desktop, and I suddenly realize that 2018 is about to pass. However, Xiaodianjun is particularly excited about this, which means that the annual awards season is coming!
No, the shortlist for next year's Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film has been released. A total of 25 films have qualified. At first glance,
's film list this time seems to lack the big hits of the past two years, but upon closer inspection, it is still full of surprises.
's "Isle of Dogs", which just won the Berlin International Film Festival 's Best Director at the beginning of this year, was successfully shortlisted. New films from Disney and Pixar ("Wreck-It Ralph 3" and " The Incredibles ") are naturally Will not fall.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese animation "Big World", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival last year, also qualified, and the Taiwanese animation "On the Road to Happiness" was also successfully selected.
At the same time, the momentum of Japanese animated films is also very strong, with as many as 7 works shortlisted. The much-watched work "Future Mirai" by Mamoru Hosoda, and the two works "Spring Night is short, girl, go forward!" by Masaaki Yuasa! ""The Song of Dew Proclaiming the Dawn" were all successfully selected. This year's "Morning Flowers" , which won the best animation at the Shanghai International Film Festival , also won the finalist ticket.
So, today Xiaodianjun still wants to talk about his favorite videos.
"Wreck-It Ralph 2: Internet of Brains"
- OSCAR -
There is no doubt that this film must be the animated film that Xiaoden-kun is most looking forward to this year, if not one of them. The previous work of
was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Film that year and was also regarded as the number one seed. I never thought that this piece of cake would be snatched away by " Brave Legend " in the end. Of course, Pixar has long been in the arms of "Daddy Dee", and there is no difference between the two of them.
After 6 years, "Wreck-It Ralph 2" returns this time, and the battle is very big. This time, Destruction King still didn't want to stay idle. He didn't want to just stay in the video game world. Instead, he took the naughty girl Vanellope to the unknown and exciting virtual online world. In addition to looking forward to this story,
was also shocked by the copyright of "Daddy Di"'s big show. html Warner's live-action movie " Ready Player One " six years ago has made many viewers high. This time it is finally Disney's turn to hold numerous big IPs (Pixar animation, Marvel series, Star Wars series, Fox...).
In just a short trailer, there are almost too many familiar figures to count. The Disney princess meme was once spoiled.
show copyright, Disney has never been afraid.
How can Xiaodian not look forward to this "making trouble" method? I'm just sitting here waiting for it to be released.
" The Incredibles 2"
- OSCAR -
Among Xiaoden-kun's top ten private animations, "The Incredibles" has a status that cannot be shaken. Therefore, I am actually slightly disappointed with "The Incredibles 2", but overall, it still has little surprises that are very worthy of praise. The 8.0 rating on Douban may prove it.
's previous work very conceptually used images to discuss "should Superman be banned by law" . This is also something that has been continuously discussed in the "Avengers" series since then. But in this film, the screenwriter made certain changes, adding topics of female consciousness and family relationships, and changed it to discuss Superman's image and public relations.
In this film, Superman's youngest son Ba Xiaojie begins to play the leading role, and his superpowers have become his own cuteness. His several interactions with Superman have become a good laugh point in the film.
The scene where Xiaojie uses his superpowers to fight a raccoon on his own lawn can be said to be the biggest highlight of the whole film. It has a bit of a cult scene, and it is obviously the authorial consciousness implanted by director Brad Bird.
At present, "The Incredibles 2" once again challenges superhero live-action movies from multiple perspectives in terms of narrative and conception.
" The Grinch "
- OSCAR -
This year Minions is absent from the animated movie market, but don't worry, Illumination Entertainment, which has gained momentum recently, will not miss it easily.
"The Grinch" is his most recommended work this year. The film is adapted from the famous best-selling children's book by "Dr. Seuss". The story is very simple. The protagonist is a green monster, the Grinch. Because he hates Christmas very much, he steals all Christmas gifts in order to prevent people from celebrating Christmas. . In the end, it was an innocent little girl who melted his cold heart.
Illumination Entertainment’s animation stories in recent years have been very simple, but they can always create a cartoon image of “ is cute but shameful ”. I wonder what cute little creatures will be in “The Grinch” this time?
Illumination Entertainment has been fond of embedding cartoon characters from past films in its works in recent years. Will the absent minions appear in a special way?
However, the most anticipated thing is that the character of Grinch in animation is dubbed by our "curly" Benedict Cumberbatch. This sexy dubbing alone is worthy of inclusion. Want to see on the list.
"Isle of Dogs"
- OSCAR -
It is said that Oscar owes "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" a statuette, and it is time to pay it back this time. In the year of , Wes Anderson's also lost to the Pixar animation "Up". It seems that it is not easy to take away the statuette from Pixar.
No, Wes Anderson is back with "Isle of Dogs".
The film won the Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival two years ago. During the creation process of the film, director Wes Anderson drew on Japanese director Kurosawa Akira and referred to many of his films in the 1960s. The image of Mayor Kobayashi in the film was based on Toshiro Mifune, who starred in many of Akira Kurosawa's films.
This film uses a chapter narrative, and the whole film is divided into five parts: Prologue, Little Pilot, Searching for Dots, Meeting Point, and Atari's Lamp. The film has a fast pace, and the director also interspersed several flashbacks. If you don't understand the structure of the film in advance, you will easily be confused. And this is precisely the shortcoming of this way of telling.
Of course, this time the film still retains Wes Anderson’s aesthetic style that was praised by movie fans. At the same time, in addition to composition, the colors in Wes Anderson's movies are also quite eye-catching, and bright and vivid tones have become standard in movies.
This film can be said to be the masterpiece of Wes Anderson's past. Perhaps the Academy should give more encouragement to this type of work.
"Big World"
- OSCAR -
The shortlisting of this film is a surprise for Chinese audiences. Director Liu Jian's second film was shortlisted for the main competition section of the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival, and also received good reviews at the time. The most valuable thing about the
film is that among current Chinese film creations, there are very few that can portray the city and characters in which they live so accurately and at the same time in the form of animation.
In addition, this animation shows to the public that in addition to the current industrialized animation market, there is also a craftsman like Liu Jian, who can be responsible for directing, painting, screenwriting, dubbing, etc. in an animation. 20 positions.
Just like at the beginning of the animation, the director quoted Tolstoy, "Spring is still spring." For the director, this market is spring. No matter what the final result is, at least there will be another "Going to College" in the future. Well worth the wait.
"On the Road to Happiness"
—— OSCAR——
This animation can be said to be very ambitious. It uses the growth of a little girl to connect the changes of the entire Taiwan, China.
Of course, the film is also very careful. The director originally wanted to make a live-action film based on his own story, but due to financial and production considerations, it was turned into an animated film.The
animation won the Best Animated Film, the Million First Prize and the Audience Choice Award at this year’s Taipei Film Festival. It was also strongly shortlisted for the Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Animated Feature Film at the Golden Horse Awards.
Generally speaking, this animation brings some personal feelings and combines more big picture, but at the end of the story, it brings you back to real family life, perhaps the so-called "road to happiness". Not only is the "Happiness Road" where the movie takes place, but it really conveys that kind of warmth and happiness.
"Morning Flowers and Evening Oaths"
- OSCAR -
Director Mari Okada can be said to be a high-profile screenwriter of Japanese animation in recent years. This transition to being a director was also very stressful for her, but fortunately she chose a A very familiar theme story. When the
film was released in Japan, it also received many praises from Makoto Shinkai, and later won the best animated feature film at the Shanghai International Film Festival. It can be said that the quality of is very guaranteed.
There have been rumors that the film is expected to be introduced. Now with so many awards, we are waiting for the film to be released as soon as possible.
