When the amateur talent shows all over the world began to go downhill, when the stories of music dreams that were repeated 10,000 times with a highly similar storyline were told rotten, when the word dream became a mantra of Wang Feng, talent shows It is almost equivalent to a miserable show, will you still be moved by something?

In the hearts of many people, I think the answer is still yes, at least the audience of "The Voice of Joy" is almost always such a crowd, and they will still be touched and rejoiced.

It is only certain forms that are bored. As long as the story is told well enough, some media still have moving power, because everyone is similar to each other, ordinary enough, and eager enough to be extraordinary.

The cartoon "The Voice of Joy" is the same as last year's "Zootopia". The story is set in an urbanized animal world. The difference is that the latter's story is more excellent and full of depth of pattern. The Voice is indeed old-fashioned enough to be an animal version of a music talent documentary at best. However, the same is that "The Voice" is as good-looking and fun as "Zootown", and it sounds better.

The movie tells a story like this: Koala, dubbed by Matthew McConaughey, is a theater owner. The theater was founded by his father. It was once brilliant, but now it's not enough. The singing competition in the city has gone through many difficulties, but of course his dream came true in the end, the theater was "destroyed" and "resurrected".

What’s interesting about the movie is that the story doesn’t just revolve around koalas and goes in a single line. A singing contest leads to a dream story about the six candidates, and all the characters have distinct and full personalities. Troubles or conflicts need to be resolved, but in the end they all overcame themselves and sang for themselves, which also made the last "concert" of the movie wonderful.

Elephant’s conflict is with herself. She is an extremely unconfident girl with a god-sent good voice, but she was so nervous that she didn’t dare to open her mouth when she took the stage. Pushing and shoving down the stage, the elephant never dared to fight for a chance to do it all over again;

The conflict between the chimpanzee is with his father. His father is the boss of a robbery gang. The chimpanzee is unwilling to follow his father to engage in such "jobs". He loves to sing, but he does not dare to go against his father's will. The melancholy temperament, fortunately, he has persisted;

Mother Pig is a typical housewife. She has 23 children. Everything in the family is in good order under her control. Her husband works hard and falls asleep when she gets home. No one listens to her thoughts. Mother Pig is confident in her singing voice, but ashamed of her body. What she needs to overcome is the burden of the family and inner balance;

Porcupine is an adolescent girl. At the beginning, she and her boyfriend formed a band to participate in the competition. She was the only one who was selected. The boyfriend valued her and belittled her, thinking that she was only suitable for singing harmony, and could not create music at all.

There are also mice who are extremely conceited and cause trouble everywhere, and the "Mr. Pig" who is naturally optimistic and humorous, also has strong personality characteristics.

Koala led such a team to go through a series of difficulties such as "lack of player performance experience", "broken chain of bonus funds", "crisis of mutual trust", "destroyed theater", etc., and finally dedicated at the end of the film. A lively open-air performance, although only family members of the players in twos and threes acted as the audience at the beginning, the reporters from the TV station arrived just to see a joke. But the contestants who overcame all their respective difficulties gave their best performances.

Mother Pig and "Mr. Pig" partnered in a sexy song and dance, and the husband sitting in the audience was stunned. He never seemed to believe that his wife was so charming; His father said to him: You are my pride; the lovelorn porcupine made his boyfriend in front of the TV feel ashamed with a surging rock and roll; the timid elephant, the sound of nature, won everyone's applause, and his mouse, who used to look down on it, is now The first sound of the elephant sings began to praise again and again.

Yes, this is not such a high-level movie, the plot is not complicated, the story is very simple, from the inside out, it just tells the cliché of dreams. But because of the success of the character creation, the contradictions of each character can correspond to you and me, and this film still has the power to move you and me.

As long as you still believe in the word "dream", and are willing to believe in your life, "The Voice of Joy" will definitely not disappoint you, not to mention that this film is full of unspeakable jokes that make people happy?
