It's also a talent to speak irony in a way that's eloquent and sweet.

There are so many "since ancient times" and so many "conventions" in the world.

It seems that adults have given up on how to take the initiative to break those rigid and silent rules and orders, and have to arrange too many ironic plots and stories into cartoons, hoping to have some educational significance for the next generation.

I hope that when you grow up, you can stop sticking to prejudice,
hope that you can grow up to be harmonious and friendly, and
hope that you can grow up to be honest and kind.

They grow up, but they don't necessarily become what we expect, no prejudice, integrity, kindness, harmony and friendliness.

The world is not as simple and solid as the world of animation, and we want them to see it as beautiful, and at the same time, we want them to understand the complexities of the real world.

Stupid us, blind and arrogant.

The perseverance and perseverance learned in "Zootopia", the ideal and the utopia of justice they saw, still face the threshold and test of reality. The same is true of "Aet the Bear and the Senna Mouse". Children find it interesting, and adults find it fascinating. Even if there are prejudices, this fresh world can be broken in the end. Taking off the coat of romanticism, it is full of satire.

This watercolor painting is so light that romance overflows the screen. The big bears live on the ground and the little mice live on the ground. They are mutually exclusive, although they don't know the reason, but everyone says so, this is "traditional" ".

The little mice are all expected to become dentists, and the compulsory course is to smuggle bear teeth into the world, so Senna met Aite Bear, a kind and friendly mouse who loves art who does not know how to fear. A greedy, honest, warm and cute bear who loves art.

The budding of friendship is to face the willfulness and challenges of two traditional and stubborn worlds.

After watching a series of 3D animations with shocking pictures and exciting scenes, the rare watercolor hand-painted style, coupled with the almost perfect music and animation details, makes it hard not to feel emotional, this group of French romantic Those who are willing to walk behind the times are the real artists.

They use a mouse that can draw and a bear that can sing and play to advocate the soul exchange of the art world, to express the excess and restraint of secular labels, to show emotion and id, and to attack old-fashioned restraints and rules.

It's such a gift to paint sarcastic words so beautifully and beautifully.

In this world, laws may be blind, rules may be unreasonable, prejudices may be stubborn, and people's hearts may be vicious.

But in the end, the law will be lenient, the rules will be refreshed, prejudice will be broken, and hearts will return to warmth.

What a utopia that is both realistic and surreal.

The children saw the tenacity of friendship and the value of kindness, and the adults felt the irony, courage and hope of reality.

In this complex environment, we are sometimes beautiful and sometimes gloomy and contradictory. What we need from time to time is such a well-built world, which can give us some sunshine when we are sad, and show us some beauty when we are dark. When the world view is refreshed by reality again and again, we are fed with a big jar full of hope.

We hope that the children can also have a deep understanding, and then aspire to be a brave and beautiful person. However, children are still children, and they may not understand the restored and detached world that the film has painstakingly built, but at least they can learn "friendship", "persistence", and some lessons from Senna and Aite Bear. "Beautiful little warmth" in the art world.

And "resist" and "break" are for us adults who are always complicated and weak.

We should really be grateful to these innocent, romantic, mature and talented artists. If it weren't for them, we really don't know how to explain to children what "brave" means in this often sinister world. Explain what is "goodness" here, and what is "art" in this world that is always materialistic.
