In the spring of 2016, Disney had a very special cartoon that was popular all over the world. It fascinates countless children and falls in love with them. yes, this cartoon is " Zootopia ".
During the release of Zootopia, it won a box office of $1 billion worldwide, was selected as one of the top ten films by American Film Society , and won the Best Animation Feature Film Award at the 89th Academy Awards. The reason why this movie has achieved such a great achievement and has been loved by audiences around the world is inseparable from its careful production.
From the details of each animal's limbs and living habits, to the settings of the entire scene, every frame is a beautiful audio-visual feast.
The story logic of "Zootopia" is not complicated, it is a standard Disney-style growth history, but this time the protagonist is a rabbit, and her "prince" is a fox . They meet in a city where all animals can walk upright. However, this city is as complex as the human world. Under its prosperous appearance, there are many unknown stories hidden. Racial discrimination, workplace bullying, gender discrimination, hardships among the lower class, gang struggles, political disputes... There are many problems in the human world, in the Zootopia. The cleverness of this movie is that it is to de-seducation without losing its childishness. While depicting a different "animal utopia" for the children, it also allows adults to see many different life philosophy and have different practical significance.
This is also one of the reasons why it can still be ranked top 250 in Douban movies after 6 years. Every detail is worth pondering, and every picture is worth pondering repeatedly. During the release of "Zootopia", there has been news that Disney is preparing for the second part. Six years have passed, and although the second movie is still far away, it is waiting for its spin-off series - "Zootopia +".
However, the protagonist this time is not the "rabbit fox CP", but the supporting animals flashing through the movie. There are 6 episodes in total, each episode looks like about 7 minutes. Although it is short, it also continues the super high production level of the main film, which is thought-provoking, but it is also very healing. The most valuable thing is that although the spin-off drama is short, the positive core of the story is not weakened. If the main film of "Zootopia" brings us the meaning of being brave to try and breaking prejudice, and every episode of the spin-off drama has a philosophy of life that goes beyond the story itself, waiting for us to discover.
Let me share with you two more impressive stories in the derivative drama. The Godfather of the Bride PART 1
Around Mr. Big, there are a group of polar bears guarding him all year round, and he is the most respected absolute boss in the Zoo City. This setting makes people wonder how it does this, and all of this has answers in the spin-off drama.
The young man left his hometown with his grandmother and traveled thousands of miles to the Zoo City. And the Zoo City at that time was not as harmonious as it is now. All facilities are prepared for large animals, and small animals like them have little room for survival. I can only risk my life and live in traffic lights, cracks in the walls... Even if I cross the road, I have to worry about whether the large animals will step on them to death.
The smart big man saw this business opportunity and opened a cake shop with his grandmother.Grandma is responsible for the production, he is responsible for delivering food, serving small animals, so that everyone can get a sense of belonging in the cold city.
The young man, like the human who just went to the city to work, was a very kind young man. When he saw the polar bear on the street, it was almost hot, so he paid for the polar bear to buy an ice cream out of his own pocket.
Little kindness moved the polar bear family. They began to help the big man deliver takeout to other large animals, and their business grew bigger and bigger. They also became good friends with other small animals and lived a free life. But people are bullied by others. Mr. Da’s business has caused jealousy from the Rhino Gang. They demolished Mr. Da’s home and snatched Mr. Da’s property from him, wanting to drive him out of the Zoo City.
Even though the figures are huge, the eldest gentleman did not bear to speak up and let the Rhino Gang bully. With his flexible figure and the help of his friends, he taught the leader of the Rhino Gang a lesson.
After this battle, the great man became famous and conquered the subordinates of the Rhino Gang and became the most respected godfather in the Zoo City.
The story of Mr. Big is actually the history of the struggle of the little people. They have no background advantages, no extraordinary education or skills, they are out of place, and they are bullied. But they can also create their own world if they are down-to-earth and willing to work kindly with others. So the young people who are still lying flat still work hard like the big man! supper is a bit urgent PART 2
He saved up his salary for several months just to be able to go to Xia Qiyang's concert and have a close contact with his idol. In order to get off work on time, he quickly serves every customer and meets the needs of all customers as much as possible.
Just as he was sure to win and counting down the time to get off work, two customers he least wanted to see appeared in the restaurant.
That's right, it's everyone's favorite sloth lightning and his girlfriend in the main film. The characteristics of
Lightning are as slow as ever. In order to get them to order food quickly, Sam got off work on time and even moved the table in front of them. But ordering is still a problem, and they don’t like it if Sam recommends it. Whenever Sam planned to let them see first and he quickly went to serve other guests, Lightning would definitely jump out and say that he had a good view and he would order food now. Sam couldn't leave at all, and customers at other tables kept urging him.
Finally, I finally ordered a bottle of sparkling wine. But when Sam was drinking, he was too excited and the cork broke out, hitting almost all the customers present.
All animals were angry and wanted to settle the score with Sam, and the boss wanted to fire him. It was originally a harmonious and beautiful night, and it was about to be destroyed. I couldn't keep my job and couldn't watch the concert. Sam almost despaired.
At this moment, Lightning took out the wedding ring that had been prepared and proposed to his girlfriend. This move attracted the attention of all customers, and all the animals were happy about the proposal of the two and stopped pursuing Sam's responsibility.
But after all, Sam couldn't catch up with Xia Qiyang's concert anyway. Unexpectedly, the next second, Lightning also took out the tickets for the concert. It turned out that they were going to listen to Xia Qiyang's concert.
After the screen, a sports car running on the side of the road was stopped by Judy police officer.
This scene also corresponds to the ending of the main movie, explaining that the reason why lightning speeds is to go to the concert.
The connotation of the story of Sam and Lightning is relatively simple.
It does not tend to grow, but tells us that life is always full of accidents and episodes.
Sometimes you think this is a disaster, a heavy blow from life, but mainly you are willing to calm down and think about the problem from a different perspective, and you will find that everything is not as bad as you imagined.
It’s a blessing to lose your horse.
In addition to these two episodes, there are four stories about Judy's parents' "Operation Jumping", Godfather and Daughter Lulu's "Life of a Lady in Small Rodent Town", Weasel Thieves' "Duke Musical", and Police Officer Benjamin and Chief Niu Head. Each episode is equally exciting. The spin-off of
While enriching the main plot, it also gives us a deeper understanding of the whole story.
also makes people look forward to the release of the second part. I believe this day will not last too long. After all, the spin-off dramas are coming, will the second season be far away?
