Qualified works

I originally watched it with considerable expectations, so I avoided meeting with any promotional materials before this, hoping to give myself a pleasant surprise. Of course, the film is not bad. Generally speaking, it can still make people laugh and cry without jumping into the scene. But that's all.

Lively stories, moving music, brave princesses and conformist mothers. For a cartoon, the picture is also very important, and then this advantage is ruined by the cheating movie theater. Most of the plots performed at night are made like radio dramas by the dim lights, except for the subtitles. A place that can be seen. Of course, the daytime scenery still gives quite a lot of extra points. The castles, forests, water waves on the lake, as well as the princess's hair and clothing fabrics all look alive and fragrant, and you can really feel a kind of immersive feeling. Pixar's technology in this area is indeed beyond doubt.

Let's talk about the story, the magical masterpiece. I don't like this tone very much, but the plot unexpectedly follows a down-to-earth route-talking about the estrangement and feelings between mother and daughter. This kind of story is nothing like bedtime stories. After all, it's a commonplace talk now, but as long as the talk is good, I can accept it with pleasure. But the problem is that the talks are actually quite general, and you can guess the direction of the plot later without much effort. The relationship between the mother-daughter problem and the ancient legend is also quite far-fetched. Although it is a matter of separation and recombination, in my opinion, family and ambition cannot be confused. The small details in the plot are handled well, just like the small details of the picture. The rebellious spirit of the princess during adolescence is manifested in a series of small bridges such as eating, archery, and horse riding. The small reactions of the mother and daughter, the smile, the anger and the dialogue, are very much like me and my mother (- -b). There are also some jokes that have been added, but they are still free to add points.

Although I have a good grasp of the small details, it still did not save the whole story. The battle before dawn was too hasty, the way to save the mistake was too simple, the princess’s self-reflection came and went, and finally it was a tear-jerking preaching... In short, I just didn’t know what age I should put my IQ into. Only at the stage can I adapt to this movie. It's not as funny as "Motor 3", nor as sophisticated as "Wali"... In short, it can only be regarded as a movie that is qualified in all aspects but can't hold high hopes~

ps. The princess's hair is really real. It's done very well, I recommend it~
Also ps. This story teaches children not to follow people they don’t know, and don’t take cakes made by people they don’t know back to their mothers~

    Shouldn't this make Mommy a bear? That's fun, but why are there only princesses and horses around?

    [picks up the large bow from the table]

    Young Merida: Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I? Please, can I?
