nostalgia is like an adult's instinct. Every few years,
always pulls out some old antiques, old photos, old CD records...
proves that he has been younger, but also has a faint feeling of "the previous years are always more beautiful". Z1z
No, I recently pulled out an old animation to see it-
"Black Cat Sheriff"
In 1984, "Black Cat Sheriff", the poster says in blue font:
multi-set color cartoon.
However, 36 years have passed, but this cartoon still only has 5 episodes .
Many netizens said they couldn't believe it.
"It turns out that there are only 5 episodes~~~ How do you feel that the TV station has been broadcasting when you were young?"
A motorcycle went into the sky with a pistol to punish evil and promote good, which was regarded by many viewers as the "childhood god" .
He is with us, it's not like only 5 episodes.
But memory is always easy to betray human beings and be tampered with by emotion. After reviewing it again,
discovered that the disc of "Black Cat Sheriff" at home was only 5 episodes.
As in the previous 4 episodes, at the end of episode 5, the classic ending screen of Black Cat Sheriff appeared again. On the orange-red background wall of
, the pistol has 4 big characters:
, please see the next episode.
Countless children are waiting in front of the TV. I didn't expect this picture to be the last picture left in my mind. I didn't expect it to be our longest animated cartoon .
Until 2010, the movie "Black Cat Sheriff" appeared on the big screen. The movie version of
is adapted from the 84 animated version of "Black Cat Sheriff", the director is still the animated version of Grandpa Dai Tielang .
originally thought that the plot would continue, but in fact, the film version only re-edited and repaired from the 5 episodes of the old version. The main line of the story remained basically unchanged.
In addition to this version of the original director himself, there are two other works related to "Black Cat Sheriff".
One is "Black Cat Sheriff Part Two" directed by Fan Hui in 1993. The uniform of the police chief
black cat turned red, and his coat color changed from black and white to black.
Needless to say the plot, just this strange color scheme makes people not appreciate it.
even some netizens ridicule, this is no longer the black cat sheriff, but the black cat chief .
two is the big movie "Black Cat Sheriff: The Emerald Star" released in 2015.
was also criticized as ruining childhood, soulless, and a product of money trapping through feelings. The
Douban score is as low as 5.2, and more than half of the reviews are bad reviews. Compared with
, it seems that only the 84 version of the short 5-episode "Black Cat Sheriff" can stay in the hearts of the audience.
This animation won the Excellent Film Award in the first Chinese Children and Teenager Film Golden Bull Awards in 1985. Under the halo of
, there are also many collective memories of those born in the 80s and 90s. The
Douban score is still as high as 8.6.
It is a pity that director Dai Tielang died of illness on September 4, 2019 at the age of 89. After grandpa
left, this animation also officially ended.
The 4 words at the end of episode 5, "please watch the next episode", finally fell to the sea without any response.
On the other hand, "Black Cat Sheriff" has become a classic in the domestic animation world, and its status is as unshakable as a rock.
Regarding why only 5 episodes were stopped, was it blocked and hacked, or the so-called “internal power disputes” at the US factory, or the trend of the times.There are different opinions. There are many articles analyzed by
. If you are interested, you can pick up this history, but this is not the focus of this article.
I would like to ask a question more: Is the
84 version of "Black Cat Sheriff" really that classic? Is the Black Cat Sheriff really our idol and hero?
Of course, if you put it before the review, maybe this problem will not exist at all.
Who dares to say bad things about my childhood classic!
But after reviewing it, I have to have some complicated emotions towards "Black Cat Sheriff".
The first thing is that it is indeed everyone’s childhood memory killing, just the classic theme song:
"Ahhh~Black Cat Sheriff~~~~"
"Forest citizens salute you~Salute you~to Your salute~~~"
can make people sing it in one second. The mnemonic symbol buried deep in my heart like
is indelible.
The second reason is that if you watch this cartoon when you grow up, you will inevitably find too many unsatisfactory places.
In 1990, the then Deputy Director of the Production Division of the Film Bureau once wrote an article criticizing "Black Cat Sheriff". In the article, he pointed out: "
" only takes the series "Black Cat Sheriff" which is loved by children as an example. It is a pity that the structure is loose, there is no overall idea, the lack of perpetual action, the random arrangement of plots, the beginning and the end, and the interruption of production. This is a pity." The criticism of
is not unreasonable.
From the perspective of an adult, the script of "Black Cat Sheriff" does have a rough side. The main line of
revolves around the fleeing " one ear " , and the secondary line is spread out with people of various colors that "one ear" meets on the road.
However, the correlation between the secondary line and the main line of is not very strong, and is often the intersection of the area.
For example, in the second episode, "One Ear" and the big eagle talked less than three sentences, and the eagle went to commit the crime, which attracted the black cat sergeant and opened the deputy line. A connection like
is not only far-fetched, but also makes "one ear" more like a tool person , lacking a full image.
In addition to the script structure, there are also problems with "science popularization" .
Many viewers think that "Black Cat Sheriff" has the significance of popular science.
such as the recognized childhood shadow of , episode 4 "Mantis Eating Husband".
In this episode, Mrs. Mantis eats her husband on the wedding night. The plot of
is believed to be the biological habit of eating the male to complete reproduction after mating to the child science female praying mantis.
But in fact, the probability of a female mantis eating a male mantis after mating is only 30%, not all.
This is not for the reason that the female praying mantis is nourished to give birth to children, but is purely a hunting behavior .
The Black Cat Sergeant’s handling method was to listen to Mrs. Mantis’s side words, without discussing and studying, and announced on the spot that he would not be held accountable.
and said "respect" their reproductive behavior and encouraged her to have more offspring.
In other words, isn't it that encourages the praying mantis to eat too many husbands ?
In addition, several scenes in the play that render the love of the mantis couple are actually very beautiful.
The male praying mantis sits on the moon and plays the guitar for courtship, the confession after falling into the water, the forest citizens come to congratulate on the wedding... These bridges of
have already made the audience and the mantis couple in the play have empathy , Love has blessings .
But this love ended with the encouragement of Mr. Mantis's corpse and the Black Cat Sheriff’s proclaiming the truth, kindness and beauty, "More offspring".
How do children accept this?
even some netizens said: “
Does the fear come from the memories of childhood cartoons...OTZ...” Although
is exaggerated, the shadow of is not fake .
As for the black cat police chief's motorcycle can go to the sky and bullets can turn, it is purely a fairy tale Just look at it.
, but Newton is afraid to quit the video with tears. The last unacceptable thing about
is the collapse of the image of the black cat sheriff .
For 30 years, this black cat has remained for a whole generation. In my heart, he used the pronoun as a hero of .
saw him fire a firebomb to burn all the locusts, and laughed happily:
"Haha!" This is the best fertilizer! "The scene of

Is the we need to punish evil and promote good ?
is worthy of our thinking. Of course,
does not deny that there are some commendable advantages in "Black Cat Sheriff".
such as group dramas, smooth action dramas .
again For example, the design of the mantis husband.

are all popular products of 80s, and it can be seen that the production is very particular.
, but the most important plot , "Black Cat Sheriff" has many slots.
on depth , not as profound as "Cube Building", on popular science , not as good as the later "Haier Brothers".
and Black Cat Sheriff this one The main character, portrayed a lot of blame.
can only say that the childhood filter has added a lot of points to the "Black Cat Sheriff".
maybe this "domestic classic" only stays in the fifth episode, but instead It is precisely the best choice invisibly. At least in memory like
, the forest is still beautiful.
