The calendar coincidence: this week, two animated films take assault screens of the hexagon. One, "Mission-G", arrives in 500 rooms, offers the ultimate in 3D technology. the other, "Panda, panda", more modestly occupies 80 rooms, but it will attract fans of Miyazaki and Takahata, undisputed masters of the Japanese school of animation.
Artwork by youth for youth, "Panda, panda" dates from 1972. It brings together two short films written by Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Isao Takahata, unknown. Nobody believed in their project until China's offer to the Japan, pledged friendship, a pair of pandas. Immediately, all Japanese is in amourachent. Anticipating the bargain, the Toei studio decided to produce the story of the little orphan who adopts two pandas: a tiny and crisp, another enormous and fun. First Act: the panda accompanied by his new friend at the school. Of course, he commits a thousand blunders and everyone starts his prosecution. Second Act: friends help a baby tiger regain his circus in the flooded city.
Artisan luxury
Shot with few means, "Panda, panda" is a sketch to the highs of the genre then by Takahata ("The grave of the fireflies", "My neighbour the Yamada") and Miyazaki, whose art has captivated the world ("Princess Mononoke", "The journey of Chihiro"). This retro film nevertheless exudes an irresistible homemade charm. Landscapes have the density of a book of images and colors out of a box of pencils. The silhouettes of the hero reduce to two beautiful balls of vanilla and chocolate superimposed. They jump and bounce happily for a 15 hour, across the screen using the "zwing", "pouing" and other sounds bizarre, that all the small audience rush soon mimic the rallumées lights.
For years, the 3D animation inflicting the viewer almost initiation test: more or less clear images, sunglasses relieve the edges of the nose or the ears, eyes that were crying. This era is over: technology is today perfectly to the point and the public street in the rooms. With more than 4 million entries in nine weeks of operation in France, "Up" appears in the Top 4 of the past year. On the unexpected "Giant meatballs storm", which will be out in October 21, he collected $ 96 million in four weeks on North American territory.
Magical special effects
"Mission-G", at halfway between "Mission impossible" and "Transformers", should a similar fate and this would be entirely justified. Imagine a team of India pigs with any modern technology and a commando of high level training, responsible for saving the world. There are Darwin, the Chief of the band, morale and nerves of steel. Blaster, the expert on weapons of all kinds, paré at charged at every moment; Juarez, a professional arts martial and especially terribly sexy (voice of Penélope Cruz in the VO). Its motto: "If you could kill a look, you would be already dead."Blaster in Clip for it. This fine team the services of a Mole is Assistant unbeatable star snout in computer science and a fly with a field of view at 360 degrees, expert reconnaissance mission. What can be added, if applicable, a bustling phalanx of cockroaches. Full of humour with a scenario filled with twists, magical special effects and spectacular cascades, "Mission-G" meets his high contract the leg.
