This film is jointly produced by Oriental DreamWorks (Pearl Studio) and DreamWorks of the United States. It is an animation film jointly produced by the two companies after "Kung Fu Panda 3" in 2016 to tell Chinese stories. The plot of the story is not complicated. It tells the story of the heroine Xiaoyi and her two friends, Ajun and Pengpeng, who have gone through hardships and dangers to escort the snowman "Da Mao" back to his hometown - the Himalayas. The film is beautiful, and it presents an adventure in a humorous and exciting way.
As a co-production film, both the director and the screenwriter are American. Although it is the narrative style of American DreamWorks, it has a Chinese team involved, so the degree of localization is very high, and the character modeling is very suitable for Chinese people. Grandma is a hard-working old man who talks all day and manages three meals at home. He is a typical image of a Chinese grandma. And Ajun is Xiaoyi's friend who grew up together. Although she loves smug beauty and shoes like her life, she seems indifferent to Xiaoyi, but she has been quietly protecting her. The way Chinese people express their feelings between relatives and friends is not as direct as that of Westerners, it is implicit, and the warmth can only be felt slowly by relying on the heart. In the film, the protagonist goes to famous scenic spots such as Huangshan Mountain and Leshan Giant Buddha, which will also give the audience a sense of intimacy.
I have to admire the imagination of the production team and the amazing visual effects, every frame is beautiful and dreamy. The super-powered snowman sailed with Xiaoyi and others galloping in the sea of rapeseed flowers; Xiaoyi played the violin, and the flowers instantly filled the entire Leshan; and the sparkling starry sky seen through the pink flowers at night, these scenes are really It is to make the audience enjoy an audio-visual feast.
The film also has a healing effect. At the beginning, the heroine Xiaoyi became withdrawn due to the death of her father. She was alone on weekdays. She didn't communicate with her grandmother and mother when she returned home, and hid in her own little world. The family is very worried about her, but she is busy working all day to earn money, hoping to earn enough travel expenses to travel to the places negotiated with her father before his death. The sudden appearance of the snowman changed all this. The kind Xiaoyi not only bandaged the wound of the injured snowman, but also escorted it back to the Himalayas. Along the way, she and Ajun and Pengpeng helped each other, and the snowman also used his superpowers to turn disasters into good fortunes in times of danger. Xiaoyi felt the friendship and love between her friends, and her long-closed heart gradually opened. Although she was escorting the snowman home, the place she passed by coincided with the place she always wanted to go. This is not what Buddhism says about crossing people and crossing yourself. While helping the snowman, Xiaoyi also achieved herself and completed Her wish to travel and her relationship with her mother and grandma also became close.
The two DreamWorks once again successfully explained the win-win cooperation. It has become more and more difficult for foreign films to win the Chinese market by relying only on large-scale special effects. The localization is escorted by the Chinese team, coupled with first-class special effects. Even if it is a simple story, adults have a sense of cultural identity when watching it, and children are surprised and happy when watching it, and it will naturally have a high reputation and high box office. As a warm, healing and humorous film, it has been screened in 30 countries and regions around the world. I hope that foreign audiences can enjoy the beautiful scenery of our fairyland in China through this film.
