Why did a small fish that returned after thirteen years attract so many people

As we all know, Disney, DreamWorks and Pixar are the three giants of the main theme animation factory in the United States. Although I personally prefer DreamWorks animation production, Pixar's "General Mobilization" also brought us a lot of childhood memories. For example, "Finding Nemo" thirteen years ago. At that time, I bought a CD with my best friend and played it back and forth at home. I never get tired of watching it. At first glance, Nemo the clown fish is indeed a bit ugly, but when it moves on the screen, you will unconsciously have a kind of feeling. A sense of substitution, imagining that I am the little fish, lost in the sea to find my father. This is the charm of animation. It uses exaggerated expressions and believable actions to give characters to characters. At the same time, it also diversifies our identity experience through anthropomorphic techniques, so as to get a heaven-to-earth movie viewing experience. It's no wonder that the cartoons of the Big Three have always been well received by the audience, not only because of their professional and smooth animation technology and cute cartoon images, but also because they have identified today's mainstream values ​​and filled the audience's vacancies in life.
However, the biggest feature of this type of cartoon is that basically before entering the theater, we know that this is undoubtedly another story of a small character breaking through many difficulties and finally achieving a happy ending. So why are we so obsessed with going to the cinema to watch it? What did this little fish who returned after 13 years bring us?
First of all, the audience for the cartoons of the Big Three will always be children and big friends. In the eyes of children, they are themselves. In the eyes of older friends, they are their past selves. This is a blend of beautiful yearning and precious memories. There was a pink elephant in the best animated film "Inside Out" at the last Oscars. I think everyone must be impressed. The moment I saw the elephant disappear in the cinema, I was saddened and wept. At that time, I suddenly remembered that many of my childhood friends that I had or imagined have gradually disappeared with time. In addition to memory killing, emotion is also a killer. "Finding Nemo" used this trick. From 13 years ago when Nemo was looking for his father, to this year's Dolly looking for his family, they are undoubtedly performing a family search, standing in the center of the universe and calling for love and parents and children around the world. Go to the cinema and watch a good show together.
After 13 years, Dolly's story calls for love again on the big screen. When young Dolly came out, she told us that she had short-term amnesia, but her parents actually offered to play hide-and-seek with her! (It is worth mentioning here that parents’ educational attitude towards children with congenital defects is worthy of our study and reflection). And something happened in this game, which was not unexpected, and then the family search was staged. During the process of family search, Dolly met many new friends. These strange sea creatures are all good in nature. They are all selfless and unconditionally helping the forgetful Dolly. To talk about the villains in this film, there are only humans. The various biological researches they have developed make it more and more difficult for the babies in the ocean to survive. It reflects the ugliness and greed of human beings from the side. Of course, these settings inevitably have the suspicion that they are set up to increase the plot points.
Finally, let's talk about the cute little animals in the film. In addition to the three old actors Dolly, Nemo and Marlin, the first to stand out is probably the big red octopus Hank! Not at all inferior to the sloth in Zootopia. (ps, in the Chinese version, it seems to be dubbed by Ma Dong, hahaha) Its special skill - changing color, helps Dolly escape the predicament many times, and also makes the film a lot more interesting. Beluga's special skills also attracted a lot of calls. It is a pair with the ambly-sighted whale shark. Although it is huge, it subverts its viciousness in reality and sells it very cute. In addition, sea lions, fur seals, turtles, and a strange bird are all comedians, so I won't go into details here.
Although there are many bright spots, it is a fast-food cartoon after all. However, we cannot blindly evaluate the fruits of collective labor with a critical eye. I also always believe that "the best things always happen by chance", which is true in the production of cartoons, and even more so in life.
