At present, the development speed of domestic animation can be said to be very rapid, among which there are also many excellent animation works, and at the production level, domestic animation and Japanese animation and European and American animation compared with it, has basically reached the same level, but, in the plot, domestic animation is still lagging behind a lot.
In domestic animation, there are many animation works with animals as the protagonists, such as "Black Cat Sheriff" in the early years, to the later "The Adventures of the Little Carp", "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit", etc., the protagonists of these works are small animals, and in China, the animation film "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf" is also a very successful animation work with animals as the protagonists.
However, in recent years, "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf" has not been particularly well evaluated in China, first of all, this cartoon is only suitable for some younger children, and for some older children, this cartoon seems to be not so suitable.
However, the same animal as the protagonist, the European and American cartoon "Tom and Jerry" is very popular in the world, and I believe that many people are very familiar with to Tom and Jerry's partner, but why is cat and mouse more popular than Xiyangyang and Gray Wolf?
First of all, the problem of the age of the audience mentioned earlier, whether it is Japanese anime or European and American animation, the audience of these cartoons is not only children, especially Japanese animation, many adult adults still like it very much, which is also the success of Japanese animation.
On the other hand, domestic animation works, from the very beginning of the definition is for those who are relatively young children, so in the production, will also be more biased towards their interests to produce, not only that, in the production, the plot of the animation should also be strictly controlled, otherwise it will usher in complaints from parents.
And we can also see that the cartoon tom and jerry basically has no lines, but whether it is a child or an adult, it will be attracted by its humorous plot, but in contrast, the Pleasant Goat series, although having lines can make the cartoon richer, but the weakness of the plot can never be changed.
In fact, about cartoons, whether it is humans as protagonists or animals as protagonists, if you want to be successful, then the audience of animation must be set well, so that anime becomes a work that adults and children can watch and like to watch, which is the definition of an anime success.
Not only that, for parents, children are indeed in a learning stage of growth, but children at this stage also need the correct guidance of parents, and watching cartoons with children is not also a way to understand children?
Therefore, although domestic animation has been very mature in production technology, the next step should be to make more fuss about the content of animation, after all, those children who watched animation have grown up, but their attachment to animation is still not decaying, in your opinion, what should the animation in your heart look like?
