A weeping star symbolizes the revival of the dragon across the sky. In fact, it is not used to symbolize that dragons have lived comfortably on this planet for many years, and as long as the star is not smashed down, they will continue to live comfortably.

Long Dad and Long Ma excitedly guarded their three dragon eggs, and soon there were three small dragons hatched inside, named Lei Ge, Vesselion and Zhuo Geng... Sorry, it should be Li. Bi, Buck and Ale. As we grow older, both my sister and brother are able to help their parents do farm work together, but Ale, who is naturally timid and fearful, is always fearful and accomplish nothing. He will even run around by chickens, and the degree of weakness can be seen. In other words, the chicken on their farm is so arrogant. Is it to challenge the big goose's position in the underworld poultry industry?

Winter is approaching, but because there are waste wood like Ale paddling all year round, the farm's harvest is not good, so we must think of other ways to increase the food reserve. So Long Dad decided to teach Ale to set traps to catch prey, and told his son that as long as he can complete this task, he can leave his paw print on their family's honor roll. It's a pity that even with this kind of work that was originally tenable, Ale can still mess it up in a variety of ways. Facing the little dog-like thing trapped in the trap, Ale couldn't tell whether it was out of fear or compassion that he let the prey he had gotten away. Long Dad, who was greatly disappointed with Ale, decided to personally urge his son to hunt down the prey, but unfortunately was killed in the fierce storm.

After burying Dad Dragon, A Le returned to the farm and found the escaped prey. He blamed this little thing for his father's death, and pursued him all the way. So I started chasing you. If I chased you, I would treat you hehehe. As a result, I was farther and farther away from home, and I hurt myself because of gluttony on the road. Facing the dead end of A Le, the little guy who was almost caught by him upheld the spirit of internationalism and kept sending him food. From the food he gave to A Le repeatedly, it can be seen that although this guy is small, he is also a man who stands at the top of the food chain like Lord Pei. Ale said to the enthusiastic little benefactor that it's kind, that Lao Na is actually a vegetarian. So the little benefactor brought berries, which finally matched Ale's appetite. After eating, of course I have to digest and digest food, so I started chasing you again. If I chased you, I will bring you hehe, this time the little donor led Ale to the tree full of berries. A Le, who was about to feast, was taken aback by a red viper that suddenly jumped out. The key to dealing with this animal is to use two thumbs to pierce his eyes.

The sturdy little benefactor saved A Le's life, and then behaved like a puppy who successfully grabbed the tennis ball and waited for the owner's reward. At this time, an old dinosaur that looked like a tree and had pet hoarding appeared in front of A Le. He told Ale about the complementary symbiotic relationship between dinosaurs and pets. He also tried to name small donors, but his naming styles were all brutal, which did not fit the habit of ordinary people to give pets cute names. In the end, Ale decided to name the little benefactor Dian Dian, thus formally establishing the master-servant relationship between the two. Then they stayed away from the nervous pet hoarder.

The relationship between Ale and Diandian is gradually relaxing. They not only take drugs together, but also invent a new way of playing moles. In the evening, Ale took a little bit to watch the snow, the moon, and the fireflies. He talked about the Manchu Feast from the eight major cuisines. In the darkness, Ale couldn't help thinking of his family. In a sad atmosphere, the two people who could not speak the language exchanged their life experiences with each other. Next, the little bit of suspected werewolf blood began to roar at Yue, and Aleqi was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed.

The next day the two were ready to continue their journey on the road, but the storm struck again. When encountering such extreme weather, A Le couldn't help but think of his father's death, and his heart broke with fright. After the storm, A Le met several pterosaurs who looked very friendly, and the other party also took the initiative to add him as a friend. Alec's father taught his dragon to wobble his tail, and helped the pterosaur split the wood and rescued the little pet trapped inside. Unexpectedly, the little pet was led by the pterosaur to join the super-value lunch as soon as he saw the light, revealing his brutal nature. The pterodactyl, who was still unsatisfied, turned his gaze to Ale's pet again. A Le rose up to resist, and ran all the way with a little bit, and the pterosaurs behind him began to chase you. If I chase you, I will take you hehehe.

In the end, A Le and Dian Dian did not suffer hehe, because there were three Tyrannosaurus rex rescued. Following the "Jurassic World" in the first half of the year, Shorthand once again played the role of a helping red scarf. Seeing that he had a thigh to hold, Ale hoped that the Tyrannosaurus would escort him back to his hometown. In exchange, he was willing to use his pets' sensitive sense of smell to help the Tyrannosaurus cowboys find their lost animals. Ale was inspired by the courage in the next battle of the herd and learned how to roar gracefully.

A Le and the Tyrannosaurus family got along well, and they drove a long way together, and finally it was time to part with each other. At this time, he was not far from his farm, he was close to his hometown and he was full of thoughts about how to help his new friends adapt to life on the farm as soon as possible. At this time, A Le encountered a storm for the third time, and the ferocious pterosaur accompanied the storm. The pterosaur slowly emerging from the clouds is like a shark swimming in the sea with only its dorsal fin exposed. Although he had developed some courage while working with the Tyrannosaurus rex, in the face of the crowded pterosaurs and occupying the air supremacy, A Le quickly fell into the wind, was captured little by little, and he himself was shot off the cliff.

After falling off the cliff, Ale didn't learn peerless martial arts, but only dreamed about his deceased father, in which he strengthened his belief in saving a little bit. After waking up, A Le rushed to blast the pterosaurs and rescued a little bit. On the way home, A Le met a few of his kind. He decided to give him a little bit of freedom and let him return to the people of his tribe, while he returned to the farm alone.

Ale, who had experienced a lot of adventures and gained physical and mental growth, printed his paw print on the honor roll on the outer wall of the granary. Looking at the paw prints of a family of five, people can't help but want to sing a song: "Ah~~Ah~Ah~~Ah~Ah~Five~~~ ring, you have one ring more than the fourth ring~~"

This is a movie with beautiful pictures. Pixar has invested unprecedented technical power for this film, and even used USGS (United States Geological Survey, United States Geological Survey) data to construct the natural landscape of this film. These attempts will have a long-term impact on the improvement of the picture quality of Pixar's animation works in the future. As the director and producer of this film said, this film shows that in terms of vision, there is nothing Pixar can't do, as long as there is a good enough story to inspire them.

But the story of this film does not seem to be worthy of its picture. Rather than saying that the pleasing visual presentation is produced by the staff in order to contrast with the story, it is more of a strategy or compensation method used to make the audience divert the attention of the weak story. The story of this film is somewhat unpleasant at both ends, too old-fashioned and naive for adult audiences, and slightly depressing and heavy-tasting for young audiences. This movie has a similar look and feel to the bad movie "Return to Earth" starring Will Smith and his son a few years ago. The protagonist runs around like a fly without his head, but it is difficult for the audience to enter the character. Those deliberately rendered along the way It was a great difficulty and obstacle, and it failed to bring enough excitement to the audience. A very important reason I think should be the character setting of the protagonist. The audience nowadays has passed the age of heroes who like Gao Daquan, and the protagonist who has obvious advantages and disadvantages like Iron Man makes the audience feel more flesh and blood. However, the audience is not able to accept all the shortcomings of the protagonist of the story. Some shortcomings that are too realistic will cause the audience's resistance, such as timid and panic. The screenwriter may feel that because everyone has this aspect, it is easier to amplify this trait in the protagonist to resonate with the audience. In fact, on the contrary, just because it is common, the audience does not want or need to be reminded by the movie. This personality trait may be acceptable as one of the protagonist's many aspects, but it is difficult to get the audience's approval if it is portrayed as the most important feature of the protagonist. One of the most classic characters of this type should be Shinji Ikura in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", but the producer did not expect the audience to like that kid; but there is also "Return to Earth" mentioned above. Similarly, as the only absolute protagonist, if the audience disagrees with him, the story will hardly be attractive. By the way, when I watched this movie, the more I watched it, the more I felt that the protagonist Ale looked a bit like Will Smith’s son.

In fact, the protagonist of Vivono is not completely unworkable. They are often seen in a type of movie, that is, comedy. Stephen Chow has played many similar roles. This is where the film is stronger than "Return to Earth", at least there are some comedy elements in this film. However, in the grasp of different emotions, the film appears to be a little out of balance. The protagonist in the first half of the film has experienced the pain of losing his father, which casts a haze on the whole story. Such a plot is certainly not impossible, but since it was decided early in the morning that the role of father should be sacrificed, then his role should be reduced. Waiting for the audience to have a certain feeling for this character before killing him is too cruel. It is difficult for the audience to appreciate the next story with a relaxed attitude of just watching a family comedy. The setting of the role of Ale's father always reminds me of "Superman". Superman’s adoptive father also died in an extreme weather, and the cause of the incident was also a pet dog; in addition, Ale’s father became Ale’s spiritual mentor in the form of a soul after his death, which reminds me of "the ghost is not gone." A holographic image of Superman’s father.

This film, like the "Pixel Wars" a few months ago, once again proves how difficult it is to support a complete story with a single brain hole. The brain hole of the film is "if the asteroid misses the dinosaurs, the dinosaurs are not destroyed." This is actually the beginning of a good science fiction film. If the screenwriter really wants to follow along, he can compile a whole different set of chronicles of the earth. But given that this is a movie that is struggling to make money for children, the possible butterfly effect caused by the immortality of the dinosaurs has been suppressed. It is a convenient tool that enables humans and dinosaurs to meet on the same stage while avoiding the collision with the theme of "Jurassic Park".

As mentioned above, the character setting and plot arrangement of the film are not friendly to adult audiences, and it seems ill-considered for young audiences. The scenes like biting off the head of an insect and three pterosaurs fighting for prey are too violent for children; use the two protagonists to take drugs and ecstasy as an important joke in the movie for children. It's not suitable either.

Before Pixar exposed a batch of new film release plans, which is full of various sequels. At that time, a picture appeared in his mind: After Pixar released the big trick of "Secret Agents", it looked around the people who were shocked to their mouths, and said with an awkward expression: "Don't accept it? No objection. If I do, I will go back and cook cold rice.” I hope that this film is just an episode of pure show-off technology released by Pixar after taking advantage of the fame and fortune of "Brain Agents." Restore the level of storytelling.
