Today another Hollywood cartoon is released.
It's a classic animated sequel from Pixar 13 years ago:
Finding Nemo 2: Where Did Dolly Go"
From the current comments, word of mouth is mixed.
Rotten Tomatoes, which is dominated by professional film critics, gives a 95% freshness rating
(126 professional filmmakers evaluated, 119 recommended)
The top-to-front rating is:
For Pixar, "Finding Dolly" is more like a small fish in the big whale product, but it still has a good focus.
In short, it's not particularly good, but it's still worth a treat.
For Douban, where domestic film fans gathered, it showed more disappointment.
The current rating is only 7.8, or out of decline
Moreover, due to the huge success of the previous game, fans have higher expectations for the sequel, but in the face of almost the same story mode, fans have lost confidence.
For partners who are tired at work and want to return to their childhood, Bluestone recommends lowering their expectations.
The sequel has a certain relevance to the previous game, let's first revisit the first part.
I don't know the domestic translation of the name Ma always like the word "General Mobilization", a good film, because of a translated name, immediately make people feel that it is a low-grade animation.
In fact, the correct translation of "Finding Nemo" should be "In Search of Nemo"
The film was released in 2003 and achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, winning the Oscar for Best Animated Film
670,000 fans on IMDb have seen it, hitting 8.1
The famous American variety show magazine "Hollywood Reporter" believes that it is full of imagination:
A very clever and imaginative film, the picture is so beautiful that just looking at the picture is worth watching a second time.
The Wall Street Journal pointed out the biggest highlight of the film:
A great treasure under the sea, it is also a work of genius full of visual appeal.
It is this cartoon that opens people's imagination to the ocean.
Several important fish in it have risen in an instant, such as Dolly's prototype Blue Tang King Fish, which was still not very acceptable before, but since the change swept the world, the price of this fish has increased several times.
The film grossed $867 million worldwide in 2003, the second-highest-grossing film of the year, and the number one DVD sales were the highest.
You know, it is almost impossible for an animated film to achieve such a box office achievement.
The film tells the story of the clown fish Marlin originally had a loving wife and a bunch of upcoming fish babies, but an accident caused Marlin to be left with only his son Nemo to accompany him for the rest of his life.
But then poor Marin has another accident, and his son Nemo is captured by humans.
Therefore, the originally timid Marin embarked on a long and difficult adventure to find Nemo.
On this way, he met an important companion of the adventure, Dolly, who suffered from short-term amnesia
Together they experienced shark attacks
Ferocious lanternfish
Flocks of jellyfish with barbed tentacles
Cute turtles
There are also fun water bird pelicans
Of course, in the end, they succeeded in reuniting father and son.
On the other hand, his son Nemo also grew up on this adventure.
Previously, under the overly cautious protection of their father, they had to go in and out of the house three times to ensure safety
Encounter difficulties are also the father's doting help to solve,
For example, nemo in swaddling encountered problems that were solved by daddy.
And in the aquarium, he was encouraged by his friends to solve the difficulties himself
He can also work with his new friends to plan an escape
This unexpected journey away from his father also gave him the courage to avoid becoming another timid and cowardly father.
Even in the end, Daddy's good friend Dolly is in crisis, and Daddy wants to turn his back on her and flee, but Nemo can boldly carry out rescue
This is self-growth outside the home.
And this contrast between the two ways of growing up under the protection of parents and relying on oneself outside and understanding the world on their own has also become one of the themes of the sequel.
If the first part focuses on adventure and leads the audience to the underwater world, then the second part seems to weaken the adventure and focus more on the positive and negative exploration of the child's growth at the home provided by the parents.
The second part, featuring the briefly frustrated Dolly, is a new adventure to find Dolly's parents.
In terms of plot, in fact, the routine is basically the same, and adventure and family search are still the main line.
In addition to the more detailed graphics, there are also some more cute characters
Whale sharks and beluga whales
Selling cute Kaise
Gangster-designed sea lions
Another new character is the highlight, and that's Hank the Octopus
Dolly was born at the Institute of Marine Biology, where her parents were, and on the way, Dolly met Hank, who helped her.
Will change color (with stealth function)
This kid drives a stroller
Overall, although the sequel is a full of routine animation, it is emotional for many fans who were deeply affected as children.
For Pixar, this should be a decent work, but it is still very good-looking, they have really mastered the narrative rhythm to a very perfect state, there are many highlights in the sense of humor, and in the shaping of new characters, it is still full of imagination.
It's still quite worth seeing. Of course, you can also go through the first part.
