Features: When we were young, we all loved listening to stories. How many times did we drift off to sleep as our grandmother slowly narrated ancient legends? Now, with the advent of animated films, these stories, refined by time, have become even more vivid and colorful. Back then, we thought our lives were long and our futures uncertain. We always wondered when we would grow up, be able to speak of love and sorrow, experience joy and sorrow, and live life like an animated film—full of twists and turns, hidden beauty, rising climaxes, and thrilling moments. Years later, we realize that more and more people and things have changed, and we are no longer the innocent, youthful boys with bright smiles. Animation has become a petal that has fallen in our hearts, though incomplete, it carries a lingering fragrance. Every time we see it, we can’t help but sigh. Perhaps for this reason, when we meet, we always feel a deep connection. We reminisce about our shared past, we mourn the good times that have passed, and we cherish those animations. We almost wish we could carry a sack to block the flow of time, preventing it from flowing into an unknown future.
When we were very, very young, we read Andersen’s fairy tales, one of which was The Flowers of Little Ida, about flowers in pots that came to life at night like people, holding dance parties and fully displaying their beauty. From then on, it seemed we understood that all things have a spirit, and Toy Story is the same. Belgian comics are always filled with a kind of gentle humor and strongly reject extreme forms of violence. This is evident in The Smurfs and another globally beloved comic, Tintin’s Adventures, both of which possess a down-to-earth wisdom. This book records all the stories we are familiar with, such as The Smurfs, Fairyland Flowers, Astro Boy, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, Doraemon, Dragon Ball Z, The Lion King, Snow White, Spirited Away, Shrek, and The King and the Bird.
We condense images into words, bring the stories behind them onto paper, collect quotes from the masters who created these classics, and compile the iconic lines of the protagonists. We hope this Reading Animation can become a time tunnel, taking you back to the welcoming of years past and helping you reminisce about the past. This should be a nostalgic book for a generation with similar growth experiences, for those who have loved and love animation, for all friends, and as a for myself. It is not a reference note or a film essay, but simply an album, a memorandum, guiding us to explore endless reflections along the thread of animation.
