But the competitive advantage of Anderson's film is obviously not only here.
A neat setting is indispensable in fairy tales, and this movie takes it to the extreme. Not only are the large items such as military camps, houses, and roads, but the characters, props, and costumes are also neat and uniform and full of design, meticulous, clean and tidy. Especially for little girls, of
course this is just a basic requirement. Yuesheng Kingdom has made great efforts in character lines, shots and editing. The character lines are cut short without nonsense, the action is rigid and decisive, the expression is long and the lens is smooth and without jitter, the short lens is quick and not muddy, and the switching between the perspective and the short is abrupt but comfortable.
All these designs allow this fairy tale movie to successfully compete with other cartoons and feature films. In fact, this style is also reflected in "Edward Scissorhands", but in that film, Tim Burton seems to use the minimalist dollar principle, which makes the setting reveal a single and boring color. Of course, this and The rigidity of the city dwellers in the plot is directly related. On the other hand, in "The Kingdom of Moonrise", the complex and original characteristics of the natural landscape are still preserved, but the barren, untidy and sloppy are removed, and the refreshing and bright colors of the artificial landscape are added, and the composition is complete and enriched.
