Year of production: 1940

Classic reason: Disney's first three-dimensional music animated film

Fantasia produced and distributed by Disney Company is a milestone in the history of big screen animation. In this magnificent film, Disney Company focused on music instead of story content for the first time, and showed seven music clips with different styles but mixed with different forms of animation content, making it an audio-visual concert. Fantasia was not a success at the box office when it was first released, but now, this animation work has been considered as a "treasure that will never disappear with time" in the history of animation.

Bambi

Year of production: 1942

Classic reason: animated feature films that have influenced a generation.

This is a film that has influenced many animators. It is great not only because such a work with warm content and excellent pictures came from the most glorious period of the Disney dynasty, but also because even today, when we re-examine this work in the 1960s, we will still be attracted and moved by the excellent painting level and smooth storyline of the film.

This cartoon is made entirely for children, and it perfectly integrates the difficulties people will face in reality into a children's film. This film deeply describes the harmonious atmosphere of the forest and the kind nature of animals. Through warm support and getting along with lovely animals, the story shows the meaning of innocence and love everywhere.

Frightened Christmas Eve

Year of production: 1993

Classic reason: whimsical "absurd drama"

Silent Night Panic is a wise satire on traditional festivals like 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 tradition of Christmas-all kinds of weird and terrible toys, but it caused great panic ..... Although this film does not have the snow and wishing socks in the traditional Christmas theme, the panic on Christmas Eve is unique and is known as the carnival of human fantasy.

Beauty and the Beast

Production year: 199 1 year.

Classic reason: a milestone in the history of Hollywood animation

Beauty and the Beast is the only animated film nominated for the best picture Oscar. Why is this movie so popular? The answer is difficult to sum up in a few simple sentences. It is more appropriate to describe this film as "irresistible", because the structural framework and animation of the film bring even more picture tension than most non-animated feature films. This film represents the high level of creative art and film soundtrack, and sets a standard for later animated films.

The Iron Giant

Year of production: 1999

Classic reason: the concept of perceptual animation

The Iron Giant vividly describes a simple and touching story. This film has no magical animation effect, but it deserves to occupy a very important position in the history of Hollywood animation. The reason is difficult to describe in simple words, and the impression can only be described in the following words: it is a film that constantly grasps our innermost feelings and explores our purest side.

There is no singing in the movie, and there is no magical character who knows everything. The Iron Giant is a comforting adventure story, which makes people re-examine the animated film and have new expectations.

Shrek (cartoon name)

Year of production: 200 1

Classic reason: the box office myth of animated films

Shrek, which subverts the fairy tale tradition, attracts the audience with humorous language and exaggerated humor. Of course, we can't ignore the excellent animation production-the whole film is carefully handled and full of images and 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 final total box office of this film will reach 430 million dollars. Shrek series, as a favorite cartoon of adults, is creating a new box office myth.

South Park Movie Edition

Year of production: 1999

Classic reason: controversial animated feature film

If an animated film can carry profound social significance, doesn't it sound a bit divorced from reality? South Park is such an animated film full of black humor and really funny from beginning to end.

South Park revolves around the villages in South Park, and the plot contains such key words as restricted movies, the conflict between the United States and Canada, and Saddam Hussein. Of course, everything is expressed in a very "nonsense" plot. In addition to hilarious laughter, some people will think that this film is rude and unreasonable, but others will see sharp and interesting social satire behind these blasphemous jokes.

This is still a controversial work, but both the Film Critics Association and the audience have put this film in the forefront of animated films in film history. As long as you don't take it too seriously, this movie can't be missed.

The Lion King

Year of production: 1994

Classic reason: the pinnacle of hand-drawn animation

Whether it is the magnificent African scene, realistic characterization or moving background music, the production level of The Lion King is a well-deserved representative of the peak of hand-drawn animated films.

The Lion King is fresh in people's memory because it is not based on a beautiful fairy tale or a simple children's movie. The film doesn't talk about "love is everything" or teach children how to make things better. In fact, the film just gave the audience an opposite argument: "hack na matata"-friends who are familiar with this film must remember this "famous saying", which means to forget your troubles and let bygones be bygones.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Year of production: 1988

Classic reason: the pioneer of live-action animated films

Who framed Roger Rabbit is a movie that combines real people and animation. There are many classic cartoon characters in this film. Combined with the real story, the outstanding animators behind the scenes derived new animation technology through Who Framed Roger Rabbit: using new light and shadow technology to create more realistic animation and three-dimensional effects; Move a lot of lenses to reduce boring static environment images; Strive to make comics and real people combine perfectly in the real world. After that, more live-action cartoons came out one after another, including Garfield, which was just released.

Toy story

Year of production: 1995

Classic reason: an epoch-making work in which computer replaces manual animation.

You may not be interested in animation, but you must know that Toy Story is the first full-length 3D animated feature film made by computer technology in history. In 2003, the film was rated as the first best cartoon in the history of 100 films by the Network Film Critics Association. We can also imagine that when the full three-dimensional realistic image of Toy Story appeared on the big screen, the audience expressed surprise that Toy Story initiated a computer animation era.

The whole film is full of the wise inspiration of the producer, leaving aside the stunning animation effect. The whole story is humorous, warm and inspiring to life, and has won the hearts and impressions of every audience, so Toy Story has become a classic in film history.
