The animated classic "Black Cat Sheriff" in the memory of several generations also stays in the fifth episode forever. Many netizens at paid tribute to the master after hearing the bad news, and regretted that ", please see the next episode of " really never saw it again.
Remember the classics, our childhood memories
For domestic cartoon animation, Dai Tielang is an unforgettable name. The cartoon "Black Cat Sheriff", directed and written by him, is one of the most intimate childhood memories of those born in the 70s, 80s and even 90s.
wears a big snow-white cap and a black body armor. His two big eyes are gleaming, and his straight beard adds a bit of majesty—this is quite an impressive image of a sheriff , Stay in the mind of every audience.
This cartoon has quickly become popular across the country since it first aired in 1984. Although there are only five episodes, it has far-reaching influence in the history of Chinese animation: it has shaped the righteous and brave black cat sheriff, cowardly and cunning ear Such cartoon characters with distinctive personality are hailed as "animal stars" by children, and they are still talked about today.
In 2010, the movie version of "Black Cat Sheriff" was put on the screen, and it generated 15 million yuan in box office revenue.
"Black Cat Sheriff" has not had a sixth episode, what's the secret behind it?
When Dai Tielang started to create the cartoon "Black Cat Sheriff", it was adapted from Zhu Zhixiang's scientific fairy tale novel of the same name.
At that time, Dai Tielang and many young people who had just entered the US Film Studio spent 10 months to make two cartoons, but they were stopped after the internal screenings. The reason was: fighting, killing and killing, does not conform to traditional aesthetics. , The scientific principles inside are not artistic.
Until a year and a half later, a film bureau leader re-watched "Black Cat Sheriff" and felt that the kitten was "worthy", and after giving it a try to some children, the response was particularly enthusiastic.
So, without any publicity, "Black Cat Sheriff" was released. 5 episodes of cartoons were broadcast, but after episode 5, Dai Tielang retired and the cartoons were also stopped.
delved into the reasons why Mr. Dai Tielang had no choice but to retire and the animation was eventually stopped. In fact, there are three points:
1. The work of "Black Cat Sheriff" surpassed that era.
2. It is part of the original educational scenes, but because they are too vivid, they are called "bloody violence" by those who are interested.
Three, at that time, there was no room for this "blood and violence" animation for children.
The so-called "bloody violence" plot in "Black Cat Sheriff" is mainly questioned. In these six plots, review it with McGonagall:
1. The villain shot in one ear: directly exploded body organs, flesh and blood Hengfei
At the end of the first episode of "Moving the Hamster in Pain", the Black Cat Sheriff’s iconic gun is aimed...
A hot bullet rushes out...
Evil Mouse "Two "Zi Er" fled frantically. I didn't expect that the bullet of socialism would turn around. It was even more common than Xiao Li Feida!
After the naked bullet burst its ears, the mouse, which has become "one ear", took the knocked-out ear in his hand and looked at it...
2. Horror Night: Horror In the second episode of "Capture the Enemy in the Air" of the night monster
, the stormy night is already very scary, plus a figure taller than the house, A monster with a fist bigger than a sandbag, just ask if you are afraid?
And this monster is quicker to tear down the house than Lego, enough to make the little friends who have not experienced the baptism of "Men Ghost Street" and "Friday the 13th" have a nightmare!
3. Eat alive (animals): the protagonist failed to arrive in time to rescue
. It is also the second episode. The pigeon detective found the monster’s lair, and he saw the scene of heavy taste...
the monster caught A little monkey is going to eat it alive. According to the usual laws of film and television dramas, at this time there must be plots such as the protagonist coming to the scene to rescue...
but there is no! The monster ate the little monkey in one bite, and seemed to make a sound of chewing bones...
really can't stand it...
even the white pigeon detective took his life! This kind of dead method that is not at all muddle-headed is comparable to "Game of Thrones"...
4. Bloody fighting scenes: frequent corpses without concealment
Many people think that the first time they saw a bloody realistic war scene was "Saving Private Rain" or "Brave Heart", they may have forgotten this cartoon...
In the fourth episode of "Mantis Eating Husband", the mantis fights the invading locust army, the scene is impressive. Called a real sword and a gun, fists to the flesh. Do not believe look at a few screenshots:
knife cut into two
everywhere become two of the bodies
shot pierced a long list
arrested directly tie and cool
all is not it too Emotional killer
Fifth, the felony case: the bride swallows the groom
compared to the second half of the thriller, the previous ones are nothing...
is also the fourth episode, two praying mantis get married, male The handsome female was originally warm and romantic, but the style of painting took a sharp turn...
With the horrible music, the handsome male praying mantis turned into a pile of broken corpses, let me wipe it! For the first time in their lives, countless little friends have witnessed a crime scene with heavy taste! The square of nightmare!
There are also pictures of corpse identification...
Although the truth is revealed, it is only a "Approach to Science" story, but it was really scary...
Six, the front characters were killed. : The police were murdered by the police
In the fifth episode of "The Uncle Who Eats Cats", the White Cat Sheriff was captured by the gangsters who ate cats and mice...
Sheriff was not only sucked blood, but also exposed to the body. Leave a note! In the past, this kind of death was extremely tragic, and the brain was opened...
Presumably in the young minds of the little friends, the big mice that can eat cats and suck blood are also full of fear...
In fact, looking back, these "heavy taste" scenes did not reduce the artistic value of "Black Cat Sheriff", but instead strengthened the drama conflict and made the story more exciting. z2Unfortunately, the reviewing leaders at the time did not think so.
After stopping the update of "Black Cat Sheriff", Grandpa Dai Tielang still created excellent domestic cartoons for us: "My Friend Little Dolphin", "Little Red Face and Little Blue Face", "Shepherd Flute", "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" ", "Little Sisters of the Prairie Hero", "Nine Colored Deer", etc., each of which has been well received and won numerous awards at home and abroad. Our childhood is hidden in these animations.
"Black Cat Sheriff" has accompanied the growth of generations. Although there are only five short episodes, in many people's memories, it seems to run through a whole childhood. Grandpa Dai Tielang likes children very much and is always thinking about what children need.
He often plays with children and finds that what they pursue is truth, goodness and beauty. He has devoted his life to creating for children, "I want to keep up with this era and continue to serve children. If it is not over, I will do more."
Dai Tielang said: "Man cannot be forever. It's going well, you can’t know what tomorrow will be like. Just like the stray dog I raised, it was lame when I picked it up, and now it’s walking vigorously.”
Grandpa Dai Tielang’s life is also full of twists and turns and legends. He has been questioned before, but he persisted in his ideals and made the classics of Chinese comics.
We miss this old man who has never been defeated by setbacks, and we grieve his departure. He once left a sentence like this: " If you have a world in your heart, take up a pen, the world is Infinity! "
