Count the keywords of "Legend of Magic Strings" on the Internet: "Five years of sharpening a sword", "The pinnacle of stop-motion animation", "Zootopia", "Oscar's best picture rival", "American Wang Sicong", "Oriental", "Magic", "Teens Fighting Monsters"...
It is not difficult to see that this is an animated film with high audience expectations, a conventional story of "justice defeating evil", an unconventional expression technique, The audience may not only pass on the work, but also the ingenuity behind the work. After all, there are not many people who are practically engaged in art these days. From the five years of this film and the cost of 500 million, these data are enough to show that Leica Studio's work. Be attentive.
Going back to the film itself, although I don’t really like the animated films of fighting and killing, I always feel that for children, I hope they can watch more Disney cartoons and Hayao Miyazaki’s in their carefree time. Aesthetic, those values, gains and losses in the adult world should be left to them to discover when they grow up.
After talking about the creative background of the film, let's take a look at the story. Kubo, the one-eyed boy, embarked on an adventure in order to crack the family secret. In the film, Kubo was injured by one eye since he was a child, but he is still optimistic and brave. With the company of his mother, Kubo began to grow into a magical boy. His two-stringed violin can let the paper tell stories. stories, but real. The enemy came to the door, and the boy with amazed bones finally teamed up with a monkey and a giant beetle to fight monsters and level up all the way, and finally became a young hero with mysterious power.
The ending of the story must be a reunion where justice defeats evil, which is also in line with the happiness that animation brings to people. Although stop-motion animation attracts attention with its imperfections, the ending must be perfect, so I want to bring children to the cinema. Friends can rest assured~ You can also let your baby see what an animation that took 5 years to create looks like. By the way, tell your baby that as long as you focus on one thing, it will definitely succeed. Of course, in addition to focusing on "naughty" and "eating".
A stop-motion animation with high audience expectations, with a freshness rating of over 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, it should be a pretty good movie, and it is recommended for the whole family to watch the movie together. At the same time, it is also recommended that children's shoes majoring in animation go to worship and study. Although we may not be able to spend 500 million to make an animation now, you may be the animation masters of tomorrow~ Stop motion animation is still a great test of technology, let's learn together Come on~!
