When you look cute, you have friends

"Penguins of Madagascar", as a work produced by DreamWorks, first of all tries its best to show a very individual style in the characters. It seems that only people who are cute can have friends. People who really can't be cute are very selfish, very personal and heroic. They don't care about other people's feelings. The four penguin cute masters, the boss, Koski, Rui Ge and the rookie, are not only strong and brave, but also very smart and friendly. But because the penguins all look alike, the distinguishability is not very high, on the contrary, only the rookie features are prominent. In fact, through the shaping of characters, the reversal of the plot, and the embellishment of 3D effects, this kind of animation film is obviously easy to attract the attention of the audience. It may be that the TV version of "Penguins of Madagascar" has already been played on the screen. On the contrary, the compressed version of the film has not Let the children like it, cute pets are a trend, but if it is too vulgar, it will not be so popular.

There are several plot settings in the film that I personally think are good. The development of a super villain is not for no reason. The changes of Dave, the crazy octopus, are actually quite unbearable. This brother is deprived of himself due to the appearance of four penguins. Thousands of pets, from then on bury the scourge. The psychological change of Dave Octopus is actually very real. It easily reminds us of the stories in those palace fight dramas. In order to gain the emperor's favor, a concubine uses all kinds of dirty and despicable methods. As a result, the fittest survives. Those who can understand current affairs achieve favor. Of course, Dave is different from ordinary concubines. The whole heart of this octopus Dave has been extremely distorted. The creation of this character is a bit like a geek in disguise. His appearance is as jaw-dropping as his inner world. Because of the rain, the mind is dark.

In order to show the cuteness and cuteness, kindness and justice of the four penguins, the portrayal of the villain Dave, the octopus, can be said to be relatively successful. Because of his strength and evil, he can highlight that the growth of the four penguins is not easy, as the saying goes. It is said that the rainbow can only be seen after the wind and rain. The appearance of the North Wind Secret Service also makes people feel unreliable. The secret agents headed by secrets can only fight for four penguins at most. Their self-righteous strategy has no operational feasibility at all, so the four penguins have to stand on their own. Self-improvement, there is no savior in the world, only oneself can save oneself.

The film seems to deliberately reverse the term rookie. The rookie among the four penguins is the smallest and cutest. He is obviously not the core character in the eyes of the other penguins. Through the efforts and courage of the rookie, the film saves the other penguin brothers and the North Wind Secret Service. , and finally exerted his wisdom and wisdom, smashed Dave the octopus's conspiracy and tricks, and restored many penguins to their true colors. Although the rookie helped many people become themselves, he himself became different. The other penguin brothers comforted him that appearance is not a person's virtue, only bravery seems to be the source of others' respect. The film gave full play to the sensational effect of positive energy. The rookie sacrificed his normality to safeguard the interests of more people. This is like those heroes who acted bravely. Although he lost more than his gains, he became a hero in the eyes of many people.

There are still Chinese elements in the film, that is, the four penguins came to Shanghai, but the regional characteristics are not very obvious, except for the bridge section of the news broadcast in Chinese. The embarrassing journey of this "Penguin of Madagascar" is a bit like our mainland movies "Thailand" and "Heart Flowers". Of course, the above two films did not fight to the death, nor did there appear powerful villains. , In fact, it is somewhat similar to "Rio Adventure 2" and "Despicable Me 2".
