In the movie, Winnie's father is a very ignorant and pedantic ruler. However, all he cares about is the cheese in his tasting room, and he thinks about pleasure all day long, but he doesn't know that his white haired son, who symbolizes power, has been missed by others for a long time. When various emergencies happened, I thought he would deal with the emergencies, but all he cared about was his cheese, which made people a bit ironic and at the same time had to ponder that this situation is not completely uncommon in real life. It exists, but the movie makes it more exaggerated and more artistic.
The film's portrayal of the villain "Mr. Red Hat" is also very successful. He sacrificed everything for power. Some people say that he is not wrong. He has always insisted on his dream and only worked hard for that white hat. It's just not the right way.
Eggs said something very touching, when he finally wanted to stop Mr. Red Hat from continuing to work hard: He said that no matter where you live or what you wear, you are you and can't be changed (roughly speaking, I ca n’t remember the specifics)
Stop-motion clay animation is also quite expensive and labor-intensive to do. Every action, even every expression of a character, a slight blink, takes a long time. It is not easy to make a movie. Although I have never studied stop-motion animation, I don’t know how hard it is to make such a film, but I also deeply feel the hard work of the production team, and I am really moved. It seems to be a very rare work of conscience! highly recommended
