It is a world within our world, yet unseen by any human, and the beings here control time and tide and the changing of the seasons. On the day Chun turns sixteen, she is transformed into a dolphin to explore the human world. She is rescued from a vortex by a human boy at the cost of his own life. Chun is so moved by the boy's kindness and courage that she decides to give him life again. But to do this, she must protect the boy's soul, a tiny fish, and nurture it to grow. Through adventure and sacrifice, love grows, yet now she must release him back to the sea, back to life in the human world.
It seems to be about magical children who can transform into flying sea creatures. We say “seems to”because there isn’t a word of English in this trailer. Thankfully, you don’t need to know no languages to see just how darn pretty this here trailer is.
No any normal people will do things like what [Xuan and Chun] do, I have to thank the two special people who’ve made this film for their endurance and persistence. A good animated film needs time. It will make the Chinese animation industry proud and will not disappoint anyone who’s been waiting for 12 years.
It is a must-see Chinese animated feature trailer: “Big Fish & Begonia”. It looks impressive.
中國動(dòng)畫電影《大魚海棠》的預(yù)告片必看不可。它真是讓人印象深刻。
-Jerry Beck from Indie Wire
We don’t know a lot about this upcoming Chinese animated film, but wow does it look pretty. It seems very unlikely that the film will get a Western release, but at least we get to see these downright beautiful trailers.
-That threw me off too. Was pretty excited for a split-second.
-那也震撼到我了。每個(gè)瞬間都非常振奮。
-It's wonderful to see something truly beautiful coming from the Chinese industry. Da Hai is something I want to see more than any anime in these coming seasons, and I'm more than sure I won't be disappointed.
