The burden of turning an agent into a pigeon has brought a lot of hilarious jokes to "Turn into an agent". The idea of ​​love and dream is also positively oriented. However, the plot of the movie just follows the old routine of the agent film. It is quite well-formed, and seems to have been developed at a similar and too young age, making the film look particularly thin as a whole, and it is difficult to give people much truly unbelievable surprises.

After "Ice Age", Blue Sky Studio has actually been unable to produce works comparable to its predecessors. The same is true for "Transfiguration Agents". Although the film has impeccable animation production, it lacks a way to make people look forward to it. Yiliang’s freshness, the movie story is based on a super agent Lance. The villain copied Lance’s face and made Lance wronged. In order to hide Lance, he drank the potion of the young scientist Walter and turned it into a pigeon. , A combination of one person and one pigeon. While helping Reims to wash away his grievances, they also want to save the world together.

In the process of saving the world, the film also used this to brew two positive energy cores, dream and fraternity. As a young scientist, Walter invented many things that seemed dispensable and were mocked. However, it was these props that successfully resolved the danger in the end, and it was also in Walter's body. His good-natured nature made him hope to achieve victory in a bloodless way, and even at the end he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the enemy. The construction of the two cores of dream and fraternity along with the adventure unfolds is indeed of positive educational significance for children.

Although the core of the movie is not lacking in meaning, the movie is not really a masterpiece for all ages. From the combination of strengths and weaknesses to the relationship between the characters, from the adventures of injustice to the confrontation between the good and the evil, the plot trend of the whole movie gives people a kind of strangeness. A similar feeling. Looking at the plot of the movie, except for the agent Lance, voiced by Will Smith, turned into a pigeon, and the film used the contrast between humans and pigeons to create a certain amount of jokes, there was hardly any freshness at all, even There are still a lot of waste dramas that are unnecessary to make up for the burden. Such a patchwork of stories makes people lose interest in the plot of the movie more than half of the time.

The reason for this problem is not only the lack of imagination and the low age of positioning, but also the lack of real and effective characterization in the film. In "Transfiguration Agent", whether it is the arrogant agent Lance, the kind inventor Walter, or the film's The image of the villain, the impression of all the characters in the movie is flat. With the advancement of the plot, although the two partners as the protagonists have also grown, they basically cannot see the bright spots that can be called the arc of the characters. All that is blunt preaching and sensationalism, this defect also makes the film lose the possibility of seductive empathy on the character level.

"Transfiguration Agent" shows the consistent level of Blue Sky Studio in production. However, today's Blue Sky Studio has also lost the ability to bring the audience into a humorous place in "Ice Age", and the mediocrity of the film. Even if you have the point of view of transformation, it is not enough to cover up the lack of movie routines.
