Dragon Hunting Legend: Raya has a mount called Tutu

I went to watch the latest Disney cartoon "Legend of the Dragon" last night. I can't say whether I like it or not, but I think some coincidences inside and outside of the film are really interesting.

Please feel it together. I know the question "How to evaluate the Disney animated film "Legend of the Dragon"?"

After shaking the cleverness, I still have to talk about the movie itself.

The movie "Legend of the Dragon" is Disney's different but actually the same work these years. It is different because Disney has been keen to make classic animations live in recent years, shooting some such as "Mulan" and "Aladdin". Waiting for the film, and "Legend of the Dragon" is a rare original IP. In the story of the film, this time the princess did not continue the princess template in many previous Disney stories.

Princess Raya of Dragon Heart Valley has no prince by her side, no experience of being in jail but needing to be rescued by others, and no singing and dancing in the film. She is the absolute protagonist of the film and a key figure in saving the world in distress. What can be expected is that the original intention of the story of the legend of seeking the dragon must have taken into account the contemporary characteristics and value orientation of women.

In the film, Raya grew from a strong and confident little girl to a hero. During the period, she only changed her attitude several times on the issue of trust. At first, she chose to believe in the world because of her father’s remarks. Later, she chose to stay because of Namari’s betrayal. With a heart and soul, the power of trust is determined because of the influence of the dragon Xisu. In the film, many pen and ink or paragraphs are used to highlight the motif of "trust between people". Raya also has a lot of growth in the story. .

The story of the movie is complete, and the core character Raya also changes, with ups and downs and highs and lows.

I said that the film still has the same line as Disney’s past films. It lies in the continuation of the highly industrialized animation system, such as the beautiful scenes, the art design, such as the super special effects technology that is faintly visible in the hair of the dragon, such as the moderate film advancement rhythm. Designed with the extremely cute supporting characters of cute pets (Tutu, Xisu, Xiaonuo, Monkey), as well as the creative habit of integrating Southeast Asian local customs on the cultural level of "usageism", this is what Disney does The largest "cultural communication company" on the planet came to the fore.

Good is good, but I still feel that the legend of seeking dragons is too flat.

In this story, the motif is too young, and the topic of trust is repeatedly mentioned, but it is just a little awkwardness between a few characters. You believe me and I believe you. Every time Raya and Namari change in the film, It is also predictable that the movie as a whole lacks the depth and heavy worldview that should be on the subject of the ancient legends of dragons. For child audiences, the legend of dragon hunting will be a very good educational model, and for us For adults who have watched many movies and have some experience in the world, they still feel a little less interesting.

On the adventure of Raya and Shenlong Xisu to save the world, they went to various tribes to collect Shenlong fragments, and formed a Shenlong team at the same time, but whether it was the process of capturing the fragments, it was the monkey army, old vine, Xiaonuo, etc. The process of joining the team is too simple and light, and the motives are extremely similar, lacking the visibility of the movie plot and the arc of the characters.

In short, this Disney princess version of Shimmering Film can be watched, but in fact it is also good-looking, but it is a bit regrettable that it is not a masterpiece.

Finally, add one more sentence-

The Tutu in the movie is really cute, well, much more cute than me.

    Blinded by the word "Disney". Top technology, plot persuasion. Suitable for those under the age of 14.

    The protagonist is incredibly stupid, full of Madonnaism and a sense of superiority that comes from nowhere. Is the screenwriter's brain flooded?

Raya and the Last Dragon quotes

  • Raya: [Referring to Benja] You remind me of him.

    Sisu: Oh yeah? Strong? Good looking? With impeccable hair?

    Raya: Hopeful.

  • [first lines]

    Raya: I know what you're thinking. A lone rider. A distopian world. A land that's gone to waste. How did this world get so broken? Well, that all began 500 years ago. Kumandra. This is what we used to be when our land was whole, and we lived harmoniously alongside dragons, magical creatures who brought us water, and rain, and peace. It was paradise. But then, the druun came. A mindless plague that spread like wildfire. Multiplying as they consumed life and turned everyone they touched into stone. The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough. That's when the mighty Sisu Datuu, the last dragon, concentrated all her magic into a gem and blasted the druun away. Everyone that was turned to stone came back... except the dragons. All that was left of Sisu was her gem. It should have been this big inspirational moment where humanity united over her sacrifice, but instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic. Borders were drawn. Kumandra divided. We all became enemies, and the gem had to be hidden, but that's not how the world broke. That didn't truly happen until 500 years later when I came into the story.
