"Penguins of Madagascar" is fun

Every time I watch a Hollywood animated film, I can deeply appreciate the gap between domestic cartoons and others. Although the "Penguins of Madagascar" that is currently being released is not yet considered the best animated film in Hollywood (it is still a long way from classic animation blockbusters such as "Madagascar", "Ice Age", "Kung Fu Panda", "The Lion King" and "Shrek") ), but it is also enough to throw our current domestic animated films a dozen feet away (or even further). This is not an exaggeration.
From the point of view of story design, "Penguins of Madagascar" still takes the path of secret agents, which is very similar to many Hollywood blockbusters. The director only uses cartoons to show it. Four super invincible penguins, acting together, it is really a constant laughter. . . Hollywood animation always has some super cute and cute characters. And this seemingly inconspicuous small role often plays a key role in the end. This concept emphasizes the spirit of teamwork, and does not despise any small role, which is much better than our domestic cartoons. . .
It has been said that adults who can appreciate classic cartoons tend to have higher emotional intelligence. (For this, I agree with both hands.) Personally, I think that classic cartoons are spiritual enjoyment for all ages. Many of us have a misunderstanding that cartoons are only watched by children. Huh, that's a big mistake. The rich fairy tale world shown in classic cartoons is a good inspiration for children's imagination, and it is also a pleasant enjoyment for adults.

But looking at our domestic animated films, I really have the urge to cry. . . Originally the most wonderful animation world (or fairy tale world) should bring children infinite beauty, infinite imagination, and infinite joy, but our domestic animation cannot be separated from the didactic language, deliberate jokes that can no longer be deliberate, no The content of the story is pure and childlike (the child's eyes are dull). After children go to school, they are indoctrinated again (eyes full of sadness). How much imagination and creativity do you expect them to have when they grow up?
Someone once told me that he thought "The Bears" and "Beautiful" were very good, and the reason was that his children watched with great interest. I told him that it was just a children's cartoon, and it was not at the same level as "Crazy Primitives", "Madagascar" and "Ice Age". It was several notches. He still insists that his children are only suitable for watching domestic cartoons, well, they are speechless, some good things are really not everyone can appreciate. . . . . .
