Brief introduction: The monitor lizard attempts to rule the world, and the scientist family reunites to take a big adventure.

Core character composition: Avril + Cat Darwin + Thief

Film clue chain: the government arrests scientists-the protagonist's family was separated during the arrest-Avril developed his own "serum" to rescue the cat Darwin-the villain thief meets Avril-accidentally discovered "serum" and Learned the clues of grandpa-the mysterious organization debuted-Avril reunited with grandpa-In order to find clues to dad, grandpa was arrested-Avril was hunted down by the mysterious organization-Avril rescued grandpa & exposed his identity as a thief -Captured by a mysterious organization-Knowing the truth about the "serum", making on-site preparation-Male monitor lizards used for private purposes, triggering a battle-Cats dedicated themselves at the last minute, avoiding human catastrophe

The role of husband and wife: accept the status quo and compromise (mother) VS obey the inner uncompromising (dad) Selflessness for environmental protection (female monitor lizard) VS selfishness for control (male monitor lizard)

Villain setting: Animals used by scientists to do experiments. After possessing wisdom, they capture human scientists for their work and want to rule humans.

Reversal: The true desire of female monitor lizards to develop "serum" in order to create a green world

The dark line of character growth: thief (help the police avenge private revenge-fall in love with Avril and help her prevent a disaster from happening)

Outstanding design: 1. The assistant's "thief" status is set to A, and the first meeting with Avril Lavigne (changed Avril's stolen goods to prevent her from being hunted down) B. Changed the "serum" and water to avoid a catastrophe (The two key points that promote the plot, especially B, perfectly fit the identity of the thief. If Avril must have a helper, according to the final setting of the film, the thief is the most suitable setting.)

2. A cat who can only understand human language. In the film, the scope of action is much larger than that of real people, including grandpa being arrested to deliver a letter to Avril and last-minute rescue, rushing into the rocket.
