There is a familiar perception of "Box Monster", and the metaphorical mockery of social criticism can be seen in the joy of the stop-motion animation. It is similar to the Chinese "Avanti Story" at the time, but now we are not only stagnating, Stop motion animation like ink-and-wash animation has long since disappeared in China, but this most primitive film animation technique is still blooming with its own unique charm.
Today, when 3D animation technology is becoming more and more mature, it takes a lot of time and energy to produce stop-motion animations of scenes and characters. At first glance, it may seem so laborious and thankless, but just like the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki insists on hand-painted animation and gives him a link. The characters are extremely vivid and demanding, and Lycra Animation Studio is also the adherent of the 100-year stop-motion animation dream maker. When a scene of truly well-made character background vivid and elegant stop-motion animation is dedicated to the screen, the unique and realistic look really depends on Computer 3D animation production is incomparable. The slightly dark but delicate texture imaging of the Victorian period is like a declining but elegant wise man. In contrast, today, Disney, Pixar and other big names are compared to who can be cute Even more cute to welcome the audience, "Box Monster" still sticks to the stop-motion animation, telling an enlightening and humorous fable to the audience.
In the movie, the timid, kind and docile box monsters are portrayed as evil man-eaters by ambitious politicians. When rumors cover up the truth, they are even arranged into a stage play. The fear of the unknown makes people full of box monsters. Disgust and hatred, although the rumors are limited to the wise, the public is often unable to stand alone in the face of their strong relationships, while those in power only care about their so-called "noble" white hats and decent cheese life, and their right and wrong about the truth of the incident. Quzhi is even more helpless. When you watch him as an American movie, you will find that the large number of box monsters are like black slaves who were once oppressed. He can not only awaken the sense of resistance of the box monsters at the moment of crisis, but also melt the ice of people's misunderstanding of the box monsters. The metaphors well-known in this animation not only make children happy, but also mock the ignorance of racial discrimination. The prejudice against social class awakens people's creed of freedom and fairness. If the meaning of the film itself is the highlight of the film, then the idiom Xiao He is also defeated by Xiao He. As a child’s animation, the film obviously fails to fully consider the child’s ability to accept it, the rendering of love is rushed, and the relationship between father and son is rushed. , All make the movie emotionally comprehensive but difficult to move. It focuses too much on the manifestation of various metaphors, but it fails to create enough to capture the children’s eyeballs. The limit of stop-motion animation also makes it difficult to have the amazing 3D animation in the end. Visual view, but all of this is just the slight flaw of the film as a masterpiece, and it is not enough to conceal the true nature of the precious jade.
The fixed frame is beautiful, and the fable is respected. When the final egg is drawn, the hardships of the stop-motion animation can not help but awe, and those full of positive energy fables make "Box Monster" more than just a general work of appearance. Personal rating: 8
