Indeed, as other high praise comments have said, the plot has little ups and downs, the plot is easy to guess, and the overall is very straightforward and universal fairy tale. But my viewing experience is: satisfaction.
Maybe because of age gradually, I have deeply experienced the three-dimensional human nature in reality, and I have seen many profound works, but I feel that this kind of plot and performance is very healing.
The plot is compact and not procrastinating, the transitions are not abrupt, the acting lines are not awkward, and the laughter is dense. Humans often have a cruel side, so the story borrows animals, children, and the somewhat mad Dolittle to show pure kindness and love. The children were having a good time, and I believed it to be true. In my mind, at this stage of cognition, really only children, animals and lunatics would go on such an adventure for something like that.
The work has many shadows. For example, at the beginning, Dolittle lost his lover, and the little male protagonist broke into the forbidden area, which reminded me of Flying House Travels. The whole story also feels like a younger version of Pirates of the Caribbean. But after reading it, the witty and strong parrot, the cold polar bear, the lazy ostrich, the bad dragonfly, and the unconfident orangutan all left a deep impression on me. For a few moments, my eyes got watery. One was Dolittle talking to the undead of his lover on the boat, and the other was he comforting the orangutan who couldn't hold the rope.
Maybe each flower has its own eye, and it just hits my heart. I didn't see any previews or reviews before watching this film. I watched it very smoothly. After watching it, I watched Dolittle and the animals live happily in the ending song, and I felt a kind of joy in my heart.
Just like "Ninokuni", its plot is so simple and young, its story line is so ordinary, and its characters are so typical, but when Oliver lost his mother, I still cried and wet the pillow, walking in Ninokuni In the streets and alleys, I still can't help but look carefully at its fairy tale kingdom-like landscape and talk to all the NPCs.
In addition to children, I am probably the audience for this film.
