The following is the introduction.

Compared with children, which animated film is more easily loved and accepted by adults? The answer is our green monster Shrek. In 200 1 year, this full 3D cartoon released by PDI/ DreamWorks made PDI beat rival Pixar for the first time, and helped DreamWorks replace Disney to win the best animated feature film award in 2002.

Shrek subverts the tradition of fairy tales and attracts audiences with humorous language and exaggerated humor. Of course, we can't ignore the excellent animation-except for the surface treatment of three-dimensional objects and the physical interaction between them (which is also compared with Pixar's top technology), the whole film is detailed and full of colors, which leaves a deep impression on people.

It is worth mentioning that this summer's sequel Shrek 2 is very fierce. Less than a month after its release, it has already broken Disney's record of $340 million in North American box office held by Finding Nemo, and now ranks sixth in the history of movies. It is estimated that the total box office of this film will reach 430 million US dollars (compared with the total box office of Spider-Man in 2002, it is only 403 million US dollars). Like the Scream series, the sequel to Shrek imitates many jokes from Hollywood movies, which has also become the reason why North American audiences who are close to movie fanatics flock to watch this movie repeatedly. Coupled with touching and warm stories, the green monster is so popular.

Shrek series, as a favorite cartoon of adults, is creating a new box office myth.

But if, like Spirited Away,

Look at this.

The following is the introduction.

Movies have a kind of magic that allows you to be in them. No matter how absurd the story is, a good movie will be like a good book, making the audience feel that they are experiencing a magical journey and soaring in fantasy. From 65438 to 0993, The Scare of Silent Night, directed by henry selick (Jumping Monkey) and played by tim burton (Edward Scissorhands and the Big Fish), is such a masterpiece.

This is the first full-length model animation in Hollywood. The film is funny and a little scary. With Broadway operas and gloomy pictures, it presents a tim burton-style black comedy style. This film is all made of clay models. In order to match the movements and expressions of the characters in the play, the staff made thousands of models, and made more than 400 model heads for the protagonist Jack alone! The film was shot in a stable state, one picture at a time, and played continuously like an activity, so it is also called an "animation". But this kind of animation is very time-consuming, and it often takes three working days to complete a five-second picture. Therefore, the skillful skills and smooth plot of Crying on Silent Night are even better!

In addition to the complicated process of making models, we can identify the fine textures of the scenes and characters in the film, and with the illumination in different directions, we can clearly see the hair of the characters. In the use of lens, the film also presents the atmosphere of classic horror films and the eccentric style of fantasy fairy tales, which perfectly shows tim burton's unique conception of the film. Therefore, the film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effect.

The film makes a clever satire on traditional festivals such as Christmas. In the story, Jack, the leader of Halloween City, took over Christmas and was so kind that people were happy. He distributed gifts according to the Christmas tradition-all kinds of weird and terrible toys-which caused great panic among people-one funny and beautiful joke after another. Although there are no snow and wishing socks in the traditional Christmas theme, the fright of Christmas Eve is unique and is known as the carnival of human fantasy.
