Pure entertainment time

When 3D animation became mainstream animation in Hollywood, Pixar Studios, which is now included in Disney, has always been the flagship of 3D animation, and almost every work produced by it can be successful. And DreamWorks, as Disney’s rival, succeeded in taking the lead with "Shrek" and began a PK war with Disney on 3D animation. Compared with these two giants in the 3D animation industry, Fox’s Blue Sky Studio can only be regarded as a younger brother. However, after its success with "Ice Age" in 2002, Blue Sky Studio polished its own with a cautious attitude. In the 3D animation business, work was done slowly, and the subsequent launches of "Robot" and "Ice Age 2" were very popular and made a lot of money at the box office. Blue Sky Studio seems to be on the rise, gradually becoming the third force in 3D animation.

The film "Ice Age 2" started the story of the animals migrating and fleeing with a melting glacier crisis, and finally a boat was arranged to rescue them. The whole story of "Noah's Ark" is used in the film. There are indeed quite a few in the film. Similar imitation shows, some understand, some are not clear, but it doesn't matter how many missed, because there are enough jokes in this cartoon to stimulate our laughter nerves. The story is composed of two irrelevant lines. One line is the canine-tooth squirrel Scott's obsessive pursuit of pine cones, and the other line is the escape of the three brothers Sid, the saber-toothed tiger and Mammoth Manny. Distance. It should be said that the storyline of "Ice Age 2" is very old-fashioned, and a bit loose, which is not too subtle. And as an animated film that can be suitable for audiences of multiple ages, the studio has also been given a lot of superficial preaching, such as the environmental protection concept of preventing global warming, how to overcome fear and defeat the self, and the identification of self-identity, etc. As an animated film that needs to be read easily, these thoughts are just an embellishment, just to avoid making the film too empty.

The most important function of the film "Ice Age 2" is not preaching but entertainment, so you don't have to look at the film from a serious perspective, you just need to easily find pure happiness from it. The canine squirrel Scott, who has nothing to do with the main story in the film, may be regarded as the most likable character. It inherits the dedication of the first episode, and continues to chase the pine cones frantically, but is inevitably defeated by the design. He sighed but couldn't help but laughed. The arrogant physical humor coupled with a tended personality fascinated the audience. However, the three protagonists who are also in the first episode have cut off the scenes due to the addition of new characters, so the degree of funny has also been reduced a lot. The colorful laughter is more of the female mammoth Ellie and the possum. Made by brothers. In the process of watching the film, funny paragraphs appeared in endlessly, and laughter was passed through the theater almost from time to time. It should be admitted that the Chinese dubbing was quite successful this time, and some humorous dialogues were quite localized.

From a technical perspective, Blue Sky Studio has also made considerable progress, and we can see that the animation modeling is more detailed. In fact, this is not worthy of praise. Blue Sky Studio's progress in 3D animation production has no leading advantage. Such progress is the general development of the entire 3D animation technology. "Ice Age 2" is even more commendable in that it takes the entertainment function to the extreme in an older story, and it attracts the audience's attention, even though such an animated film is difficult to impress in the audience's mind. A classic, but letting the audience enjoy every minute of happiness in the cinema is enough to pay back the ticket price, even if you get out of the cinema, you will forget the brilliance.

    The saber-toothed tiger learns to swim is very good, "I am not a prey of water, my instinct is to hunt", "You told me that most animals are born to swim, so I can learn" "Yes, but tigers are not born I know how to swim, I deliberately kept you from telling me"...In contrast, the story of mammoths mating and falling in love and squirrels looking for acorns is too mediocre, and the two fishes of the villain have various characterlessness, but they are trees. Lazy is a lot wiser in this movie...
