I've never imagined the movie is so interesting. There are 64 kinds of animals in it. After watching the movie, I learned more about animals. I would recommend this movie to those animal lovers.

—John

I have seen many cartoons of this kind, but the plots(情節(jié))are surprisingly funny and I love the sweet voice in it. My brother and I just couldn't help laughing from the beginning to the end.

—David

This movie is so well made. I went to see it with my 5—year—old son last Sunday afternoon. I love the beautiful music while my son loves the rabbit police officer Judy very much. It shows that small animals like Judy can also do serious work.

People who have visited the Forbidden City would be impressed (給…留下深刻印象) by the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. The Forbidden City lies in the center of Beijing, north of Tian’anmen Square. It has 9,999 buildings, which are surrounded by a six-meter-deep moat (護(hù)城河) and a ten-meter-high wall. The wall has a gate on each side: the Meridian Gate to the south, The Shenwu Gate to the north, the Xihua Gate to the west, and the Donghua Gate to the east.

The Forbidden City got its name by forbidding (禁止) common people to enter unless they were allowed. The city is divided into two parts. The southern part, or the Outer Court was where the emperor (皇帝) exercised his power over the nation. The Outer Court covers a large space between the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Heavenly Purity. The northern part, or the Inner Court, was where the emperor lived with his family members. Everything in the emperor’s personal rooms was yellow, including his clothing and bedding.

The building of the palace began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle rule. It was not completed until 1420. It was said that a million people, including one hundred thousand skilled workers were driven into long-term hard work. It was said that a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to move huge stones on the ice into the city. Ancient Chinese people showed their great skills in building the Forbidden City.

Until the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court in 1924, fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty had ruled there. The Forbidden City had been the imperial (帝國的) palace for some five centuries. It was home to a large number of people, as many as 9,000 in the high point of the Qing Dynasty, including the royal family members, servants, and guards. And now it is the world’s largest palace museum. In 1987, it was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural legacy. Now it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide.

●too advanced, or too complicated (難懂的) for beginners

●hard to understand

●not really interesting
