Ji Ligu is always a child

I watched "Million Dollar Baby" last night, and it was really uncomfortable to watch, so I
took out another movie to rush, it was "The Adventures of Jiligu".
It's really nice!

When Americans do animation, they can guess 100% of their ideas, and when
Japanese do animation, they can also guess 7788,
but French animations are really amazing, and they have completely unexpected realms and endings.
The painting method is also very beautiful, it is the kind of primitive African beauty,
thick and brilliant.
The story is about Ji Ligu who crawled out of his mother's stomach and found that all the men in the village were eaten by the witch Calaba
.
But after a sharp turnaround, what I admire most is that the
witch does not do evil because of evil desires and greed, but because of pain.
A stinger was inserted into her back, which gave her magical powers and pain all the time.
Ji Ligu's mission has become to pull out the stinger, not to kill her... but to marry her!

Another one of my favorite places is when the little hero Ji Ligu met the wise grandpa and finally said,
"Can I climb on your knees? Grandpa, I think I'm so tired because I'm fighting alone.
" Ligu is a teenage hero, but he is always a child.
We write little heroes, not like children at all, like an adult, like a machine, like a violent machine.

I really, really like this story that happened in African legends, ji li gu.
