Absolutely 5 stars for the picture! The characters' movements, expressions, the movements of the paper soldiers, the scenery, and the leaves are all done very delicately and smoothly, and the stop-motion animation has a very small sense of pause. When I think that this was shot frame by frame, I feel like a bunker! In terms of graphics, it's the best stop motion animation I've ever seen (better than the ghost mother before Laika Studios).
But the integrity of the film's plot and storytelling problems are too obvious. In the opening 15 minutes, once the impact of the stop-motion animation passed, the weakness of the plot came out...
1. What is the reason why Jiubao must go home at night? Is it because the big boss can be seen wherever the moonlight finds it? Or is it because there is her magic next to the mother to protect the son from the big boss? Should I explain it anyway?
2. Why did the little paper man know where the Three Treasures were?
3. Scarabs dived to find a sword, caught a fish and came up? ! ? ! In order to make the protagonist suck for a minute, make the younger brother so unreliable? ! ? ! Little brother is too casual!
4. The plot is quite Japanese, just like the hot-blooded Japanese anime! Upgrade to pick up special equipment all the way, and fight more advanced bosses all the way.
5. Can the soul of the dead be summoned by folding a paper lantern? The story should be explained anyway. In the end, he defeated the big boss with this, too casual!
6. In the end, I didn't see the use of the three pieces of equipment! Is it only the sword of the Three Treasures that can cut Grandpa? Director, you have to let us understand. It's not good to have to supplement the plot to make the logic make sense. I beat my aunt and grandpa by playing the piano. Love and affection are the big tricks! Then why are you looking for 3 treasures?
There are too many pits in the plot, and the brain can't fill it up. How did this get nominated for the Golden Globe Award...
