I have watched a lot of cartoons for young people, but the one that really touched people's hearts was "Snow Fight". The director is obviously a typical pacifist, telling us that peace must start from childhood.
In a snowy place, the children racked their brains to have a pleasant winter vacation, and finally planned a snow fight. The storyline of the film is not tortuous, but the performance of various cute pets by a group of little kids has become the most eye-catching highlight.
It is not easy to make cartoons for young children. Although "Snow Fight" does not have more special effects to show off, its profound connotation can be compared with "Legend of the Magic Strings" and "Spirited Away". There is no moralizing motive, but the children's snow fight triggers a series of reflections on how to avoid destroying the harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
Snow fighting may be a dream game for children in the south, but for children in the north, snow fighting may be tired of it, but it is not easy to play it wonderfully. The unique snow battle in "Snow and Ice War" is a gift package for children in the south who cannot see snowflakes, and it is also a heavy gift for children in the north.
The children, led by Luke and Sophie, are relatively smart. The castle they worked hard to build is not an ordinary castle. Although this castle is made of ice and snow, there are many mechanisms inside, and the convenient settings are quite "modern". From these aspects, it seems that this group of children may be the pillars of the country in the future.
This cartoon has a very Hollywood style, because it has many attractions of genre cartoons. There are many action scenes, as well as many cute and funny scenes, and of course there is also a pure and beautiful first love story. The director worked so hard to create it in the hope that more children who cherish peace, friendship and family will like the film.
In fact, this is also a story about the inheritance of traditional culture. His father's military trumpet was passed on to Luke, who longed to become a brave and resourceful soldier like his father. Because the cruel war took away his relatives, he was quiet and sensitive. He led the children to play snowball fights with the Sophies tenaciously, winning and losing, but in the end they lost their lovely dog Cleo, and they truly realized that the war had taken away their most precious things, including family, friendship and love. It can also be said that this is a unique anti-war cartoon.
Many details of the film are designed with great care, especially to express the irresistible stupidity and cuteness of many little kids, which is simply ridiculous. The pure and kind nature of the children is fully revealed. It seems that there is no more difference from the behavior of other children, but if you take a closer look, you can find many interesting bits and pieces.
In addition to the interesting plot, a wonderful cartoon also has the character creation. The film involves more than a dozen children, all of whom have different personalities. Luke is the king of children, and Sophie can also be regarded as the masculine among the children. Her four-eyed intelligence, Lu Lu's bad temper, Jack's cheerfulness, stupid kindness, strong stupidity, and the funny and cute twin brothers Henry and George all leave a deep impression on people.
In addition to portraying these little brats in a colorful way, the film also created a messenger of friendship and peace, the dog Cleo. This is a St. Bernard dog with thick hair and two big drooping ears that are very cute. It is of great significance in the film. It is not only a pet that amuses the children, but also a messenger of peace. Because of it, the children turn conflicts into friendship and finally regain the lost beauty.
This is a family-friendly cartoon that is both educational and entertaining, suitable for different viewing groups. Even adults will be amused by the humorous and funny scenes in the film, and of course, they can also relive the various games of their childhood that are hidden deep in their memories.
The film is well-made, and every snowflake is very realistic, especially the thick hair on Cleo's body. The photography, art and soundtrack are the icing on the cake, making you ready to watch it again at any time.
Of course, in addition to showing the innocent friendship between little kids, the film also shows Luke and Sophie's budding first love, which is almost too pure. They admire each other and are full of childishness. Their false opposition prevents the further development of their relationship, but they eventually destroy the barriers and their intimate relationship with each other continues to deepen.
"Snow War" is well-intentioned and worth watching and savoring. If you miss it, you will regret it.
