This is an animation that educates people to find themselves and control their own time. Japanese animations can always capture the small ideas that people occasionally come up with to process, and slowly express the deep meaning in a warm and simple way.
Have you ever had the experience of getting up in the morning and going to school late at night, and determined to get up early tomorrow? Repeatedly, Xiaochun in the film is the epitome of most young people, because being late was caught by the teacher and laughed at by classmates, including himself The male god who secretly loves is kind, lovely and helpful, and at the same time yearns for a life of freedom, leisure and trouble.
But does such a life really exist? Even if it exists, are we really happy because of it? The beginning of the film leaves us with this question.
Xiaochun rescued the prince of the cat kingdom because of an accident. The old king decided to repay Xiaochun and gave Xiaochun a series of "gifts" with the highest etiquette of the cat kingdom.
The lucky thing that was promised turned out to be a series of ironic troubles. The green tail grass, the new rackets piled up in the corridor, and the "high-quality" mouse of the cat kingdom made Xiaochun's day unlucky, just when Xiaochun was depressed At that time, the cat messenger appeared unexpectedly and invited Xiaochun to the cat kingdom. Xiaochun's series of self-talk made the cat messenger misunderstood and opened an unexpected and wonderful journey.
How can a human Xiaochun marry a cat? The distressed Xiaochun was guided by a mysterious voice and came to the cat office, where he met the baron. , expressing his feelings about the work.
Chubby seems to have answered the questions in our hearts. He is also a cat, and Chubby is obviously not a member of the cat kingdom, but his fat figure and gluttonous personality are confusing. Why not, not because Xiaochun is not a cat, but because, even if he is a cat, he cannot be such a cat. But we, like Xiaochun, always want to find out with a fluke mentality.
There are always difficulties and temptations in life, but as long as you don't lose yourself, there's nothing to be afraid of. This is also the core of the film: no matter what, you can't lose yourself.
Whether it is a cat or a human, the key is to control your own time and your own people (cats). As Mr. Chubby mentioned at the beginning, the people there are people who can't control their time. There is no day or night, just lie floating in a large patch of tail grass, there is no present, no past, no future, no goals, no results, no wishes, no disappointments, no difficulties, and no growth. In a void?
When Xiaochun was invited by the cat baron wearing a handsome evening dress and a mask to dance in the melodious dance music, the idea of being a cat is also good came to mind.
At this time, the baron reminded Xiaochun in time not to forget himself.
When Xiaochun ran desperately to the exit, she suddenly realized the meaning of this wonderful journey. Only by constantly hitting the wall and exploring can you find your true self, not what others tell you. Everyone’s experience cannot be replicated and is a necessary process for us to shape ourselves.
At the end of the film, it is not the prince and the princess who live happily together is the end. In fact, Xiaochun has fallen in love with the baron from the cup of special black tea from the beginning, but they are not together. The most important thing is to find himself and become a better self because of that person. This is Hayao Miyazaki's fairy tale and the beauty that exists in real life.
