＂Digital Baby＂ has a box office of over 100 million. Welcome to Japanese animation season.

Special feature of 1905 film network Just after the Double Eleven, after shopping around in a blur and paying with distressed hands, did the last payer find that it is really the most cost-effective "buy buy Buy" to spend a little money on a movie ticket to watch a favorite movie?

It’s early winter, and before the Lunar New Year’s Eve, with a group of Japanese animation films that missed the Children’s Day due to the epidemic (Infinite, the second feature-length animated film produced by Studio Colorido (also known as "I want to cry, I put on a cat mask"), they gave up the cinema and went online on watermelon video on June 18, and today’s headlines). Since November, they have appeared on the big screen almost once a week, and the box office just broke at the beginning of this month.

Digital Baby: The Last Evolution

When Yagu beast, which is about to disappear forever, looks at the back of the grown-up Taiyi and says "Taiyi, you have grown up", I believe all the friends in the cinema can’t stop their tears, because at this moment, every audience has entered the perspective and psychology of Taiyi, saying goodbye to childhood, lush years and past self.

As a work commemorating the 20th anniversary of Digital Baby, this theatrical animation which landed on the mainland on October 30th can be described as bearing the memories of a generation of youth. This emotion has far exceeded the bloody elements such as friendship, faith and courage in the story, and also far exceeded the suspenseful flip plot and gorgeous and colorful modeling special effects. As pointed out at the end of the film: Dedicated to all the "children" who grew up with the digital baby, this is "the last story of Taiyi". This kind of emotional card and Riman’s consistently excellent production also made the film get a high score of 7.5 in Douban.

The future, the future

Judging from the posters with the same style, we can guess that this film continues the fantasy idea of director Mamoru Hosoda’s "traveling through time and space". This cartoon, which was released in the mainland last Friday (November 6th), continues the style of Mamoru Hosoda’s fantastic works, tracing back to the wonderful emotional fate of the family from the vertical and historical perspectives of time.

The film got a good score of 6.6 in Douban, and the Annie Award for Best Independent Animation Feature Film was also the best affirmation. Interestingly, Mamoru Hosoda’s second daughter is also called the future, and his eldest son was just four years old when he conceived this film, which happened to be the age of the male host Xiaojun in the film. In his view, four years old is the age when seriousness and hedonism overlap — — It can be said that the film fully reflects Mamoru Hosoda’s family view and parenting view.

Mamoru Hosoda once mentioned that this film was inspired by Yang Dechang. "11" selects children as the perspective to observe the family and the world around them. Young and innocent, he always pays more attention to those neglected aspects than anyone else. Our little gentleman saw the past and future of family members through his childish observation and imagination in time and space, and let this endless stream of family history come to young and ignorant boys and every audience.

Son of the sea beast

The comic book of the same name, adapted from Daisuke Igarashi, will be released in the Mainland next Friday (November 20th). Directed by Ayumu Watanabe, the original painting and painting director of the TV series Doraemon since 1979, the film tells the story that a young girl named Liu Hua meets two mysterious teenagers "Hai" and "Kong" by chance, and follows in the footsteps of the two teenagers, swimming among the stars and seas and getting a glimpse of the world and life. This film and Penguin Road, which was released in the mainland last year, formed a four-part series of the Riman River System.

This cartoon, which reproduces the 50-year-old pen, shows the possibility of its own cartoons and animations. By focusing on the relationship between nature and human beings, it tries to tell the story in a dynamic and delicate way, and the beautiful and gorgeous picture itself forms a story, especially the energy in the picture of the film at the climax will impress many people. The soundtrack of Joe Hisaishi’s operation and the theme song written and sung by Mijin Xuanshi are even more exciting.

Doraemon: Nobita’s New Dinosaur

When digital babies have been with us for 20 years, the Doraemon, whose predecessors have influenced generations, has been serialized for 50 years. The upcoming release on December 11th is the 50th anniversary of Doraemon comic series, and it is also the 40th work of Doraemon series.

The film tells the story of the adventures of Nobita and his party in the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago in order to find the companions of twin dinosaurs Xiaoxiu and Xiaomi. Doraemon is a Japanese national IP. This movie is the fourth time that the theatrical version of Doraemon series uses dinosaurs as the theme, while the first three times are Doraemon: Nobita Dinosaur, Doraemon: Nobita and Dragon Knight, Doraemon: Nobita Dinosaur 2006.

The director and screenwriter of this film are also Imai Ichigo, who was the director in the previous film, and Genki Kawamura, the screenwriter. This is their second time to participate in the production of Doraemon. In the 40 years since the first theatrical version of Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur was released in 1980, there have been many breakthroughs in the study of dinosaurs in archaeological circles, among which the theory that "birds are a species that has survived the evolution of dinosaurs" is the creative origin of new dinosaurs.

Baokemeng: the counter-attack evolution of super dreams

Two days ago (November 10, 2020), it was announced to confirm the introduction to the mainland, and posters were released. As the 22nd animated film in Poké mon series, this film is the only theatrical animation based on the plot remake of the past theatrical version in a real sense, and it is the full-film 3DCG remake of the first theatrical version of Pokémon: The Counter-attack of Super Dream in 1998.

Pokémon, the most widely known IP, is the cute pet Pikachu and the most popular character. The first live-action movie released last year was aimed at evoking the feelings of people who grew up in the 1990s. However, in the movie, the actor changed Xiao Zhi into a black youth, telling the story about the affection between father and son that is easier for non-fans to empathize with the audience. Of course, for fans, it is still a clever and successful adaptation.

In addition, there are also "Destiny’s Night — — Cup of Heaven 3: Song of Spring. In recent years, Conan series has basically landed in the mainland market every year, and Destiny’s Night — — The first two parts of the "Cup of Heaven" series have also met with domestic audiences for two consecutive years, and this year’s failure to "renew the contract" has undoubtedly been affected by the epidemic.

With the box office surprise of Digital Baby: The Last Evolution exceeding 100 million, we can still see the box office strength and emotional charm of Doraemon, Treasure Dream, Detective Conan and so on. Behind this, it belongs to the appeal of animation itself. With the strong rise of other countries, I believe that China’s animation power will form a series of explosive IP like Riman, and gradually increase its own influence in the film market from home to overseas.
