Description

◆ Fifth meeting with chimpanzee Willy, into Willy’s dream! – Anthony Brown’s Chimpanzee Willie series, which Woongjin.com is continuously publishing. Now I introduce the fifth story. This work is [Willy the Dreamer]. The story is simple. Literally, the dreams that chimpanzee Willie dreams of are unfolded one page at a time. As mentioned in the previous story, our Willy loves to draw, and he also likes to sit quietly, listen to music, and read books. And one more thing. This time he tells us that he also likes to dream. So, what does Willy dream of? In his dreams, Willy transforms into many different appearances, including a movie star, a ballerina, an explorer, and a singer. He sometimes gets chased by the villain Bulungo, but also has terrible dreams where his legs get stiff or he suddenly turns into a monster. He sometimes has pleasant dreams of becoming Bananaman, a hero like Superman, flying in the sky, or becoming a king. He also has cute dreams of going back in time and becoming a baby again, or of marrying Millie in the distant future and becoming the father of two children. Willy's dreams that unfold in the work are not grand and grandiose plans for the future. All sorts of wild imaginations are just like clouds rising in Willy's head, they are literally daydreams. However, it is full of the freedom and joy of the most childlike imagination, and is overflowing with all kinds of stories. First of all, people who read a book need to prepare their minds to imagine and enjoy it as much as they want, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. Only then can you have interesting conversations with Dreaming Willie. Maybe that's the easiest thing for kids like Willie. – – ◆ Dream freely! Children who grow up dreaming - Dream「Myeong」「1」 A mental phenomenon where they see and hear various things while sleeping, just like when they are awake. 「2」Hope or ideal that you want to realize. 「3」False expectations or thoughts that have little or no chance of coming true. – This is the explanation of the dictionary entry ‘dream’. The ‘dreams’ in [Dreaming Willie] have all three meanings mixed together. There are things like Willy's hopes for the future, and there are also wild and absurd imaginations. There are also scenes that reveal the psychological anxiety and sense of competition deep within Willy's mind, or that seem to have been seen in a dream while he was sleeping. Maybe for children, dreams are like that. Whether it is feasible or not is not important, the distinction between reality and imagination is not clear, and there is no need for it. It is the freedom of being able to draw all kinds of things at will. Being so free, it's as natural as breathing. Unless it's a dream you dream of while sleeping, it's different from 'adult dreams', which tend to run into obstacles of self-censorship first. Children who have such privilege grow up dreaming without hesitation, and are full of dreams worth their weight. Anthony Brown seems to have given Willie such freedom in this book. Willy sometimes got into trouble among his strong friends or was teased because of his small physique and timid personality. However, in this work, you can create your own dreams to your heart's content and enjoy yourself comfortably and excitedly. Willy's expression at the beginning and end couldn't be happier. Seeing Willy like that is definitely a good gift for children who read books. Together with Willy, you will excitedly imagine whatever comes to mind, be excited with high expectations, and even compare it to your own dreams. For adults who read the book together, I think it will be a good opportunity to share with children whose dreams are closer than reality and the greater opportunities and possibilities seen in those dreams. – – ◆ Numerous stories contained in dreams. The joy of finding works within works! – In [Dreaming Willie], you can fully enjoy Anthony Brown's love for his most representative character, chimpanzee Willie, as well as his quirkiness and natural playfulness. Willy's dreams, drawn one by one in a large frame, entertain the viewer with their own stories. Just as the paintings Willy drew in [Willy at the Art Museum] ingeniously parodied and synthesized famous paintings with his own story, arousing admiration. But this time it’s not just pictures. Willy's Dream contains a rich story across all genres, including paintings, movies, animations, and literary works. Not only the main character Willy, but Willy's friend Hugh, the villain Bulrunko and his girlfriend Millie, and other supporting actors who make special appearances from other genres do their part by giving various stories and fun to the dream story. Let's look at the scene where Willie dreams of what it would be like to become a movie star. Willy, dressed in various guises, is standing on stage, and among them, you can meet Charlie Chaplin, Tarzan, Dracula, three characters from the Wizard of Oz, and even the dwarfs from Snow White. But that's just the beginning. As you turn the pages one by one, you will see the imagination of Anthony Browne, who has drawn motifs from many works, including the wonderful singing of Elvis Presley, paintings by Van Gogh and Dali, Alice in Wonderland and the Little Mermaid, the story of the Prince and the Pauper, and the myth of Apollo and Daphne. I am amazed by your wit. In addition, it is essential to find out how the uncomfortable feelings and rivalry toward the villain Bulrunko and the love for his girlfriend Millie are expressed. At most, the text, which is two pages of manuscript paper, and 2 pictures, is 24 times more full of rich and diverse stories contained within. And one more thing, a banana story. I was well aware of Willy's love for bananas, but this book seems to be the definitive version of that. Along with Willy's spectacular transformation, finding hidden bananas throughout the picture is an essential attraction of this book. How many bananas are there in this book? This is not an easy problem!
