Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

挺好看的，用搞笑的元素呈现了关于两个男人离婚的事情，值得一看
3星给形式尝试，但说真的，国内绘本创作真不行，多是成人视角，还有些是作者儿时记忆，差距太大了
儿子line的剧情🉑️，浴室对峙太精彩了！
7.5。在国内的院线，你很少能看到一个动画短片集，80分钟7个小故事，不同的导演，这个形式不可避免地就会出现故事质量上的参差不齐。有的故事语言表达上过于低幼，让我感觉自己像被忽悠的傻孩子，而有的故事在现实生活层面表达上的动人之处却又完全不低幼，让我一时搞不清这个影片是给什么年龄段的孩子看的。手绘画面的场景切换做得非常巧妙。我很喜欢《小火车》《哼将军和哈将军》以及《外婆的蓝铁皮柜轮椅》。20220103北京槐房万达影城
太美好了，一切美好的、哀伤的事物跃然纸上。从第一章便破防了，哭个没够。最受触动的故事是「老伯糖水」和「外婆的铁皮轮椅」画面中引起共鸣的细节太多了…市井温情的关照，小人物的生活（这世上又有什么真正的大人物呢）；乡间劳动，麦垛、绿色的招苍蝇的饭罩子、玻璃弹珠、老人卧床呆坐一天又一天… 生活啊，总有那么多解释不清的复杂情绪
感謝蒲蒲蘭和熊貓大大，終於在下著2022初雪的這天看上了中國首部原創繪本改編的動畫電影《向著明亮那方》。七個小故事或鬧騰，或溫柔，或幽默，或深刻，展現了國人的愛與美，也引發了我們對人情的思考，對家庭與愛的表達，對故人的追憶之情。希望今年除夕時分大家都能與家人團聚在一起，畢竟“家“裡總會有個人在問「到哪兒了？」
希望多一些国内的导演，多拍一些符合我们自己风格特色的好电影
制作上还是蒸汽工厂的《哼哈二将》和刘毛宁的《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜》这类有团队的明显更出众一些，独立动画人的一次勇敢的探索！
《蒯阿伯的糖水铺》才是中国版深夜食堂啊，《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》有散文的味道，翼娃子和小火车这两个故事也不错，其他的因为低幼或者别的原因说不上喜欢。
很喜欢HE的结局，只要有爱，其他就不重要，里昂是幸福的。我的双胞胎女儿也有两个爸爸，她们也会快乐幸福地成长！
给幼儿园孩子看，应该还不错，如果小学生看，估计就偏幼稚了。
故事不复杂，平淡中也见波澜
《小火车》（四川人关于地震的DNA真的会永远感应到，故事也讲得很好，不是只煽情）＝《哼将军和哈将军》（萱萱最喜欢这个故事，确实把神话故事和双胞胎奇妙结合hhh）＞《蒯老伯的糖水铺》（hu建话好甜，像食物一样🍮）＞《冀娃子的星期日》（重庆话啷个也这么亲切呀嘻嘻，进城务工子女需要大家的关注，从我自己做起）＞《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》＞《萤火虫女孩》＝《小兔的问题》（故事性最弱，但是画的真的很可爱5555）
不过没有明显惊喜，就我了解的绘本，种类材质主题目前都非常丰富，期待更多改编，元素也更加多元，风格也能更大胆一点，除了感情路线，也期待更多自然，神话，科普，哲学，历史等各种风格，我记得蔡志忠就有很多创意哲学风格，期待更多突破，加油😊！
③小火车，嘴型都对不上，衣服和肉一直在做一种晃动。故事最后虽然感人，但是父母一直站在身后，到底是在还是不在？表意不明。
故事新奇,剧情drama,同志夫夫养崽成人,遇中年情感危机,小男主的片段都挺不错的,有那对兄妹都挺有cp感，最后主题回归血缘不是亲情唯一的纽带，家人间无私的爱更加珍贵
中国首部原创绘本电影，由7个小故事组成，有不同的主题，不仅适合小孩观看，也有供大人思考的寓意，我认为这才是送给孩子最好的礼物！
虽然有点狗血，但是我喜欢这种对于同性婚姻生活的探讨。
看完感觉有点许鞍华《得闲炒饭》的感觉，避重就轻，整个社会系统性的问题没有解决（养了十几年出生证明还不是爹，纳尼？），那主线就family drama吧。不太理解这电影分数为啥这么高
出乎意料的惊艳和感人，剪纸水墨水彩等多种风格的动画集，不乏创意巧思，兼具细腻和浓重的丰富，不止平面的童话，也有深重的生活现实。糖水转出一个个人和城市，剪纸表现压城的黑云和深邃的洞穴，光芒万丈的弹珠和破开的红西瓜，铁皮柜里装着外婆的一生，哼！哈！原来是戏中戏，芝麻糊沿着边一层一层吃才好的嘛…
