I watched "Christmas Fright Night" last night. This is an animated film with a style similar to "Zombie Bride". When watching the film introduction, someone mentioned that the film is a prequel to "Zombie Bride". Closer to home, the style of this film is very good.
The plot of the film is relatively simple. Everything happens in a place called Halloween City, where all kinds of terrifying monsters live. Their job is to scare people on Halloween. The more frightened people are, the more their holiday is. success. And their leader, Pumpkin Prince Jack, has the strongest talent for scaring. It is very simple for him to create fear. Success after time has made him lose the sense of accomplishment for the success of Halloween.
He wandered outside the city by himself and unexpectedly came to the Christmas city. He saw the Christmas tree, Christmas gifts, and all kinds of Christmas objects there. He found that people were very happy, so he thought this was what he wanted, and he didn’t want it. Bring fear to people, but joy.
Out of a "devil" way of thinking, Jack decided to replace Santa Claus and preempt Christmas. He returned to Halloween City and announced the decision to all the residents. Everyone thought that Jack's ideas were fresh and supported Jack's decision very much. Jack studied Christmas-related books and gave the citizens relevant tasks based on the Christmas item design. But the citizens only have experience in making horrible items. They designed Christmas items according to their own ideas to be dangerous and terrifying. At the same time, he gave the task of kidnapping Santa Claus to the three little ghosts, and asked them to take him to Halloween City to replace them with gifts on Christmas Day.
The other main line of the story is the little girl Sally. She is a product produced by the doctor. The doctor uses her as his own work, servant and private property, and asks Sally to do housework for herself, as a research object, and trap her in her own. Around. Shari yearns for freedom. She ran away from the doctor several times and was caught by him again. When Prince Jack Moonlight analyzed his heart, he heard Jack's voice, and she was attracted by Jack, who was kind. Sally used her ingenuity to find freedom for herself. She left the doctor and wanted to help Jack. She looked at Jack's plan and thought everything was wrong. She wanted to stop Jack, but she didn't succeed.
It was finally Christmas day. Jack put on his Christmas costumes, took a sleigh pulled by elk skeletons, and carried dark gifts made by the citizens, and started Santa's work. He distributed the gifts to the children, but those horrible gifts brought people only fright, and the police also received reports from the whole city about Jack and his dark gifts. People launched cannons to kill Jack and his The car was shot down.
It was then that Jack realized that nothing he had done had brought people happiness, and he had made a mess of Christmas. He realized that he could not replace Santa Claus, so he rushed back to the city hoping to bring Santa Claus back to work. Unexpectedly, in order to please the terrible Mr. Bucky, the three little ghosts gave Santa to him. Bucky is a terrible and cruel gambler. He tortured Santa and planned to kill him. But the smart Sally discovered all this. She came to Bucky's home to secretly release Santa, but unfortunately was discovered, Bucky planned to kill them together. Just at the moment, Jack arrived and rescued them. Santa Claus regained his freedom, continued to perform his duties, and brought happiness to people. Jack also discovered the beauty of Sally, and they fell in love. The cartoon ends here, and the reunion is ending.
The big devil Jack wants to bring happiness to people, but his way of thinking is still a "devil" way of thinking, possessing, robbing, going on his own way, without restraint. So his Christmas finally failed, because he never cared what people really wanted at Christmas, so no matter how much he studied, no matter how much he prepared, it would be counterproductive. In fact, the film does not set Halloween as a villain, which brings terror to people, although their behavior is very consistent with people's negative impressions, taking the fear of others as pleasure, selfish, cunning, and cruel. But the film itself has always stood in a neutral position, watching the film completely, what I feel is not the so-called justice and evil, but that people should recognize themselves and find a way of life that suits them; before doing things, they must truly understand and learn from each other. From the perspective of consideration, it can be successfully completed.
