The 2001 Pixar animation now looks bold and avant-garde and full of creativity, and the movie themes contained in the film are also very nice.
Theme 1: Only the fierce things will have a harvest?
In the film, the power company uses the screams of children to collect electricity, which makes many children lose the happy memories and innocence of childhood, just like excessive consumption, sooner or later problems will arise. For the little child Abu, those hideous monsters meet innocent and cute children, as if they saw a monster, panicking. Just as they sometimes encounter truly terrible and unknown things, not only children, but now adults are always very timid in the face of unknown things.
Theme 2: Which one will come first, fear or happiness?
In power companies, there are two methods of collecting electricity, one is screaming, and the other is laughter. The former makes it more and more difficult for the monsters to collect happiness, the latter makes the children and themselves full of happiness, and the collection becomes easier. There are the same two attitudes. People always like hopeful laughter and happy language. Therefore, it is impossible to give absolute evaluation to the two, because people’s lives are in a variety of ways and the emotional world is unpredictable. Therefore, in the movie, whether it is Landau or the boss, it is for their own duties and career to put them in In the real world, we are more or less hesitant.
In short, as one of the few high-quality films that transcended that era, the deep connotations and beautiful features of the film that the director gave to this film were beyond that era, and every shot and picture appeared beyond time and space. Just like the process at the end, the director only gave the big cat shots, while Abu's shots were done by the audience's brains. In this movie, it should be the first animated film with cute contrasts. The fierce "big cat", full of innocent "Abu", should be the earliest "Beauty and the Beast". In short, there are many high-quality details processing in this movie, and these techniques can only exist in live-action movies before, and now they are handled very well in animated movies...
