"Looking for Mysterious Village" is a return to "The Smurfs". What it does is no longer to link the real world with the Smurfs, but to return to the cartoonist Peyo and his wife. The original story of the Smurfs in the pen, and this return in the particularly beautiful and exquisite special effects makes the world of the Smurfs more vivid, but on the other hand, as a Hollywood animation, the film does not give people much in terms of plot. surprise.
Returning to the most authentic form of the Smurfs is undoubtedly a wise choice for the film, because after the adventures of New York and Paris, applying the previous template again will inevitably make the film fall into the dilemma of just constantly frying and serving rice. It's better to close the door again and return to that pure fairy tale world. This time, with Sister Lan as the protagonist, although the plot is too routine, and you can even clearly see a lot of references to "Avatar", it is such an animation, but through many details The finely carved sucking pecks are still fascinating.
Throughout the whole film, a journey of chasing me with the villain, a reversal of justice that must win, can already cover the entire plot of the film, but the details of "Finding the Mysterious Village" are made through the scoop that can record and take pictures. Insects, fluorescent rabbits at night, fire-breathing dragonflies, etc., a series of unrestrained supporting characters make the film's old-fashioned adventure more interesting, and the other side of the film is particularly beautiful and bizarre. The fantasy land of the smurfs also makes the film people visually willing to integrate into the world of the Smurfs.
Although "Finding Mystery Village" has an interesting adventure and is particularly well-made, these are still not enough to cover up the shortcomings of the film's plot, compared with masterpieces such as Disney's "Crazy Animals" or "Inside Out" , the return of the Smurfs undoubtedly seems to be too much inferior. In the expression of the theme proposition of the movie, it still relies on the protagonist's powerless and straightforward preaching, and the American theme of "you can be who you want to be", It is even more difficult to make too much praise. The story structure that is too low-level is actually the crux of the gradual decline of this popular series in the past.
Generally speaking, "The Smurfs: Finding the Mysterious Village" can only be described as quite satisfactory. This movie does not let people see any new vitality, and it relies more on a return from feelings.
