Disappointing adventure

I saw a promotional video about this movie two months ago and I was immediately attracted to it. I really want to watch it! Because it is the story I like. After experiencing a busy life of concealing dreams in my heart, I finally set aside everything and embark on a dream-seeking journey in the ancient years. The blue sky, reminiscent clouds of various shapes, colorful balloons, cabins, and the magnificent scenery of South America! All are my dreams!
Because of these colors and scenery, I still want to go to the theater to watch it, at least to watch the high-definition version, but I can't help it. The current version is naturally discounted.
I like the first ten minutes of the film very much, it's beautiful. The author uses very concise pen and ink to explain the protagonist's life very warmly to us. His ordinary and happy life, and the two, no, the common dream of the three. It is said that the closer you are to death, the more you are afraid of death. Therefore, it is not easy to embark on an adventurous journey when you are old.
But the main part of the film disappointed me. I look forward to telling them about their adventure to the Grand Canyon and the Great Waterfall. What I want to see is the beautiful scenery and customs of various places, which are displayed in the form of animation. However, after a storm, the protagonist suddenly arrived at his destination in South America! This is too fast, there is no search, no tribulation, the dream scenery in the painting is presented in front of you! Gosh! Why don't you bring Ellie here sooner! Moreover, the main story turned out to be an old-fashioned contest between good and evil that can take place no matter where it is, in order to save the life of a big bird with colorful feathers that has no clear origin. This story of the contest between good and evil has really been retelled too many times, and there is nothing new here, and it has not made good use of the unique landforms of the place where it took place.
The large group of talking dogs and the immortal Charles Mans are really strange. Some parts of the whole story are in line with the logic of real life, and some parts are not. The context is inconsistent and feels incoherent. Of course, this may also be a far cry from my original expectations.
In short, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment...

    I want to see that mountain, which is very far away in South Africa. I hope I can find someone to accompany me. Many people have dreamed of going somewhere, dreaming of traveling around the world. The burden in reality makes it difficult to take this step. If you have the courage, you really want to go out and take a good look at the world.

    If you have a dream, hurry up and realize it, otherwise it will be too late when you are old. Why do I always remember those boring little things, but it is these little things that I miss the most.
