60 years of non-stop blue whirlwind
In 1959, Belgian cartoonist Peyo created the Smurfs, which is full of cuteness The animated image of , has set off a blue whirlwind on a global scale, and various animations, comics, and toys have emerged one after another. For Chinese audiences, "The Smurfs", which was broadcast on Chinese TV in 1986, was the first batch of imported cartoons. For the post-80s and even post-70s, this song "The Smurfs" was almost the best childhood animation. The portrayal of happy and free time is also a melody that evokes infinite nostalgic feelings today.
Constantly renovating fried rice and selling "feelings" to earn box office is the current trend in Hollywood. The classic animation "The Smurfs" naturally cannot escape the fate of "restart" and "remake". In 2011, the new version of the Smurfs movie debuted, but the reputation was mixed. On the one hand, it was because the film used the original classic 2D hand-painted style. It was changed to 3D animation, which made some fans be fooled. On the other hand, the plot of the movie mainly tells about the various adventures of the Smurfs traveling through time and space to modern New York. Many classic scenes and characters of the original animation have been ignored, which is even more hurtful. The feelings of old fans, although the 2011 movie version relied on the signboard of resurrecting the classics, the box office is still unsatisfactory, but fans who have seen through the film company's tricks ignore the second movie version in 2013. Being poor means thinking about changes. Sony has now restarted the "Smurfs" animated film again, abandoning the previous style of mixing animation and live action, and getting closer to cartoons in the traditional sense, and all the classic character scenes and bridges have returned, obviously preparing to take it seriously. Really leads everyone to pay tribute to childhood. So how did the film perform?
Blue Diaosi counters the embarrassment of adults
Compared with the previous two movie versions, this "Searching for Mystery Village" has no live actors leaving the country, so it saves a lot of money, which can be invested in animation effects in turn, so it always looks dirty compared to the first two works. The smurfs, the protagonists of this film are full of vigor and radiance, and even the trick-or-treating kittens under the villain Garg Witch look cute, and the overall restoration will be very moving to the old fans of the original.
The story setting of this film also seems quite sincere. As we all know, there is a big bug in the Smurfs animation, that is, there is only one female Smurf in the entire series, Smurfs. There are many doubts about the way of reproduction. And Sister Lan, as the middle of the ten thousand green bushes, no, Wan Lan is a little red in the middle, and naturally she has become the goddess of all Smurfs kneeling and licking, so in other parts, the Smurfs who have distinct personalities and their own characteristics, once encountering Sister Lan At the scene, the Smurfs turned into blue diaosi in seconds, all kinds of flattery and jealousy, which made people surprised. Perhaps in order to meet the needs of these blue diaosi, in this film, under the leadership of Sister Lan, they came to a mysterious village composed of all female Smurfs. In the common struggle against evil forces, the Smurfs of both sexes have established a profound revolutionary friendship, and all the blue diaosi have also embarked on the road to the pinnacle of life.
At first glance, such a story seems to be a bit of a reference to the current issue of marriage and love. If handled properly, this film is likely to become a "children watching the fun, adults watching it like "Zootopia". "The Doorway" is a full-age cartoon, but the quality of the film shows that the previous interpretation is simply that everyone thinks too much. From the dialogue lines to the laughter burden, "Looking for the Mysterious Village" from the beginning to the end is the only target group for young children: the characters are extremely facialized, the lines are naive and simple, the action scenes are firstly chaotic, and the second is "noisy", the only thing worthy of praise The thing is that it may be easier to distract the attention of children, but the rhythm of the film is fast, but the content is too stylized and young. When the judge was watching the movie, most of the parents and parents came to the theater with their children. The children were laughing and laughing, but the adults were embarrassed and frequently held their foreheads.
judge's case
Last year, countless excellent animation works emerged in the world film circle, such as "Zootopia" reflecting the real society, "Kubo and the Two Strings" focusing on the inner growth of teenagers, and the pure and beautiful "Your Name", etc., all of which are showing animation like us. The infinite possibilities of this medium, "animation is not just for children", this golden sentence once only belonged to heavy two-dimensional fans, is now slowly being accepted by the public. But this "The Smurfs: Finding Mysterious Village" seems to have completely abandoned the idea of developing to a higher level, and is content to be a low-level cartoon for children. The judge here gives 3 tokens. For children, this film is interesting and exciting enough. For old fans, this film is a good game of emotional cards, but for the animation market where excellent works are frequently produced, the film The performance can only be regarded as mediocre.
