Apart from joy, my heart is a little heavy. Zootopia's fascination with domestic animation is all-round. There is still a long way to go before all domestic animation practitioners!
As an old-fashioned animation empire, Disney has accumulated for decades, so profound. Zootopia light animation technology itself is worth seeing.
Super cute characters, gorgeous pictures, grand background, exquisite details and smooth and wonderful story lines are all worth a vote.
People get wet in the rain, and you can see that their clothes are wet; Different animals appear in the same shot, and you will find that their body proportions are consistent with reality; Every character has extremely realistic hair and even gradient colors!
This technical fineness has completely reached the critical level. However, the grand scene and beautiful background will still blind your eyes again.
The animal city created by diffuse reflection renderer is beautiful; Cross-film simulation rendering, amazing special effects; A few chase scenes, wonderful.
The handling of the story is also remarkable. The rhythm is lively and the technique is natural.
A rabbit who dreamed of being a policeman was laughed at, worked hard and finally got his wish. After becoming a policeman, he was not optimistic, tried to prove himself, and finally succeeded in counterattack after suffering. Never thought, good intentions did bad things, which led to the exclusion and expulsion of predators. With the help of a group of friends, the truth was discovered, the plot was exposed, and the animal city was restored to harmony and calm.
The story of twists and turns, contradictions and conflicts gradually unfolded, and there was no urine spot in the whole process.
When Judy decided to be a policeman, the ridicule of people around us made us have to reflect on gender discrimination and racial prejudice in employment. Can't mother rabbit be a policeman?
Judy graduated from the police college with the first place through her personal efforts. When she wishes to become a policeman, young people can see the light of her dream.
When going to the animal city, Judy's train provided three kinds of exits according to the different passengers' bodies, and small rodents such as rabbits also had their own towns. Humanized urban design and harmonious coexistence of different species make us see democracy, equality and freedom.
When the fat leopard at the front desk of the police station said that Judy was so cute, Judy emphasized that only rabbits can say cute to each other, and other animals can't say rabbits are cute. Here's a racial discrimination metaphor: blacks can call each other Niger, but others can't.
When Judy first entered the police station, Director Niu looked down on her, just like a newcomer was given a cold shoulder.
When Nick bought a popsicle, the elephant said that he had the right to refuse to serve any guest. Is this scene familiar? Isn't it a reflection of the provision that refused to provide services to homosexuals passed by Louisiana last year?
Nick bought popsicles, melted them, made them into small popsicles, and sold them to Lemmings Brothers Bank. Big popsicles are divided into small popsicles for sale, which is a metaphor for the subprime mortgage crisis caused by packaging mortgage securities and selling them to investors and other financial institutions. Lemmings Brothers Bank is the homonym of Lehman Brothers, which went bankrupt in the subprime mortgage crisis.
Director Niu didn't want to accept Mrs. Orton's report because of the trouble, but he quietly played with his mobile phone during office hours. It is right to feel familiar. This is the image of some of our dereliction of duty leaders.
The sloth in the vehicle management office, who has a slow pace and loves to laugh, is precisely the inefficiency of the government department.
Mayor lion chose sheep as his assistant only to get votes from herbivores. When dealing with the media or the public, he always has an image of being close to the people, practical and thoughtful, but privately he speaks to Vice Mayor Yang. When dealing with an emergency (animal madness), he took covert control in an attempt to cover up the truth. Aren't many politicians in reality so ugly?
Judy overcame external discrimination and successfully solved the case, which proved the narrowness of racial prejudice. However, at the press conference, she blamed the crime on the innate DNA of different races. As a victim of racial prejudice, Judy inadvertently became the initiator of racial discrimination against predators. Is there a deep-rooted prejudice against others like Judy in our hearts?
Vice Mayor Yang, who is usually gentle and kind, is driven by the mayor of the lion, and is originally a weak party. She planned such a huge conspiracy with her heart. She was not satisfied after she became a regular, and she was still hurting and expelling predators. When the weak hold power, they become the perpetrators. Power corrupts people's hearts, so much so!
Watching Zootopia several times and paying attention to every detail of the film will give you a deeper understanding of Disney's professionalism.
The title Zootopia means Zoo+Utopia, which means Utopia Zoo. The English version of the name Zootropolis means zoo+metropolis, which means zoo metropolis. The title of the film is highly consistent with the theme, hiding mystery.
Friends who have raised rabbits know that when rabbits are nervous and afraid, their noses twitch. Watch the film carefully, whether Judy meets the bad fox who bullied her as a child or confronts the black boss, her little nose is twitching slightly.
When Judy and Nick entered the parking lot, Nick climbed over the wall to enter. Notice Judy dug a hole in it. However, digging holes is the rabbit's racial talent, and the cunning rabbit has three caves.
Nick likes blueberries. When he was on the farm truck, he wrapped some blueberries in a handkerchief. And these blueberries are just used to replace the crazy potion of Pekry, the vice city of sheep.
Speaking of blueberries, I have to mention that Judy's color is blue, which is exactly the color of blueberries that Nick likes to eat. Nick's colors are orange and green. Isn't that Judy's favorite carrot color?
When it comes to switching crazy potions, careful viewers may find that other animals' eyes will change color when they are crazy, while Nick's eyes will not change color when he pretends to be crazy.
Judy wrapped her mobile phone in a bag and jumped into the toilet to escape. Even after severe vibration and long immersion, no one will question why the mobile phone is not broken, right?
In the first half of the film, Nick always called Judy's surname Hoops or nicknamed Carrot, but he escaped from the cliff shelter and fell into the water. When Nick was anxiously looking for Judy, his name changed from Hoops to Judy. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and a crisis is sincere. Nick's love for Judy and the people he loves can be understood only from the change of address.
Judy was a little nervous at the press conference and put forward the predator threat theory that might cause panic. After leaving office, when she asked Mayor Yang how he answered, Mayor Yang said, "You answered very well! Better than I thought! " Seeing this, you may think that this is Mayor Yang's comfort and encouragement to Judy. Finally, you will be surprised to find that Mayor Yang is happy because Judy is good at answering the conspiracy against her.
All the endings have been written and all the foreshadowing has been buried.
Director Zootopia once said that Zootopia may be the one with the most eggs in Disney animation. Appropriate eggs will not only make the audience play, but also make the audience resonate greatly. When the audience smiled, they had given Zootopia full marks. Not afraid of its pride.
Judy and Nick fell into the hands of Mr. Big Black, a shrew (one of the smallest land mammals) during the investigation. Mr. Da and Marlon Brando in The Godfather are identical in appearance, movement, accent and lines.
Because Frozen's screenwriter Phil Johnston and director Jennifer Lee both participated in the production of Zootopia, Zootopia has more eggs about Frozen. If nothing else, let's talk about a sentence that Director Niu of the police station said to Judy in class: "Life is not a cartoon musical that makes your dreams come true. Let go! " When I watched the movie in the cinema, when Let It Go came out, half the audience couldn't help singing!
When Nick and Judy were catching a poisonous sheep on the old train, the sheep said on the phone while cooking: Walter and Jesse (the other two sheep) are back. And this happens to be the names of the two protagonists in Breaking Bad. You can imagine the cheers of fans of Breaking Bad here.
And Mr. Otton's comments on 1977' s famous puppet show Emmett.
Otter's Jug-Band pays tribute to Christmas special edition, and the coffee shop named Lucky Cat Cafe next to the department store pays tribute to Hero 6 and so on.
I wonder if fashion brands such as DKNY, PRADA and Burberry, and Internet technology companies such as Google and Apple have paid Disney enough advertising fees.
Different from the blunt advertising placement in domestic movies, you are afraid that you can't see the brand logo. Most brands in Zootopia are carefully implanted in the inconspicuous corner of the movie after passing through the cottage. When you find out, you won't be disgusted, you will only be complacent about your carefulness and keenness, and show a knowing smile.
The Animal City Times held by Vice Mayor Yang is a copy of the famous The New York Times. In the mini-town, Ms. Mouse carries a "Targoat" paper bag, behind which is Mousey department store, and Target department store and Macy's department store are knockoffs. In the mobile phone of the polar bear bodyguard, Google becomes "Zoogle". The carrot logo bitten on the back of police officer Bao's mobile phone is a fake iphone. Judy made a video call with her parents using MuzzleTime. ...
Taking Disney's sincerity like Zootopia as the benchmark, it is really harsh to measure the domestic animation that started late and developed slowly.
China's unhealthy market and insufficient understanding of the commercial value of animation make it difficult to find investment.
The audience of China animation tends to be younger, and the market is flooded with pleasant goats and bears.
Impetuous mentality, lack of "necromancer" in technical special effects, and five-hair special effects are rampant.
The development of animation lags far behind that of Japan, and there is a serious shortage of animation script writers, which leads to the lack of animation soul and congenital deficiency.
These are the dilemmas of domestic animation at present.
Even so, on 20 15, we also saw a domestic masterpiece, The Return of the Great Sage of Journey to the West, which performed well in plot conception and animation special effects. How many people, when seeing the scene that the Great Sage regained his immortal power and turned the stone into a robe, regained their childhood blood and were moved, and tears filled their eyes again.
However, we can't keep the Monkey King as a super IP all our lives!
I sincerely hope that domestic animation practitioners will work hard, meditate, learn to imitate and catch up.
Give some strength and fight for breath! I want to dedicate the next animated movie ticket and the next knee I sincerely gave to domestic movies, okay?
