Perseverance of pixar

I’m very curious that pixar would choose such a Disney setting. In a small country in Scotland, a little princess born with the wrong sex was asked to contest and recruit a prince, except that the theme was not "Prince and Princess" Apart from the bad stalk of "live happily together forever", it seems to be a typical Disney animation, not Presented by Pixar.

The little princess had a huge disagreement with her mother about her future life plan, so she bought a wish from the witch (it is quite a commodity economy, but where did all the other wood carvings she bought?), and got a cake that changed her mother. But mother became a bear, and then resolved the contradiction, and with the most magical line: I love you, to lift the spell ("Beauty and the Beast" has nothing to do!). It seems to be another boring and educational story, but Pixar's theme is also profound and moving: the reconciliation of the old and the new.

Like all world-class animators or companies, Pixar has always adhered to the theme of making animation. After stripping off the theme, the various dazzling "creatives" are nothing but a gorgeous coat, the emperor with bare buttocks. It may be laughable, but it is also the most real.

Since the beginning of "Toy Story", Pixar has started this kind of emotional exploration. Children who love the new and hate the old, and the toys in order to win back the owner's love, how new toys get along with old toys, how children treat old toys, throughout the series The theme of the three books has become more and more profound. Perhaps the old things are of no use to a person, but she still has her value and is worthy of being cherished.

"Cars General Mobilization" is also a story of the collision of old and new ideas. The little red car was sent to the labor camp. Finally, under the education of the classic car, he learned to respect himself and be truly powerful. Even the much-maligned second part is still a new and old story, how the local turtle truck faces the prosperous urban life, and how these novel lives respond. The story is always Happy Ending at the end, but understanding and consideration is really inappropriate!

"Wall E", which the people love to see most, is not outside the theme. The old and long-forgotten Wall E stayed in the same forgotten earth to perform its duties quietly, and the newest Eve was sent to the earth to look for signs of living things, so the old and the new were inevitably connected. Together. Until the last group of dead fat people fight AI in the spacecraft in order to return to their former hometown: the earth, this all shows a kind of cherishment and dissatisfaction for the past, and how to correctly face the past in the present: continue to stay in the present life , Choose to forget; or return to hometown and start a new life. Of course, I personally feel that the most special and greatest thing about "Wall E" is that she has no language (there are too few fat dramas to ignore), and the use of pictures to narrate must be one of the most important meanings of animation in the history of art.

"Up" also shows the same feelings, the almost autistic old man, and the cute and silly little fat man. The role setting itself has conflicts. In the story, the two finally resolve the generation gap and fall in love with each other (?), Shows the charm of tolerance and understanding. The contradiction between the old and the new in this film is also reflected in the two paranoid old men, both clinging to the goodness of the past, so they refuse to change, reject the reality, and isolate themselves from the new external world. One of them chose a new life in the end, but this does not mean that the past is so over and the memories are still beautiful; the other is so unconscious and can only be killed by his own stubbornness in the end. This is what life really needs people to learn to grow in time instead of rejecting time, and time itself is the coordinate of old and new.
Coming to "Brave", the fierce collision of two generations is obviously not the best way to solve the problem. The new generation must understand the care of parents, while the older generation must listen to the inner voice of the children and use love to resolve the cause. The crack caused by vanity. It can only be said that the preaching of this part may be a little heavier, and the ending is somewhat clichéd, so it has become another example of witnessing the decline of Pixar?
I have to say that only by adhering to one's own traditions can there be truly good works. Dream Work implements a liberal and extremely personalized concept: everyone is unique, special, and has his own talents. This may be even more popular nowadays, coupled with the satire and spoof style of American leftist imagery can often make people laugh, and it can prove that I have watched many famous movies and famous animations. The fast food story is like high calorie, enough energy, everyone loves it, but vitamins and other estimates still rely on Pixar. It is important to find yourself, but after all, not everyone is as useful as the protagonist of Dream Work with the endless shit luck and the help of the nobles all over the world.

Adhering to one's own concept is important, but now the audience obviously prefers "creative" things. Creativity itself is not a bad thing, but with this as a standard to measure the quality of things, perhaps we should first read Hegel’s historical and philosophical works, at least if social progress is based on "new" or "creative" as the standard, then social life More than a hundred years have passed since the peak. Many things are constantly educating us that the really good things may have no creativity but remain for thousands of years. Just like the current Western philosophy is still centering on the study of Plato, our thinking cannot escape from Lao Tzu, Confucius and Mencius.

Perhaps the current "Pixar" is at a bottleneck or is preparing for a sprint, preparing to bring better animations to the audience! Understanding and love may be the most important.

    It can't be regarded as a pure pixar animation film, it can only be said to be Disney's fairy tale + pixar style

    Changing the 2D style of painting is Disney’s traditional routine. Although the technology has become perfect day by day, the story is too disappointing. In recent years, Pixar’s originality and independence have been increasingly lacking, making it hard to believe that this is the animation of the year. Overlord of the world.
