C. The Comparing of Cases
Comparing the Chinese animation The Legend of
Sonogram Festival with the Japanese animation Spirited Away,
the former has mirrored from folk art in its modeling,
providing audiences with visual enjoyment of union, harmony
and joy. The colors are decorating; impress people with the
graceful charm of dais women. The latter has colorful and
changeable characters, just as Kandinsky points out in
Concerning the Spiritual in Art. “The eyes would be attracted
gradually and powerfully as long as there are bright colors,
which would be stronger if it is bright warm color.” In
modeling, the characters’ characteristics are highlighted. In
addition, through the film, the move towards the nature hidden
in people’s heart has been touched, and the audiences will
think deeply about relationship between human and the nature.
These two films present different regional animation styles
from model, color, spirit and music.
