My Animation Era

  Chapter 864 Tom and Jerry 63-67 Edition (for subscription)

  What the **** did Sanjay do?

  The answer is very simple. He draws Tom and Jerry, the classic animation partner, according to his own understanding.

   This kid has a lot of ideas.

  He gave Tom a pair of thicker and bigger eyebrows to show its ferocity, and thickened and enlarged the tail that often caused Tom trouble in animation.

  Jerry is also doomed.

  Under the brush of Sanjay, Jerry was endowed with big eyes like a neon cartoon character...

   This is the character image.

   As for the animation background, Sanjay also has his unique understanding. He endows those common buildings and background objects with a mathematical abstract beauty like geometric patterns.

  The painting style suddenly became weird.

   Originally very warm and funny "Tom and Jerry", under the troubles of Jones' son, it suddenly became very fantasy, full of weird meaning everywhere.

   This is a trivial matter.

   When Jones scolded his son and warned him not to touch his stuff and computer or he would be kicked out of the house, the matter should have stopped there.

   But Jones came to the company the next day and took this incident as an anecdote. After complaining to his colleagues, the colleagues thought that Sanjay’s design was cool and advised him not to draw conclusions so easily.

  Jones was a little surprised by what his colleagues said, so he took advantage of his lunch break to show Tom and Jerry painted by his son Sanjay to more colleagues.

"Awesome!"

   "Oh! Little Sanjay really has an idea, I think this Tom and Jerry is great, it fits my taste..."

   Colleagues' praises aroused Jones' interest, and he submitted the original draft, which should have been discarded, to the project team leader.

   After reading it, the project team leader found it really interesting, and continued to report it to Dave, the general manager of Wanbao North America Division.

"To be honest…"

  When Gu Miao saw the sketch that Dave praised so much, he immediately reacted.

   Isn't this the 63-67 version of "Tom and Jerry"!

   Good guy, I haven't paid attention to it for a while, but Dave and his gang even made this version of "Tom and Jerry"?

What?

  Children's pranks?

  The cause of the incident may be true. A 14-year-old boy named Sanjay made a prototype maliciously.

  But Dave can solemnly submit this plan to Gu Miao, what does it mean? It shows that the "Tom and Jerry" production team has actually discussed it internally, and thinks this plan is very interesting.

   That is to say.

  Since this thing can be delivered to Gu Miao, it means that the production team has already reached a consensus, and now only Gu Miao nods his approval.

  “I think Tom and Jerry in this shape have lost part of their characteristics as beasts and become more like a person.”

  Gu Miao chose her words carefully and said, "Dave, do you think it's really appropriate to portray Tom and Jerry like this?"

  63-67 version of "Tom and Jerry" animation, many people have commented that the painting style is weird and gloomy, with strong fantasy elements, making it uncomfortable and frightening to watch.

  Especially small children.

  This version of "Tom and Jerry" scares many children, especially the plots and backgrounds in it, which sometimes really make people shudder.

for example.

   Few people may have noticed that this version of Tom has very sharp and sharp nails. When threatening Jerry or about to catch Jerry, the scene is a bit scary.

  There is also Tom's eyes, which are often fierce in this version, giving people a murderous feeling.

   "But it's a try."

  Dave didn't want to give up on this idea, and he was still trying to persuade: ""Tom and Jerry" can't stay the same. No matter how interesting the image is, children will get tired of watching it after a long time."

   His meaning is very simple.

  Animation needs innovation, and new things need to be launched at the right time, and we can't always hold the idea of ​​"one trick can be eaten all over the world".

   It will be fine for a while.

  Tom and Jerry are such classic cartoon characters, they can’t sit back and eat their own money after several years or even more than ten years.

   But twenty years, thirty years later?

   "That doesn't have to be such a big step. Small innovations are fine, but I think it's a bit inappropriate for you to change so much at once."

  Gu Miao disagrees.

  63-67 version of "Tom and Jerry", although many years later, the Internet is full of nostalgic and flattering voices, but the fact is that the image of this version of "Tom and Jerry" has never been shown again.

  If it is really as good as everyone is talking about, so classic and so interesting, then MGM will not give up this image and go back to the old way.

   To put it bluntly.

  The 63-67 version of "Tom and Jerry" was a failed version, otherwise, after so many years, there would not have been a remake or a sequel with the same style of painting.

  MGM made a mistake once, so it doesn’t make sense for Wanbao, a follower, to repeat it.

  Gu Miao admits that the 63-67 version of "Tom and Jerry" does have merits, not all shortcomings, and there are quite a lot of fans who like this version of Tom and Jerry very much.

This is a fact!

   But no matter how you say it, the audience who loves this version is still not as many as the old version.

  As an animation producer and also a qualified businessman, Gu Miao's priority must be the group with the widest coverage and the largest number of people.

   In order to satisfy the tastes of a small group of people, deliberately make a version?

  That's what idiots do!

   Putting nothing else aside, even for the sake of the reputation and continuity of the entire series of "Tom and Jerry", Gu Miao does not agree to make a version with a new style of painting.

Why?

  Because the cartoon image of Tom and Jerry, happy friends, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

   Rush to change, trying to correct everyone’s views with a new work, this is no different from mantising a car, or an egg hitting a rock!

for example.

   Fans are familiar with Kunkun, who plays basketball in overalls. You suddenly said that this muscular man with a wingspan of more than two meters and a height of nearly two meters is Kunkun. Can ikun accept it?

   Rough words are not rough.

  Anyway, with Gu Miao's attitude, the image of Tom and Jerry is already deeply rooted in people's hearts. At this time, it is not suitable and should not launch a brand new image, which will cause troubles for fans.

  As for Dave's so-called aesthetic fatigue, will the audience get tired of watching it?

   Please...

  If you say you are tired of watching other animations, you can explain it, but this is "Tom and Jerry"!

  How could it be possible to get tired of watching "Tom and Jerry"? Even if the same episode is replayed countless times, some people still watch it with gusto.

   This is similar to the 86 version of Journey to the West. I have watched it countless times. Not only do I know the plot development of this episode, but I can even recite the lines accurately and silently, but there is still no shortage of viewers.

   Tired of watching? joke!

   Such a classic work, you won’t get tired of watching it a hundred times.

   Even when I see some hot chicken idol dramas and hot chicken animations, I want to watch "Journey to the West" and "Tom and Jerry" again to wash my eyes!

   Have you seen the live-action version of "Tom and Jerry"?
