Hmm, it's weird for humans~~~

The Box Monster is a timid, kind-hearted, ingenious monster. From a human point of view, they are monsters. Their hands are fat, but they have only four fingers; the skin is smooth and almost hairless, save for a small clump of "grass" on the top of their heads. So why are they called box monsters? Because they are monsters wearing boxes, they are called "xx" in any kind of boxes. I think they put boxes on like we humans used leaves and animal skins to cover our private parts in the early days. They don't run naked~~ ~
Red Hat, a person who wants to whiten the hat on his head. He longed for the status, power, and cheese that a white hat had. Although cheese could kill him, he felt that his destiny was to become a white hat. Such a character has three subordinates, two of whom still have conscience, and the other is a fanatic, like a fanatic hunter, although he doesn't know what he wants to hunt, he just enjoys the process of hunting. It is these four people who form the "Box Monster Terminator", they want to catch all the Box monsters to help Red Hat achieve his "dream".
In such a big background, a fast-paced clay animation with distinct characters and sincere details of the picture began like this. It may be because of the Creator, there are people, but there are also strange things. These monsters look ugly to us, but they can find useful things in the garbage we throw away and create a fairytale-like underground world. The producer seems to be telling the audience a truth, not to judge "weird" by appearances, and finally, people and monsters get along
harmoniously , what a beautiful wish.
There is no such thing as a good person and a bad person in the world, it's just that their choices are different. It is precisely because of the different choices that lead to different end points. Red Hat is a bad character in the film, and he interprets the end of being blinded by desire very well. Can it be interpreted like this: The Red Hat did not use his talents well, just like a misplaced treasure, it became garbage, and finally dig its own grave. The Red Hat has three highly effective minions, he can convince the whole town of his conspiracy, and finally becomes the White Hat, albeit briefly. Hey, may heaven have his white hat, if he can ascend to heaven smoothly.
Fairy tales are meant to satirize reality, and all kinds of satire in the film are immediate. It is also very interesting to see the world through the eyes of a child. The white hat's daughter doesn't have enough fatherly love, but she can say what she thinks her father is like, and the little boy rescued by the box monster can easily identify all kinds of ugliness when he returns to human society , Haha, naked irony, I guess this is a French film, isn't it, there is a French song at the end that I don't understand at all but it fits the scene~~~
Finally, I borrow a lyric from EASON: If you like weirdos, actually I'm beautiful
