Film Review of The Adventures of Sloppy King

Twenty-seven years ago, as the first animated TV series in China, The Adventures of the Sloppy King not only made everyone know the sloppy king who didn't like cleanliness and liked to play, but also the familiar and catchy song Little Sloppy, Really Sloppy is still very popular today. That sentence: "Eating unclean is not a disease" is still the mantra of everyone's jokes. The story of "Sloppy King", rhubarb dog and Xiaohua Mall strayed into the "underground mouse kingdom" was fixed as the collective memory of a generation of small audiences in China. As the first film of Meiying Classic Theater in the film studio, the news of the release of the film version of The Adventures of the Sloppy King has aroused strong nostalgia, and many netizens in Weibo have said that "this is my favorite cartoon when I was a child" and "it is very classic".

Sloppy King's character is a little rebellious and self-deprecating, with a sense of humor, but witty and brave, with a clear love and hate, and a strong sense of social responsibility. To some extent, he shares the same interests with modern teenagers and can resonate with them. The mouse images in the film are different and have their own unique personalities, which makes the whole film look unfamiliar rather than stereotyped, forming an unexpected aesthetic freshness. Even so, there is still a strong sense of advance. For example, the mouse in the film has a special shape, such as a green-haired mouse with a hedgehog-like arrow on its back; Red-haired mouse whose tail can be launched into the sky like a spring; Rattus flavipectus has a long serrated mouth that can cut steel. Mice also have strange personalities. For example, the mouse king loves to smell gas and oil and dreams that he is the long ball of the earth. Rats like dancing; The princess is obsessed with fireworks at human weddings. In addition, the unique imaginative plot also adds a lot of interest to the film, such as the ingenious mouse pie; The vulgar wedding of the upstart country mouse king and princess. It is worth mentioning that the discussion of "environmental protection" in this cartoon is still the most concerned topic at present, and it is still instructive even today. The above reasons are the significance of restoring this film.

As a bright pearl in the representative works of the film studio, King Sloppy represents an era, one of our bravest and most naive times. Judging from our current aesthetics, the former "Sloppy King" was also a full-fledged hipster, with explosive heads, bell bottoms and sea soul shirts, which were sloppy and unrestrained, and instantly ignited the vitality of fashion.
