First of all, I like the beginning of the animation the most, which is the foreshadowing part before he actually embarks on the treasure hunt. Whether it's his mother who is half-conscious during the day and very energetic at night, or his art of making origami joints in a small village, all of them are full of appetite, very novel and attractive. But the main part of the story is a bit traditional and lacks new ideas. This is the story of a hero's son who, after the hero's death, slowly turned into a new generation of heroes on the thorns of life. The little protagonist goes through many obstacles to retrieve his father's three things (helmet, armor, sword), and then defeats the big boss (his grandfather). Isn't the whole play designed ingeniously? On the treasure hunt, he lost his mother's protection, and suddenly a monkey turned into his mother appeared to take care of him. He had no direction in the treasure hunt, and suddenly a little paper man in the image of his father appeared. lead the way. Are these designs a little rough? I wish the monkeys and the beetles had other identities and could bring out other stories than parents who never die. Under the protection of his parents, his own heroic image was not well established. Haripoli was also protected by his parents, but mostly by his own courage and perseverance. That's why he becomes the protagonist, he has his own character.
Overall, I think all the origami parts of this animation are great and look good. The plot is a little traditional, but it is also very imitative. I think if we were to write a similar movie, we could write it.
