Speaking of the children's favorite piglet image, the first thing you will print on your mind will definitely be Paige - "Mud pit, mud pit, let's jump the mud pit together!" ”
In fact, our mainland has long had the image of a piglet that has influenced the post-10s and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that is, Pig Dick.
(It has a cute little square head, big dark eyes, and that little belly button detail, which is especially in line with the aesthetic of Chinese)
In March 2014, Dick Pig landed on the Beijing btv Kaku Children's Channel for the premiere, and has produced hundreds of episodes today. It tells the story of a harmonious town called "Myo Myo Town" inhabited by six small animals with different personalities, led by "Pig Dick", and a strange doctor.
(The Pig Dick series of animations has set a new high for the premiere of domestic original innovative animation works, and has also won the 2014 State Administration of Radio and Television Excellent Domestic Animation Recommendation.) ）
Because Dr. Strange was an orphan since childhood, he would secretly envy happy children and invent various props that destroyed children's "happy spirit", such as using nonsense soda to make children attack each other.
But Dick Pig and his friends were not seduced, they stubbornly fought wits and courage, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, protecting their friendship.
Yes, don't doubt your eyes, as early as nearly a decade ago, our domestic animation skipped the level of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and began to care about children's mental integrity and emotional health.
And today, its big movie is going to meet us.
What I never expected was that the adaptation of the domestic movie not only continued the warm fantasy of Pig Dick, cute upgrade, but more importantly, brought such a warm heart care to the child.
Our domestic animation has really upgraded.
Dick the Pig's Blue Ocean Adventure
Because of a shipwreck, Dick Pig and the elf pet Bean Bag are separated, drifting at sea, he meets the Shenzhou Island patriarch Light Blue, who leads the warship to find the "Heart of the Sea Soul", and they accompany each other, starting a fantasy adventure intertwined with magnificent imagination and warm healing.
The visual of children's movies is very important, bright colors, greatly stimulate the child's visual nerve at the same time, easy to let the child have a sense of pleasure and happiness.
"Dick the Pig's Blue Ocean" has a very brilliant color.
Rough waves, colorful Shenzhou Island, milk bottles for flower arrangement, the patriarch of a young girl with pearls on her head.
At the same time, there are also very fantastic settings.
For example, the one who fights the light blue patriarch is a shark with fruit sugar teeth.
Three large-headed flowers inserted in a vase can be used to set up obstacles using vines.
Chased by the stone cow, I didn't expect it to stop, a bowed head, fell down, it was really a croissant.
The rhythm of the early stages of the film is soothing and joyful, but with the appearance of another protagonist, Light Blue's younger brother Tail Teeth, the atmosphere slowly becomes emotional.
Originally, Light Blue and her brother had a harmonious and loving family, but all this was changed because their parents wanted to "start a great career".
The parents embarked on the journey and never returned, missing their parents' tail teeth too much, and one day they quietly left their sister and embarked on a journey to find relatives, and have not been heard from since.
Light Blue's expedition is ostensibly to find the "Sea Soul Heart", but the deeper thought is to find his brother.
Light Blue and Dick the Pig landed on an island, and on the top of the island, they found the pajamas left by their parents, the house exactly like their childhood, and even traces of a little boy with tail teeth.
But at the same time, the island is full of all kinds of weirdness, ferris wheels with blisters, flowers that can chase people, thousand paper cranes that really fly...
Light Blue felt that all this was familiar, the answer was in front of her, but she couldn't find a clue.
Are tail teeth really on this island? Does the island have anything to do with parents?
Does the island treat light blue as a guest, or an enemy? What does it have to do with the Sea Soul Heart?
Why do you always feel that every detail of this island is looming in your mind, and there is no definite memory?
The answer requires parents to take their children into the cinema to find it, and the only certainty is that when everything is revealed, everyone in the audience will shed tears.
The core of the film involves two words, forgetting and reconciliation.
Tail Tooth asks a question in the movie, if the memory makes me miserable, can I cut the memory and live in even the beauty of fantasy?
This is not just a question for children, it is simply a question that is difficult for adults to answer.
We can't help but ask, where did the feelings that inspire such deep pain as the tail teeth come from?
The answer turned out to be Mom and Dad, because they never returned, wiping out their children's expectations again and again.
We always feel that children are naïve, monotonous, easy to coax, but we all know that the more childish the heart, the softer it is, the warmer the feeling of being loved, and the cooler the feeling of disappointment.
Those small things that parents almost ignored or even did not realize when they were young, at the moment when the movie was revealed, will tell you how it is grass snake gray line, but it will always affect the child's life.
I think at that moment, the children just feel moved, but the parents may shed tears, not only for the children, but also for themselves who were once children.
"Pig Dick's Blue Ocean Adventure" does not stay at the level of adventure and fighting, and like its drama version, its main purpose is to "pay attention to the spirit of children", which is its advanced place, but also let me see the progress of domestic animation.
In addition to telling the preciousness of family affection, the story of Dick the Pig saving his friend Bean Bao in the movie can also be seen as the personal growth history of The Pig Dick.
In the previous game, Dick the Pig ventured all the way to the Strange Island and bean bag, and also met many new friends, who accompanied Dick the Pig to grow up little by little, escorting him, so that Dick the Pig had the most beautiful memories.
But this time Dou Bao left him, because the task sent to Dou Bao by the Heavenly Court was to ask Pig Dick to complete the adventure on his own, learn to take responsibility and grow up.
The unfazing picture, as if it were an oil painting washed by the sea, highlights the beauty of farewell.
The two closest companions stood so close, looking at each other on the shore of a foreign land, and Dick The Pig finally understood—
The road of life, after all, is to go on on its own.
Director Yang Yi is quite ambitious and grand in narrative.
He told the children many answers in a gentle and dreamy way, such as the meaning of life, the bondage of family and friendship, the inheritance of love and growth, the connection between forgetting and remembrance, but they are all hidden in a story.
Years later, children will understand the meaning of this animation when they think of this fantasy island, the square-faced Dick the Pig, and the flowers that absorb tears.
It is worth mentioning that "Pig Dick's Blue Ocean Adventure" is not only an animation suitable for children to watch, but we adult audiences can also get a deep emotional resonance from the movie -
It's time to pause for the "great cause" in your hands once in a while and spend more time with your children.
Those times that we thought were ordinary, we did not realize its preciousness, and looking back years later, it was too late.
The film will be released on November 6, especially reminding those gentle parents to pay attention.
It has no cg special effects, no 3D animation, no superheroes, nor is it a magnificent epic, "Pig Dick's Blue Ocean" is not a commercial candy, but the unique 2D style of painting creates a warm atmosphere.
When Dick the Pig began his new journey, he continued to walk on the blue ocean, the pure water surface was as shiny as a mirror, silky as silk, and as grassy as a texture, dressed like a feather, and casually going.
We and our children will understand that there may be wind, rain, and difficulties and obstacles in the future, but like Dick the Pig, we will not shrink back and be afraid, because love is always with us, so we will go more firmly.
