One movie, three stories

Pet 2 doesn't feel as good as Pet 1 as a whole.

Especially after watching the movie, you will feel that there are three stories told in the movie, and none of the three stories are full.

The main line of the story is Mike's growth, and the two sub-line plots are Qiuqiu retrieving the little bee toy ball that Mike entrusted to her, rabbit Xiaobai and Daisy saving the circus tiger.

The latter two sub-lines can be completely independent to make a sequel, which has almost nothing to do with Mike's growth story.

Mike returned to the city, recalled the teaching of Uncle Lu on the farm, and bravely overcome difficulties. He volunteered to fight the four wolves, and then he was beaten and fled.

It seems that through this plot, Mike and the third story of Little White Daisy saving the tiger are linked, but it is particularly abrupt. It feels like a forced connection.

After the exciting and exciting train chase scene, the film ends with Mike's growth, who can escort the host's children regardless of obstacles on the road.

After watching the movie, I was stunned. Why did the director and screenwriter put in three stories? It is enough to tell one story well.

I remember that "Despicable Me 3" before Lighting Entertainment was also a two-line plot. Gru got married and had children. After the minions were completely reduced to the sidelines, they couldn't take care of both ends of the whole movie, and the minions had to be forcibly merged. to the end of the story.

If the steps are too large, the plot will easily collapse.
