I have to say that this film is badly shot, every frame is beautiful, and it sucks when put together.

After the overall evaluation, let's take a look at the dark lines of this movie.

Many people may remember that the beginning of the movie is in Kansas. This city has a special meaning. Walt Disney started his romance career. We can first assume that the movie's The male protagonist is Disney himself, so the assistant in the movie is likely to be Walt Pfeiffer, the good friend he knew in reality, and finally founded the Disney Empire with him.


In the beginning, Disney made a lot of black and white films without success, echoing his repressed black and white segments in the first half of the film.

In 1924, Walt was invited to Hollywood to complement the colorful fairy tale world that followed. In particular, the first color cartoon filmed by Walt is "Flowers and Trees", which must be said to be consistent with those exotic flowers and plants that have just entered the color world.

And then he met Mila, the scene of swallowing apples is very similar to the character setting of Snow White, and Disney's first successful feature-length cartoon was Snow White. And Pinocchio is the first stereo movie, the shape of the puppet and the ceramic doll are somewhat similar, of course, this is a bit uncertain, after all, there are still some differences in the image.

The latter section of Qiao will not be analyzed in detail, mainly because I am not familiar with Disney animation, but I always feel that it is a mix of various animation clips that have appeared. I don’t know if the judges feel the same way. Of course, the iconic ones also include Disney. The sign, the emergence of Neuschwanstein Castle.

The last thing that needs to be mentioned is the echo of the ending of the story and Disney himself. The characters in the play finally use a carriage similar to a movie projector to create an illusion, defeat the enemy, and are recognized by the people of the country. In reality, Disney, using illusions like movies, has also conquered the world.

The fireworks in the final scene can also be linked to the iconic fireworks display at Disneyland.

Going back to the publicity stunt of this film, it is said to be a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, and The Wizard of Oz is the last short film Disney made before going to Hollywood.

Of course, the above clips may also be the author's own YY, or the director may be stupid and naive, but he has made a simple bad film! ! !

In addition, Disney's logo is based on the German landmark, Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle, beautiful, was built for Louis II. The emperor was obsessed with art, not the country, and was especially fascinated by the medieval swan opera. The author once walked through it, and every detail was amazing, but the king was in The castle was taken away before it was finished, and then died. So the Disney old man used this prototype as a landmark. To a certain extent, he was also very obsessed with art films like Louis Weissy, and he brought this beautiful realm to the world through cartoons. Recreating the castle in Disney parks around the world fulfills Louis II's unfinished dream.
