Regardless of the literal meaning or the connotation of the story, the more accurate translation of "Crazy Animal City" should be called "Animal Utopia". Of course, this animated movie produced by Disney will not have a translation that is so jerky or even black. After all, people still hope that it can bring more vivid pleasure from the look and feel.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is almost the best Disney animation work in recent years, not one of them. Compared with the competition at the same time, the martial arts film that sells nationalism but relies on buying box office fraud. This movie, with a group of cute little animals as the protagonist, relies purely on powerful content and has gone from obscurity to well-known.
Everyone was talking about it, just overnight.
Painters are studying how the hair and post-rendering of animal characters are prohibitive; the technicians are splitting how the lighting effects of the last concert are out of the domestic animation Shibajiejie; the children laughed at the embarrassment of the animals; Adults smiled knowingly because of the ingenuity of the metaphor of the real society with animal characteristics; popular science fans are popularizing how many kinds of animals appeared in this movie, those uncommon-such as playing the Italian mafia What kind of ghost is the little creature? The girls said that they divorced Dabai and are now working hard to marry the fox; until now, even the dirty adult comics have appeared, and the fox and the rabbit have become national CPs. Everyone is studying what their offspring will look like...
The quality of a work can actually be seen from the interpretation of it. The typical sign of a classic work is that there is room for interpretation from multiple dimensions, and these Interpretation has already overflowed the author's original intention, and his own combination has become a broader symbolic world.
The reason why "Crazy Animal City" is praised is that it can meet people's needs no matter from which dimension. Children see the big adventures of small animals, and adults see the ridicule and understanding of reality, and these are all melted into a standard fairy tale. So, even if you finally give you a reunion and a radiant tail, you will not think it is naive, but subconsciously want to see that joyful song and dance. More importantly, the cute and interesting stories and details do not conflict with those solemn meanings.
From the surface story, "Crazy Animal City" is full of unspoiled childlike and childlike humor. For example, when the train stopped, the three doors opened in turn, and animals of different heights rushed from different doors. out. The director and screenwriter arranged a special car door for the cute little hamster. The details will make you feel that there are always some indelible and beautiful ideas under the skin of an adult that make people move. These are all in the minds of children. The little inspiration that can only be produced, it directly and smartly adds a lot of real childlike interest to the movie; and from the perspective of the deep structure, it can support an animation to be so praised, there must be more profound meanings. And these things reach the depths of adult consciousness.
First of all, it is an extremely politically correct work. It emphasizes respect for cultural diversity, criticism of racial discrimination, and the desire to promote communication between different groups, etc., while at the same time, it sharply satirizes institutional issues with a seemingly cute sense of humor, such as Arranging government officials as sloths, even tearing off a document and putting a seal on it will take half a day. This method of mocking administrative inefficiency corresponds so precisely to an animal, that kind of mockery is graceful and precise.
In addition, those who are a little familiar with American culture and American movies will be able to see what kind of identity and cultural background each animal represents, which characters are black, which characters are immigrants, and which ones Those of Italian descent, who are well-educated, but who are false, and who have been working hard at the bottom, but have not lost their original intentions...
The choice of each animal metaphor is just right, whether it is the character traits it carries or its external image, it has been strictly screened. This makes the final result not only in line with the public's perception of that animal, but sometimes deliberately subverted. In the process of subversion, many times it was a kind of clearing of chaos. For example, the fox in people’s minds is cunning. It also appeared as a liar. It took another small fox to trick a huge sorbet and break it down into more small sorbets to sell to those. The well-dressed little hamsters, but in the end, he began to no longer hide the kinder part of himself deep in his heart, got rid of people's inherent prejudice, and became a policeman. The inside of this clue is a standard narrative model of the American Dream. The kind of characters that deliberately hide their pure heart with a bad appearance can be seen everywhere in film and television works. For example, the crossbow in "The Walking Dead" and the fox in "Crazy Zoo" are basically the same, so from this perspective , The success of "Crazy Animal City" is largely due to our ability to transcend the appearance of animals and reach the spiritual core of the human world.
If it keeps moving towards a positive meaning, then the story will eventually appear boring. What's more valuable is that "Zoo City" is particularly open and confident to use its own cultural and institutional shortcomings to ridicule and laugh at itself. They used a cunning sheep and a lion that seemed to have great leadership but were in fact strong outsiders to ridicule various calculations in the political arena. They used media performance after frequent cases to mock the lack of rationality and introspection of the media ecology; they also used animals. The separation of time reveals the seemingly peaceful chain of contempt and racial discrimination that has always existed. The combination of all this is an "animal utopia", which has the beauty that we have been hoping for and has been striving for, and there is also the dark side that we have tried to abandon but still cannot get rid of. There is nothing unrecognizable, this is the original appearance of the world in which we exist.
Therefore, from this perspective, the joint adventure of the fox and the rabbit is a mirror image of our lives and encounters in life. They have gone through all the classes in the crazy animal city, witnessed the meek and cruel creatures, saw the life under the light and the shadow, and understood how a life is distorted by power and how it can be hurt by prejudice. It seems to be about a crazy adventure that took place in the animal city, but in fact, it is also staged every day in our crazy and beautiful theater on earth. We are all crazy animals, and this world is just a crazy animal city.
