2020 is a special year full of opportunities and challenges at the same time.
Movies, as an important way of entertainment for the general public, have suffered a heavy blow this year.
Many movies choose to broadcast online because they cannot be released in cinemas, resulting in serious loss of commercial income of many movies.
Among them, even the wealthy Disney is very anxious, so it has also established its own streaming media platform Disney+.
Even so, Disney's life is not easy this year. After the live-action movie "Mulan", which was shot at a huge cost, has undergone several changes to its release, the box office has been bleak. And "The Fantastic Adventures of Artemis," which Disney sees as a possible continuation of the "Harry Potter" mythology, is a mess.
After all, a high-profile "½ Magic" was also severely annihilated at the box office because it couldn't land on the theater.
In fact, in the face of many difficulties and obstacles, Disney has never given up its yearning for beauty and happiness.
On December 4th, the fantasy film "The Magical Godmother" produced by Disney will be released.
To be precise, it should be online, because the film chose to play directly on Disney's own streaming platform Disney+.
"The Magic Godmother" is starring the post-80s actress Jillian Bell. Compared with many previous Disney films, the film is very inconspicuous in terms of production scale and cast, which is typical Made at low cost.
Gillian Bell starred in the film as Eleanor, the intern magic fairy godmother. The fairy godmother was originally a profession to help humans achieve happiness, but she was facing a crisis of unemployment.
Eleanor, who has always been full of longing and hope for the future of the fairy godmother's profession, in order to save the Magic Academy, bravely ventured into the world and helped a girl named Mackenzie fulfill her dream of pursuing happiness.
But "reality is always crueler than dreams"!
Eleanor's enthusiasm was poured into a pot of cold water by the reality of human society.
When Eleanor found out that MacKenzie was no longer the innocent 10-year-old girl she used to be, she still tried her best to let MacKenzie embark on the ideal life she once dreamed of. It worked.
Not only did she become a successful magic godmother, but she also saved the magic godmother academy.
It's such a not-so-novel story, and it's also Disney's usual family-friendly story mode routine.
It is precisely this cold winter that brings us bursts of warmth.
First of all, Gillian Bell, who plays Eleanor, is very joyful and friendly. She plays a vital role in reconciling the overall atmosphere of the film, and also makes an indelible contribution to the construction of this warm story that conveys positive energy. contribution.
In fact, I am very puzzled that such a conventional Disney family movie has also made many people irresistible to be fans.
But that's also the magic of Disney.
