From the beginning of the trailer, I like this weird cartoon-like a colorful version of "Zombie Bride" or "Ghost Mother". So as soon as the high-definition version was released, I downloaded it and watched it. Fortunately, after everyone and the shooter were gone, the subtitles searched back were very good, and they could perfectly match the raw meat. Maybe in the future there will be more days of DIY cooking.
Adopting the common description method of "in the past, there was a..." in feature films, the advantage is that the theme can be introduced naturally, and in the middle, it can also be a gag, and finally it can be a small egg like echo. These three films are also considered to be well done.
Since it is an animated cartoon aimed at younger audiences, the separation of good and evil roles is logical-at this point, the film gave me a big surprise. The good and evil characters in this film (let’s become a goddess fairy and a male fairy for the time being) can be distinguished by clothing (too distinguishable, I really like the gorgeous costume of the goddess and the candle filled with candles), but the language of behavior is actually different. It's not very big. Basically, they are arguing with each other, and there is no decent righteousness or the villain's wretchedness and nausea. The spokespersons chosen by the gods and goddesses are also good brothers from childhood. Even when they grow up, their behaviors in order to compete for the love of the heroine only give people the impression of being jealous. This dilutes the setting of role opposition, although the target audience of the film is slightly older, but it also increases the goodwill of adults watching.
It may be the reason for the limited space of the cartoon. I felt that the initial preparation was not very sufficient, and the protagonist's growth path was also taken in a stroke, a little hurried. But you can't delve into it too much. When it comes to points, just have a little meaning.
Another classic cartoon element included in the film is the song and dance bridge segment. Speaking of this, the film is generally done. The lyrics are relatively straightforward, and it doesn't seem to be too rhyming, and the tune is not catchy. Fortunately, this kind of bridge is not too much. But it should be explained that the tension in one of the bridge sections is quite sufficient, that is, the section where the male protagonist is fighting the bull in the underworld. Even in the moment of life and death, the male protagonist did not lose himself, and chose to use his own way to redeem the pain caused by his ancestors in the bullfight, which can be regarded as the most exciting part of the whole article.
Finally, let's talk about the joke settings. As a cartoon, there must be some laughter, and it is better to have more. At this point, the level of the film can only be regarded as average. There are laughter points, but there is no place that makes people breathless. There are also some suspicions of "forcibly squeaking you so you have to laugh".
As a novel cartoon, its style provides enough entertainment for the audience to watch it, and its performance in other aspects is quite satisfactory. It is still competent as a pastime when boring. Nowadays, when the style of cartoons is more and more towards the real 3D style of Pixar and DreamWorks, it is also a good thing that such a sudden emergence can be seen. Give 7 points.
