As early as 1999, Stephen Helenberg could not have known that his animation characters would have such a wide influence. After all, hand-painted two-dimensional animation also belongs to the category of pure art. The cartoon image of "SpongeBob" has also greatly influenced children. Its optimistic and calm attitude towards life has planted a positive seed in the process of children's spiritual growth.

With the Internet, SpongeBob came into being, caring for public life, it seems to be some soap opera-like life trivial matters, expressing the emotions that people are most likely to ignore, such as fatigue at work, cunning colleagues in the workplace, etc.

This movie was once aired in 170 countries, affecting at least two generations. It uses humorous dialogue language and exaggerated and funny action modalities, uses topics close to people's lives, and uses solutions in animation to provide people in life and work with ideas and relieve people's pressure.

So, I have to think of another animation master - Mr. Jinmin. Among the many works of Mr. Jinmin, the most well-known "Dream Inception: Red Pepper", and the editor thinks that his " Tokyo Godfather " is better. Of course, every one of his works is an animation classic, but I still want to say a few more words. , The excavation of the glory of human nature in the animation "Tokyo Godfather", a "pseudo-woman" is an alternative, monster, and weird in the eyes of many people. People often discriminate against them with traditional concepts, especially those conservatives (in our current real life, there are many old and stubborn people, such as Sima). It is this "pseudo-woman" who is looked down upon by others that has become the warmest "Tokyo Godfather". Yes, he picked up an abandoned baby, became a dad all night, and then took care of it wholeheartedly, looking for the baby's biological parents all night. From this clue unfolded, he connected many people, cared for the lives of many people at the bottom, and found their kind and helpless side. It can be said that Mr. Imato's book is one of the ten animation scripts I have collected and included in the book.

I have to sigh, it is not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, and there are no flowers after this flower blooms. These animation masters do not bloom for a while like summer flowers, but are as fragrant as autumn chrysanthemums , from autumn to winter. In addition, the animation mentioned here is an in-depth animation, which is recognized by the world as excellent animation, rather than a commercial animation similar to China's "Small Luo and Small Dou".

last sentence: Animators are really tired, especially two-dimensional hand-painted animators - these dynamic art workers, I hope everyone will take care of themselves and make greater contributions to China and the world.
