               Genre: Animation, Adventure Movie, Family Movie
               Princess, fairy tales, sorcerers, sea, fish
  It does not have his computer: With technology, the Japanese cartoon classic Hayao Miyazaki created a fairytale world that is in front of big productions like Avatar or Alice in Wonderland does not need to hide. On the contrary, the color and shapes, who have crafted the animators of Studio Ghibli here to the canvas, has a “real” than some creature owes her life to a computing machine. Ponyo – The great adventure on the sea / Gake no ue no Ponyo is a film for children and adults. And not only in the sense that adults have in the adventures of two five-year old fun. Director Miyazaki has woven actually two movies in one. One of them tells a story suitable for children in remote based on Hans Christian Andersen The little mermaid. The other way of association to reflect on what goes wrong in the human world. And this is more questions than answers. Philosophical, ecological, and psychodynamic issues. The small Ponyo is a goldfish girl who lives with his father and many siblings in the sea. Ponyo Actually, it lacks nothing, after all, her father, the stern magician Fujimoto, a powerful man but he frighten off Ponyos mother, the goddess of compassion. She no longer lives with the family. Whether out of a sense of lack or out of pure curiosity – one day books from Ponyo. This is a dangerous adventure. Ponyo ends up half dead on a beach, where they found the five year old Sosuke. From one second to the other Ponyo wants only one thing: Stay At Sosuke and a real human being with arms and legs and all that entails. The problem is: During the transition from fish to humans has released Ponyo magical powers of enormous destructive power. The sea is raging, threatening huge tsunami waves to drown like all of humanity. And no one knows how the whole thing is connected. While the children are offered in the auditorium chair an adventure may be the older viewers are looking forward to a representation of the sea, as it is sensuous hardly conceivable. Hayao Miyazaki has great opera and ballet at the same time. As choreographed as the jellyfish float across the screen, dancing swarms of fish develop their splendor. The sea is becoming the actors and provides links to streams of thought that do not need firm ground under their feet, but may be carried away easily. That nature strikes back, when a man robbed her something like, one come to mind. Or the thought of the psychological dimension of what grows under the surface. But the brooding about the fateful separation of magic from the rational, of instinct and intellect. The film is open to many interpretations – Friends of the Opera will certainly discover further allusions. In any case, the metaphor of the sea invites one to plunge into the depths. This must be one not. On the surface this film is life as varied and diverse. This is perhaps the greatest achievement of the director: the shallow currents of the deeper waters to flow into each other can be so elegant that the whole is a lively bubbling stream remains.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

           The Fantastic Mr. Fox
               Genre: literature, comedy, animation
               Forest, farm, fox, badger, instinct
  The hallmark of Mr. Fox is a whistling and snapping, which underlines his impetuous and loving character. The original American version does as a speaker at the Who’s Who of Hollywood, from George Clooney as Mr. Fox, Meryl Streep as Mrs. Fox and Willem Dafoe, who lends his voice in the rat. The German sync this animated film comes up with similar star cast, for Andrea Sawatzki and Christian Berkel says Mrs. Fox gives the smart four-legged friend the erotic clever touch. Mr. Fox is a philanderer and chicken hunter who is dedicated to only by his marriage to Mrs. Fox the idyllic family life including young and lets the chickens his finger. This will, after a few years, but boring, and he takes his old trade again. Only a few times yet he wants to revive the adrenaline-filled moments and seek active support from the mole, the rat and the roof. His actions should be primarily directed against the nasty farmers Grob, Grimm and greyish directed to make themselves at the expense of the animals a good life. Mrs. Fox, and his son and nephew may of course know nothing of these thefts, but of course the three come to him on the ropes, because Mr. Fox is indeed clever but somewhat scatterbrained. Ado, the teen foxes are clamped, as the nephew is very skillful and clever, and the son is characterized by dreams and reckless daring. Now begins the struggle of man against beast, and while some resort to excavators, dozers and other equipment, they outwit the other with animal cooperation and cleverness. It is not hard to guess who the bad guys here and who are the good guys. This is the animated characters ultimately written on their faces, for Mr. Fox and Co all look sweet, cute and cunning, while the men are marked by nasty facial expressions and gestures. But the animals are given human traits by stilts on their hind legs in the upright walking through the scenes and wear fancy clothes. From sneakers to high heels, from the suits to costumes, everything is possible. The Fantastic Mr. Fox is in a slightly altered form, the cinematic animation of the classic children’s Roald Dahl’s 1970 and sometimes recalls the Animal Farm by George Orwell, because with all the funny ideas that are implemented in the film ironically, It is ultimately a profound parable of good and evil, of morality and immorality. , Wes Anderson, who was recently talking with the comedy of Darjeeling Limited has, with The Fantastic Mr. Fox made his first animated film, for which he received two Oscar nominations. In intricate stop-motion technique, it gives the children’s book by Roald Dahl heroes on the one hand a modern face, the other an air of past days shimmers in it. You have Mr. Fox and his animal companions and human Gegenstreiter just love. Be it the slender hips of Mr. Fox, the deep blue eyes of his wife and the funny costumes of his son (especially the stocking mask!) Or the human-distorted features of the hideous farmer Grob, Grimm, and horrible, so is each character a wonderful life of its own breathed that it would attract even the adults enthusiastically to the movies.
