As a "Made in China" cartoon, how to tell a good Chinese story and show the power of Chinese culture? Cartoons must have the atmosphere of the times and conform to the viewing aesthetics of contemporary children in order to narrow the distance with children; and the stories told in cartoons should be more grounded and vibrant, so that children can have a more sense of substitution when watching, and it is easier to see.
Each of the 26 episodes of the three-dimensional cartoon "Dream Baby" is based on the "own affairs" of contemporary Chinese children. At the beginning of the story, li Xiaobao, a second-grade primary school student, accidentally hit and bumped to make the clay man dream baby pinched by his grandfather "live"! She also became her own good friend, as long as there is no adult present, Mengwa will "live" and become the secret little friend of the children.
8-year-old XiaoBao is eccentric and strange, and he lives with his grandfather. Grandpa always has a kind smile on his face, and hurting Xiaobao, pinching clay people, and playing chess are the three major focuses of his retirement life now. In the courtyard, there is also a second uncle who is full of authentic Tianjin dialect, has a straight heart and loves to love, and has a happy and happy life every day, and Jack, a "foreigner" from the United States. And Xiao Bao's best friends are the class leader Xueba "ButtonEr" and the thick snack goods Erzhuang. The "living" Dream Baby became a little elf with super powers, but unfortunately, as soon as she saw the fried cake, she was overwhelmed, and her super powers were not flexible from time to time. In Xiaobao's daily life, Mengwa caused a lot of trouble and made a series of jokes: advising Xiaobao's "squad cadre rotation system"; trying to deal with "other people's children" together; using super powers to dress herself as a robot and Xiaobao to publicize environmental protection; launching superpowers to "direct" broom mops to do housework to earn pocket money; encouraging Xiaobao to have the courage to admit mistakes and go to the museum together to return pebbles; in order to donate love, she sold her reluctant fried cakes at the flea market of Xiaobao School... During the Chongyang Festival, in order to take a photo of grandpa washing his feet, XiaoBao and Mengwa "guided" grandpa to wash his feet in a variety of ways, but caused grandpa to suffer leg pain. Under the reminder of Mengwa, Xiaobao learned from her father and used hot water to soak her grandfather's feet to relieve her leg pain. This scene was recorded by photographer Jack with photographs.
Xiao Bao showed off to his friends that his family heirloom was exactly the same as the Warring States Crystal Cup in the museum. Unexpectedly, she was overwhelmed by Mengwa and broke her hand. Xiao Bao and Mengwa "bear the sin of Jingjing" to their grandfather, and get their grandfather's forgiveness. But Grandpa said it was just an ordinary glass. Xiao Bao was relieved, but disappointed, it turned out that there was no heirloom in his family. Xiao Bao's procrastination always made Grandpa worried, and Mengwa held a "procrastination criticism meeting". Desks, wardrobes, and workbooks all tell the troubles caused by Xiaobao's procrastination. Mengwa also transformed into a doctor and prescribed Xiaobao "Cherish Time Pills", "Concentration Tablets" and "Growth Responsibility Injection". Xiao Bao finally realized the harm caused by procrastination. Xiao Bao told Mengwa: I really want to be the only one in the world, without Grandpa's nagging, without the teacher's criticism, without Xiao Ke's pickiness, how good it should be! Mengwa said she could help him realize his dreams. Unexpectedly, the "beautiful dream" almost turned into a nightmare in the end. The school wants to perform the textbook drama "Dream Little Superman", Erzhuang wants to play The Little Superman, Xiaobao "directs" Mengwa to give Erzhuang a demonstration, but the director's task falls on the head of the class leader Xiao Kou. In the end, can the textbook drama still be successfully performed? That's a problem. The teacher left a "homework on the tip of the tongue" for the children. Xiao Bao rubbed his fists, Xiao Ke was eager to try, and Erzhuang felt that this homework was just in line with his heart. The second uncle of the cook became a counselor for several children. The process of learning to cook is also a person turning over on the horse, and Mengwa is still making trouble on the side, making a mini fried cake by herself.
In the story of the cartoon, Mengwa has the advantages and disadvantages of ordinary children; she experiences the children's "own affairs"; her perspective becomes the spiritual main line that connects the entire cartoon. Each story conveys a correct and positive value, and Mengwa's "small" perspective represents the perspective of children; Mengwa's experience in the human world is a projection of contemporary Chinese children's exploration of the world.
Mengwa "lived" over, such a childlike and imaginative setting, not only will make the young audience feel magical and interesting when watching, but also abandon the preaching, with experience and empathy to vividly convey the core values of socialism to children!
