The animated character of Mr. Weather

Freddie is an animated character in the Weather Forecast program of TVB Emerald Channel and Pearl Channel in Hong Kong. Although TVB never mentioned the origin of Mr. Weather, it is said that Mr. Weather's design came from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and TVB is still paying the copyright fee for this role.

Mr. Meteorology is an animated cartoon with a pink face and yellow clothes, which is still in use today. Only when he changed 1993 to computer animation, the details changed slightly. The background will change regularly to match the development of the city. But now the background is "flat", and there has been no "positive" for several years. Whether it is intentional or wrong is unknown. On June 65438+1 October1day, 2008, Hong Kong entered the high-definition era. The inside of TVB has changed, even Mr. Weather's clothes and face have changed, and the short film has been changed to 16:9 format. At the same time, some animations that appeared in the1980s have come in handy again. Some netizens called him Mr. HD Weather. Mr. Weather will forecast the weather in Hong Kong the next day in the animated weather forecast every night.

If it is sunny, he will wear sunglasses;

If the weather is hot, you will be sunburned by the sun;

If there is a thunderstorm, he will be hit by lightning and then run away as fast as possible;

If it rains, dark clouds will turn into towels to wring water;

When it rains heavily, the umbrella will rot soon after it is opened;

If there is a strong wind, he will be blown away by the wind;

If it is cold, it will turn into ice;

If the temperature drops sharply, he will be pressed down by the four characters "temp" (short for temperature) and shout "Hey! It's falling! It's Falli~n~g "(ah! It fell! Drop ~ drop ~ coming ~! );

If the weather is dry, the ground will crack and Mr. Weather's hands will crack;

If there is fog, pick up the oil lamp for lighting.

At the same time, the clip will be accompanied by sound effects such as "Ya" and "Oh", as well as the sound of fog on the air flute.

The above animation plots are exaggerated, vivid and interesting, and are deeply loved by many Hong Kong people. However, as Hong Kong films entered the high-definition era, Mr. Weather's forecast was changed to 3D technology, and the animation became more realistic and reasonable, gradually losing the cartoon expression used in the previous 2D animation. At noon, the news program of Shenzhen Satellite TV used the 2D cartoon version of Mr. Weather, with the famous landmark buildings in Shenzhen as the background.

The weather forecast of Guangdong TV Station Pearl River Channel and Guangzhou TV Station adopts Mr. Weather who looks like a cow, with rural areas and huts as the background, and both have the title of Tang Yan Milk.

ATV used two cartoon characters in 1990: Bai Bo and Mr. Jing Bo who fought against wireless weather. Mr. Weather, who looks like 1980, once appeared in a unit TV in the East Palace and the West Palace.

There is also a Fang Datong song "Mr. Weather".
