The plot of this film is not complicated, a story about monsters who are far away from humans. (Monsters Inc. is even more playful and innovative on this topic.) Dracula's wife was killed by the expulsion of humans, leaving his young daughter in his care, and he vowed to stay away from the human world. With her daughter, a castle, or a big hotel, stands in the lonely mountains. At the beginning of the film, the development of the plot is very clear, it is nothing more than the daughter's desire to see the human world, and the intrusion of someone in the human world. The appearance of each monster is very interesting. The werewolf brought a bunch of "flea-like" little wolves. The invisible man should be the image of the chameleon. Frankenstein was broken down into several large pieces. I was looking forward to the appearance of your characters. A big "play". But apart from their amusing episodes, there is really no gradual and rich character relationship. The boy Jonathan was always "controlled" by Dracula's side, because Dracula was afraid that the truth of "human beings" would be exposed, but in fact, the result of the exposure was nothing more than just that the monster guests were all gone, and his daughter Mephis was caught by the boy. absorb. Comparatively speaking, the emotional heating between the daughter and the boy does not seem to have the same role as Dracula and the boy. Dracula and the boy meet, joke, intimidate, persecute, save desperately, play games, and reveal their true feelings. . . Wait, this is by no means the base of The Vampire Diaries. On the other hand, it is the process of father Dracula being critical of his son-in-law, and even bravely chasing the plane at the risk of being scorched by the sun. Hey, no matter what, it seems that the role of the old man and the boy is too heavy. Therefore, young feelings are labeled with the curse of "love at first sight only once in a lifetime". ("Despicable Me 2" also has a plot like a father picking on his daughter's boyfriend, but it seems more natural, and it doesn't deliberately exaggerate too much. The father's excessive protection will become a kind of control.) Every time the daughter Whatever you do, Dracula will rush over desperately. On the one hand, if it is touching, on the other hand, it may be a little nervous. Speaking of nervousness, the play specially arranged several places when Dracula was nervous, and would involuntarily turn into the face of a "horrible vampire". This design reminds the audience, intentionally or unintentionally, that this loving and kind father is a vampire , the vampire. However, the hip-hop boy is not afraid of this, his state has always been "hee hee, haha, it's so fun" and so on, in addition to being able to go on stage to mobilize the atmosphere, in most cases, he is carried by Dracula, with a smile shrinking into one group. Such "love at first sight" or "true son" is probably the only male in the play with normal limbs other than his father. It has to be said that compared to the rich material that can be made into articles, the main line of the story is actually
The production company of this animation, Columbia Pictures, released the fun and warm "Little Rat" in 1999, which left a deep impression on people at the time, and has now released three films. This kind of family warmth series should be the theme that Colombia is good at. Tartakovsky, the director of the film "Hotel Elf", has directed "Powerpuff Girls" and "Dresk's Laboratory". These two works have distinct styles and personalities. In this animation, the bridge design of the supporting role is very interesting, but it is always a supporting role, forming a clear dividing line with the three protagonists. (The minions in "Despicable Me" have become the first protagonist in the second part due to their popularity.) Although the interesting plots of the supporting roles can also breed many topics after the second part, but In this work, the exploration and questioning of monsters and the human world is almost completely overshadowed by a father's doting.
The music part of this anime is pretty good. The producers can't live up to the intention of setting the protagonist human as a hip-hop boy. Overall, the basic level of this animation is still good, and the viewing pleasure is still worthy of recognition. However, as one of the very few American animations introduced into China every year, the competitiveness of this film and the impression it left on the audience are still slightly weaker. (As a fan of Minions, I look forward to introducing excellent works that can truly showcase the creativity of animation into domestic theaters. Don’t think that animation is just an “educational film” that fools children.)
Regarding character modeling, the image of father Dracula is impressive. The back is simply Batman, the face is as long as "The Pianist", very Italian, and always wears a black cape. Build a castle for her daughter, imitate a human village for her daughter, and hold a birthday party for her daughter. There are many officials and attendants, and the popularity is very good. It is simply the image of a perfect family dad. It is estimated that only special functions can be linked to vampires or bats. If you evolve into this, you really have become a fairy. The close-up of the face of the father and daughter turned into a bat is more like a cat than a bat. The chubby Mr. Mummy and the lady so-and-so who eats everything are very entertaining. The other characters will not be stated one by one, but such a rich supporting role setting, if there is no sequel, it is a great waste. My personal feeling is that a director who has created such a classic animated series might as well continue to make it into a series. For viewers who are a little picky about the fullness of the characters' characters or who expect innovation, this animation may only be a passing score. However, in terms of Tu Gele's attitude and fans of the monster group, this animation will not disappoint.
