The first time I watched this cartoon, I turned it off after 10 minutes, because it made me feel old-fashioned style, old-fashioned plot, and dark and dull pictures. A weird movie. The title of this movie seems to be about Santa Claus, Christmas, but after a few minutes of watching I realized that this is not a Santa Claus story. The protagonist of the story is a rich second-generation son-in-law. His father sent him to a remote frozen island to work as a postman in order to train him. When will he be able to return to inherit a huge inheritance after delivering 6,000 letters. After that, the story can be guessed, it is really old-fashioned.
But when I opened it for the second time, I read it without knowing it, and I didn't know what was going on, so I was moved and burst into tears. Feel warm and comforted. I was surprised to find out that this is indeed a Santa Claus story. If the rich second-generation son-in-law is the protagonist, then this is an old and rotten film. If Klaus is the protagonist, then this is a special Santa story. These two are combined into one, and a warm animation has been achieved.
This is a very good cartoon for children to watch.
First, there are many cartoons in the form of animation and their content is not suitable for children to watch, or the theme of a cartoon is suitable for children, but in order to attract attention or win over the adult market, there will be sporadic adultization in it. clips, such as being too violent, playing pornographic edge balls, etc. Several times, parents will ask me if there is any part of a cartoon that is not suitable for children, and if so, they have to give up the whole movie. This movie doesn't have to worry about this at all, there is no cross-border content. And I think this cartoon is very suitable for the family to watch together.
Another reason why it is suitable for children to watch is that its plot is very simple and easy for children to understand.
It tells the story of this rich second generation who came to this wild and frozen island and found that the local people didn't write letters at all, and they were constantly fighting with each other. The whole island was like hell, and the residents inside were like alcoholics. Once upon a time, after a child drew a picture and was put into an envelope by the second generation of rich, it was picked up by an old grandfather far away in the forest. He could see from the picture that the child was lonely, so he gave the child a toy he made by himself. Children who live on isolated islands have never seen a toy and are instantly drawn to it. The rich second generation saw hope, and he guided the children to get toys as long as they wrote letters. So his postal business started, and the one who could make toys was called Claus, who was later Santa Claus.
I've oversimplified the story because I don't want too many spoilers. In fact, there are many touching little details. With the development of the postal service, the toys were delivered to the children, and the frozen island was thawed. The changes in the children led to the adults, who stopped glaring and began to coexist peacefully. The color tone of the film is also gradually changing, from cyan, gray, and black at the beginning to orange, yellow, and red, and watching the film, I have been sucked into the story unknowingly, and I was moved little by little. .
This cartoon with a simple plot is actually not superficial, it can be said that it has a deep connotation. The reason why the island is as terrifying as hell is that there are two ethnic groups living there all year round, and they are feuding. For thousands of years, the two tribes living on the same island have never stopped fighting. They have maintained a state of war readiness for generations. There is no life but fighting. Their children do not need to be literate when they are born. Parents must teach their children first. It's just hatred. You must hate the tribe on the opposite side. You are not allowed to play with their children. When you grow up, you have to kill them.
In today's world, there are places where this cartoon is portrayed. People who live on the same land can go to war because of different races and beliefs. That hatred has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and nothing can resolve it. Even if you don't hate, you don't fight, you betray your clan, and you deserve to die. A child born in such a place seems to have done something wrong before being exiled to this place to be born. He was doomed from birth, he would live in a land filled with gunpowder smoke, and he would live a poor life. He had no toys and could not receive a systematic education. The seeds of hatred took root in his body and dominated his thoughts and behaviors. He grew up to be able to participate in inexplicable wars, and his life was only devoted to killing aliens.
It seems that such people are defending something with national righteousness and reverence for their own gods. But cartoons can easily debunk this lie. The leaders of the two tribes were afraid of reconciliation. In order to prevent people's reconciliation from continuing their hatred, they joined together for the first time. They wanted to work together to drive the rich second-generation postman away. In this way, the island will return to its former darkness, decay, and misery. The leaders of the two tribes can continue their rule over the people and fool people, and the two tribes can solidify their power on this island with hatred.
I don't know if the ancient souls are crying, and whether they need future generations to protect them. I only know that the souls of the living have been torn apart, and they cannot die. Speaking of which, it seems too heavy. So, that's the good thing about animation. The reason animation comforts me is that it can do everything, and it's easy to do everything. Even the hatred of generations can be resolved with toys. Even if tribal leaders unite to interfere, justice will prevail over evil, and wars can be stopped for a very strange reason. At Christmas, every child can get a gift from Santa Claus.
