A Simple Summary

In the past nine weeks, I have introduced ten Disney animations.

Not only readers, I myself also recalled wonderful childhood memories.

So I try to find out what make them so popular.

I think... it's creativity!

It occurred to me that

when I introduced the plot in previous posts, I always used "HOWEVER" and then "FINALLY".

It means that the stories are always "cheesy". (In Taiwanese term, we call "芭樂" XD)

But!!!

Even though we know the plot is cheesy, we are still attracted to it.

Even though we know the main character would met some obstacles, he/she might become miserable, then eventually succeed, and everything comes to a happy ending, we still love it!

We don't get bored. We feel excited and satisfied during seeing every Disney animation.

I think "creativity" give them such incredible power. The figures are elaborately designed. They can make up various princesses for different animations. The stories are a little bit complex just at a perfect level. We can easily understand, but don't feel bored. The frame is simple, but there are always distinctive content that amaze us.

Let's await the next Disney animation and enjoy it!!!

Since Disney animations are so popular, there are many people "researching" about them.
You can find many fun facts on the Internet. Let me give some examples.

1. This storm scene looks marvelous, right?
"It took a team of 10 animators an entire year to finish the 10-minute sequence." 

2. Nemo appears as a toy in Mosnters Inc. Haha!

3. Ooh~ Goofy was in the crowd in "The Little Mermaid".

Monsters University

Haha! These cute guys appear again.
As you might know, Monsters University is a prequel(前傳) to Monsters, Inc.(怪獸電力公司)
Of course, the popular lead roles like Michael "Mike" Wazowski and P. "Sulley" Sullivan show up.

1. On a school field trip, Mike once visited Monsters, Inc., the most profitable company in his town. Thus he dreamed of being a professional "scarer". And he majored in "scare" in the Monsters University. He and Sulley also became roommates at that time.

(This is perfectly matched with the plot of Monsters, Inc., right?)

2. They both joined fraternities(兄弟會,which is a very different university culture between us and USA), but different ones. During a race among all the fraternities, Mike was angry about Sulley's cheating. He accidentally ran through a door which led to human world.

3. Then Sulley also came to human world and reconciled with Mike. However, when they wanted to go back, the door was closed by their authority. They generated enormous power by make a group of people scream, and that activated the door successfully.

Now, I would like to provoke your interest in another way.Three soundtracks in this film was accompanied by the drum line of The Blue Devils.

What?! You don't know what the Blue Devils is?

Let me tell you =v=

They are a team of DCI. 

What?! You don't know DCI? Let me explain~

= v =

When you think about PROFESSIONAL basketball, there comes up NBA.

Similarly, when you think about PROFESSIONAL marching band, there should come up DCI.

↓

The Blue Devils has won 15 Championships since 1971.
So you know how magnificent their drum line(鼓隊) can be!!!

Next time when you see this animation, maybe you can pay some attention to its music, like this one... 
Enjoy the beat!

This is the official trailer...
