Week 2: Good and Bad animation according to my understanding

Good: Frozen, in my opinion, is a very good animated film. First of all, the stage performance and presentation of it are very accurate, and the theme and wanted to express the emotions and thoughts are accurately conveyed to the audience. Secondly, all its characters are very attractive. Whether the leading role or the supporting role, they all have endearing characteristics, especially the little snowman who can talk. It is impressive that the little snowman can still enjoy the hot sun in summer. The movements and expressions of elk and snowman are very exaggerated, which more vividly express the inner feelings of the characters. Through these exaggerated expressions, the audience can feel their rich vitality. The most important thing is that the animation rhythm of the whole film is very well mastered and natural. The squeeze and stretch and secondary moves in this film are textbook standards, especially when the Ice Queen is transforming. The Queen lets her hair down and pulls it to the front, which is actually a very difficult animation. When the braid goes over the shoulder, it’s easy to cross the body of the character, but Disney animators handle it very well, so that the whole set of movements of the characters are smooth and smooth, and the movements of the characters are almost always curved. This performance is like dancing and singing opera, which is the most eye-catching part of the whole play.

The Frozen

Bad: In my opinion, Dragon Trainer 1 is not so good in some places. First of all, the role of the dragon is not so attractive. Some of the dragons, even like porcupine with wings, have no profound character characteristics, which does not add to the film. Secondly, the preparation and following of the animation are not so well done. In 43 minutes of the film, two strong men pass the barrels of wine to each other. Because the preparation of the action is not enough, the weight of the barrels is not fully reflected. Also, at 45 minutes, when Night Fury and Hiccup are about to fall from the clouds, adding a shot of the main character’s point of view straight to the ground might give the audience a stronger sense of immersion: it’s an emergency, they’re about to fall to the ground! In 78 minutes of the film, his father rescues Hiccup to shore. Hiccup and his father’s hair are wet, but his father’s clothes are not. After his father came out of the water and landed, the fibers on his father’s clothes remained dry. I mean, although it appear in the shot for a small time, but if we can do wet effect for his father’s clothes, it should be better.
