Explore the development history of China animation.

China's animation was once brilliant, which also proved that China's animation is powerful and has artistic laws suitable for its development. Understanding the development of Chinese cartoons is of great benefit to today's cartoon creation. We can not only learn from and absorb excellent traditions, but also find and summarize the shortcomings of Chinese cartoons and find the development path in the new social development period. [3-4]

China animation has a long history. As we all know, Mickey Mouse first met the world in 1928, which was the world's first animated film Steamboat Willie. China's first animated film, Studio Noisy, was born in 1926, only 20 years later than the world's first animated film was born in 1906, and it has been 85 years since today. [3-4]

26 to 49 years old

If we want to talk about the origin of China's animation, we have to mention 1926' s Wansi brothers (Wan Gu Chan, Wan Lai Ming, Wan, Atlas) who produced "Make a scene in the Studio". After that, they made a lot of animations, one of which is also of epoch-making significance, that is 1935, China's first audio animation "Camel Dance". However, these animations have not attracted everyone's attention. It is China's first animated feature film Princess of the Iron Fan that has a real impact in Asia and the world. 194 1 was released. Our animation was not too late in China, even in Asia at that time. In particular, the first animated feature film Princess Iron Fan caused a great sensation in Asia. Even Osamu Tezuka, a Japanese animation giant, was influenced by Princess Iron Fan before deciding to join in animation! [3-4]

In 1950s and 1960s, China's cartoons, that is, art films, reached their first climax, which can be said to be the golden age. In addition to the ten thousand brothers participating in the animation production in New China, a large number of technical and artistic talents emerged during this period. 1953, we filmed the first colorful puppet show film "Little Hero" in China. 1954, the puppet movie "Little Beauty's Dream", the real person and the puppet first appeared in the same movie. The puppet film Magic Pen (1956) won the first prize of the world children's entertainment film, which is the first time that China's art film has won the international prize. 1955, the first color cartoon "Why is the crow black" came out. 1958, the first paper-cut "Pig Eight Rings Eat Watermelon" in China appeared, adding a new variety to China art films. 1960, the "ink animation" that amazed the whole world was born. Representative works include Little Tadpole Looking for Mom and Moody. The famous animations in this period include Little Tadpole Looking for Mom, Making a scene in Heaven, Moody's, Carp Leaping over Longmen, Proud General, Fisherman, Peacock Princess, etc ... I guess everyone still remembers the foreigner with a big nose in Fisherman? However, the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution for ten years made China animation in the golden age fall into a trough. Although several works were published in the later period, their themes were limited. Moreover, the greatest influence on China animation during this period was the destruction of talents. This disaster has made the future development of China animation, and a whole generation has disappeared ... It can even be speculated that the current animation low tide is not only influenced by foreign animation, but also caused by the lack of talents at that time. [3-4]

77-85 years old

After the Cultural Revolution, China animation ushered in a renaissance period, known as the Silver Age of China animation. In this new creative climax, our animation production has not only increased rapidly in quantity, but also innovated constantly in form and theme, the most noteworthy of which is the cartoon What Is the Sea Made of. "Things change" is a large-scale wide-screen animation, the story, as we all know, is based on the classical fairy tale "Romance of the Gods". In the animation, Nezha is not afraid of power, and the spirit of fighting the Dragon King is pleasant. Finally, Nezha saw countless scenes of life, which made many people cry. In addition, there are avanti full of wisdom, three simple and humorous monks, Lu Zhongshu with ink animation, Mr. Nan Guo with quaint style, newspaper clippings as hairy as monkeys fishing for the moon, fighting between snipes and mussels with ink style, Laoshan Taoist with humor and philosophy, and fireworks of peacocks.

85-95 years old

The time machine has entered 85 years. During the decade of 85-95, it was also the time when the post-80s had the most contact with domestic animation. This decade should be said to be a turning point of our China animation, but it is a pity that it is not a good turning point. During this period, some good works have appeared in our domestic animation. Some animation series, such as Hulu Brothers, have left a deep impression on the generation after 1980s, regardless of the plot, color and obvious Chinese style. In addition, there are adventure stories of Sloppy King and Shuke and Beita, and these classics continue to this day. In the animation episodes of this period, it is worth mentioning that "Mountains and Waters" and "Shooting without Shooting" are not as popular as those series just now ... Among these little-known excellent animations, "Mountains and Waters" won many awards at home and abroad, but it is also known as the swan song of Chinese ink animation, because at this time, this finely crafted movie animation has begun to decline and slowly began to move towards the later academic school. Since 1985, many Sino-foreign joint venture animation companies have entered China, and a large number of animation talents have been poached by these companies. On the other hand, many foreign animations entered the China market at low prices at this time. Transformers, Flower Fairy, Wizard of Oz, Astro Boy, most of these animations have novel themes, strange imagination and bright colors, which have been welcomed by China audiences. [3-4]

Since 1995.

China's first martial arts animated film "Brave the World"

Speaking of post-95 animation, it's really hard to be proud. During this period, domestic animation began to appear problems such as shoddy and naive content. In contrast, imported animation can be said to be unstoppable. What saints, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Later, with the development of the Internet, foreign animation can almost enter China at the same time. In this embattled situation, our domestic animation has also begun to reflect. First of all, Lotus Lantern by 1999, and I'm crazy about singing in 2002. The reason why this movie didn't really become a big hit was because the finished animation you saw didn't reach the expected level, and many places were very imprecise. Many places that shouldn't use Q version inexplicably use Q version characters, which makes anime fans very disappointed. Don't be disappointed too early, because we haven't stopped trying. In recent years, with the enthusiasm and efforts of animation lovers and the attention and support of the state, more and more animation industrial bases and animation companies have been established in China, and these companies have also produced a large number of exquisite animation works. Moreover, many of them are still trying to do youth animation. For example, the animation of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, the movie animation of Butterfly Lovers, Rain Stone and Storm Decisive Battle, which we introduced before, are also excellent works. In 2006, The Elf Century was launched. Immediately after its launch, it was highly praised by animation experts and business people at home and abroad, which became a new milestone and benchmark for the development of animation industry in China, and was praised as "the first in China and the first in the world". It started broadcasting in May, 2006, and then it continued to broadcast on 300 TV stations in Chinese mainland, with a very high audience rating, with an average duration of 18 minutes, which created a milestone in the number of Chinese cartoon broadcast channels and was a rare international breakthrough of original animation in China. After the release of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on June 6, 2009, with the support of the central government, the box office soared, and finally far exceeded the domestic animation box office record of 33 million yuan created by Fengyun Decision in 2008. In recent years, the bright moon in Qin dynasty, the armed superpower, the cosmic star god, Bao Guo's special attack 2, the iron dragon, the dragon valley, the dawn and so on. Let people see the hope of China animation revival. [3-4]

However, the unreasonable suppression of some excellent animations by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television still shows that it will take a long time for China animation to recover. For example, in 2006, China's first martial arts animated film "Brave Fight the World" was produced by a company in Guangzhou, instead of being directly or indirectly supported by the central government like later films, so it was jealous and excluded by the central government, and CCTV channels also tried their best to block the release news of "Brave Fight the World". In the 2007 1 1 China Film Watch Award, "Going to the East" won the highest number of votes, but in the end it was only nominated by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and was not awarded the award by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television like the other three domestic cartoons with lower votes.
