What did Sanjay do?

The answer is simple, he follows his own understanding to draw the classic anime duo of Tom and Jerry.

This kid has a lot of ideas.

He gave Tom a pair of thicker and larger eyebrows to show off his ferocity, and thickened the tail that often caused trouble for Tom in the anime.

Jerry was not spared.

Under Sanjay's brush, Jerry is given big eyes in the style of a neon cartoon character......

This is the character image.

Sanjay also has a unique understanding of the animation background, giving a geometric mathematical abstraction to those common buildings and backgrounds.

The style of painting suddenly becomes weird.

"Cat and Mouse", which was originally very warm and funny, suddenly became very fantastical and full of eccentricity under the troubles of Jones's son.

It was a small incident.

When Jones scolded his son and warned him not to touch his belongings and computers or he would be kicked out of the house, that should be the end of the matter.

But Jones came to the company the next day and complained about it to his colleagues, who thought Sanjay's design was cool and advised him not to jump to conclusions.

Jones's words surprised Jones, so he took advantage of his lunch break to show his son Sanjay's drawings of Tom and Jerry to more colleagues.

"Cool!"

"Oh! Little Sanjay really has an idea, I think this Tom and Jerry are great, it is very much to my taste......"

The praise from his colleagues intrigued Jones, who submitted the original drawing, which should have been discarded, to the project team leader.

After reading it, the project team leader thought it was really interesting and continued to report to Dave, the general manager of Wanbao's North American branch.

"Let's be honest......"

When Gu Miao saw the sketch that was praised by Dave, he immediately reacted.

Isn't this the 63-67 version of "Cat and Mouse"!

Good guys, I haven't paid attention for a while, and Dave's gang even made this version of "Cat and Mouse"?

What?

A child's prank?

The cause of the incident may be true, a 14-year-old boy named Sanjay maliciously made up the prototype.

But what does it mean that this plan can be solemnly submitted to Gu Miao by Dave? It shows that the production team of "Cat and Mouse" has actually discussed it internally and thinks this plan is very interesting.

Other words.

Since this thing can be sent to Gu Miao's eyes, it means that the production team has already reached a consensus, and now it is only Gu Miao who nods and approves.

"I think Tom and Jerry have lost their part of being beasts and become more like people."

Gu Miao carefully chose the words and said, "Dave, do you think it's really appropriate to shape Tom and Jerry like this?" ”

The 63-67 version of the "Cat and Mouse" animation has been commented by many people that the painting style is weird and gloomy, with strong fantasy elements, and it is uncomfortable and frightening to watch.

Especially small children.

This version of "Cat and Mouse" makes many children feel scared, especially the brain-opening plot and background in it, which is sometimes really chilling.

Here's an example.

Few people may notice that this version of Tom's nails are very sharp and sharp, and when he threatens Jerry or is about to catch Jerry, the scene is a bit frightening.

There is also Tom's eyes, which are often fierce in this version, giving people a murderous feeling.

"But it's an attempt."

Dave didn't want to give up this idea, and still tried to persuade him: ""Cat and Mouse" can't always be static, no matter how interesting the image is, children will get tired of watching it after a long time. ”

His meaning is simple.

Animation needs to be innovated, and new things need to be launched at the right time, and you can't always have the idea of "one trick eats all over the world".

It doesn't matter for a while.

Tom and Jerry are such classic anime images, and they will not sit back and eat for a few years or even more than ten years.

But twenty years, thirty years from now?

"Then you don't have to take such a big step, a small innovation is fine, but you changed so much at once, I think it's a little inappropriate."

Gu Miao didn't approve.

The 63-67 version of "Cat and Mouse", don't look at it many years later, the Internet is full of nostalgic touting, but the fact is that the image of this version of "Cat and Mouse" has never shown its face again.

If there are really people who blow it so well, then the classic is so interesting, then MGM will not give up this image and go back to the old way.

To put it mildly.

The 63-67 version of "Cat and Mouse" is a failed version, otherwise after so many years, there would be no remake or sequel with the same painting style.

MGM made the mistake once, and there is no reason why a follower of Manbo should repeat the same mistake.

Gu Miao admits that the 63-67 version of "Cat and Mouse" does have merits, not all shortcomings, and there are quite a few fans who like this version of Tom and Jerry very much.

It's a fact!

But no matter what, the audience who likes this version is never as many as the audience who likes the old version.

As an animation producer and a qualified businessman, Gu Miao's priority must be the group with the widest coverage and the largest number of people.

To satisfy the tastes of a small group of people, to make a version?

That's what fools do!

Not to mention anything else, even for the sake of the fame and coherence of the entire series of "Cat and Mouse", Gu Miao is not in favor of making a version of a new painting style.

Why?

Because the anime image of Tom and Jerry, the happy enemy, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Rashly changing and trying to correct everyone's views with a new work is no different from using a mantis arm as a car or an egg hitting a stone!

Here's an example.

The Kunkun that fans are familiar with, they all play basketball in suspenders, and you suddenly say that this muscular man with an arm span of more than two meters and a height of nearly two meters is a Kunkun, can ikun accept it?

The words are not rough.

Anyway, Gu Miao's attitude, the images of Tom and Jerry are deep enough in the hearts of the people. At this time, it is not suitable and should not launch a new image to add confusion to fans.

As for Dave's so-called aesthetic fatigue, will the audience get tired of watching it?

Come on......

You say you're tired of watching other animations, so you can explain it, but this is "Cat and Mouse"!

How can "Cat and Mouse" get tired of watching? Even if the same episode is replayed countless times in a loop, some people still watch it with relish.

This is similar to the 86 version of Journey to the West, I have watched it countless times, not only know the plot development of this episode, but even the lines can be recited silently accurately, but there is still no shortage of audiences.

Tired of watching? Joke!

Such a classic work, you won't get tired of watching it a hundred times.

Even when I see some spicy chicken idol dramas and spicy chicken animations, I still want to watch "Journey to the West" and "Cat and Mouse" again to wash my eyes!
