Fans praised the beautiful special effects, but at the same time they didn't seem to like the story, and felt that it was thin and old-fashioned, and I just like the three-dimensional and rich presentation of this new version of "Prince of the Forest".
The first is the relationship between humans and animals. One of the differences between humans and animals is the ability to use tools, which makes the animal world feel a threat. The reason why the wolf clan and the black panther forbid the child to use his innate tricks and tricks is to truly make him a member of the animal world. Humans can use and control the mysterious red flower - flame, which makes the villain Tiger fear and anger. In fact, it is not unreasonable to think about the human threat theory of tigers. Most of the time, humans do play the role of destroying and plundering, although sometimes rebuilding and saving. The jungle has its laws, and nature has its laws. It goes on and on and on. Does it really need self-righteous human beings to look down and dominate in the attitude of God?
However, most animals speak like humans, and all animals think like humans. The story is essentially about the relationship between humans. Human children have a parent-child relationship with the wolves, and they have a mentor relationship with the black panther. Brown bears are friends, and tigers are competitors. A loving mother, a stern teacher, a loyal friend, a ruthless enemy, as well as the icon representing the authoritative god, the ape representing the careerist, and the snake representing the deceiver are the living human society. Especially the real jungle leader elephant group, they always come and go without a trace, and are worshipped by animals. In the last battle, when all the battles were over and the tigers died in the sea of flames, they appeared to draw water to put out the fire. This kind of leadership wisdom to let the bullets fly for a while is also unique to intelligent humans.
At the end of the story, it comes to the part of the relationship between man and himself. In the final battle, when the human child followed the wolves towards the enemy tiger, but was stopped by the black panther: You should not fight like a wolf, you are a human, you must fight like a human! The film has now been pushed to the point of ignition. We have been taught from childhood to be like everyone else, to obey rules and dogmas, as if that was the right way to live. However, a truly beautiful life begins when we know who we are. We know that what makes us different is not loneliness but a gift from the Creator. We no longer live for others, we want to be the best version of ourselves. It's not easy to be yourself, but it's really worth the effort.
"Inside Out" and "Zootopia" are still lingering, and "Fantasy Forest" is an audio-visual feast. Reviving classics and traditions with state-of-the-art means is Disney's forte. The great Disney must be dead!
