The plot is very similar to Disney's live-action "Aladdin"

After watching "Wish Dragon", this animated film known as a family fun, in fact, the main audience is still children, and the plot is quite similar to Disney's live-action version of "Aladdin". They are all poor boys and girls with high status, they are all funny and funny wishing gods in an ancient vessel that can make three wishes, they are all poor boys who made a wish to become rich and handsome to approach girls, and they are all girls from different families. This kind of hidden crisis needs the help of poor boys to solve... There are many similar details, but what I want to say most here is the difference between them at the end: about the fate of wishing gods. In "Wishing Dragon", it is the dragon who sacrificed himself to be in the future of the fairy class, and is willing to be a creature in a thousand-year-old pot again to complete the protagonist's last wish. In "Aladdin", it was the protagonist who used his last chance to make a wish and gave Lantern the freedom he wanted most. It seems that the aura of the protagonist in the domestic film is relatively large, right? But in fact, this choice also reflects the attitudes of China and foreign countries towards "extraordinary power": Medium: Although he has lost his freedom, he can still have mana for another thousand years. F: I'm glad I lost my mana, because freedom is the most important thing! Can't say which is better, but, anyway, the protagonist got what he wanted. It should be a happy ending.

    The characters in the story are Chinese, but the core is still westernized, which leads to some blunt changes in the characters' hearts, including discussions on money worship, class, and friendship. The most important thing is that this story is still too familiar, and there is no innovation in concept. Fortunately, the picture is still good. With Jackie Chan and Su Baili in the country, Er Chun felt a sense of confusion when the elder brother was fighting.

    3.5, it's okay to put it in Guoman, similar to "Snowman Romance", much better than "Flying to the Moon", Chinese style elements are bursting, this is Jackie Chan's works in recent years, the least objectionable right? ! Although it is full of routines, but after reading it, you must come with a package of shrimp sticks~
