I just watched this animation and I wanted to give it five stars, but when I looked back and saw the 1972 version, I still gave the 2012 version four stars. In short, the extra hour of the plot is not very innovative and stunning. On the contrary, it puts a paper-like and humanized "American animation" set trap for the originally convincing plot; however, it is not commercialized. It should be totally denied, at least this is in line with the way modern people think and accept opinions. So to put it simply, this is an animation that truly expresses with heart and can show the audience views other than mainstream political correctness.
Perhaps this film can also be named "When a tree can speak", because the power of the whole film to promote human reflection is actually the pity and guilt for these vivid and lovely lives; but it is a pity that they are not so cute or not in real life. Individuals who can speak and express pain, but cannot "voice for rights" for themselves, are the ones most vulnerable to exploitation by greedy humans.
We can blame the problem on profit-seeking entrepreneurs: they regard money as everything, and they can play all kinds of beautiful lies to make consumers pay for their ignorance. However, we should not only push the responsibility of reflection on them. The spirit of reflection should be rooted in human nature.
"Being an environmentalist and a person working for the future of mankind." This sounds very unmodern, very unrealistic, very immature, and very unfashionable, but this "sounds" feeling is the saddest, because it represents The mainstream thinking trend of this society-the people who really stand at the top speak with money. Only the naive and the failure will use "environmental protection" and "human cause" to cover up their naivety and failure.
