Since a long time ago, European and American animated films have always adhered to the iron law of "cuteness is justice".
Animated movies such as "Rio", "Zootopia", and "Wreck-It Ralph" are all in the same light and cheerful style. As a leader in the cute pet animation industry: "Madagascar" "Penguins" and "The Secret Life of Pets" have taken cuteness to the extreme, giving people a feeling of relaxation, unburdened happiness, and goosebumps all over the place.
Judging from the melody style of the movie, "The Secret Life of Pets 2" continues the cute theme of "1".
The film is still set as a casual style of "comedy" + "adventure". The "little white rabbit" who sprouted up in the first part is still narcissistic and stinky in the second part. He also puts on a brightly colored superhero uniform and inspires to hoe the strong and help the weak. The righteous Superman, but in the actual direction of the movie, he still causes troubles with several of his cute pet friends.
Judging from the audience setting of the movie, the overall style of the movie is younger-oriented, and adults watch mostly for fun.
The details of "The Secret Life of Pets 2" are still very good. The personalities of the main characters also continue the characteristics of the previous film, and several new characters are added at the same time, which are eye-catching.
For example, "Uncle Lu", voiced by Hudson Ford, has a sexy uncle voice and is extremely popular.
From the perspective of the movie's storyline, one movie has three lines, and the pattern is relatively large.
Different from the first film, "The Secret Life of Pets 2" unfolds three lines in one go and narrates them in parallel. This makes the movie look much larger, but if this form is not used well, it will make people feel confused.
The three lines in the film seem to have no connection, but when you insist on watching until the end, you will find that they really have no connection.
The price for the relaxed pace is that the plot is too watery and there is nothing worthy of careful attention. This is probably a common problem in many cartoons.
However, if you carefully taste the stories in each line individually, you will find that each of the three lines has a different taste.
(1) Jack Russell terrier, Max and Newfoundland dog Dubo followed their owner to the countryside. The contrast between the originally "pampered" Max and the wild and fierce shepherd dog "Uncle Lu" was striking. , full of cuteness, and finally a story of love and growth, with a slightly sublimated theme.
(2) Pomeranian Jiujiu, in order to get his beloved toy ball, he tried his best to pretend that he was a cat, so that he could flow smoothly among the cats. The film really grasps the essence of the characteristics of cats and dogs, such as "cats will push everything to the ground", "cats must be elegant and noble when they land", "cats will persist in catching ethereal spots of light", "dogs will see... "You will be extremely excited when you hit the ball", "The dog falls to the ground and spreads out"... These small shots are extremely detailed and realistic.
(3) The main protagonist is the little white rabbit, who together with the new Daisy rescued a white tiger that was abused by the circus. Although this section can't be said to be thrilling, the little white rabbit who looks cute and has a heart-pounding heart is still very charming in contrast, and laughs frequently from time to time. The finale is a perfect family-friendly ending, as happy as ever. After watching it for an hour and a half, I felt satisfied and relaxed.
Although on the whole "The Secret Life of Pets 2" is not as rich and touching as the plot of movies such as "Coco", nor is it as rich and touching as the form of movies such as "Mary and Max" It is novel and the theme is so heart-warming, but if it is to be used as a summer movie to soothe the mood and relieve stress, it can definitely complete the task successfully and live up to expectations.
