This cartoon is full of the creator's strong bad taste.
After the little skeleton disappeared and the screen gradually turned black, it was not over yet.
Like the title, a new line of dark red blood-like fonts appeared again:
[Since then, the good boy Mosley has lived a happy life with his family. ]
Hehe, happy life
Are you kidding us
But familiar
So familiar!
Isn't this a standard sentence
Almost all fairy tales end with this sentence: [Since then, XX and XX have lived a happy life together. ]
But this cartoon also said the same... Too ironic, right
To come up with such a thing, can you be happy
Everyone invariably turned their complex attention to Sammy, the creator of the animation, who was still wandering.
However, this guy with a small round face, petite body, and dreamy pink hair, after noticing everyone's gaze, seemed to have no idea what hateful thing he had done, and returned it to them. A shy expression as tame and harmless as a Dutch lop.
Everyone: ... just pretend!
"Well, what did you say to me yesterday, Norris?"
In the silence, Helena, a beautiful woman from the International Affairs Department, took the lead.
She recalled that Norris was definitely a 'talkative' recommendation yesterday: "You said that today is a humorous and interesting cartoon that describes the mutual care of family members, and is full of warm affection?"
Norris of the Film and Television Entertainment Division did not want to speak.
Again, when people want to attract investment, they can say anything nonsense. He was also a victim himself. When he casually chatted about the cartoon, he didn't think about it at all. It was purely a retelling of the report that Rossi handed in at that time. Now...
Go so sweet!
He stared at this group of daring little bastards who even fooled himself with incomparable force, and his eyes were still a little red.
It can be seen that some people appear to be tough guys on the surface, but they are actually vulnerable on the inside.
Wesley from the product department took a deep breath, chubby like a harmless hippo.
He also sighed, but took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and asked jokingly, "How about giving me that little skeleton? I'll trade Donald Duck for you."
However, contrary to the sentimental attitude of these people, Ed from the Marketing Department is as realistic as ever.
He didn't care about Wesley's behavior to ease the atmosphere, and he was directly rude, but he did come to an unacceptable conclusion on a case by case basis: "I can't think of any way to deal with it."
Great truth!
This animation is a bit indescribable.
But all in all, not suitable for children to watch!
The overall atmosphere of the film is dark and depressing, not to mention, and even the plot is a bit too adult.
At first glance, it can be a little moving.
But the plot, in fact, there is no way to ponder.
For example, the last scene of the film is simply frightening!
Always appearing as black shadows, the adults who have not officially appeared finally all appeared on the screen. Under the bright sun, they embraced 'good boy back on track' Mosley warmly, then turned their heads in unison, looking at the camera and smiling.
At that time, everyone in the screening room probably didn't know what was going on, and almost gasped.
In the low and depressing background music, no matter how bright the light of the picture at this moment is, it is difficult to conceal the strangeness of the whole scene.
These dolls, except for the size, clothing, hairstyle, some have beards, some have no beards, some wear hats and some don't wear hats, they are exactly the same.
The identical clay dolls showed identical smiles that looked happy but were actually stiff, raised their heads in the same gesture as a family, and looked at the camera in unison, and behind them were the white ashes of small skeletons blown by the wind. powder
Holy crap, isn't this really a ghost movie
What's even worse is...
Until this moment, some more keen people noticed that the little puppet Mosley, who was supposed to have a triangular head, unexpectedly turned into a round face exactly like the adults.
Don't think about it, it's definitely not eating too much to get fat!
This is obviously assimilated!
The process of assimilation is undoubtedly extremely slow and silent, unconsciously, and changes little by little with the plot.
The changes are so subtle that people don't even notice them.
If it weren't for the last scene of 'a group of identical dolls standing together and showing identical smiles to the camera', this scene was so uncomfortable that people thought of 'what's going on', and everyone would probably ignore this point.
I never thought that the exact same, neat scene could be so scary!
So, what was going on in the head of that round-faced dwarf! How nasty it is to be able to come up with this kind of footage.
Accidentally thinking about it, it's just terrifying.
The changes of the puppets in the animation are so difficult to be found, so...
What about a real person
Individuality and diversity disappeared so quietly, it was a practical demonstration of an alternative domestication!
In this way, the dragon that has never appeared seems to be not just a child's fantasy.
As an image throughout the animation, what does it represent
Mosley and the little skeleton went out to fight bravely in the middle of the night, killing the dragon to protect everyone. What was the dragon they killed
What do you want to protect
Why do adults have to force Mosley to admit that there are no dragons in the world
What does this dragon mean
The more I think about it, the more I collapse.
Watching a cartoon that lasted less than ten minutes made your head explode and creepy? Too poisonous!
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that the animation is well done.
Although it is not good in the public sense, it is indeed unique and unique.
However, this is hard to do!
According to the ideas of a group of high-level executives, watching the experimental short animations independently produced by employees usually have two results. One is that the animation is very good-looking, then increase the cost and re-produce it to create a new boutique for the company; one is The animation is terrible, then beat these restless little guys and let them go back and follow the company's arrangement. What an indie animation.
But now, there is a third result that no one expected.
The animation is very exciting, although some people may not like this weird style, although the picture looks very simple due to the funds, but no one can deny that, if the full score is 100, this animation will definitely get 60 points, or even If you hit the right audience, you might get ninety percent.
But here comes the problem—the right audience.
In recent years, although Disney has been striving to diversify its products, strive to cover more age groups, and expand the market, in fact, the company's focus, or its foundation, has always been on children.
In order to make children like it and at the same time make parents trust Disney that they will always bring children-friendly products and always create dreams and hopes for children, it is not easy to come up with some dark values.
Disney's animation should be positive, healthy, safe, full of virtues such as happiness, friendliness, honesty, simplicity, industriousness, etc., instead of running to scare children and telling them 'don't believe if you are a good child' There are dragons'.
Maybe someday in the future, the company will try to create something a little more adult, but for now…
The time has not come.
Animation is good.
But sadly, there is no market to put it on.
Add extra money and make it into a long animation for adults
Still unrealistic. Whether or not it can make money is another matter. The key is that the company's annual shooting plan has been formulated in advance, and the financial department will definitely not agree to allocate funds for this kind of gambling investment with uncertain wins or losses.
It's a pity to give up.
But don't give up, and can't think of any other way.
It's obviously just a short animation of less than ten minutes, but it makes the company's big bosses in a dilemma.
At this moment, the same question may have emerged in their minds: "What should I do with it?"
Until after get off work, Sammy did not wait for a good news.
Instead, Rossi received a complaint call.
His girlfriend Ellie yelled angrily at him on the phone: "Rosie, can you let Sammy take care of that shameless Mickey in his house, that bastard ate all the stuff I had in the fridge today. All masks!"
"What! Is he still alive?"
"Uh, no, it's a homemade mask, milk cucumber apple tomato lemon honey plus protein or something."
Sammy, who overheard the entire conversation: … sounds delicious.
