Xu Tian is not the kind of person who likes to take risks, so although Guoman has been beaten by Leman and Sanle during this time, it can be regarded as a good development.

"The Adventures of the Giant Country", the first 3D masterpiece of Chinese animation, Xu Tian naturally put a lot of effort into it.

He didn't allow the film to fail in any way, but all the same, Ali?? He doesn't care about Stephen's words, but although Chang Xiaotian is only an executive director, in fact, it can be said that Chang Xiaotian's power in Guoman Animation is not lower than that of Xu Tian at all.

Therefore, although he still feels that it is very risky to directly face Sanle Animation and Lin Xiao in this way.

But he had to admit that what they said also made sense, and he had no more reason to convince them.

In the end, Chang Xiaotian thought of such a solution.

"The Adventures of the Giant Country" will be released, it will be scheduled for December 23rd!" Xu Tian finally said.

Chang Xiaotian and Ali?? Stephen was still a little unwilling, but they also knew that this was Xu Tian's biggest concession.

"Adventures in the Land of Giants" and "Starry Night" announced their release dates one after the other, although they are not on the same day as "Spirited Away", but one after the other, "The Adventures of the Land of Giants" will be released on December 23, "Spirited Away" will be released on Christmas Eve on December 24, and "Starry Night" will be released on December 25.

It can be said that it is an animated feast.

What's interesting is not only that, but before the media reacted, another animated film was announced to be released on December 28.

And this film is from Hollywood, which is known for being good at animated films, DSN's work, "Magma Age".

For a while, everyone was surprised to find that this year's Christmas schedule was all about the market for animated films.

Of course, it's not that there were no live-action movies released during the period, but there were no live-action movies premiered during this time, and some were about a week or so.

4 animated films compete for Christmas, who is the real king of animated films?

The battle for the name of the animated film!

Sanle Animation is the first to launch a 2D pure hand-drawn animated film, can it reproduce the glory of hand-drawn animation?

Hand Drawn Animation VS 3D Animation, Who Killed the Deer?

For a while, the media was also like a shark smelling blood, reporting that four animated films were about to start a Christmas war!

And the media, which is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, is directly marked with the label of who is the real king of animated films, as if a movie can determine the leading position of domestic animation.

On the other hand, some media have begun to discuss, is 2D hand-drawn animated movies outdated?

Even if it's Lin Xiao, even if it's Sanle Animation, in this era when 3D movies are popular and 2D hand-drawn animation is gradually dying out, suddenly among many 3D animated movies, a 2D animation is thrown, and it is a pure hand-drawn animated movie, which makes many people very incomprehensible.

Phoenix.com also launched a special program, inviting some 'experts' and "celebrities" to discuss the current situation of animated films.

The world is so big that there are no surprises, although 3D movies have indeed replaced 2D animation in recent years, replacing hand-drawn animation has become the mainstream nowadays, and DSN's dissolution of its own hand-drawn animation department is the biggest bellwether.

But in the same way, some people love 3D animation, and some people are obsessed with hand-drawn animation.

Phoenix.com found celebrities from both camps.

One of them is the editor-in-chief of the famous "Animation World" magazine and a die-hard supporter of 3D animated films, Guo Min.

The other is a famous domestic writer, cartoonist, and a fan of hand-drawn animation.

There is also a professor from the School of Animation of Huaguo Jingcheng Academy of Arts, Feng Xinbei.

"3D animation is the mainstream, it's not just a fact, it's actually the market, and it's the market for it, and it's the same way that hand-drawn animation and computer animation have changed, just like the film camera and digital camera did back then. Guo Min said lightly.

"Nowadays, science and technology are prosperous, just like special effects movies, special effects production technology is also constantly developing, those artificial special effects and current computer special effects are not comparable at all, the same is the same in animated films, many hand-drawn animations can not do, but computers can do it. ”

"The second is the cost problem, why is it said that the market determines that computer animation is the mainstream? Because of the cost, hand-drawn animation, whether it is a series or a movie, produces the same effect of the same length of animation, hand-drawn animation may require countless labor, but computer animation may be a computer, a few people are enough. ”

As for the animated film, it is said that "Spirited Away" used hundreds of thousands of original drawings for the whole film, and hundreds or even thousands of original artists were used to provide them with original paintings. ”

"What I don't understand is that if you want to make the animation effect of "Spirited Away", the same 2D animation, if it is done with computer CG, the cost may be reduced to one-tenth or even one-twentieth! I don't know why Lin Xiao and Sanle would use such a thankless way to make this movie. Guo Min looked puzzled.

Yan Shuang didn't agree with Guo Min's words, she sneered and said: "It's the same animated movie, but hand-drawn animation and computer animation are completely different things, yes, maybe in terms of convenience and cost, computer animation is indeed better, but the artistic expression and temperament of hand-drawn animation are definitely not what computer animation can do." ”

"I have always believed that hand-drawn animation has a soul, because every frame in it contains the spirit and concept of every original artist, while computer animation, the same industrial assembly line products, is a soulless work at all. ”

Guo Min immediately retorted: "Ms. Yan's words are biased, hand-drawn animation, but the painter uses pen and paper as tools to create, and computer animation, the same is also the painter through the computer as a tool to create, the same is the use of tools to create, but between the two, the tools used are different, how can hand-drawn animation have a soul, and computer animation has no soul?"

"I'm sure Ms. Yan is no stranger to "Robot Wall-E", right? So do you also think that "Robot Wall-E", a masterpiece of 3D animated films, is soulless?"

"Professor Feng, what do you think?" The host on the side saw that Guo Min and Yan Shuang were arguing, and asked Professor Feng Xinbei, who was silent, with a smile.

"I think things have to be looked at from two sides, let's take live-action movies as an example, the general trend of movies is special effects blockbusters, 3D visual effects, but actually, what is the current situation? Is it all 3D? Is it all special effects blockbusters? Not really. ”

"I don't think it's right to think that 3D animated movies are better or that hand-drawn animated movies are outdated. ”
