Same recipe, familiar taste

As a standard Hollywood animated film, there really isn't much to say about "The Fastest Snail" itself. The technology is excellent, the themes, characters, and stories are all Hollywood's usual routines, and then integrates elements such as dreams, family affection, and funny, appropriate plot ups and downs, must have sublimation and lyricism, and finally a happy ending. It’s still the same recipe and familiar taste, just use a new animal template, change the background environment, add Mexican amigo flavor seasoning, a set of global customization standards, and a cultural burger created by a mature assembly line will be presented in front of you. By the way, the merchants will say that this is an extraordinary burger, and they will make advertisements that are even more creative than the "product" itself, telling you that this is a brand-new research and development, adding traditional ancient methods, and selling for a limited time "Mexico". Flavorful Pastoral Snail Fort".

For today's Hollywood animation, technology is difficult to act as a threshold, and no innovation will inevitably disappoint people. Of course, adults can still bring their children into the theater with confidence, without worrying about any weird plots that scare the children, and children can still get endless joy from the movies. It's just that when a group of adults sit in the theater and the old man's snoring fills your ears, you have to start acting to think about boring issues outside of movies. You may even think that the remarks of the champion racing driver who is not a villain in the movie are some kind of truth: the story of a small person who has made great achievements is just the best placebo for the mediocre, the story is over, and everyone still has to return to reality. .

In the end, the protagonist will definitely fight back against the arrogance of the driver with practical actions, with a loud slap in the face. But ask yourself, in the face of ridicule, do you have the ability to stage such a counterattack? What kind of opportunity is needed to create a miracle, or even if there is an abyss ahead, as long as you move forward bravely and fearlessly, success will indeed come? The snail with the halo of the protagonist can possess magical powers just by falling into the car. With a flash of inspiration, he can suddenly become cheerful and break through the encirclement. There are also a group of friendly and witty but willing to be green leaves. Wait for the stars to hold the moon, and the protagonist will be crowned as the champion. But reality has taught us that it is not easy to get a success, even if we accumulate silently or even risk our lives, we may not get what we want. If victory is so easy and taken for granted, then everyone can experience it for themselves, so why spend two hours running to the cinema to dream about life? Regarding the cruelty of reality, the most direct example is the movie itself, which was carefully planned for several years and invested heavily, but caught up with the wave of animation movies in 2013, resulting in a fiasco at the box office.

Of course, this is just the random thoughts of a boring adult for a while. As an animated film for children, there is no reason to demand that it must have depth and novelty. All in all, the movie brings the audience to a happy ending without any suspense. There are still various interesting and interesting settings in the process to make people laugh. 3D also brings the technical advantages of the movie into full play. The advantage of industrialization is that the details of the film can also be well polished, so that those little thoughts can be successfully transformed into small surprises. This is not a delicacy, but it will not spoil the appetite of diners. Especially the idyllic section at the beginning of the movie, with plenty of jokes and a slow rhythm, the story is more pleasing than the powerful climax of the second half. To say without prejudice, this year's DreamWorks has encountered great successes and failures from the sky to the earth. "Crazy Primitives" has a huge box office with zero negative reviews, while "Speed ​​Snail" has a mediocre reputation. However, just like "Crazy Primitives" is not good enough to be on the altar, "Speed ​​Snail" is definitely not a failure, but "Cars" is in front, just in time for the swarming release of animation blockbusters, and itself A slightly mediocre situation led to the current embarrassing situation.


For an animated film that wants to sell well all over the world, child-friendly family fun is naturally a solid strategy, but attracting as many adult audiences as possible is the guarantee of a big hit. And adults don't need to be taught cheap success in the guise of "chasing dreams". Only serious stories and new ideas can make movies stand out in the increasingly fierce competition of cartoons. In any case, we are still hoping to see a completely unpredictable ending, just like the "Shrek" that was also produced by DreamWorks back then - the prince and princess of your uncle, we are two big clowns Strange to live happily ever after.
