"Food Story" spent in happiness and emotion~

First of all, please allow me to compliment Pixar. It is indeed different, and it is also the originator of CG movies. Today, when CG movies are flooded, Pixar has proved with practical actions what is the true meaning of animation and what is the true meaning of movies! "Food Story" (also known as "Ratuitou") did it. It almost made me think about the plot of the movie all night, even dreaming of it. If you want to know how good Pixar is, I suggest you go to the cinema to watch this movie right away. Only in the cinema can you feel the joy and touch!

[Pixar changed prejudice]

Pixar is really legendary! In the upper part of the film, people have already squeezed a cold sweat for it. Before the release of "Cars" ("Cars"), I felt that this film would definitely not be able to surpass the previous one. In fact, it can be seen from the name, how does the car perform to make people feel vivid? And it's CG animation, not to mention the difficulty of course! But after the film was released, I went to the cinema 4 times, and every time I leaned forward with a smile! And this time Pixar used a little mouse as the protagonist and let it run rampant in the kitchen, which actually made me feel very uncomfortable! I am not afraid of anything. I just hate mice by nature. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable when I see and hear mice! ! However, Pixar uses mice as its subject matter, which makes me really disappointed in this film. However, in July, the film was first released in Taiwan. At that time, I was visiting Starlight Mitsukoshi in Taipei. I accidentally saw the details of the film on a screen. At that time, I thought the animation and graphics of this film were very beautiful, so I decided If it is shown in Beijing, I would like to see it! As a result, this film is really a classic again. It even changed my view of mice. When I was watching the movie, I even thought that mice were a little bit cute! It's incredible! ! !

[Animation is vivid]

This movie made me feel extremely excited from the beginning! Maybe the person next to me does not feel the same as me, because I am a person in the CG circle, and I also know the process and quality of making CG movies. From the perspective of animation, I can only say-"Too perfect"! The actions and expressions of the little mouse can almost reach the realm of the unity of human and mouse. From "Toy Story", not from "Naughty Lamp", I admire and envy Pixar's animators for their animation level. It is not only what they can do, but the most important thing is their understanding of animation. It's really deep and thorough. Until the past two years I have met a lot of American animation elites, especially Pixar animators (such as: VNOG). I was deeply moved by their persistence in animation! If you don’t believe it, you can go to the cinema to experience it. When you hear the laughter, you will understand where everyone’s joy comes from! I like animation, I love animation, which makes us who do CG and animation even more excited when we see the movie!

(If you also want to learn about animation, then buy a "Basic Animation Tutorial-Animator's Survival Manual" which is regarded as a classic by animators!)

[Special effects technology goes further]

In Hollywood, movie special effects are increasing day by day. Today, it seems that movie special effects are nothing new. However, I still feel that Pixar's special effects are still improving. The most prominent is the change in the hair system. In addition to the animation, the performance of the little mouse is very difficult. And there is not only one mouse, but also thousands of rats. I checked the information on the Internet and quoted:
When the cartoon "Monster Company" was made, Pixar's hair technology was already a pioneer in the computer animation industry. This time, "Food Story" goes a step further on this basis. There are thousands of mice in the film. It is a big project to complete their hair. Not only that, the animator designed 3000 control points on the mice, and the main hair was designed separately. Then the other parts are copied according to the situation. If the audience observes carefully, they will find that the hair color of each mouse in the film is different. In the close-up of Xiaomi, his hair is purple, yellow and green. But if it is a distant view, he is a very beautiful dark blue. In order to improve the cuteness, the last is to render the flesh color of the ears and nose. Remy's ears and nose are bright pink and seem to have a little light transmission. This is the characteristic of a little mouse.

[The plot is superb] The

film tells a very interesting story. A little mouse can make the best food in the world, but God made a joke with it. It happened to be a mouse that everyone shouted and beaten. When it met Xiaomi again by accident, the story changed. The mouse helped Xiaomi, and it could cook food by controlling Xiaomi. And Xiaomi also got love and career through outstanding performance. The little mouse has gained "respect" through superb cooking skills! The film tells everyone a truth "everyone can cook" through a comedic story! The story is simple, but it is indeed intriguing. Especially when the little mouse touched the most difficult food critic Mr. Ke Bo with a simple dish, the scene was almost teary. All I can say is that Pixar has indeed reached the pinnacle in grasping the development of human emotions! With such a good story, coupled with a good production team, how could this film not become a classic?

The following is a film review on the Internet:
"Food Story" breaks people's inertial thinking and regards the mouse Xiaomi as the core character of the film. He looks forward to ending the life of picking up trash and eating. One day he can become the chef of a top restaurant in Paris and make the best by himself. Tasty dishes. Just when it was difficult to enter the kitchen of a five-star hotel, the new cleaner Xiaokuan helped a lot. The homeless Xiaokuan was eager to keep his job in the hotel, and he was clumsy and could not cook at all. Both of their advantages can help each other, so the most unlikely friendship in the world was born. The film expresses a universal truth: attach importance to friendship and maintain loyalty.

[High-quality Pixar]

Why is Pixar so important in everyone's mind? One of the most important points is that each of its films is almost a high-quality product! In fact, we can see from Pixar's early short films that although the technology is not complete yet, in terms of animation expression and plot organization, Pixar is definitely a big and high-quality product. In fact, in the CG film industry, it is not only Pixar that can make CG movies, such as DreamWorks, Blue Sky Studio, Sony Picture, etc., but watching their films makes people feel that the animation performance and plot are much worse. Pixar basically created every movie by itself, which is indeed more difficult. When DreamWorks decided to make "Outside the Fence", it was already a very popular comic book in the United States. Therefore, there is already a certain degree of understanding from people's personnel, and Pixar's movie plots are all original, the production of this movie has brought great difficulty. Pixar's film production cycle is known to be very long. A film basically takes about 5 years. It is this principle of quality that makes every Pixar film get a very good response after it is released! The principle of quality first makes Pixar unique!

[Salute to Pixar]

As a person who is in the CG circle and loves movies, Pixar has brought us too many surprises and touches. Now we don’t know how often we can describe our admiration and love for Pixar! From "Toy Story" to "Monster Company", from "Finding Nemo" to "Cars", from "Insect Agents" to today's "Food Story". Pixar has created a classic with one! We have reason to believe that Pixar will go further in the future, and we are very much looking forward to Pixar bringing us new surprises here! ! !

    It's a perfect script. The rhythm of the plot and the unconventional ending constitute a true masterpiece. The work with the highest MTC rating in Pixar Animation.

    I don't think it's that good, Ping Ping. There is a small detail that is very good. Ego recalls the place when he was a child. The best food must be the same as the one made by his mother.
