Nowadays, more and more children are growing up watching domestic animation and Hollywood animation. However, even Hollywood cartoons are increasingly relying on computer production technology to perform, and the expressiveness of computer technology is still greatly reduced compared with hand-drawn art.
Therefore, in terms of the artistry of the picture, there are many European and Japanese hand-drawn film animations that are far better than Hollywood productions, of course, not to mention domestic animation.
Japan has the familiar Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli. Today, Dad will introduce some amazing European animated films that are beautiful. Help children develop the highest level of aesthetic sentiment from an early age.
1 The Secret of Kells
Suitable age: 9 years old and above
Douban score: 8.4
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 91%
Children who have watched "Song of the Sea" may find that the texture of this cartoon is very similar to that of "Song of the Sea": it has smooth and delicate lines, complex and bold colors, and simple and bright character modeling. Yes, the directors of the two films are the same person – the Irish director Tom Moore.
The film was nominated for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Tips for Mom and Dad:
The one that impressed me most about Song of the Sea was the blue, while the cartoon was full of fresh green. Through the perspective of the young friar Brandon, the director restores the era of the Celtics and Vikings. Therefore, children can not only get aesthetic enjoyment from the process of watching movies, but also a good historical enlightenment.
Although the film revolves around the religious classic "The Book of Kells", the specific content of the "Book of Kells" is not expressed in the film, so the religious atmosphere is not very strong.
But the second half of the film shows viking invasions, sweeping towns and slaughtering people, which may be too intense for preschoolers. There are also some more thrilling scenes in the film, such as red glasses and entangled wolves, so it is not recommended for children before the first grade of elementary school.
Executive Summary:
In distant Ireland, the young friar Brandon lived in a high-walled monastery. In order to resist the Viking invasion, the Dean strictly forbade Brandon to step into the outside world. One day, the famous Iona illustrator Itami came to the monastery. The book of Kells, the religious text that Itami was working on, was interrupted by foreign aggression. Brandon was fascinated by the Book of Kells, who was determined to help Itami complete the drawing of the classics, so he challenged the ban to leave the monastery and venture out into the new and dangerous world outside
2 The Illusionist

Douban score: 8.7

There are several scenes in the film that make me feel like I'm in a Miyazaki movie. Director Sylvia Jomai has been learning to draw with her mother since she was two years old. When I was a child, my dream was to become a comic strip artist and illustrator, and when I grew up, I became an animator by mistake.
Therefore, we can find that Sylvia Jomai's animation has a strong sense of illustration. The still picture is like Miyazaki in a cool tone. When watching The Magician, I believe that the children's eyes are appreciating the beautiful art every second.
The film tells the story of an old magician and a little girl's long-lost friendship, and it may be an older child who can understand the content of the story. The overall mood of the movie is relatively gloomy, so it is not recommended for children before the first grade of primary school.
In the late 1950s, people were obsessed with television and rock and roll, and paid no attention to the juggling that had grown up with them. An experienced magician, on the stage is decent and calm, but in reality he has to circulate in various performance venues for the sake of poor living expenses, from the luxurious concert hall to the dilapidated and remote tavern, what remains unchanged is his dedication to magic.
While lingering in a scottish countryside, the magician met a little girl who was amazed by the magic and secretly left her hometown to follow in the magician's footsteps. They travel to Edinburgh, life becomes more and more difficult, and in order to satisfy the girl's trust in magic and her yearning for the bustling world, the magician has to find ways to make money.
3 Nocturnes (Nocturna)
Suitable age: 8 years old and above
Douban score: 8.2
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 84%
It is also an animated film that reminds you of Hayao Miyazaki. The night is not as terrifying as the night in traditional stories, but there is a sense of intimacy that makes people want to be in it. The pictures in the film can inspire children's hazy poetry, but also let them appreciate the fun of the night.
It is also a movie about growing up and overcoming fears, and children can follow our little protagonist and experience the joy of growing up for more than an hour.
Some shots of the film may still be too nervous for younger children, and the soundtrack of the animation is also more tense and exciting. Therefore, it is recommended for children above kindergarten level to watch.

Tim had to steal the contact information of the Star Guardian and ask Pasteur to accompany him to retrieve the Star again.
In the magical world of the night, Tim travels between Pastor's cat retinue and the dream-making and dewdrop-making elves to the Star Guardian's quarters, unaware that he and Post are now caught up in Moka's plot.
4 Azur & Asmar: Princes' Quest
Suitable age: 7 years old and above
Douban score: 8.1
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 80%
It's an extremely beautiful adventure story, and the picture is full of Islamic flavor. The picture is rendered like watercolor, gorgeous and sydney-like. I believe that today's children are rarely able to watch such exquisite animations.
Director Michelle Oslow has spent her life working on animated films and won numerous awards. Extremely difficult, all his works were written by himself and images were drawn. This animated film, which was his work in 2009, was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 22nd Spanish Goya Awards.
Of course, children can appreciate not only the intricate and gorgeous Islamic art style in the film, but also the beauty of human nature – respect, courage and friendship – in this exotic adventure story.
Although this is an adventure animation, there is not much thrilling content in it, but these contents are extremely realistic in terms of animation performance. Therefore, it is recommended for children above kindergarten class to watch.
