nice clay animation

To sum up the story told in this film in one sentence: Brave and loyal dogs help their owners who are in a human-rabbit crisis out of their predicaments. The story itself is not new. The main character, a puppy, defeats the bad guys, saves the master and becomes a hero. Although the elements of human rabbits and technological means are added, the whole story is full of suspense and novel atmosphere, but its main purpose is still to express the traditional storyline. At the same time, in this animation, we can see the shadows of many classic movie scenes: Wallace and the rabbit exchange brain waves during the full moon, and at night they transform into the ferocious human rabbit. This concept comes from "Incarnation" The Doctor" and "Wolfman"; the heroine (forgot her name) once said the line in the film: "Run, rabbit, run!" Obviously imitating "Forrest Gump"; and at the end Wallace transformed into The plot of Rabbit climbing to the roof and finally falling from a height is exactly the same as "King Kong". In the current situation where spoofs are prevalent and even flooded, the use of classic bridges has already made people aesthetically fatigued. Therefore, in terms of plot, I think this animation can only be regarded as average.
Watching cartoons is not only about the plot, but also about the picture quality, color and music. What is worth affirming is the level of production of the film as a clay animation. The pictures are smooth and natural, the scenes are complex and meticulous, the characters' movements and expressions are complex and changeable, and they are full of characteristics. As a clay animation, the photographer has to adjust the pose of the characters before shooting each frame. Therefore, it takes a lot of patience to be able to shoot a series of complex movements that are almost the same as real people. It is said that the filming of the animation took four years and thousands of tons of clay. In terms of picture style, this animation highlights its fresh and simple pastoral style, so that this clay animation brings the audience a visual experience different from other three-dimensional animations, making the audience feel refreshing. At the same time, due to the characteristics of clay and the moderate rhythm of the whole animation, the picture is full of insensitivity. Compared with the fast-paced and huge visual impact of some American animation blockbusters, the film is not so sharp and gives a comfortable feeling. Yes, simple and easy to understand feeling.
