According to the Lanzhou Daily news on March 14 (Lanzhou Daily all-media chief reporter Li Chao) on the 13th, the reporter learned that according to the world-renowned British children's tv animation drama "Thomas and His Friends", and obtained exclusive copyright and supervising the production of children's dramas, "Thomas and Friends' Lost Treasure" will be staged at 19:30 on May 31 (Friday) and 15:00 pm on June 1 (Saturday) at the Gansu Grand Theatre. On the occasion of Children's Day, a joyful gift was presented to the children of Lanzhou.

Classics convey value in the subtle

The story of the birth of "Thomas" is heartwarming. Thomas was created by a train enthusiast named Wilbert Orville. When he was a young boy, he loved trains and loved to reverie that these trains had different personalities. Much later, he had a son, and in order to alleviate his illness, he told him the story of locomotive. Later, the story was too good to be published. Later, his son grew up and continued to create the story of the train.

The little train named Thomas has a human face and a group of train friends who also have human faces. As a classic image, it has been passed down for more than 70 years since its birth, and the related derivative content of comics, animations, big movies and so on is very rich. But most of the chinese children who first became familiar with Thomas's train were Through British children's dramas that began airing in 1984. At that time, this children's drama was roughly equivalent to China's gourd in the hearts of the British people, so it had the opportunity to be introduced into the country for broadcast.

Thomas and His Friends is the "top name" in the British preschooler's show. If "Dora who Loves Adventure" is a Hollywood blockbuster, with a strong sense of plot momentum and a smoother narrative, the story of "Thomas" is a European literary film, which is implicitly classic and full of value in subtlety. Children are first attracted by the busy little trains, which climb mountains, cross caves, cross rivers, and gallop around Toto Island to transport guests and goods every day, which can easily attract the eyes of boys. Villages, woods, valleys, rivers, bridges, mills, windmills, and so on, all contribute to the richness of the world.

The locomotive "Toto Island" will converge on the Golden City

Dozens of locomotives, in the eyes of parents, are only slightly different in color and detail, but children can clearly distinguish them. "Thomas and His Friends" from the United Kingdom was born more than 30 years ago, as a children's animation work with locomotive as the protagonist, it has created dozens of locomotive characters with different personalities, has more than 300 animation episodes and 11 big movies, has been translated into more than 40 languages, and its film and television dramas and book distributions cover more than 100 countries and regions. In China, there are already countless small fans.

This time, the small locomotives on the screen will appear on the stage en masse. Unlike watching cartoons, the little trains in the theater are carefully created by Japanese craftsmen, which not only restores the images and scenes in the animation, but also combines rich multimedia interaction with live-action performances, which allows children to experience how wonderful the world of small trains is. This performance, adding new characters to the previous game, a brand new locomotive called Ryan arrives on Toto Island, and Thomas's popularity status is challenged. Frustrated, Thomas came up with various ways to express himself, but created a series of ridiculous situations. In this story there is not only the wit of the little train, but also friendship, dreams, and the simple truth of "being a useful person" throughout.

"Children's drama is like a strange-looking juice drink, and babies can taste it or play with the bottle, leaving this happiness deeply in their memories." The person in charge of the Gansu Grand Theater told reporters: "A successful children's stage play, using the stage to guide the babies to be immersed, the interlocking plot locks attention, after watching the performance, the children can still tell their parents." I believe that the stage play Chinese version of "Thomas and Friends' Lost Treasure" must be such a delicious cup that babies like. ”
