One of the top 3 in my heart this year

I just finished watching the last line of words on the screen and turned into darkness. I walked out of the theater where I was alone. Although it is only the end of August, I think this animation can definitely be ranked in the top three of this year's animation (Crazy Animal City) It is also very good, if the unreleased Pocahontas also performed well, then these three). If Zootopia advocates equal fraternity among different races, which is a kind of big love, then KUDO is about family bondage, family affection and love deep in the bloodline, little love, but because it is everywhere, But also full of power.
After the feature film, I carefully read the names of all the staff and confirmed that this is a production team with very few Asians, but because of the pursuit of art, I have carefully produced such a film that is extremely sophisticated in both the picture and the music, and it is full of Dongying. Flavor works. What struck me most is that the story telling of this work has both the crisp rhythm of American movies and the blank processing with a very oriental charm. This is something I can hardly see in other American or even Asian animations. Processing method. Although some blanking processing may also be due to the limited funding and technology of stop motion animation, it has to be said that this kind of blanking is more appropriate in such a movie.
The movie is a little gloomy on the whole, but it is also warm and bright. Especially the ending is somewhat unexpected but I take it for granted. The originally sad mood suddenly warms up as if being healed.
For such a story, I couldn't find any better way to tell and express it, full marks?.
ps: I heard that China will not introduce it. This is indeed a pity, but there will definitely be some after the network resources. It is strongly recommended not to watch the gun version, at least to see the ultra-clear version to really feel the level of production.

    Memory is the most powerful magic in the world, it makes us stronger. The memories we love and lose in our hearts, as long as we keep them in our hearts, you can never take them away. Every frame of stop-motion animation is love, and Laika, wrapped in a Japanese style story, plays a stable dark gothic fairy tale as always, love is the power of redemption. The two-dimensional animation at the end of the film is like Ukiyo-e, and I am stunned. Don't be too awesome! Tribute to stop motion animators!

    The Japanese version of Agarwood kubo participated in a one-man Triwizard Tournament. The big boss grandfather with Voldemort's voice became a tyrannosaurus in a rage. No wonder that with "Dad" and "Mom" they had to catch fish when they were drifting on the sea fantasyly. It is really a movie full of "bugs". The movie! So the real name of the protagonist should be [Kubo·Agarwood·Pai·Porter]
