can understand a fairy tale so deeply, which shows his profound skills. In the entire "Fantasy Forest", there is only "Mowgli", a 10-year-old child. All stories revolve around him; all plots rely on him to promote; all truths are extended by him. This is a "fantasy forest", but also a real world. The stories told and the underlying philosophy are more like an allegory of the real world than a simulation of the animal world.

The first point of "Fantasy Forest" is: realistic special effects. In the entire "Fantasy Forest", not only the protagonist "Mowgli", but all other animals and scenes are "special effects" created by technology. This is shocking. It can almost be said that "Fantasy Forest" is a movie made with special effects, but its 3D effect is very good, and the animals are very realistic in both form and expression. The tiger king, the wolf king, the black panther, the brown bear... Every animal floating in front of us can leave a deep impression in our minds.

Of course, no matter how good the special effects are, it is only an auxiliary after all. A really good movie also needs the support of the soul. And the soul of "Fantasy Forest" is the truth it tells. This kind of truth seems to be talking about Mowgli the wolf boy, but it seems to be talking about ourselves. Perhaps, you always feel that you are an alternative, out of tune with the people or environment around you, you want to resist some rules, but you have to follow them; you reject some stereotyped teachings, but you have to accept them. For Mowgli, he rejected the rules of the wolf pack and the teachings of the Black Panther mentor, but he was powerless to argue, so he could only obey and live like a wolf.

But after all, living like a wolf is not what he is good at, nor is he himself. Until one day, he met the brown bear, a friend who loves freedom and is a bit wicked. At first, the brown bear rescued Mowgli from the mouth of the giant snake. He didn't really want to help him, but hoped that he would help himself and mutual "reciprocity". Mutual benefit", but in the process of getting along, the brown bear discovered the uniqueness of Mowgli, until Mowgli used his own method to save an elephant, and the brown bear had already regarded Mowgli as his true friend. The plot behind the fight with the orangutan and the tiger king.

However, in "Fantasy Forest", since the tiger is the king, there is a natural reason to be the king. All animals, including black panthers, brown bears, and wolves, have zero chance of directly conflicting with tigers, even if There is no chance of winning. But fortunately there was Mowgli. In the end, Mowgli used his own methods, using human methods, to kill the Tiger King, an authoritarian forest ruler. The story came to an abrupt end, and many life philosophies were explained, but the most impressive thing was not the tyranny of the Tiger King, nor the unity of the wolves, but Mowgli's finding himself.

To be a werewolf, be a man first, not a wolf. When Mowgli chooses to live in the wolf's way, he is unhappy and has no sense of accomplishment; when he lives in the human way, he is happy and egoistic. In the end, in "Fantasy Forest", Mowgli also used his bravery and wisdom to win the right and freedom to live like a human being.
