No sooner had Peggy Piggy been put on the screen than she became angry. From the very old to the three-year-old children, everyone knows and likes this pink Peggy pig.
Although many things in Piggy Page's cartoon creation may be unintentional at first, many problems have been given new meaning when it is reinterpreted by adults in the context of the whole society.
The Socialized World Created by Piggy Peggy
"Social people" may be a bit boring for many people, but the movie Peggy Piggy really built a virtual "small society" for us. Although the protagonists are a group of small animals that don't exist in reality, the world in comics is also a very social world.
For example, various places in comics, such as supermarkets, hospitals, buses and so on. And different places convey different social functions to children. For example, in various social relationships, when children go to school, visit relatives and friends, write letters and make phone calls, and consult relevant professionals when they encounter professional problems, making friends will naturally be divided into good friends and general friends.
The occupations of these adults also indirectly convey some more important information: the types of jobs are different, but everyone needs to work. At this stage, children can't completely distinguish the illusory comic world from the concrete real world. Piggy Peggy's animated characters are very clever and ingenious in their social ways.
He can help children deepen their understanding of real life and the real world without depriving them of space for daydreaming. That's why Peggy is better than Tom and Jerry. Otherwise, the child will really think that his head will be blown off by the bottom of the pot and he can recover. This guidance is very dangerous.
The middle class represented by the Page family
In the story of Piggy Peggy, Peggy's family lives in Peggy Town, which obviously belongs to a high-middle class residential area, and the single-family villa is simply decorated in European style.
From the work that Father Pig is engaged in, it can be roughly analyzed that he may be an excellent engineer, and from the situation that Mother Pig handles various financial statements at home, although she is a housewife, her annual salary can be comparable to that of most office workers.
From an adult's point of view, Page became popular because he subtly and profoundly highlighted some life cultures of the urban middle class. Someone vividly described this social class structure with a jujube stone: the sharp parts at both ends are the rich and the poor, and the protruding part in the middle belongs to the middle class.
Let yourself belong to the "social person" class with page tattoos.
"Tattoo" is usually understood as a sign of rebellious society. Many people should still remember the tattoo of the teacher's sentence "Left dragon and right white tiger, old cow at the waist, leading in the chest" in the classic movie "Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance". After Piggy Page became popular, its influence exceeded children's audience, and the participation of a large number of adults gradually endowed Piggy Page with the connotation of being a social person.
Many friends and even stars use the lovely version of Peggy tattoo, which just has a funny effect of contrast. Sure enough, they should say "Piggy Peggy's tattoo" and "Applause to the social people".
Different from the social eldest brother who used to have a half-length tattoo and a handbag and a big gold chain and a mink, and the strange shape of "washing, cutting, blowing and killing Matt", Peggy the pink pig does not have any of the above characteristics but is still defined as a symbol of "social person". The representative symbol of "social man" has gradually shifted from the image of "underworld" familiar to the general public to the image of "Peggy Pig" in Q version.
Walter lippmann believes that because the world is huge and complex, and people's own sensory contact ability is limited, they can only know the world by means of the media, and the media's reflection on the world has also formed the public's general view of the world.
Piggy Peggy doesn't mean "social person" at all. After the spread of comics, her image began to coincide with the meaning of "social person".
The audience's cognition of "social man" comes from the construction of the meaning of "social man" by animation as a medium. With the help of the tattoo on Peggy Piggy, people show their social attributes, and through their own practical actions, show the connection between Peggy Piggy and social people to the outside world.
Female class represented by Miss Rabbit
Miss Rabbit, single, is a magical and inspirational supporting role in Piggy Peggy. She has several roles, including selling shoes, selling ice cream, selling museum tickets, driving a school bus, driving a train and flying a plane, and collecting waste at the checkout counter.
The role of Miss Rabbit shows the independent attitude of women. In most cartoons, female characters such as mother are portrayed as a virtuous housewife, washing and cooking at home and teaching children. The role of Miss Rabbit covers almost all walks of life, and even tried many masculine jobs, and there is almost nothing she can't do. It can be said that it is very inspirational.
Actually, it's not just miss rabbit. Many female characters in this film are also skilled and independent. For example, Peggy's mother is not only a housewife, but also often does some word work on the computer.
When Peggy's friend Dai Fen, a donkey, comes to visit, her mother can communicate with her in French. In addition, Peggy's kindergarten classmate Candy's mother is also a professional woman engaged in administrative work. The attitude of contemporary society towards women can basically reflect whether the thoughts of this era are progressing. From this point of view, the three views of the animated "Piggy Peggy" can be said to be very positive.
