The cartoons that have always preferred Europe, especially France, have a kind of cold romance, which is very charming. The favorite director is Sylvia Jomai, whose works are more cold and sharp. But the film "Zucchini" is another style of France, more innocent and more beautiful.

Children are left in the orphanage because of various unhappy families. Although the teachers and friends of the orphanage are friendly and lovely, the desire for family is still obvious. It is obvious when seeing other children’s mothers. Googou's eyes.


Zucchini was always played by the school boy Simon, and eventually they became best friends. Camille came to the orphanage, and Zucchini fell in love with her. In the end, both Zucchini and Camille were taken by the cute police as their own children.


This is a fairy tale that does not need to go to the details of the story. We are struggling with "How can the policeman have two children in a tight life?" or "The police have adopted two children, so will the other children in the orphanage be very sad in the future?" We are all too many questions. Old people. If they are like zucchini and they are only ten years old, there are so many things that can be explored in the world, such as making all kinds of kites by yourself, such as making friends with a ruffian child, such as falling in love.


In addition to the story, the film’s lovely details are more charming. The nose of the zucchini is made like a soft cola, and I want to pinch it. My favorite Simon in the film belongs to the handsome and handsome character. He has a hairstyle similar to that of a flower wheel, wearing a red skull sweater and rolled trouser jeans, and yellow work boots similar to Tian Mulan. The French "Simon" is pronounced like "c dream", which is probably the "嗦唏 c dream" of zucchini. Simon is very smart and mature, helping Camille escape from her aunt's claws, and finally let Zucchini feel relieved to be adopted by the police uncle. This kind of key role connects the plot of the story and helps the protagonist grow up, usually relying on his own sacrifice, which is easy to make the audience feel a little distressed.


And probably the long left bangs of the girl named Jujube is a manifestation of the mood. Probably the big red-rimmed glasses of the girl named Alice. And probably Ahmed's favorite doll. It's like our own innocent years. But we are easily healed by the cute animation once, and when we turn around, we are frowning at the bad life.
