One of the most anticipated summer files is "The Incredibles", and the other is "Hotel Elf 3"
Released at the beginning of the summer, "The Incredibles 2" became the fastest animated film to break 1 billion at the global box office!
I am even more looking forward to this "Hotel Elf 3: Crazy Vacation" , which is also from the six major commercial animation studios in the United States.
So I rushed to the cinema for the first time to find out—
As a result, I met a young couple at the entrance of the movie theater and was hesitating: I haven't seen 1 and 2, can I watch 3?
Maybe many friends have this concern, let's answer it first~ [You can skip it directly for those who have seen 1 and 2]

Basic knowledge supplement
First of all, the plot is completely unrelated , so don't worry, you just need to add a little simple character relationship:
The others are their quirky monster friends.
Dracula is a teasing father, a lover of women, and his wife was harmed by humans. In order to protect his daughter Mephis, he carefully built a "elf hotel" away from the human world and only belonged to monsters, and raised his daughter alone.
The first season tells the interesting love affair between the youngest daughter Mephis and the stray human boy Jonathan.
The second season tells about the wonderful experiences in the process of growing up Mephis and Jonathan marrying and giving birth to baby Dennis.

Drama review: The front is normal and funny, and the ending is unexpected.
[Contains minor spoilers, does not affect the viewing effect]
Why do you say it's normal?
If other animated films are mainly narrative, with occasional funny passages inserted, then "Hotel Elf" is mainly funny, with occasional narration.
"Hotel Elf" is a happy twist in the animation film industry .
Since the first season, it has always maintained a strong comedy color. Every expression and every action is full of drama.
Dracula 's father broke the stereotype of the vampire count as cold and elegant . The other monsters are all kinds of cheap and cute, which attracts laughter from the audience.
The Dracula family in the third season is already a big happy family. After a hundred years of loneliness, Dracula finally raised her daughter, watched her have a happy love, got married and had children. After completing his father's mission, he finally has a heart. The story starts here.
In three parts:
▶ Part 1: Laying out
The short film at the beginning came out of nowhere (a tribute to The Grand Budapest Hotel), introduced new characters, and made people's eyes shine.
The initial part of the feature film was full of laughter , and quickly replaced the usual funny and playful atmosphere of the Elf Hotel.
As expected of the monsters in Hollywood, they keep pace with the times, dating software, planes and cruise ships are not left behind. But what kind of scenarios are monsters using high-tech products?
Fancy and funny scenes are overwhelmed and dazzling. 3D visual effects are also very cool .
▶ Part 2: The story gets to the point
The monsters finally started the crazy holiday, and the two lines unfolded. On one side, the monsters from all walks of life assisted the innocent straight man Dracula to seduce the girl, and on the other side, the conspiracy of the black-bellied heroine unfolded .
A lot of new monsters have been added to this part, and a lot of new funny memes have been added at the same time.
And those normal things: Las Vegas gambling + monsters, singing and dancing + monsters, underwater sneak + monsters... They have produced a wonderful chemical reaction, which is unique .
▶ Part 3: Climax Showdown
Super surprise! Super surprise! ! Super surprise! ! !
Who would have thought that the final showdown would turn out to be a DJ battle? ! ? !
The music burst into the audience, and an audio-visual feast was opened, and the spirit was instantly refreshed.

Overall review
"Hotel Elf" should be the most favorite animated series in the animation film industry! No matter what topic is discussed, it will not let you immerse yourself in an atmosphere of sadness for even a second. And in the playful and funny, it can be consistent with family affection.
"Essence 3" is even more laid out bit by bit, and it took a whole lot of time to convey the theme of "When the loved one is gone, instead of dying alone, it is better to pursue new happiness" .
Compared with "The Incredibles 2", which has been violated for 14 years, "Essence 3" is still slightly inferior: too many funny scenes weaken the progress of the plot, too much playfulness also makes people tired, and the storytelling and theme rendering Slightly younger. However, looking at the entire summer animation file, it is also under one person and over ten thousand people .
Personal Rating: 7.3
Recommended index: ★★★☆
