Tchou Tchou

I enjoyed the style behind this film—it was so inviting because it created a whole new world that resembled the playful child-like innocent environment. While watching it for the first time in class, I was so caught up in the way every little piece was moving that I didn't even think about the resemblance to the creation story. The way that the solid, square objects flowed so smoothly throughout the set was too mesmerizing for me to focus on much else. Any object that had motion was exciting to watch because it was so unique! The perception of each item from the 4 basic viewing sides (more if you count top and bottom) did take away from the realism that shows up in animated films, but not in such a way that you couldn't understand the environment.

This is the type of film that is the best kind of interesting. Funny YouTube videos may make me feel inclined to share them with my friends, but incredibly intelligent stories have so many good things packed in them that you can easily notice or appreciate something new each time you see it. This makes sharing movies so much better.

I've loved to analyze movies and then sit back to be amazed by how much detailed thought went into each little part of the story, set, dialogue, (the list is endless). Tchou Tchou is one of those examples because there are new things to appreciate each time you see it, but practically nothing you notice was an accident.

I also thought this film was significant because of the simple way it addresses a story so that children can enjoy it for its innocence, but others can enjoy it for its internal messages. As a perfectionist, I appreciate the amount of background work that is necessary to create any kind of film (except a really bad one), and I love to look for it in order to enjoy it.
