With the continuous rise of many new studios in recent years, there have also been many brainless and cute animated films sweeping the world like box office harvesters, and more and more people are bad at Pixar.
But in any case, after experiencing such high-quality but unpopular films as "Brave" and "Monsters University", Pixar's "Inside Out" this year finally officially announced the return of the creative king! The glory that belongs to "Inside Out" continues, and the win-win of box office and word-of-mouth directly puts it on the throne of the new animation classic. With Zhuyu in the front, the later "Dinosaur Master" will have a harder time!
To say the biggest problem with "Dinosaurs" is that the story that should carry the amazing creativity was not chosen well. The theme of dinosaurs has been tired of playing, whether it is in the real-life field or in animated movies. Moreover, depending on the special effects and dinosaurs, the height of "Jurassic World" was placed there, and the shortcomings of "Dinosaur Master" were fully exposed.
The living toys, the brave insect army, the superman who suffered a mid-life crisis, and even the mouse that can cook... The protagonists in Pixar animation are not ordinary. There are creative stories to carry, and these creative characters are integrated, can the ace Pixar succeed? But come back to watch "Dinosaur Master", many congenital deficiencies directly judge it as the weak in the Pixar family. Without an amazing story, and without the creative brilliance that the studio gave to the protagonist back then, how could "Dinosaurs" be praised?
Moreover, the publicity and positioning of "Dinosaur Master" is also not well done. Realistic scenes from fake to real should not be the biggest publicity point of this film. The painstaking effort to apply technology to the scene can only be said to bring the icing on the cake to the film. And blindly "showing off" propaganda will only put the cart before the horse. If you want the scene to be real, why not make a live-action movie? The preconceived impression of "superior technology and mediocre story" will only make the audience's critics endless.
Yes, from stories to publicity and selling points, we have seen many shortcomings in "Dinosaurs", but the definition of not telling a good story and not telling a good story is completely different. We must admit that Dinosaurs doesn't tell a good story, but it does tell a whole story seriously. Regarding growth and family affection, it is not novel, but it is not bloody, very touching, but not sensational.
A Luo, who is afraid of fear and always does bad things, lost contact with his family because of an accident. During an unknown adventure, he met the savage child Dian Dian. The two went from mutual suspicion and precaution to getting closer, trusting, and finally. Become inseparable good friends. It's just that this trip home is still inseparable from parting.
about growth. Arlo has grown from a cowardly child to a brave and responsible person. Along the way, sharing weal and woe with the little ones, mutual help with the Tyrannosaurus Rex family, mutual retreat from the enemy, and finally the life-and-death confrontation with the evil pterosaurs, Arlo learned to overcome loneliness, became brave, and his kind nature became more and more prominent. More importantly, Dian Dian taught him to take responsibility, and the sympathy between the two children is touching.
And as a savage child, from the beginning of ignorance and savagery, until getting along with Arlo, he learned to trust and learn to share.
About affection. The relationship between A Luo and his father is not covered too much in the movie, but every scene where father and son are alone can see father's heartfelt trust and support for A Luo. "You will be more powerful than me, I believe in you." Dad's encouragement helped Arlo grow up, even though he had left, the voices of those earnest teachings still drifted in Arlo's ears, helping him finally defeat the lightning And the fear of flood, rescued a little bit.
The process from hatred to acquaintance with Arlo to sharing weal and woe is also full of family warmth. The most impressive picture is of two lonely little boys using tree branches to talk about each other's family experiences. Yes, even after all dangers, we must stay close. We have lost too much, and we can't lose each other again... And the scene of the final parting makes people cry.
In addition to being amazed by the beautiful and fascinated picture, it is the trickle-like expression of emotion. Whether it's the fluorescent flickering of Aluo's father taking him in the firefly pile, or the spectacular sight of Aluo passing through the clouds with a little bit... Many heart-warming pictures are dreamlike and touching under the strong technical support.
Home Of The Dinosaurs isn't a good Pixar movie, but it's a good animated movie. How would you rate it? There are so many scales, whether to choose Pixar or DreamWorks, whether to choose Disney or Blue Sky Studio... These are not important, the process of watching the movie will be happy, and it is enough to get some thoughts and experience after watching it. Pixar's "Five Tigers" always create classics domineeringly, while newcomer Peter Thorne leaves the most pure emotion to the audience. I am not afraid of no successor for such Pixar. Having feelings and daring to try is far more rare than contributing a skilled and perfect story. Creativity will continue to be surpassed, but the touch that goes deep inside will never die. The "Five Tiger Generals" will one day become a thing of the past, and the growth of this studio requires more newcomers to try. Salute to Pixar, to the not-so-perfect Dinosaurs!
