"Animal Story 3D": A full tribute to Hollywood animation

Today, Hollywood animation is undoubtedly the best in the world. Animation works in other countries, in addition to the elements of their own style, have been more or less impacted by the ideas of Hollywood animation production. Whether you can't help it or pay homage to it, the tribute of film art is actually an unfathomable science. Grasping the principle and foundation of tribute, you can create an excellent work of your own; on the contrary, blindly using doctrines and stacking complicated "essences" indiscriminately, it will definitely fall to the end of painting a tiger and not an anti-dog. .

As a German animation work, "Animals 3D" can be regarded as a super level performance in terms of its artistic level, whether it is entertaining or technical. However, if you have to study it carefully, too strong a tribute, it will make this animation tend to be mediocre in personality, and there are few things unique to it. Taking the global greenhouse effect as the starting point, using the struggle between humans and animals to explain the simple and clear environmental protection theme, it should be said that it is not only a plot of a bad street, but also a point of view for young and old, big and small. The film is advancing in imitation and tribute from beginning to end. The introduction of animals at the beginning of the chapter was full of energy, so the audience saw the shadow of "Madagascar" and "Ice Age". In order to achieve the thematic effect of the animal "general mobilization", he did not hesitate to borrow the faults and divisions of various plots to force the large forces together. For the opening of the new words, it is easy to make people wander away from the film. Fortunately, the plot development that followed, steadily stepped onto the right track, and couldn't help but sweat.

In Hollywood animation, there will almost always be bright characters who gaggle. Although they are not the protagonists, they may not be of great significance to the development of the plot. They are purely to add jokes, and some can even domineeringly. Similar to the horse (Maxim) in "Rapunzel", the extremely humane expression is definitely the biggest surprise of the film; another example is the boot cat in the "Shrek" series-selling cuteness, strength As a supplement, a separate biography for it ("Cat in Boots"), I think it is not surprising. In "Animal Story 3D", it is natural to not escape such a role placement. Although the big-mouthed monster who loves to fart, I really don't see any joy, but the Gaul cock who is keen to dominate, its performance is worthy of recognition. This is also one of the few European elements in the film. The buffalo herd and the rhino herd, in addition to the showy accent, the dedicated pretending to be crazy and stupid is also not very flattering. In addition, the lion who is a vegetarian, the old tortoise who asks for advice, the monkey who is witty and witty, etc., each character has a different personality. It seems that the condiments for this time are all well-matched, and everything that should come is here. But as everyone knows, the audience is already aesthetically tired under the indiscriminate bombardment of Hollywood animation, and imitating the tribute is at best bleak.

The film extremely vilifies and weakens human beings. The only hunter villain is also a paper tiger. While the confrontation is weakened, it also weakens the audience's sense of resonance. At the end, the animals occupy the city, and the young fairy tale style is performed to the peak. Not only was it not persuasive, but it also chose New York as a breakthrough point, which clearly reminds the audience that this work's tribute to Hollywood has reached a state of piety that is steadily moving. Such a lack of self-confidence is really sad.

Hollywood's successful animation examples can be grouped into several categories. The first is works that are unconventional, such as "Monster Electric Company", "Shrek", "Robot No. 9", the grotesque creative style can make the audience shine and experience unprecedented sensory impact. The second is the meaningful works, such as "Flying House" and "Robot Walli", which move people with emotion and convince people with reason. They are like tasting tea, the entrance is comfortable and refreshing, and the aftertaste is even more endless. The third is works with comprehensive emotional elements, such as "Rio Adventure", "Toy Story", and "Racing Story". The artistic skills contained in these films are all-encompassing, and the full emotional catharsis can easily satisfy the audience and remember it. . Fourth, works purely relying on the picture to win, such as the picture control Zach Schneider's "Legend of the Guardian", the advantages of ever-changing technology are fully reflected. It can be seen that since Hollywood has created so many dazzling animation blueprints, it is reasonable for us to imitate and pay tribute without losing our traditional animation characteristics. After all, it is impossible to break through Hollywood's stereotypes overnight.
