Maybe it's a bit high and disappointing. I can only give three points.
From a technical level and an artistic level, this film is almost impeccable. 3D modeling is the same as puppet rigging. The colors of many scenes are matched with character design. There is nothing to say about the scene design,
but the soul of the film lies in the quality of the story and the way you tell it. The way the story is told, this film feels too Hollywood (I don't even know where it was filmed).
Why is it that after watching it in Hollywood, I feel that the plot is no different from the oriental themes of Kung Fu Panda Mulan that were filmed in the United States! ! ! A plot carved out of a mold. The protagonist is inexplicably shouldered a heavy responsibility. With the help of various species, he gradually grows up. The old-fashioned plot of defeating the big devil will not end unexpectedly at all, but it is such a plot. The crew actually thought it over seriously A year or so? ! (In an interview, they mentioned that they had to work on the plot for about a year before starting the actual shooting.) The fact that
the plot progresses too quickly is also a disadvantage. The dung beetle and the monkey start flirting without knowing who each other is. I can't help but complain. Do you have to add this to your production team? Or can you lay the groundwork more carefully?
At the end, the grandfather woke up from the monster and the villagers came out to encourage him and I kept giggling at that time. This ending also fooled the children.
When the whole plot was not good, the list of producers was put on the screen. At that time, all I could think of were the sharp and funny rants of the dung beetles.
Another thing that I don't think is enough is that the atmosphere of the soundtrack also gives me the same feeling. Every time a small climax, the majestic background music will sound with you. All the soundtracks I heard in other animations seem to be the same, as if this soundtrack appeared, of course you expected it to be standard, nothing new, especially in theaters, I just found it noisy
But there are two soundtracks in the film that made my eyes shine. Not long after the beginning, when kubo was telling stories on the street, the cheerful little tunes full of oriental flavors and my guitar gentlely weeps at the end of the film unexpectedly matched the guitar and shamisen
. After all, it is the old beauty who went to shoot in Japan. No matter how Oriental is dressed, it is also the values of Westerners.
