Deconstruction and persistence, innovation and childlike innocence

Times have really changed, and they have changed for more than a year or two. Think of how many people watched Disney's "The Lion King" back then. The classic and traditional Hollywood story model is simple and innocent, and it makes people enjoy In the warm relaxation, get some emotional encouragement. Today, Disney’s "Princess and the Frog" is nominated for an Oscar animated feature film, and it has to arouse scolding and conspiracy theories. I think it is not taking care of Disney’s face. List a few animations selected by tribes and think that it will replace Disney. Is the right way. Everyone's tastes have changed. They want to spoof, to deconstruct, and to realize their dreams in an animation closer to reality. Therefore, when Disney was lonely, on the one hand, the deconstructed and black humorous "Amazing Daddy Fox" continued to be well received, and on the other hand, the "Flying House" based on real dreams was already popular in the Pixar brand. In the praise, routinely won the Oscar.

In my opinion, "The Princess and the Frog" is a well-made animated film with interesting stories in terms of production and positioning. Disney is trying to make some changes, but some innocent, classic temperament still runs through, you can hardly say whether this is persistence or stubbornness. In this animation, Disney also played some deconstruction. It used the fairy tale of the Frog Prince as a carrier, but only used it as an introduction to tell a somewhat anti-traditional fairy tale. But, in essence, this story is still Disney-style childlike and infinite, warm and affectionate. Of course, Disney-style singing and dancing are indispensable. Nowadays, the simplicity of the story and the reunion are often reasons for a movie to be criticized, and "The Princess and the Frog" has also been criticized in this way. In fact, "simple" and "complex" are just two styles, and there is no distinction between praise and criticism, not to mention that "three-stage", "parallel deconstruction", and "circular narrative" are better than "simple". They are one style. A style, an attitude, and simplicity does not mean copycats and shoddy. This is a love story of a lonely prince and a Cinderella-like girl. There are also classic and exaggerated villains in the middle. Of course, the big crocodile is indispensable, but as a funny character, But under this simple story, the interesting sections and delicate pictures all reveal a kind of sincerity, which is a respect for the audience who likes simple style. And "Reunion" is just an attitude. This is Disney's way of realizing dreams. Even if the fireflies die in the film, they must be with the "sweetheart" in Skyrim forever. A few years ago, the Disney movie "Enchanted", which had a good box office in North America, once gave me an interesting discovery, that is, there is a clear distinction between what I like and what I hate. I also thought it was a "bad movie" at the time. Thinking, why can't the prince and princess simply fall in love with each other, and can't be together forever? Disney's persistence is also a respect for a class of audiences. After all, someone must build their dreams for them.

Compared with "The Princess and the Frog", "The Great Fox Papa" is more like replacing the role of an excellent black humor drama with an animal character, maintaining the plot mode and style that fans love here, and at the same time. With the style of stop-motion animation, the combination of the two makes it easier to arouse fans' appreciation. This animation still has a strong Wes Anderson style. Even a life-and-death battle between an animal and a farmer is slow and light. There are also dream-catchers and a man with some personality defects who are not understood by others. This kind of spirit reminds me of the marine explorer who looks for tiger sharks in "Aquatic Life", and the teenager who chased his teacher and made his love rivals crazy in "Youth and Youth"; and the estrangement between family relations and relatives is also related to The incomprehension between the three brothers in Darjeeling, and the repression of the "genius family" in the "Genius Family" coincides with the split. Father Fox also has a spirit of a tendon. His personal hobbies appear to be "selfish", disregarding family and son’s feelings, and brought great trouble to the community. Anderson continued his warmth and reversal style, and finally remained the same. The Wei-style emotion that brings us full of aftertaste, there is no complete reunion, but there will always be reconciliation and understanding with a taste of compromise. In fact, when it comes to dreaming and ideals, the big crocodile in "The Princess and the Frog" that I like very much has something in common with Daddy Fox. Daddy Fox is not willing to live a leisurely "columnist" life in a house. , This is too boring for him, so he would rather do something sneaky. He didn’t listen to his wife’s words and suffered a disadvantage. Daddy Fox’s repeated troubles made him look childish like a child, but he also showed the excitement and excitement of his life. When he finally showed a "mature" appearance, it was hard to say. This is a good thing. The big crocodile is much luckier than the fox father. He is also a non-mainstream in the crocodile world. He doesn’t take the sun to find a living thing. He is in love with jazz. He wants to squeeze into the human music circle, but he can only scare people out of their ass, which can be described as loneliness. But helpless. It wasn't until innocence meets innocence, dream meets dream, and together with the troubled frog couple, that it became a lovely musical crocodile.

Whether it is a fox father or a jazz crocodile, what he embodies is a kind of reckless conflict and reconciliation with the real world. The story of Daddy Fox borrows the nature of animals. For example, foxes are instinct to steal chickens and dogs, but they have become non-mainstream and evil under the standards of human society. In this way, it actually shows how our innocence and dreams are swallowed up bit by bit under the current social order of mankind, until we become a mature man of the Gu family who works well. The jazz crocodile borrows the human nature and attaches human characteristics to a crocodile. His passion and frankness in loving music are also regarded as heretics by human social standards because it is a cannibal crocodile. , What do you do with music? The innocence and dreams of others are often ridiculed and avoided by us as aliens from the sky, and then swallowed until he becomes a mature crocodile swimming well. The two films have the same goal. Both films reveal some innocent dreams, but the posture of "The Great Crocodile Dad" is more joking and closer to reality, while "The Princess and the Frog" is a direct dream building, which is popular today when the "fading childhood" is popular. The children have also accelerated to a stage where they no longer like fairy tales. Therefore, the situation of "The Princess and the Frog" is very embarrassing. The audience group has shrunk sharply, but its insistence on some classical traditions has made me even more admired. I have also been watching it. When "Shrek" laughed, I thought that Disneyland was scumbags, but sometimes, I also hope to rest my brain in this innocent story. After watching this innovative but childlike animation, I I am also reflecting that the so-called conservative is not necessarily derogatory, and when I think that Disney should also be separated like Pixar and DreamWorks for animation, in fact, I may have fallen into a conservative mentality. I hope Disney will continue to explore the balance between persistence and change, give viewers a more beautiful dream, and give itself a bigger box office.

    Standard Disney animation, more exciting than creative.

    I've always liked 2D, but that doesn't mean 2D looks good. The so-called good idea is not just a random modification of the storyline. . . It has to be real, okay?
