"Are you ready kids? Aye, Aye, Caption! I can't hear you! Aye, aye, captain!!! Oh~!!!"
I believe that every friend who has watched " SpongeBob " has been engraved into DNA by such a sound. In the past, every night at 8 o'clock, everyone would turn on the TV on time to transfer to " Anime World " broadcast on the Central Children's Channel.
It was at that time that we realized the small yellow square of this big pineapple living on the bottom of the sea.
On November 29, B site officially announced that the genuine animation of "SpongeBob SquarePants" has been launched on B site, and it provides dubbing in Chinese and English versions, totaling 161 episodes. Once the
message was released, everyone opened the home page of B station as soon as possible, clicked to enter the play channel of SpongeBob SquarePants, and stopped in the barrage of the animation.
Currently, SpongeBob's Chinese and English versions have a high score of 9.9 points on B, and the praise rate has almost reached 100%. It can be seen that after more than ten years, everyone still likes SpongeBob so much.
01. I'm ready!
"SpongeBob SquarePants" is an American comedy animation that was broadcast on Nickelodeon in July 1999. It is directed by Sherman Cohen, Wat Duch, Sam Henderson, Paul Tibitt, Walter Dawn and others. The original author Stephen Helenberg and Tim will serve as screenwriter.
animation tells the various interesting daily life between a yellow sponge living in the Pineapple House and the people around him in the deep sea. Most of the stories happen in the series are caused by the troubles created by SpongeBob, but he is always lucky to handle them well.
Even though there are many works with animals as the theme elements in this world, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is still unique in it, not only because of the various exaggerated content that does not conform to scientific common sense, but also the highly human socialized marine life , but more importantly, the protagonist is a sponge.
Although many people in reality know that sponges are animals, it is difficult for ordinary people to compare them with other animals because they look lifeless, embedded like stones and motionless in the seabed, and the physiological characteristics of animals are completely unseen.
However, the appearance of SpongeBob SquarePants has broken this reality. It not only speaks, but also has a rich expression, a particularly cheerful personality, and is full of various fantasies, which is in great contrast to the sponge creatures in reality.
For example, one of his catchphrases, "I'm ready", sounds very energetic. It is precisely this contrast that makes the character SpongeBob SquarePants leave a deep impression in the eyes of many viewers, which also makes it easier for everyone to enter the story of "SpongeBob SquarePants".
The series stories of "SpongeBob SquarePants" are in unit dramas. Usually, each episode contains two stories. In addition to some episodes, some special episodes are also a single episode and a whole story.
For example, "Christmas", "Carnival Party", "The Story of Ancient SpongeBob SquarePants", "Flying SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Little Snail Is Missing", "Atlantis Treasure Hunt" and other series are all a whole story.
In addition, the animation not only contains fixed cartoon scenes and characters, but occasionally interspersed with real objects or characters. For example, in the plot of "Pencil Man", there is a real painter who likes to draw with pencils, or a person who suddenly appears in "Real and False Boss Crabs".
and another old friend we will see in special episodes such as "Christmas" and "Carnival Party" mentioned above.
The actor of this character is Tom Kenny, and he is also the original dubbing of the protagonist SpongeBob. In addition, the captain in the oil painting in the opening song is also him.(CCTV dubbing is Jia Xiaojun , and it is also the dubbing of the boss)
Everyone knows that the name "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not only the title of the animation, but also the name of the protagonist of the animation.
But you also need to understand that the name "SpongeBob" is not the correct translation of the original title. The original name of the animation is "SpongeBob SquarePants", which is directly translated as "SpongeBob SquarePants". The exact name should be "SpongeBob SquarePants". Although the title name of
is inaccurate, it vividly summarizes the overall character of this yellow sponge.
If you observe carefully, you will find that SpongeBob is actually an "adult". It has its own formal job, a house to live alone, know how to take care of itself, and from time to time, you have to go to the teacher Puff 's boating school to take the driver's license. In some occasions, others also call it "Mr. SpongeBob".
But at the same time, it has some behavioral hobbies that are completely different from adults, such as catching jellyfish , blowing bubbles, often playing some childish games with friends Pai Xing , and naively believing in "magic conch". The most important thing about
is that the SpongeBob in the story always acts as carefree and free as a child, and his words and deeds do not have the temperament or worries of adults at all, so the name "SpongeBobby" is also very appropriate.
Similarly, the translation of other characters also has its local characteristics. For example, the original name of Patrick Star is literally translated as Patrick Star, The literal translation of the squidward Tentacles is Squidward Tentacles, and Beach Castle was originally called Bikini Beach.
, and Sea Superman and Ocean Ranger . In the early translation, it was called Mermaid Warrior and Penguin Boy. In terms of personal ideas, the latter sounds more interesting.
"SpongeBob SquarePants" animation has been aired for more than 20 years. The total number of episodes of the animation has now reached 241 episodes, with a total of eleven quarters released. Currently, only 161 episodes have been listed on the B station. It is said that the animation was crazyly loved by children and even adult audiences as soon as it was broadcast.
This work has won the American Children's TV cartoon ratings championship. It has ranked first among the American cable network for eight consecutive years. It has nearly 60 million viewers watch every month. In addition to children's viewers, half of the audience are adults.
Interestingly, not only adults and children in the United States watch it, but even the audiences in our country who have seen it since childhood still enjoy watching it. Sometimes parents can't help but say helplessly when they see it, "Why are you still watching SpongeBob SquarePants?"
So the question is, why is this animation that has been watched several times since childhood still so popular?
02. It’s not just because it’s good-looking
SpongeBob SquarePants can watch it so much, but there are some people who say what’s the specific good-looking html.
As mentioned earlier, the animation content of "SpongeBob SquarePants" is about various things that do not conform to scientific common sense. For example, you can make a fire in the sea, live in the water but still have to take a bath, and you also have to set up a swimming pool to swim in the sea, etc.
But it is precisely because the animation does not adhere to scientific common sense at all that the story plot can be more imaginative, or it can be said that it can be as interesting as it is, allowing the creators and characters to open their minds.
Take the episode "Bubble Shop" as an example. After SpongeBob completes a set of "warm-up exercises", he can blow out various vivid bubbles - including ducks, caterpillars, cruise ships, elephants, butterflies, and those bubbles also come with corresponding sound effects.
When it comes to Brother Octopus, not only does it take to blow hard, but the bubbles he blows are also not decent. Of course, it is at least better than Patrick who can't blow at all before.
Although the plot of this story is very unscientific, because there are too many laughs in it, it makes everyone ignore those unscientific things and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the animation itself. This is also the advantage that a good work should have.
In addition, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is one of the animation works recognized by netizens as better than the original ones. Especially in the past, when the dubbing level of Mandarin animations was generally not satisfactory enough, there are very few overseas animations that can achieve better than the original ones. Behind the good reviews in
are naturally those outstanding mainland voice actors. For example, SpongeBob's CCTV version dubbing , Chen Hao teacher, has very rich dubbing experience. His works have participated in cover animation, games, movies, TV series and other fields.
Under Teacher Chen's passionate interpretation, SpongeBob's own interesting personality expression became quite that flavorful, especially the iconic laughter became more impressive than the original.
In addition to SpongeBob, Li Jing from " Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World " is also dubbed by him. In addition, he is also the official dubbing of the kung fu superstar Donnie Yen , and his status is equivalent to the relationship between Stephen Chow and Shi Banyu .
Another is the late voice actor Li Yi teacher. He specializes in dubbing Brother Octopus in the animation. His thick and magnetic voice well shows the character's social nature.
And Teacher Li Yi was once a famous announcer of Central People's Radio Station, and was a former professor of at Communication University of China. He has participated in the dubbing of a large number of TV series, translated films, special films, and advertising films.
Even the teacher admitted before his death: "I don't have any style, I just don't want to limit my own path too narrowly. As long as I am a mature middle-aged man, I can show it. It's okay to match the lyrical ones, it's okay to match the majestic ones, and it's not bad to match the nerves. Therefore, people in the circle say, 'Li Yi is good, you can come anything'."
Of course, there are many experienced and capable voice actors in the CCTV version of "SpongeBob SquarePants". Due to limited space, I won't explain them in detail.
However, it should be noted that the Chinese version of Bilibili "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the first 87 episodes were all the CCTV versions we were familiar with when we were childhood, and the ones that were followed were the Mandarin versions of Taiwan.
But the story is happy and interesting and has a good mid-range effect, which is not entirely the fundamental reason why everyone likes SpongeBob SquarePants.
Before B station introduced the "SpongeBob" animation, various related second creations appeared on the website. Among them, the most viewed one was the ghost video "a story about a normal person" edited with Pai Daxing's lines as the material. In the
video, the up owner is guided by the plot in the series "I Am Not Normal", thus unfolding a quote about Patrick's own outlook on life.
Although these lines have been edited and pieced together, they are very consistent with Papyrus's experience and thoughts. The pink starfish that seems to be stupid in the animation on weekdays seems to have become a master of life philosophy at this moment.
. In a hot comment below, a netizen also left a comment thoughtfully: When I was a child, I was wondering why Brother Octopus was always angry, but when I grew up, I couldn’t figure out why Patrick was always happy?
When the heart-wrenching truth was suddenly discovered, what followed was thinking about the core of the work "SpongeBob SquarePants".
I don’t know when it started, but this statement appeared on the Internet - when I was a child, I thought I could become a happy SpongeBob, but when I grew up, I became a squid brother.
What kind of personality is Brother Suiyu, he is frowning every day, rarely smiles on his face, lacks enthusiasm for life, and faces SpongeBob SquarePants who keep laughing all day long, he will only feel noisy.
However, it also has its own dreams and its own persistence. It thinks it has talent and real materials, but no one recognizes it, except for the SpongeBob, which he hates the most.
still remember an episode of Octopus saying something: "If one day I realize my dream, I will never let my feet stand on this greasy floor!"
Look at Octopus's life and personality, and listen to this sentence. Isn't this reflected behind us, the social animals who work in 996 every day?
And such magical realist plots that appear inadvertently are everywhere in the animation of "SpongeBob SquarePants".
After SpongeBob became rich overnight, he was surrounded by strangers who wanted to accompany wealthy people, but he only abandoned his best friend who had once had.
After the Pai Star was accidentally elected as king, he was very inflated and used his power to do whatever he wanted in Beech Castle. At the same time, he did not forget to tell others: "Life is unfair, so get used to you slowly!"
This animation that I watched when I was a child was a nonsensical one. Now when I grew up, I found that there were so many ironies in it, not like the childish and simple things that some people think. On the contrary, it has a certain topic philosophy.
So I think it is because of the combination of the above factors. This has made the children's animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" win the love of viewers including adults.
03. Conclusion
Although "SpongeBob SquarePants" has not yet been announced to have signs of completion, the current "SpongeBob SquarePants" is already very different from the past.
It is understood that the animation introduced by B station was broadcast in the ninth season in the plot, and the tenth and eleventh seasons did not introduce domestic channels before.
The reason is that the later animation plots have become more and more curious, the style has become more and more exaggerated, and even violent and disgusting; the second is that this phenomenon is related to the replacement of people in the production team. SpongeBob has updated so many episodes, and the directors are constantly changing.
And every director has different ideas and preferences. Being this way is also a way to attract new audiences, and today's directors may just be the kind of people who like to be curious. Changes like
are inevitable, and each long animation will easily become odorous after playing for a long time.
But no matter what, the previous "SpongeBob SquarePants" is still a classic animation worthy of repeated reminiscence.
I was very interesting and funny when I was a child. When I grew up, I was not only still interesting and funny, but also had certain life principles. You said that such works will still be liked by someone in ten years, right?
