You have brought us peace of life
This familiar song will bring us back to the childhood of watching animation in front of the TV.
"Black Cat Sheriff" is one of the earliest animated series in China, and it is also a childhood memory of several generations.
The righteous and clever black cat sheriff, with a cowardly and cunning ear, is a classic image in domestic animation.
However, the birth of "Black Cat Sheriff" was full of ups and downs and sadness.
△Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio has produced a series of excellent animation works "Shepherd Boy", "Nine-Colored Deer", "Nezha Naps the Sea"...
Speaking of domestic animation, I have to mention that it has supported animation in the last century. The Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio where the movie goes.
In the 1950s and 1980s, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio produced a series of fine animations with ethnic characteristics.
"Shepherd Boy", "Nezha Raising the Sea", "Nine-Colored Deer", "Breaking Out in Heaven", "Little Sisters of Prairie Heroes", "Three Monks", "Gourd Brothers", etc., are very popular and artistic The level is extremely high and it is highly respected internationally.
△Animated film "Shepherd Boy"
Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio has produced the first ink-and-wash animation film "Little Tadpoles Finding Mother". Every scene can show the essence and charm of Chinese ink paintings.
△Mr. Dai Tielang once participated in the art design of "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mother". This red goldfish is his work.
This domestic animation once let Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, the two later co-founded Ghibli The Japanese animation master of the animation studio was amazed.
"Shanghai Film Studio has created many excellent works, which made us amazed... The early "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mother" simply made us look stupid. I didn't expect animation to do this."
The familiar godfather of Japanese animation, Osamu Tezuka, also decided to devote himself to the animation industry after seeing the "Princess Iron Fan" created by the important representative of Shanghai Art Film Studio.

At the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, which promotes nationalization, Dai Tielang can be regarded as an outlier.
Dai Tielang, born in 1930, was born in Huiyang, Guangdong, and was born in Singapore. He returned to China in 1940. In 1953, Dai Tielang graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. After graduation, he joined the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio at the invitation of his friends and held positions in animation design and art design.
Dai Tielang once said that the beauty studio is a to him, "I have bad memories, but I grew upThe place. Without them, I would not have grown to be like this. I no longer lack courage when encountering difficulties. "
is different from the direction of "going national characteristics" in the Shanghai Beauty Film Studio at that time. Dai Tielang loves science, likes modernity, likes drinking Coke, and eating cakes. He wants to make works that reflect the characteristics of the times, and even go ahead of the times. In the first 20 years, Dai Tielang had not been a director.
continued until the 1980s when the US Film Studio was undergoing transformation. In 1984, Yan Dingxian, one of the directors of "Nezha Nao the Sea", and the animation design of "Havoc in Heaven" succeeded the first factory. Chang Sheng Tewei served as the factory director, and Dai Tielang finally had the opportunity to try the animation he wanted to make. After seeing the comic strip "Black Cat Sheriff", Dai Tielang began planning to produce "Black Cat Sheriff".
After Dai Tielang's creativity was reported Without the support of the factory, he adapted the script and designed the scene.
Dai Tielang used many young people who had just entered the factory. It took 10 months to make two cartoons, but they were stopped after the internal screenings. The reason is: "The fighting inside is not in line with traditional aesthetics, and the scientific principles inside are not artistic. "
But Dai Tielang insisted on . The national form develops at every stage according to the evolution process. Sometimes children need some super-conscious images.
Until a year and a half later, a film bureau leader saw the film and thought it was good, some children After the trial, the response was very enthusiastic, and it was broadcast on theaters without any publicity.
"Black Cat Sheriff" became popular after it was broadcast, and the image of "Black Cat Sheriff" became a child at the time. The hottest star in my heart.
At the end of each episode, the Black Cat Sheriff will raise his pistol and "boomboomboom" and type "please look at the next episode", but after the fifth episode, the kids never expected it. The sixth episode.
has about why there are only five episodes of "Black Cat Sheriff", which has become a childhood question and regret for many people. It is reported that in 1988, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio suffered a market transformation failure and a large number of animation talents The loss and various realistic conditions have made the fifth episode of "Black Cat Sheriff" have been frozen since then, and there will be no next episode.

Dai Tielang’s animation philosophy
is being interviewed and asked why "Black Cat Sheriff" can be popular with children. Welcome, the answer given by Director Dai Tielang is intriguing.
"I like children and often go to the Children's Palace to participate in their activities. What they are interested in, I am also interested. I also design toys with the children and make military games together! "
△ In his old age, Dai Tielang's home in Hangzhou
Although Dai Tielang was nearly sixty years old, he always maintained a childlike innocence. When making animated films, he never gave up because the audience is a child.
His animation is true Respect children, while satisfying their preferences, also strive to satisfy their children's curiosity.
Dai Tielang said: "I know children, I am familiar with children, especially children now. Children nowadays are very curious, have a wide range of knowledge, respond quickly, and are good at making associations. They draw knowledge from a large number of children's books and newspapers, especially the popularization of radio and television, which has expanded their horizons and is much better than when we were children. Don't think that what we don't understand, they certainly don't understand. "
" Now that children understand science, some of us adults may not all know it. Therefore, some videos children understand, but adults don't. For example, the cartoon "Little Dolphin" I made involves some scientific knowledge. Some adults have questions: ‘Is it possible?’ But many children understand it at first glance. "
In the fairy tale world of "Black Cat Sheriff", he specially arranged some uncommon animals:
is like the moving hamster and shrew in the first episode. Moving hamsters are used to classifying all kinds of stolen items. Collection, and shrew is a kind of mouse that preys on pests and does not eat crops;
△Many people’s childhood nightmare monkey eagle
The strange eagle in the second episode is called Binying. This animal is cruel and specializes in eating monkeys. ;
There will also be a cat-eating mouse in the fifth episode. This mouse is born in Africa and can release aThe gas stuns the cat and then sucks blood from the cat’s throat.
For some common animals, he tries his best to look for features that are not usually noticed, such as elephants, hippos and wild boars in the third episode, because they need certain minerals physiologically, they often eat red clay;
△ The female praying mantis and the male praying mantis in the fourth episode
The female praying mantis in the fourth episode eats the male praying mantis in order to reproduce the offspring and need sufficient nutrition.
Mr. Dai wants to use these scientific anecdotes to satisfy children's curiosity.
"In addition, children are particularly interested in modern vehicles and weapons. Therefore, air-cushion motorcycles, laser guns, flame jet guns, helicopters, miniature explosive bombs, walkie-talkies, automatic doors, etc. appear in the film. These. It can not only attract small audiences, but also enhance the breath of the times."
"The children react very fast now, and I consciously speed up the pace of the film. Otherwise, they will be impatient and impatient."
"In short, I know the children Whatever they like, try to let them see what they are interested in in the film."
Dai Lao’s love and respect for children is from the heart, which is why, decades have passed, "Black Cat Police "Long" is still our favorite classic in our memory.

retired, he has continued to create and never stops. Recently, a large number of high-quality domestic animated films have risen. In interviews, Mr. Dai Tielang often sighed, "This is a good time, so good that I often regret it. It would be nice if I was younger."

Mr. Dai Tielang once said in an interview, "If you have a world in your heart, take up a pen, the world is infinite!"
We will always miss this animation director who always has a childlike heart, who has never been defeated by the world and fate. The old man, the forest citizen salutes you forever, salute you!
