This thesis analyzed the beauty in Vietnamese animated films adapted from literary works during the period 2000-2015 through elements such as: thematic systems, character imagery, stories, plots, and narrative methods. Through analysis, the thesis identified that the beauty expressed in Vietnamese animated films lies in their simplicity and closeness to life; beloved character imagery possesses personalities, psychology, actions, and thoughts close to the contemporary world; stories and plots often explore the journey of characters' self-improvement, growth, overcoming failure to achieve success, enlightenment, and self-perfection; and narrative methods often employ a gentle, simple, direct, and easily understandable storytelling style. From the above results, the thesis identifies the basic aesthetic concepts in Vietnamese animation, namely: Beauty lies in educational and moral values, Beauty is linked to the enhancement of scientific and social knowledge, Beauty is accompanied by a straightforward, simple, and direct narrative method…
Exploring the forms and genres of animation, this thesis delves into analyzing the beauty expressed through the stages of character design, acting, and the application of technical and technological elements. The thesis concludes that Vietnamese animators value bright, gentle, and harmonious beauty in character design; strive for softness, fluidity, playfulness, and liveliness in acting; and are creative and flexible in using technical and technological elements to showcase the unique strengths of animation. The thesis also points out that the beauty expressed in 2D animation is subtlety, softness, and fluidity; in paper-cut animation, it is symbolic and generalized beauty; and in 3D animation, it is the vibrancy of space, setting, characters, and especially special effects.
With the above conclusions, the thesis has scientifically systematized the entire perspective on the beauty of Vietnamese animation. Hopefully, the thesis will contribute to the theoretical foundation of the art of animation, providing filmmakers with more research materials on Vietnamese animation to apply to their creative practice.
