——Aspiring young women
want to say what is the hottest hero in the cartoon now, and the penguin is a well-deserved celebrity. This is all thanks to the producers of 3D cartoons who gradually "trained" the completely wild penguins to adults. From the earliest documentary film "Emperor Penguin Diary", the penguin fever has begun to spread. The monotonous ice and snowy Antarctic group of clumsy penguins and their simple lives, through the treatment of anthropomorphism, have entered the hearts of the audience (the original life of penguins) It's not easy), the penguin made a good impression, made money, and made viewers' tears. The savvy producers have already seen the star of the penguin will become popular. After the "Emperor Penguin Diary" and "Happy Feet" led a penguin fever and the box office of this year's cartoons, Sony played the role. As a qualified investor, he duly launched his own brand Penguin-Surf Penguin.
When "Happy Feet" embraced an Oscar figurine, and when the cute little penguin gradually became the logo of major underwear brands vying to compete, the Penguin stars are definitely no longer the little supporting actors in "Madagascar". I definitely don't want to be a peeped person in a documentary with no characteristics. If "Happy Feet" is still a little bit modest and not too dazzling enough, and the audience is still not enjoyable enough, then "Surfing Penguin" can definitely satisfy the tastes of people who love penguins and 3D cartoons, and even those who like surfing. Will also like it, after all, watching a group of penguins surfing is always a very new thing.
Compared with the penguins in "Happy Feet", the penguins in this film have evolved by a level. The increasingly anthropomorphic treatment makes the penguins in this film completely Americans wearing penguin clothes ( It doesn’t mean that Americans are like penguins. I mean, the penguins acted really well). Don't think that penguins are always a shape, don't think that penguins only eat raw fish, don't think that penguins only like to incubate eggs and only like to sleep standing up. God, these are old-fashioned past. Today's penguins are hot surfers on the tropical island Pangu. They eat grilled squid and live in a palm tree cabin. They are talking with their most individual hairstyles. The most authentic American English (the penguins have been fully Americanized, so it’s no wonder who let the old American win over the penguins first), they have even begun to have more body language and eye contact, even the little penguins are becoming more and more prone Cute, shui Lingling big glasses, hairy chubby body, and very fashionable wearing many small flowers on the forehead, God, there are such cute little penguins in the world, any MM will definitely want to hug it when he sees it here. These little guys.
"Surfing Penguins" feels like watching a hot beach show while eating iced Coke and burgers. The film is not only filled with penguins, but also the fully localized American culture and surfing culture. At the beginning of the film, the penguins have another surfing stunt. Watching these cute penguins surfing, listening to the most American rock music soundtrack in the movie, there will be a lot of funny points from time to time, lazy and cool summer Enjoy the perfect 3D waves in the film, wave after wave to the audience.
In fact, more time in this film is about regular surfing competitions. Nearly 40 minutes of the film is recording the surfing process and the exciting and extraordinary scenes of the competition scene. Therefore, the film has the suspicion that it relies on the Penguin star to attract attention, but in fact Penguin is only the carrier for the director to shoot the surfing documentary. However, this will not affect any overall effect of the film. Still, even if the purpose of the film is to promote surfing culture, watching a group of penguins and a rooster surfing is more fun than watching a group of people surfing. . Penguins are not only a magic weapon to attract popularity, but the real magic weapon comes from creative stories and shooting techniques, so as to give Penguin stars more opportunities to act.
While other cartoons are still telling cliché stories in a straightforward manner, "Surfing Penguin" begins to tell stories that are still clichéd in a completely different way. This film tells the story of surfing penguins in the form of a news documentary, which can be said to be the first case in the animation industry. The staff specially made the film into the effect of using a portable video camera to track and shoot, the shaking and unstable lens, interspersed with many TV pictures (many of the jokes in this film are produced in the interspersed picture). The language of the documentary is random and oral, so the personification of the penguin in this film has reached its peak. Looking at the expressions of these penguins speaking, if they are not penguins, it would feel like watching a typical American youth campus movie. The protagonist Cody is even more inattentive when speaking to a young American.
Although the filming technique is very special, but as an American cartoon filmed for the two main groups of children and teenagers, it is still inseparable from the old theme of preaching. Cody is a typical "little person". The story tells how he finally embarked on the road to success through his unremitting efforts. During this period, he will definitely experience failure and setbacks and be looked down upon by others, and will surely meet the fate of Bole and a With the help of a good friend, this kind of routine is already a template in all American cartoons. Any animal and any method can be used as a movie by itself. However, although the theme of the story is still old-fashioned, the film does give the audience a new and funny thinking, and it is still very innovative.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the soundtrack of this film, usually sports, especially extreme sports movies and TV shows, like to use rock music as the background to highlight the youthful fashion sense of surfing, of course, in order to highlight the tropical beauty of this film. Island style, many Brazilian samba music is also used in the soundtrack. It can be said that this film brings the visual and auditory enjoyment to audiences who like American culture and American rock.
