Contemporary animation, whether it is stop motion or 3D, strives to create a perfect and smooth picture effect, or the ultimate goal of American animation for a hundred years seems to be like this, and the second is to be funny. Much like the other animations, it lacks punchline and depth. It's not that American animation/film and television don't have such ability. Sometimes I think they are deliberately avoiding punchline instead of continuing to dig. There is a feeling of "the front is shaped, the eunuch is behind", "it may be better if the xxx part is strengthened". So looking at it with such a feeling, the film has a small idea, but it is a bit like a touch of water.
In my opinion, it is actually a pity to spend a lot of money and time and energy to create such a film that makes people "not too many ideas". I think the crew should draw more time and energy to dig and develop the story itself.
The intro and end credits are okay, capturing what the audience is interested in, loneliness, isolation, family troubles and conflicts. However, these developments were not given enough in the process, so that the audience often forgets "how lonely this boy is". It's actually very simple, and it only takes a few small details to shape it better. But for now, this "loneliness" that is intended to run through the whole article is really a bit blunt. It's like he said "there used to be girls who were lonely", but they didn't show up. Instead of thin conversations, give a few shots. Including the part about the little witch, it can give a few fragments of memories of the little witch. Instead of "my mom used to bring me here". To be honest, such a large number of ways that need to be narrated in words is a failure of the film.
Because the emotions you describe in such a bland way can only be bland.
Briefly talk about the part that can continue to expand mining.
Family line, the conflict between Norman and his father, and his sister. Some events can be added to the plot to ease. It wasn't solved all of a sudden, especially when my sister suddenly held Norman's hand so strangely. So abrupt.
Norman's friend, he has no friends, not a single one, but he still has the right to say to the little witch "there will always be someone who cares about you"? How did he have such courage if he was a person who was completely alone and had nothing? The characters are very rigid. In other words, if you want to create a state of "he also has friends, so he knows that the world also has love", then you need to give such a setting in the plot. I think that little fat man is not enough. These two people poor emotional interaction. Actually, I think the interaction with the ghosts is a good idea. Unfortunately, after the first part, these ghosts have been completely forgotten...
Laughs, yes, but a little bit. The expansion of the imagination is not enough.
