The film is adapted from the well-known best-selling children's book of the same name, published by British writer Eric Mobley Knight in 1938. It tells the story of Lacey, who was reluctantly sold to the Duke by his owner during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Due to longing f

Lacey "Lacy the Dog"

"Lacy the Dog" 1943) starring Elizabeth Taylor, who was only 11 years old at the time, created the first (and perhaps the most famous) dog star in the history of the movie - the Scottish Sheepdog Lacey. The film is adapted from the well-known best-selling children's book of the same name, published by British writer Eric Mobley Knight in 1938. It tells the story of Lacey, who was reluctantly sold to the Duke by his owner during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Due to longing for his owner, he traveled across mountains and rivers to return to his owner's arms. The film showed the deep emotions between Lacey and her owner vividly and touchingly, and thus started the fixed routine and model of similar films emphasizing dog loyalty. After

was released, "Lacie the Dog" became very popular, and Pal, the dog who played Lassie, became a highly recognizable "star". Taylor received only a weekly salary of US$100 when he starred in this film, but Pal received US$250. Since then, the producer MGM has struck while the iron was hot and filmed a series of seven movies with Lacey as the protagonist. TV series and radio dramas based on this story have also emerged in endlessly over the decades. In 2005, "Lacy the Dog" was remade again, but no matter how it was later remade, the original version played by Pal is still the most popular. Pal later retired at the age of 5 and bid farewell to the screen completely, but the dog used to play Lassie in every subsequent film was his direct descendant.

Hachiko's "The Story of Hachiko"

If Lacey is the most famous dog in the history of movies, the only one who can possibly shake his status in the contemporary era is Hachiko. The loyal dog Hachiko is a true story that happened in Japan. The Japanese Akita dog Hachiko was born in Odate in 1923. In 1924, he was adopted by his owner Ueno Eisaburo and brought to Tokyo. Every morning, Hachiko would watch his master go to work at the door of his house, and in the evening, he would go to the nearby Shibuya Station to pick him up and take him back to his home. One night, Eisaburo Ueno suddenly suffered a heart attack while working and died despite ineffective rescue efforts. However, Hachiko still stood faithfully in front of Shibuya station just like every day in the past, no matter rain or shine, waiting for his master to come home. This wait lasted for 9 years until his death on March 8, 1935. In 1933, "Asahi Shimbun" published Hachiko's deeds, and Hachiko quickly spread throughout Japan as a symbol of extreme loyalty. In 1934, people even erected a statue in his honor at the place where Hachiko waits every day. Hachiko died the next year and was buried with his master Eisaburo Ueno.

Hachiko's story was originally adapted into a film by Japanese director Seijiro Kamiyama in 1987 and later remade in 2009 by Lese Hallström. Most domestic audiences have seen the later American version. Hallström's portrayal of the relationship between the master and Hachiko, especially the training of the dog actor, is indeed better than the Japanese version. In the Japanese version, Hachiko often lacks interaction with the characters, but in the American version, Hachiko's colorful expressions add a lot to the film.

Leach/Feng Lian Xiaoxiong/Dalang/Jiro "Antarctic Story"

In Japan, Hachiko has long become a legend, but in the hearts of many people, the eight Antarctic sled dogs may be a miracle worth remembering.

In 1955, Japan intended to participate in international organizations' observations of Antarctica. The scientific expedition team recruited sled dogs from across the country, and finally decided to use sled dogs (also known as Sakhalins). In February 1958, a Japanese observation ship picked up the first batch of wintering team members from the Antarctic base. Before leaving, they tied up 15 birch dogs and left them for the second batch of team members who were about to come to take over. Unexpectedly, due to extremely bad weather, the second batch of team members was unable to complete the handover as originally planned. All team members will return home together, while the 15 birch dogs in the base were left behind in the ice and snow of the Antarctic continent.

Of the 15 birch dogs left in the Antarctic, 7 died soon after they failed to break free from their chains. The remaining 8 animals gradually broke free from their chains and began their difficult journey of survival in the harshest environment. Leach is the oldest and their leader, while Feng Lian Xiaoxiong is the father of Taro and Jiro, and the navigator of the dog group. Eight sled dogs huddled together in the ice and snow, trying their best to search for any possible food in the gaps in the ice and snow.They catch fish that occasionally jump on the ice, and even hunt seals. At the same time, they have to face plunder and harassment from enemies that are far more powerful than themselves (such as whales ). During hunting operations again and again, dogs died one after another due to various accidents.

The teammates who returned to Japan naturally thought that the dogs could not survive in Antarctica where there was an extreme lack of food. The inhumane act of abandoning the dogs also caused them psychological torture. After returning home, they first apologized to the owners of the dogs one by one, and then erected a bronze statue to commemorate the sled dogs in Wakkanai City. A year later, the scientific expedition team landed in Antarctica again, but were surprised to find Taro and Jiro next to the base. Their survival is also regarded as the greatest miracle of life.

This legendary story was made into the movie "Antarctic Story" in 1983, starring national superstar Ken Takakura. The details about how the eight sled dogs foraged for food and survived were all the imagination of later people, and there is no way to test the facts. After the film was released, it caused a huge sensation in Japan, taking in 11 billion yen at the box office, ranking eighth in the historical box office list of Japanese local films. In 2006, Hollywood remade this story into "Antarctic Adventure", which also received good reviews. In 2011, Japan's Fuji TV even remade it into a 10-episode Japanese drama "Antarctica" as a grand gift for the 60th anniversary of Taiwan. It invited the national idol Kimura Takuya to star, Masato Sakai and Haruka Ayase to co-star, which shows how deeply the story of the Feng Lian bears is deeply rooted in the hearts of people in Japan.

Little Q "Guide Dog Little Q"

Compared with the excitement of the Antarctic sled dogs, the story of the guide dog Little Q tends to be ordinary and ordinary. "Guide Dog Q" directed by the famous Korean-American director Choi Yoichi in Japan is adapted from the novel "Goodbye, Kelu" by Japanese writer Ishiguro Kengo. It is a biopic about the Labrador guide dog Q (originally named Quill, which means feather, because at the root of its left hind leg, there is a nearly cross-shaped feather-like black birthmark, pronounced "Kelu" in Japanese) as the protagonist.

To become a qualified guide dog, the puppy must leave its mother at 45 days, live in a foster family until it is 1 year old, and then be sent to a guide dog training center for training. The training process is very rigorous, with strict and orderly courses on the dog's temperament, reactions, movements and other aspects. A guide dog that has completed training still has to go through multiple procedures to adapt to the blind owner and pass the trainer's guidance and test before it can become a real guide dog.

The video truly restores the process of Little Q's training, as well as the most difficult part of the process - the running-in with his master Mr. Watanabe ( Kaoru Kobayashi ). At first, Mr. Watanabe was reluctant to accept the service of a guide dog, but under Little Q's thoughtful "service", he gradually developed a tacit understanding and relationship with Little Q. While their relationship was warming up, Mr. Watanabe died of kidney failure, and Little Q had to return to the training center to wait for adoption by the next owner. However, when Little Q finally found his home after a long wait, his body found it difficult to support him.

"Guide Dog Little Q" does not have overly sensational scenes. Although it also makes people cry at many times, it is more touching through the delicate performance of ordinary bits and pieces in silent places. The unique significance of this tender sketch is that by writing about functional dog breeds such as guide dogs, it praises the unimaginable and huge sacrifices animals make in order to serve people, as well as the irreplaceable care and comfort they can give people.

Goofy's "Goofy Family"

Compared with the ever-changing loyal attributes of dogs in live-action movies, the dogs in the cartoons are undoubtedly more diverse. With the shackles and shackles of reality removed, not only does it become more natural for dogs to become owners, but various anthropomorphic settings also make them real stars with different personalities. If the dogs in live-action movies are mostly responsible for stirring up emotions and making people cry, the dogs in cartoons are good at making people laugh and make fun of them.

Thanks to the aura of the animation kingdom Disney, the clumsy Goofy (meaning stupid) has become the most famous dog in the animation industry.In the beginning, Goofy was just a passer-by in the Mickey Mouse cartoon, and acted as an audience member in the 1932 "Mickey's Revue". He stood out from the audience because of his hoarse laughter, which was impressive. At that time, Goofy was not called Goofy, but Dippy Dawg. It was still in 1939, when the animated short film "Goofy and Wilbur" came out, that the name was changed to Goofy. Since then, he has appeared as a supporting character in other Mickey Mouse cartoons, always appearing as a simple-minded, clumsy and greedy person. Goofy often messes up things when doing things, but because of his linear way of thinking, he can "see the essence of complex things" and has experienced countless adventures with Mickey .

In the 1940s and 1950s, Gao Fei and Mickey Mouse Donald Duck worked together in 48 animated short films, weaving beautiful childhood memories for countless audiences. In the 1990s, Goofy, who had only been able to act as a green leaf in the past, finally came out and reached the peak of his life in Disney's animated series "Goofy's Family" (1992).

Finally, in the Disney character pedigree, Goofy became as well-known as Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Duck. In fact, in the Mickey Mouse animation, there is also a famous dog-Mickey's pet Pluto. However, Pluto can only live in his doghouse miserably.

Shirayuki "The Adventures of Tintin"

If Goofy's fame is due to Disney, Shirayuki (also known as "Miro") is famous because of the big tree "The Adventures of Tintin".

"The Adventures of Tintin", created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé , is one of the most popular children's books in history. Since its publication in 1929, it has been translated into 58 languages, including Chinese, and has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. It is an out-and-out top celebrity in the comics industry. Tintin takes readers around the world in comics, focusing on adventure stories and supplementing them with science fiction. In the course of the intense and exciting adventure, anti-war and humanitarian ideas are spread. The protagonist Tintin is an upright and brave reporter who relies on his wisdom and courage to smash the evil forces' conspiracies time and time again. Bai Xue is Tintin's inseparable partner. Although he is naughty, he can always step forward at critical moments to help Tintin avoid danger.

In the 1960s, France produced two live-action movies that were independent of comics, "Tintin and the Golden Fleece" (1961) and "Tintin and the Blue Orange" (1964). Later, two animated films were produced in the early 1970s, "The Adventures of Tintin: The Temple of the Sun" (1971) and "The Adventures of Tintin: The Mystery of Shark Lake" (1972). In the 1990s, three seasons of TV animation jointly produced by France and Canada truly restored the depth of Hergé's original work to the screen. Later, the animated film series directed by Spielberg aroused the expectations and reveries of countless people around the world.

In the hands of Spielberg, "The Adventures of Tintin" was turned into the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" style treasure hunting adventure film that he is best at. The typical Hollywood chases and fights have somewhat eliminated the humor of the original work. Bai Xue, who is covered in snow, has become the most outstanding character in the film. His clever and wise performance is more than a little better than the clumsy Captain Haddock.
