    The influence of the 1990s can be said to be wide-ranging. For people born in the 1970s and early 1980s, it can definitely evoke all their childhood memories. From the moment a little lion named "Simba" was born, its fate has held the hearts of many viewers. The wit and bravery of the little lion have been widely praised. At a certain moment, "Simba" is not only our favorite name for the little lion, but also our special word for bravery, tenacity and affection.

    The classic cartoon "The Lion King" released in the United States in 1994 tells the story of a little lion named "Simba" who spent a beautiful childhood under the caress of his father Mufara and all the subjects on the African savannah. Time flies. When Simba grows up, his uncle Scar begins to take a series of persecutions against Simba in order to compete for the throne. After his father was killed, Simba fell into deep self-blame and grief, and he left the African savannah, far away from all the memories that once accompanied him. Later, by chance, Simba met his childhood partner Nana, who told Simba that since Scar became king, everyone has been living in dire straits. At Nana’s request, and under the guidance of the sorcerer Lafarge and his father, Simba returned to the lion kingdom and saved his people with his wit and bravery…

    The review of this storyline stretches our memory to that era. The passion and excitement brought by the lion named Simba make us feel disappointed and relieved. Yes, "The Lion King" is gone, but the era it can represent always makes us feel unforgettable because of it.

    The times have passed, but the works that represent the times will continue to emerge. Recently, Hollywood 3D animation is about to land in China, and it has exactly the same shadow as "The Lion King". After "The Lion King" was first released in the United States on June 15, 1994, it was also released in more than 20 countries in Europe, Latin America and Africa. To this day, this film is still the only cartoon in the history of film to enter the top ten box office. The total box office revenue has exceeded 750 million US dollars, according to incomplete statistics!
The upcoming animated film "Loving Wolf in the Cluster", which also came from the United States, has also been a great success and warm-up in South Korea, Taiwan and other places. It seems that the Loving Wolf in "Loving Wolf in the Cluster" is also planning to learn from the idol Simba’s way of fame and use his own unique "wolf charm" to go to the world.


"The Lion King" leads 2D technology, and "Wolf in the Grove" 3D takes over again

    In addition to the way the release spread, what is more similar to "The Lion King" is that "The Lion King" used the most advanced 2D animation technology at the time, while "The Wolf in the Grove" used the current trend of 3D animation technology, both of which are technological pioneers. In addition, in the setting of the protagonists, the lion in "The Lion King" and the wolf in "The Wolf in the Grove" both have similar backgrounds and adventures. Such a similar opportunity in the film’s connotation and external form, just like placing "The Wolf in the Grove" in the path of "The Lion King", as a continuation of 90 years of classic animation, this upcoming animation may really establish another classic image after Simba.

    The anthropomorphic emotions between animals in the 1990s have been continued and sublimated in modern "Loving Wolves in the Cluster", not only because of the passage of time, the innovation and reform of technology, and the improvement of the plot content, but also an epoch-making progress in strength. After so many years, people’s emotional world has become more profound, and they may have different feelings about the understanding of animals. Whether the brave adventurous spirit of the two Loving Wolves in "Loving Wolves in the Cluster" will bring everyone a second "Simba Pursuit" is a question worthy of attention.

    "Loving Wolves in the Grove" tells the story of two wolves who are unfortunately captured alive by mountain rangers. During transportation across the country, they sneak out of their cages and try to find any way to return to their familiar homeland. This film can be called an adventure story. The two wolves embark on a chaotic and dangerous road trip together. The spiritual power conveyed during this time can be described as demagogic. Remember the words Simba shouted when he angrily declared war on Scar: "I am back, you choose, either abdicate or accept the challenge!" That kind of domineering pride, I don’t know how many little guys’ passion for life was ignited back then, eager to mobilize their whole body to complete a significant mission, and that sense of mission or dominance touched how many "people who have witnessed Simba’s success" ah. In "Loving Wolves in the Grove", the little wolf as the protagonist also shouted this inspiring and heroic words: "I am not afraid of fighting!". This kind of concise but meaningful adventure declaration will also bring the same power to children of the age when we watched "The Lion King".

    "Loving Wolves in the Forest" is not only similar to "The Lion King" in technological innovation, but also similar in broadcast form and protagonist setting. What is more concerning is that the warmth and heart-stirring of the story are comparable to "The Lion King". The adventure of the two wolves going home together in "Loving Wolves in the Forest" makes the viewer feel immersive, worried about the dangers encountered by the protagonists, and happy for them to survive the disaster. Compared with the former, its breakthrough is more profound and romantic in the interpretation of the meaning of the film. For the emotional drive of the audience, the animation image produced by the two little wolves in the new era will definitely give more narration to human emotions. As a continuation of the animated films of the last century, "Loving Wolf in the Grove" is indeed a true new era "The Lion King".
