A Bug's Life (Bugs Story) 1998
continues to look Piaxr series, which It is their second animated feature film.
Like all movies for children, this film is very clichéd and places the environment in the play on animals. This film is a world of ants. A clever, unruly ant often has all kinds of fresh ideas. But these ideas often cause a lot of trouble to other ants. One day, he got into trouble with his idea-ruining the food tribute to the grasshopper. When these grasshoppers found no food, they ordered the ants to gather again. The King of Ideas still doesn't follow the routine, and wants to find bigger bugs to fight against the grasshoppers. So, he came to the city alone and invited back a group of acrobatic troupe members who had just been expelled as fighters. After some understanding, they decided to make a fake bird to scare away the grasshopper. When the grasshopper came, there was some effect. But after the fake bird was mistakenly burned, the grasshopper wanted to kill. At this time, the ants united and finally drove away the grasshopper. So, after the members of the circus left, the ants lived a happy life again.
Piaxr's cartoons have two highlights, one is the imagination, and the other is the splendid picture. I just finished watching Piaxr's "Toy Story" series a few days ago, so compared with it, this film is weaker in these two aspects. First of all, the character creation in the film is not very complete. There are too many characters on the scene, so the unique personality of various insects is not fully displayed. Most of them are only related to the surface, such as spiders that can weave webs, fireflies that can light up lights, etc. These are very different from the various character settings in "Toy Story". Secondly, because this was a movie released in 1998, the computer technology was not advanced at the time. Although the film is still relatively good in the world, it shows a gap compared with the more excellent "Toy Story" series. . So, judging from the picture, except that the colors are particularly gorgeous, which dazzled my eyes, other aspects are relatively ordinary.
The storyline of the film and the settings of each funny point are quite satisfactory. There are no big surprises, but it is not bad. For example, the stick insect design is very fun. There is a scene where the stick insect disappears in the bamboo. More than the character in the film can't find him, I can't find him in the picture, it's too similar! But overall, compared to the frequent and hilarious scenes of "Toy Story", this film is still a step behind. Of course, it is not the best compared to the best, but compared with other cartoons such as "Ice Age", it is still in the same position.
Although compared with the "Toy Story" series, the film is not a mediocre work. The story of the film, like other cartoons in Hollywood, is geared towards children and children. The elements that are needed to cultivate children's growth are subtly added to the film. Such as values, outlook on life, world outlook and so on. Educate children to have the characteristics of the characters in the film, such as tenacious, firm, confident and so on. The use of these elements and the close integration with the plot are difficult for ordinary cartoons to achieve. In Hollywood cartoons, although it is not the first, it is also at the upper-middle level, but in Piaxr's cartoons, it is mediocre.
It is strange that as an animated cartoon, the music of the film did not leave any impression on me, which really surprised me. Only the perfect combination of cartoon and music is an excellent cartoon. Am I paying too much attention to the plot and neglecting the music?
Generally speaking, a cliché cartoon that is suitable for children is not very good, but it is not very bad either. Children can watch it.
