continued to migrate during the Ice Age,
made Blue Sky Studio famous, and has become one of the golden characters of CG animation today, has ushered in the latest work after the end of the trilogy - "Ice Age 4" ". The storyline of the film continues with the first three films, and the protagonist remains the same. Talking about the production ideal for this new film, the film's producer [John Dakin] said: "The whole story of 'Ice Age' actually didn't think so much in the first episode. At that time, I just wanted to make a film" Cool' cartoon, so we put the story in the ice age of snowstorms. And in the process of making the first part, we also consciously joined the different plights of animals and humans facing the ice age. Now back to In retrospect, the entire production team of the first film was very visionary, and this tone laid a solid foundation for the success of the Ice Age series. After the completion of Ice Age 3, Blue Sky Studios has been working non-stop. Looking for new possibilities for this series, because the story of the first three episodes is already very complete. If we want to continue filming, what kind of way should we do it? Later, everyone thought that since the story of the Ice Age, to some extent, has been It's over, so let's create a new world! That's the original idea of Ice Age 4."
In "Ice Age 4", the background has changed significantly, just like the title this time - plate drift. And the culprit that caused the upheaval on the continent was the little squirrel. This is finally no longer the same as in the past from its role, just a gag, and began to enter the main story seriously. Regarding the character relationships and story structure in "Ice Age 4", director Steve Martino said: "We hope that after experiencing the story of three films, "Ice Age 4" can bring you something new First of all, in terms of character settings, the original characters must be the protagonists, and that will never change - unless the series really encounters a bottleneck that has to be solved; then the original characters, in the past In the rumors, everyone likes Little Squirrel very much, and we have also seen a lot of comments from the audience, hoping to see her part in the feature film as much as possible, so this time we set a very extreme for it in "Ice Age 4". An important part, to show the charm of the little squirrel, it can be regarded as justification for its name! As for the newly added characters, we have thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use some of the most popular elements to blend in that distant era, I hope so The mashup can bring a new feeling to the audience. As for the background, our entire team believes that the real Ice Age has gradually passed, and the series has ushered in a new look, so we decided to start with "Ice Age 4" Make major adjustments, and this movie is considered a transition." Since the "Ice Age" halo is about to fade from the
search for a beautiful home
, are you worried about whether everyone can accept that there is no "glacier" in the "Ice Age"? ? In this regard, director Steve Martino said: "This is a topic that has plagued our entire production team for a long time, including until last week (February 2012), when the team met, we were still discussing this issue. In fact, this is the same as reality, the glaciers are slowly melting, they are gradually disappearing; and the world in the movie is the same, everything that once had in the ice age is gradually disappearing. This is a sad Topic, but in the animation, we want to bring some happy elements to the audience, so even if the ice age disappears, it will usher in a more beautiful home. Just like Manny in the film has been looking for his own warm home Again, it's a search theme that hasn't changed in the first three; so in the rest of the story, they'll continue to search, and will eventually find their own, beautiful home."
The screenwriter [Michael Berg] also agreed with director Steve Martino on this idea: "Our whole story was based on the first episode, but at the time no one thought it would be possible to make this story. To the fourth episode, and it can be widely recognized by the audience. So in the process of filming the sequel, everyone will discuss the next arrangement every time. Once an audience told us that through this film, his 8-year-old son Knowing a lot of things about the ancient times, so this gave us some inspiration, so in the third episode, we added elements of dinosaurs; then we realized that the story of the ice age can actually be related to a lot of ancient, extinct, Combine the things that have disappeared. Just as we chose to use saber-toothed tigers and mammoths as the protagonists, we hope to re-present the creatures and scenes that are no longer visible on earth to the audience, and lead everyone to appreciate them from another perspective. Earth."
Jeremy Renner originally planned to dub a character in the film, but unfortunately withdrew because of the conflict with the filming of "The Bourne 4".
·In the beginning, the story of "Ice Age 4" was rumored that the background would be put into the contemporary time, and Sid, Manny and Diego's will be thawed and awakened in the frozen ice. The title is "Ice Age: Th4w". However, in the end, the filmmakers denied this somewhat appalling story.
