【Pay attention to the little boss Ah Hao, fun content to accompany you nagging】
——————————————————
First of all, on this special day, Ah Plei would like to wish all the big friends and children a happy Children's Day.
Childhood is the best time in a person's life. When I was a child, I ran home from school, turned on the TV, and saw that my long-awaited cartoon had just started. I don't know if you remember this indescribable little happiness of childhood?
Now we no longer have to stand in front of the TV on time and wait for the long-awaited program to begin. The anticipation of childhood slowly turned into a dusty memory.
What I want to take you back today is such a series of animations. Because of its age, many people's impression of it has been blurred, and there may be only one scene left at the beginning of the film - "the little girl chases the balloon".
This is a series of exhibitions by Yudux International, Doyakusha/ Madhouse/ World TV in 1976.
Seeing the following pictures, do you have a familiar bgm ringing in your ears? The impression of bgm has the elements of a flute, the voice is light and lively, with a strong fantasy color, with the picture, sometimes cheerful, sometimes a little melancholy. In the end, it is accompanied by the rise of the hot air balloon more and more brightly, as the hot air balloon goes away, giving people unlimited reverie space.
This work is a collection of fairy tales, masterpieces and folklore from all over the world, from the Chinese folklore "Divine Pen Ma Liang", the Japanese folklore "Pear Seller Immortal", to the Russian "Swan Lake" and "Nutcracker", to the Danish Andersen fairy tale "Mermaid Princess", as well as the world famous "Little Woman", "Les Misérables" and so on. Each episode has a very different style, almost perfectly showing the charm of the original work, and the animation itself has become a rare classic, an irreplaceable and important memory in the minds of a generation.
Let's take a few episodes as an example to take you back to the charm of this childhood classic.
Swan Lake
I believe everyone remembers, the kind and beautiful Princess Ogetta. She was transformed into a swan by the Demon King's spell and can only regain her human form at night. Prince Siegfried fell in love with her at first sight and vowed to marry her and break her magic.
The Demon King let his daughter pretend to be Ojeta and deceive the Prince, and when the Prince announced that he was going to be engaged to her, the Demon King and his daughter appeared in their original form, laughing at the pitiful ignorance of human beings, where is there any real love in the world.
In order to prevent the prince from being hurt, Ojeta jumped into the lake and committed suicide, and the prince did not hesitate to go with her. In the end, sincere love triumphed over evil, the demon king and his daughter turned to stone, a huge shell surfaced, and the prince and princess came back from the dead and lived happily together forever.
The final picture is very impressive. The image of the prince and the princess, years later, still seems so flawless.
"Selling Pear Immortals"
Years later, I learned that this was originally adapted from a Japanese folklore "The Pear Seller and the Immortal", and the Japanese name of the animation was "なし売り仙人" (literally translated as "pear seller immortal").
Probably because the good and evil in this story are rewarded, very much in line with Oriental values, and the picture and story style are light and humorous, so it does not seem strange at first.
The story is very simple, a thirsty old man, begging a pear seller to give a pear, the pear seller is mean and refuses to give alms. A kind passerby passed by and pooled his money to buy a pear for the old man. After the old man finished eating, he planted a pear tree with a pear core, which blossomed and bore fruit in an instant, let everyone pick it at will, and used pears to give back to everyone's help.
After everyone finished picking the pears, the old man cut down the pear tree and drifted away.
The mean pear seller felt very magical, and when he reacted, he found that the pears in his car were actually gone, and the ruts were gone, and then he realized that the old man was a fairy, which was a joke made by the immortal to himself.
"Divine Pen Ma Liang"
The story of this part, I believe it is needless to say, everyone should have seen the story related to "Divine Pen Ma Liang" when they were young. This episode of the anime can be said to be very respectful of the original work.
The animation scene uses the traditional Chinese ink painting style, combined with some ukiyo-e painting style, very retro. The character's painting style is also very cute, in addition to the bgm of some plots is a bit of a Japanese, slightly out of the play, the whole episode looks down, or very in line with the spirit of the original work.
The above is a small part of the review of the "World Fairy Tale Masterpiece Selection" brought by Ah Hao for everyone, interested students, you can go to Youku to search for the title, there are many original episodes. The Chinese version of that year seems to have been translated by Guangdong Television, but unfortunately, the dubbing version of the Chinese version can no longer be found, and there are still some regrets.
But no matter how sorry, no matter how imperfect, it has also accompanied our childhood and brought us a lot of happy times as children. It allows us to know many world famous works, understand fairy tales and legends from all over the world, and show us the most beautiful pictures of famous works and fairy tales.
Having seen such an anime, I think it is still a very happy thing.
