The cuteness of single-frame animation is its simplicity, which is close to my childhood memories. The whole film is 85 minutes, without a single line, it is just right for me as a lazy person to watch, the story is simple, but the details are rich and colorful, and it is inevitable to go out of the town in the big country. Fengyun is even more hilarious. The irony of today's celebrity effect and selfies are obviously close to the pulse of society, and even big friends will laugh happily. Although it is a bit piled up, the deep feelings between the sheep and the owner are the key to the "search for relatives in a thousand miles" scene, so there is something moving besides being funny.
"Shaun the Sheep Movie" features clay dolls as the protagonist, which can also evoke collective memories of Westerners. Western society has always attached importance to creativity education. From kindergarten to elementary school, playing with clay is a favorite thing for Westerners, because they can use their creativity to "make" their favorite characters/objects, and they can also use their imagination to design some modern society. Things that do not exist in the world, or project the real world things into the world of clay, add the "dream color" of the real society in the form of "cartoonization". This is just like the sheep in the film, they are very lively, unwilling to be bound, yearning for a free life, so they try their best to change the original stereotyped and dull life, and show a kind of human nature that loves freedom. From the farm layout with strong realistic colors to the humanized sheep-like design, it fully expresses the particularity of the combination of reality and dream. The sheep full of dreams strives to pursue their dreams in reality, so that the difference between sheep and people is not big. It proves that the "humanistic" nature of the whole series of clay films will not change because of the sheep as the protagonist or the expression methods of the clay dolls; the collective memory of human beings is not only related to the form of clay, but can also be extended To pursue the ideology of freedom. Therefore, the whole film resonated with the audience, especially the Westerners, because the yearning for freedom has always been a mainstream value in their society that has not been extinguished for a long time.
