Old souls in fashionable shells

After watching it, my first impression is that this is a particularly "now" movie.

It’s not like using the protagonist to observe the novelty and interest of the Internet society through the eyes of the protagonist in "Invincible Destruction King 2."

But directly, living in it:

Observe with filters-

Describe with stickers-

Express appreciation with attention——

Finally, use the self-made sand sculpture video, "Use magic to defeat magic".

After entering the ranks of social animals, I like this kind of funny line of madness more and more.

With the right irony in the absurdity,

The itching is the mildest level of soreness.


This style is obviously more suitable for Cult’s plot,

Destroying the world like "The Cabin in the Woods" is completely acceptable.

However, it probably takes into account the audience. The theme is the very common "parent/child value conflict and relationship reconciliation" in cartoons. Every time the relationship between the characters is pushed forward, I can think of a similar cartoon:

The dispute between father and daughter——

Brave (2012)
7.6
2012 / United States / comedy animation fantasy / Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Pucher/ Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson

In order to repair the relationship and start an adventure-

1/2 magic (2020)
7.6
2020 / United States / Comedy Animation Fantasy / Dan Scanlon / Tom Herland Chris Pratt

Unity after reconciliation--

Crazy Primitive (2013)
8.7
2013 / United States/ Comedy Animation Adventures/ Kirk de MikoChris Sanders/ Nicholas Cage Emma Stone

Even the villain who was madly retaliated after being abandoned by humans, I thought of "Toy Story 3"...

Consistency of the motif does not actually mean repetition or boring.

It's just that in this movie, when I peeled off such an interesting shell enthusiastically and found that it was still a standard cartoon, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The director has brought into full play the style of "Weird Town",

The characters are just the 3D of "Small Town", and the settings at the beginning of the film are even similar.

Why don't you be a little bit crazy anymore.

Forget that Disney, go home with NetFly.
