民族化、跨文化与寓言化:近十年“西游题材”动画电影的改编与传播

Nationalization,Cross-culture and Allegorizing:The Adaptation and Spread-ing of Animated Films on“Journey to the West”in the Past Ten Years

近十年来,我国“西游题材”动画电影虽然数量较多,但除了《大圣归来》获得了票房与口碑双赢外,其他则反响平平,更别说与迪士尼、梦工厂和皮克斯公司产品的动画电影抗衡了。从动画造型来看,我国“孙悟空”动画造型的探索在保持民族特色和跨文化尝试的撕扯中,面临了一些新问题;近十年我国西游动画再编码方式不断变化,也面临着走向低幼化、游戏化的现实问题;西游动画电影作为“民族寓言”符号隐喻,一方面讲述着孙悟空的当代故事,另一方面作为社会镜像,应该表征出不同时代意识形态话语,传播时代精神。

Although the number of animated movies with the theme of“Journey to the West”in recent ten years is relatively large,only the“Return of the Great Sage”has won a success office and reputation.Other animated movies have a negligible response,not to mention the comparison with Disney,DreamWorks and Pixar Company.In order to explore the reasons,this paper mainly analyses the current situations and problems of adaptation and dissemination of animated films in China from three aspects:first,the exploration of“Monkey King”animation in China is facing some new problems in maintaining national characteristics while making cross-cultural attempts;second,the re-coding of China’s animations about“Journey to the West”in the past ten years includes subversive rewriting,the modern rewriting of heroic characters,the confirmation of self-subject consciousness and the pursuit of self-identity in the context of modern age.At the same time,it also faces the problems of lowjuvenile and game-oriented;third,as a symbolic metaphor of“national allegory”,the animated films of the Westward Journey,as a social mirror,are important strategies for the aesthetic expression of ideological discourse and image dissemination in different times.
