Keep it level, keep the color, keep it naive

In fact, animation is not the same as naive. It is the truth that many animation companies are determined to tell the audience. It just presents the concept that the creator wants to express to the audience in a more splendid and satisfying way. Because the audience is different, the means of performance are also different. For example, many animations in North America radiate all ages, so they are bound to be more abundant in content, with inspirational warmth and romantic entertainment. For example, many Japanese animations are aimed at adults, full of passionate violence and sometimes a little erotic. Of course, there are also baby-oriented ones, such as the "Cheese Cat" that is popular on the Internet. The animation takes only a few minutes. Only one cat sells cute from various angles. I haven't seen any girl who said it is naive, because it is aimed at small babies. You have to accept this meaningless cuteness if you want to see it.

One problem facing "The Smurfs" is that although its audience should be children, many adults want to find memories from it. We are no longer the kids who would rejoice when holding the TV and see small things jumping around, and dreaming at night to be able to fight side by side with them. When people come back to see the Smurfs when they are mature, they will inevitably feel simple and naive. What's more important is that compared to the usual tricks and tricks in anime dramas, the rebellious character of "The Smurfs", Ge Witch, has only one trick-to use magic to catch the Smurfs. There are two more elves in "The Smurfs 2". Although they are on the evil side at first, the general trend remains the same. Those two little guys were used to sublimate the theme of the family at the end, so the real bad guy is still the witch. The so-called family concept in "The Smurfs 2" has always been the core of their animation content. The process of working together to fight against the witch is the bond that connects the elves to each other. This bond does not require blood, and even crosses races. Can narrow the distance between heart and heart. It can be seen that the concept of great harmony in the world has eternal and perfect existence in The Smurfs.

As a result, it will inevitably make people feel a little aesthetic fatigue. Of course, in the movie version of "The Smurfs", the real world joined in, to some extent, my childhood dream of combining virtual and reality was realized. However, the Smurfs did not grow up, and they were still cute. On the one hand, we sighed with the passing of the years, and on the other hand, we couldn't help being jealous of why they stayed in their youngest years forever. It feels a bit like my little niece, she is eager to grow up, but we are eager to grasp the past. She liked Pleasant Goat very much when she was in kindergarten, but when she was in elementary school, she said she didn't know how she "would see such naive things". She wants to grow up, and when she turns her head to look at Pleasant Goat, she will find it boring to torment the big gray wolf again and again. But her so-called "childish" childhood was left to Pleasant Goat, and I left it to the Smurfs, Flower Fairies, and the cartoon characters in the Little Dragon Club.

So even though "The Smurfs 2" is really simple, and the characters are not new. The characters, especially my favorite Neil Patrick, are just playing soy sauce, but I still can't give it a lot of evil. Comment. It's like going to see Pleasant Goat with a friend and I will give a good evaluation. When we have chosen a child’s perspective, we must accept that it is vulgar and naive. We cannot criticize this kind of naivety, just as we cannot criticize our own childhood, because it is this simplicity that gave me the most true memories at the time. It is this kind of memory that we want to retrieve when we buy tickets, no more, no less naive. The right memories.
