When it comes to Hollywood animation, Disney and Pixar are habitually thought of, but this time it was Sony Columbia Pictures who brought a surprise, yes, "The Smurfs: Finding Mysterious Village". The film propaganda, this is a complete CG computer animation, the effect is naturally different from real-life motion capture, the animation effect is still very smooth, the characters' expressions, movements, and dialogue mouths fit very well! The strength of Hollywood animation is technology and mature film industry production process, so the quality of the film is generally very high!
"The Smurfs: Finding Mysterious Village" is first and foremost a children's film, so the plot setting will not be too complicated. It is roughly a battle of wits between the "Elf Four" and Gargamel in order to find the legendary Smurfs village. Fighting story. The color level of the film is very rich, especially when the "Fairy Four" broke into the forbidden forest for the first time. There is also a detail. The names of the characters in the story match the action and personalities very well. Jianjian shows his strength from time to time, stupid is often tricked, smart and knowledgeable, and the characters are very full.
I don't know if it is to meet the needs of Chinese audiences, but there is also a scene where the Smurfs practice Tai Chi together. There is a scene where the Smurfs control the dragonfly, which is easily reminiscent of Cameron's "Avatar" (the film is indeed a milestone in the development of film technology, which promoted the popularization of 3D technology; looking back, "Avatar" The motion capture animation effect of Avatar is not very smooth, but it was very amazing at the time), more or less tribute!
There is a theory in the film industry that children's cartoons are the most profitable, because a child will come with at least one movie ticket, or even six, and there are animation derivatives. Therefore, children's cartoons are the most suitable films for family fun, and "The Smurfs: Finding the Mysterious Village" is no exception. It continues the humorous and light-hearted narrative style of Hollywood children's animations. It is very worth watching together for adults and children!
