is a friendship that seems to be loose due to tacit understanding, but is extremely strong.
It is worth mentioning that most American animated films like to make a fuss about friendship. "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Flying Home" are still popular animated films, all of which are stories about friendship and difficult materials under the light and cheerful theme. This can also reveal the attitude and thinking of life of Westerners.
Different from Orientals, they are more casual in the generation of emotions, and they don't care about the responsibilities behind so many emotions. Most of them are a simple attitude of freely following the heart.
So they have no heavy mission, no tragic conflict of fate.
It's that simple, "we're in trouble, let's solve it together".
That's why I like Western animated films, and I prefer Disney animated films.
They wisely chose the vision of ordinary people, the life of ordinary people, and the little twists and turns of ordinary people, and the difference is that they gave us the simplicity that we can only see in children. adult courage. So looking at it, I don't always feel that it arouses our yearning for children's pure hearts and simple emotions.
So every time I watch a movie, I wash my mind. However, we cry, not because we are sad, but because we are moved and happy.
