When it comes to animated films, many people probably think of Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks first.
But in fact, there is a big guy who is serious about animation, Sony.
Today, let's talk about an animated movie that Sony has been serialized for ten years.
Vampire Daddy, human boyfriend, this "dark animation" really has a big ending—
Elf Hostel 4 ★★★★
Recommended reason: Classic animated series
Duration: 87 minutes
Bean cloves: 6.3
Since 2012, Elf Hostel has maintained a three-year rhythm of launching one.
The first two films can be described as a double harvest at the global box office and word of mouth, becoming classics in Hollywood animated films.
The third part of the word of mouth fell slightly, but the box office is still very powerful.
The fourth part is the finale of this series.
The story revolves around an elf hostel run by a vampire father and daughter.
Werewolves, mummies, invisible men, skeleton men, slimes, long-haired snow monsters, Frankenstein and other guests brought a lot of laughter to the audience.
At first glance, the painting style is very "hades", but after reading it, it is laughing and crying.
01
The story of "Elf Hostel" begins with Count Dracula.
Once, Dracula's wife was persecuted to death by humans, and since then he has lived in seclusion deep in the forest.
For the next 100 years, Dracula ran a hostel and raised her daughter alone.
Inside the hotel, all kinds of monsters look terrible, but they are actually very cute.
Because of his wife's experience, Dracula protected her daughter well from an early age, resulting in her isolation from the world.
Until a human boy breaks into the Elf Hostel, his daughter falls in love with him.
Dracula is on the verge of a great enemy.
If you want to "protect" your daughter, you have to break up the two;
I want my daughter to let go of love, but I can't let go of my heart.
Fortunately, after passing many tests, Dracula accepted a human son-in-law.
In the second part, Dracula is promoted to grandpa.
The little grandson is very cute, but he is worried that the child will not inherit his vampire blood.
Can't grow big fangs, can't turn into bats, can't fly, can't magic, isn't that the shame of the family?
When it comes to educating her children, Dracula and her daughter have a conflict.
Fortunately, until the end, in order to protect his friends, the little grandson finally lit up the "glorious" little fangs.
In the third part, the Dracula iron tree, which has been single for more than a hundred years, blossoms.
In order to treat her father, the daughter booked him a "Titanic"-style luxury cruise, which surprised Dracula.
On the cruise, Dracula meets Erica, a female captain who straightens his eyes.
After falling in love at first sight, Dracula began to worry that no one would take care of her daughter after she fell in love.
The old father's heart can never be.
But Captain Erica turns out to be a descendant of vampire hunters, good fellow, and isn't that a must-love and kill?
Of course, in the end, it was a happy ending.
After the first three films, the worldview of "Elf Hostel" has been very fully constructed.
Family education, identity, parenting concepts, and freedom of love are all topics it covers, and they are very joyful and cleverly told.
In the fourth part, it is also the time to end.
02
The story of the fourth part begins with the 125th anniversary of the Dracula Hotel.
On the day of the store celebration, it was a noisy day of gongs and drums, firecrackers were fired in unison, and familiar monster friends came.
To this end, the son-in-law also personally handled the knife and prepared a big surprise program for the old father-in-law.
But this unlucky child almost smashed the field in the end.
After the celebration, Dracula plans to retire, handing over the hotel to her daughter and enjoying retirement herself.
The daughter overheard her father's plan and told her husband.
But Dracula was still the father-in-law who hated his son-in-law, and he was reluctant to give his property to his son-in-law, so he made up a lie:
Only monsters can take over the hotel.
The speaker has no intention, the listener intends.
In order to let the old man retire with confidence, the son-in-law did not hesitate to use monster rays to turn himself into a monster.
This is troublesome, how to explain this to my daughter?
Dracula wants to restore her son-in-law to a human being before her daughter has discovered it, but it is self-defeating;
The son-in-law did not recover, and he was turned into a human.
To make matters worse, the crystal of the monster ray cracked at this point.
So, in order to change the two back to their original state, the group set off to South America in search of crystals.
There is not much time left for them, because once the time is too long, they may never be able to recover.
Thus, this "great adventure of transformation with my old father-in-law who does not want to see me" began...
"Elf Hostel 4" continues the consistent family fun model of the previous game, and the overall level is well controlled.
From the first part to the present, whether it is a variety of funny bridges or a life concept throughout, it has made the audience decompress a lot in addition to the joy.
Although the story focuses on a group of monsters, their beautiful qualities of fearless tolerance, understanding of their children and moderate letting go of their children when they are parents are in common with us.
10 years later, although its popularity and reputation are not as good as before, but the joy is still the same.
Overall, "Elf Hostel" is definitely a work for relaxing the whole family.
Friends who like this film, it is worth watching Oh ~
