All are cartoons, all have seas, all have "gods", and all have received universal praise on the screen... They have similar characteristics, similar strengths, and similar weaknesses.
The first is the plot. The story of "Big Fish and Begonia" is extremely badly told. The heroine is literally portrayed as a virgin whore. There is no villain in the story. The protagonist and the extras are messing around together. "Song of the Sea" also has plot deficiencies, such as no climax, the villain is "false", and the previous foreshadowing and suspense turned into long and cumbersome after the repentance scene of the owl witch. The lack of plot makes people unable to enjoy it.
Then there is the construction of the fantasy world. The fantasy worlds in "Song of the Ocean" and "Big Fish and Begonia" are both grand, and their instincts allow for a lot of details and tension. On the other hand, the explanations in them are slightly empty. The "ordinary world" in "Big Fish and Begonia" borrows elements from most traditional Chinese myths, literary works and architecture with Chinese characteristics. Pulling hard on the set. (I also want to give an example, but I really have no impression of the movie, but I thought about this issue in the nights after watching the movie, and I have this impression.) If you can build that world into a solid and a system, I believe It's going to help the story a lot, even making a sequel is fine. In "Song of the Sea", there are both the human world and the elf world. Why is the giant grief-stricken, what is the origin of the owl witch, do many elves have their own areas of management, since Bronach is an elves, how did Bronach marry a human, and she still has to leave after giving birth to a child. Why... a lot about the elves Questions were not answered. However, this question has found a "credible explanation": "Song of the Sea" is adapted from Irish folklore, and the Irish may not need these explanations to find resonance, just as we don't need a lot of explanations to understand "The Great" The Return of the Holy Spirit.
Personally, I like the painting style of "Song of the Sea" more, and I also think that "Song of the Sea" is better in terms of sophistication. In addition, "helping" people by depriving emotions is a good proposition, and it can be as profound as what is discussed in "The Matrix".
