"Maybe the mundane makes us forget it, maybe our movie reminds people of it"-Walt Disney

At eight o'clock in the evening, I just finished watching Disney's "Frozen". When I came out of the theater, the rain was heavy, and the raindrops all over the sky poured down like my emotions. Close your eyes, as if you are still standing in that ice and snow world, watching scenes of love and hate unfolding, watching the joys and sorrows of the world, fortunately, the ending is beautiful, and the heart is instantly warmed.

Opening his eyes, it seemed like a world away.



Disney finally washed away the decline of its own animation department caused by the rise of 3D animation. "Frozen" has been released in North America so far at the box office of 360 million, surpassing "The Lion King" to become the most popular animation film in its history. From "Tangled" to last year's "Invincible Destruction King", Disney step by step, slowly regaining the glory of its creation. What's interesting is that the decline of Disney animation in the 1990s is accompanied by the rise of 3D animation pioneered by Pixar. Today, Pixar's films have gradually lost their original look. On the curtain call of the film, I found out that the name of the producer was John Lasseter, poor Pixar, and your soul character was poached by Disney. No wonder you have been sluggish in recent years. Thinking of John Lasseter’s deep relationship with Disney, he worked in Disneyland during his high school days. He studied at Cal Art's founded by Disney in college. It is worth mentioning that he is known as a Hollywood wizard director and directed the first film "The Bat". "Man", "Edward Scissorhands", "Zombie Bride", "Alice in Wonderland" and a series of blockbusters Tim Burton also graduated from Cal Art's and is an alumnus of John Lasseter. After graduating from the California Academy of the Arts, John Lasseter entered the Disney Animation Studio to produce short animation films for him. Unfortunately, because of his advanced awareness of using computers to make animated films, he was not understood and appreciated by Disney's senior management, so the contract was cancelled by Disney and turned to Co-founded Pixar Animation Studios with Edwin Cartham of New York Institute of Technology, thus creating the global popularity and popularity of 3D animation, which directly led to the decline of 2D hand-drawn animation, until Pixar was acquired by Disney in 2006 , John Lasseter also became the creative director of Disney.

I can’t help but complain, John Lasseter, after you return to Disney, don’t you ask Pixar? Look at what they have taken in the past few years. The mediocre and boring "Cars2" is quite satisfactory. "Brave", and last year's "Monsters University" without any surprises, this is not the Pixar movie I want! ! ! Where is the creative, technical, story, and most importantly, emotional Pixar? ! ! Where is the "Wali" that dared to make an animated film into a silent film, and seamlessly integrate such a serious political fable as "Animal Farm" into an animated film! ! ! That little sad love cup that only took the first five minutes of the movie can be remembered, and where is the amazing "Flying House Tour"! ! ! John Lasseter, you can't just say "Art challenges technology, and technology inspire the art" and then just let Pixar go, it can't do without you, we fans need you! This world needs you, the king of animation movies... I am a little excited and can't help myself, no way. For me as a domestic 3D animation film practitioner, Pixar is the holy land in my mind, and I can't tolerate it at all. To be mediocre, to become reluctant to make progress, and only knows to eat his own money. In the words of a film critic, Pixar has raised the animated feature film to such a high level that when they launched a film, it can only be regarded as good, and it has not reached greatness. Critics will criticize violently when the level is too high. For this, Pixar is really self-inflicted. I still remember the first time in 2008 when I saw "Wali", I was shocked, tears filled my eyes, and I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. It was the first time I knew that an animated movie could be made like this, with feelings and feelings. It is deep and interesting at the same time. For the first time, I feel that this is the career I want to pursue in my life. My ideals, ambitions, dreams and desires can be realized through the means of animation movies. For the first time, it seems that life really finds faith and direction. This feeling of electric shock is as unforgettable as first love. Therefore, worshiping it is like worshiping a hero. Who can bear to see the hero’s twilight, falling into the streets, and destitute; therefore, liking it is like liking the goddess in his mind, who would like to see the goddess unkempt hair and redness when she is not up in the morning The eye sockets, the indecent sleeping posture; it seems that you can't bear to see Han Han suddenly stop advocating words and criticizing current affairs, and instead become a party of fifty cents. You can't bear to see Andy Lau wrinkled and old. Love is deep and responsible, and human is natural.

Suddenly I couldn't help but I didn't expect to pull it so far, well, I admit that this is not a film review about "Frozen", but just a silly and crazy nonsense after I watched the movie.



Now let’s return to the topic. Please allow me to recommend it seriously. This is definitely the best animated film this year. Regardless of the story, production technology, 3D effects, and soundtrack, it is a rare masterpiece in recent years. Maybe it can’t be called a masterpiece, maybe it has such flaws in the plot, character setting, and some small details, but it does not prevent it from becoming the best of the year in this year’s animated film, becoming the box office word-of-mouth and awards. The big winner at the ceremony.

I am very pleased to see that Disney has finally recovered its due glory with the help of "Frozen". I am very happy to see that such an animated film can be loved and respected all over the world. I am very happy to see that this film has been rewarded generously. Disney, the honor and confidence you have gained are far greater than this. When I returned home after the film screening, I found the behind-the-scenes production of the film on the Internet, and found all the related videos and texts. For six or seven hours, the soundtrack of the film "Frozen" was played in the headphones, "Let it go". , "Do you want to build a snowman", "Frozen Heart"... I am immersed in the emotions brought to me by the movie, either sad or joyful, I cannot help myself and cannot extricate myself. From every frame of the movie, every expression of the character, every action, every note in the soundtrack, I can feel the creator’s intentions and sincerity, and the feelings they want to express, so strong and sincere, touching my heart. These are the qualities I have never experienced in domestic animations in recent years. These are the realms that people who keep saying that they want to surpass Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and that their animations are of international quality have never reached the level. The sincere dedication, the false and exaggerated words of these people, and the utilitarian motives make people feel disgusting and chilling. Compared with the creators and producers of Disney, we should feel ashamed, because we have never expressed ourselves so sincerely, never so deeply appreciate love and hate, kindness and bravery, frustration and hesitation, courage and confidence. Our country used to have great animation artists like the Wan Brothers, and once had such moving works as "Havoc in Heaven", but today it has fallen to this point. How can my generation not be embarrassed?



After "Kung Fu Panda 2" was released, there was a comment in the tenth screening room. For Chinese cartoons, can Kung Fu Panda have any useful enlightenment and help... No. Because the level and gap it exhibits can no longer be made up by money and the market. For Chinese cartoons, what they need is not a great leap forward, but to return to the starting point of our culture, and to walk the long road that has been neglected for many years, and only to walk a long enough road. It is possible for a child to become a soldier.

I believe there are too many practitioners who disagree with these words. They feel that we have capital to operate, have a growing market, and have such a hot and enthusiastic movie audience. Our production costs and labor costs are so low that we will fail completely. Those foreigners. These people are so high-spirited, as if making a move today, tomorrow they can make a big leap into the daily production of ten thousand catties, and the daily advancement of gold.

And at this time, only what Walt Disney had said in my mind, when planning a new movie, we don’t think about adults, we don’t think about children, we just think about the purity and unpolluted deep in each of us. The place. Maybe the world makes us forget it, maybe our movie reminds people of it.



Today, I came out of the cinema and stood on the empty street, watching the deep night surrounded by the sea. The heavy rain was splattering. I felt lonely and cold on my body, but my heart was hot. Xiong Shili once said that people call me lonely and cold. Those who are interested in basic academics should have the spirit of loneliness. These words warm my heart. I seem to see Elsa in the movie being misunderstood and expelled by everyone and fled to a remote snow-capped mountain alone. Her song "Let it go" rang in my ears again:

Let itgo, Let it go

The coldnever bothered me again

It'sfunny how some distance

Makeseverything seems small

And thefears that once controlled me

Can'tget me at all

Up herein the cold thin air

Ifinally can breathe

I know Ileft behind but I'm to relieve to grieve
