A good cartoon is best for adults and children to have their own. I think "Snow Monster Adventure" is such a kind. Snow monster, wouldn't it be a little scary to have the word "weird"? But in this movie, the snow monsters are all very cute, and each one looks like a white pet plush toy, so children will definitely like it, and of course adults will not hate it. At the story level, the snow and ice world of the snow monsters is very novel, and the snow monsters sing and dance happily; then there is a series of adventurous actions of the snow monster Mi Guo and Mi Qi entering the human world, running and jumping everywhere, the snow monster rice Qi also learned to swing the inflatable man from side to side, which must be fun for children. This is the part that can bring fun to children. At this level, adults can of course find a kind of simple and pure happiness, but the setting of the story can also make adults think more.
1. The so-called well-meaning "lie"
At the beginning of the movie, we can see that on the top of a snow-capped mountain above a cloud layer, the snow monsters live simple and happy lives. There is a secluded Taohuayuan, and the snow monsters are Taoyuan people who do not care about the world. In this world, they have their own worldview. For example, the rising of the sun is the result of the bell ringer hitting the bell with his head. Is it denying the existence of the Littlefoot (the name for human beings) in the world. But unfortunately, this secret was discovered one day by the snow monster Migo, who happened to meet a human who was in a plane crash. Why are humans called littlefoot? Because compared to snow monsters, humans are simply too small and Q. For the first time, I found that feet can be so cute! Ha ha.
But the stone guard, the village chief, would not admit what Migo had seen and heard, and even after Migo ventured to find the human Percy to go up the mountain, he still wanted to cover up the truth with lies. In order to convince Miguo to stop "dazzling people", the village chief took Miguo into the mysterious Shoushi cave. It turns out that the village chief has long known the existence of humans, and the ancestors of the snow monsters even lived on the ground with humans, but after being injured by humans, the snow monsters moved to the top of the snow-capped mountains where humans cannot survive. And in order to prevent the descendants of the snow monsters from coming into contact with terrifying humans, they used the movement of rocks to create thick clouds, so that the clansmen could not see the world under the mountain at all, and fundamentally denied the existence of humans.
Migo is shocked and saddened to learn the truth. He was also afraid that his people would be poisoned by humans, so he tampered with his previous testimony against his will, and let the village chief put the dying human Bo Xi in a cave. It turned out that Mickey, who had trusted him so much, felt extremely sad, and she decided to send the humans back down the mountain.
2. I don't understand, so I'm afraid
This film is mainly from the snow monster's point of view. Snow monsters are full of curiosity about the human world, and they have absolutely no intention of hurting human hearts. There is a small clip in the film that is particularly interesting: the snow monster Migo and the human Bosie hid in a cave when they encountered a blizzard. Unexpectedly, the bear family lived in the cave. Percy's desperate roar alarmed a mother bear, the size of the snow monster. The snow monster Migo came to the rescue, only to find that the mother bear was only complaining that they disturbed the sweet dreams of her husband and children, so that the only free time she had been a mother for six months was ruined by them! The Yeti even said sorry for the interruption, and the mother bear angrily hoped that they would not show up again. It is better to be polite! ! This is simply a living example of not being able to judge the essence of things just by looking at them.
Snow monsters are too huge for humans, and they can crush small humans with just one little finger, so it is normal for humans to be afraid of them. Because as long as the snow monster wants to hurt human beings in any way, human beings cannot resist it with their own physical bodies. Therefore, the snow monster can only be subdued with various weapons, tools, and equipment. Of course, humans are destroying the world using their own wisdom and greed. If they really want to destroy the Yeti, there must be a way. Just look at the obediently tamed whales in the aquarium. Humans always have a way to think of ways to subdue each other for their own sake. Percy himself is also faced with such a choice. Should he use the Yeti to continue his return to the peak of fame, or should he really care about the friendship he has established with the Yeti? Is it to let the snow monster Migo be caught for human research or viewing, or to help him return to a free life?
Going back to the fear of humans or snow monsters, it is mainly because the two sides do not understand each other and do not know each other's goals and intentions. The first reaction of human beings when they see the snow monster is to scream and frighten, and then they run away. In fact, whether it is Snow Monster Migo or Miqi, they all have a strong curiosity about the human world, and they also think that humans are so cute, but an accidental gesture of wanting to hug will knock people to the ground. They had no intention of attacking, they just wanted to understand the world. But humans don't understand, so the first reaction is to preempt monsters .
By getting along with the snow monsters such as Mi Go and Mickey, it is possible for the two different species, humans and snow monsters, to know each other correctly. The last scene of the movie actually made me cry. The stubborn village chief finally understands that fear cannot be truly eliminated through lies, so he decides to take the initiative to walk down the snowy mountain to reconcile with mankind. Seeing such a group of behemoths, human beings are still waiting, but after all, someone came out from behind the shield, and then more and more people stood beside the snow monsters. The snow monsters extended their sincere palms to welcome you brave and friendly human beings. So ushered in the elimination of misunderstandings and estrangements...
This is the happy ending of the cartoon. After all, the children can't be disappointed. And how cruel the real world is and how many wars there are, our human reflection should not stop. Getting to know each other is always the first step. Just like a joke I heard a long time ago, it is said that a guest on a show in Taiwan boldly said that we mainlanders can't even eat tea eggs! How closed or misunderstood is this in order to have such an understanding! And don't judge the essence of things only by appearances, such as the angry mother bear, which opened her mouth to eat Percy, after all, she needs emotional after being deprived of the only chance in six months. Cathar! ! (The mothers must feel the same, there is a snicker here)
