This CG show probably started in 2011. "The Adventures of Tintin" and "The Smurfs" were adapted into CG animation blockbusters for the first time. However, one of these two works was filmed by real-life motion capture, and the other was co-produced by real people, so the feeling is not very pure. "Doraemon Movie" and "Peanuts Movie" are representative works that transform our two-dimensional comics into three-dimensional. They also have two-dimensional animations, but the soft three-dimensional texture, the chubby, rounded, and special material-like character shapes, still quickly convinced us.
The cartoon "Peanuts" is a representative work of the European minimalist school. It has dotted eyes and no color gradients, which makes it easy for us to focus on the author's flowing lines and the story behind it. After the three-dimensionalization, the dotted eyes become small bean eyes, so there are more possibilities to use eyes to communicate. The light in the picture generated by CG technology also makes the faces and clothes of the characters present a soft gradation. It is these changes that make us realize that Snoopy and Charlie Brown are really resurrected in three dimensions.
Of course, what we should pay special attention to is that the film pays special attention to reflect the taste of some comics. For example, the eyes, beauty and mouth of the characters are not modeled like noses, ears and hair, but are represented by comic lines, just like drawing lines on a balloon with a pen. Comic characters often appear in the film, and the audience is always reminded of its comic origin.
"Peanuts Movie", like "Doraemon Movie", describes the story of a primary school student's first love affair. It’s just that Doraemon is a complete helper, and Snoopy himself is also a witness. In his dream-like story, he has also completed the heroic rescue of the beauty, and the protagonist Charlie Brown’s emotional experience double The threads are intertwined.
At first glance at the comics of "Peanuts", I think Snoopy is a very cute and special dog with a loud and memorable name, but the little boy Charlie Brown is relatively too ordinary. Both Charlie and Brown in the name are popular. noun. But after watching the movie, I realized that Charlie Brown is actually an ordinary little boy. Like Nobita, he has various shortcomings. He is not a perfect salvation hero, but he is very sincere and true. It can be said that he just lives. around us.
The story of Charlie Brown and Snoopy is like the story of Nobita Nobita and Doraemon. It is a story of an ordinary protagonist and a star pet playmate. It is a story of the brave life of an ordinary person who is looked down upon. This kind of bravery What happened to an ordinary kid like Charlie Brown was much more credible and more substituting than what happened to young heroes like Ben10 and Conan.
I don’t know how many children will like kite flying after watching the movie. But they will all be inspired to fly their dreams in various ways and live bravely. When the children next to him often laughed knowingly, I felt that Brown's spirit was passed on to them in this kind of laughter. At this moment, everyone has become Charlie Brown, but in the next moment, everyone will have their own color life. This is the feeling that "Peanuts Movie" brings to me.
