This is a coming-of-age story about the short-lived artist careers of three lovely young chipmunks, both brilliant and confused. It's nothing more than losing yourself in vanity, ignoring people who really care about them, and discovering the beauty of life only after overdrafting. If such a story is used in a live-action version, it is estimated that it will be drowned in saliva. How can you endure the old-fashioned and boring plot. But with three chipmunks who are not afraid of strangers and can't keep quiet, it will be much more fun. Their trouble-making skills are gigantic and even hateful, but their cute and young behaviors full of humanity can't help but laugh. .
I have never liked the combination of cartoons and live-action mode. The animated characters can be designed as they please, but the state of the real people cannot be faked. It is quite awkward to have the actors face the nothingness and imagine what the other party might look like, and then cooperate with them to do the actions and say the lines. You can always find a lot of dissonance in the final film. The expression of the real person is unnatural, the movements are stiff, and the slightly rough production can even make the animation and the real person not fit together. And the combination of the two, it is difficult to have a good story, it is just these types of films, hate to like, evil to fun. Fortunately, there are not many films, it can be seen that it is not mainstream, and the audience is also very picky.
Maybe we don't know much about these three chipmunks. In Laomei, they are ancient characters of more than half a century. Although the plot is mediocre, it also attracted a lot of box office. Recalling the previous two "Garfield" films, which were also live-action plus animation and comic book adaptations, they were not recognized, especially the second film was bleak at the box office. To be honest, in comparison, I still prefer "Garfield". Maybe this is the influence of my childhood. After all, I am familiar with this cheap cat.
