Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

糖水铺的原型是文明路隔壁那间今日糖水，善良阿婆变成了动画的蒯老伯，常年劳作酸痛的手，隔壁帮忙的兰州拉面老板，亲近的街坊领居，时不时穿插老伯年轻是喜好甜品的缘由 并将贴着碗边吃凉的教给其他小朋友，因为忙碌少回家的子女，这些都是温馨的日常。这部片过于好睡。
组织了活动，三场，大概60多个孩子。但，这个电影应该大人看，孩子很难看懂。也就故事性最强的哼将军和哈将军孩子看了乐呵呵
如果前面几个故事还可以说孰好孰坏，到第六个我的感情只允许我哭。
这是我近几年看过的最具有“戏剧性”的电影！
还不错的同志家庭故事，但对于一方出轨导致的分手离婚有点不能理解。
翼娃子，餐桌上菜场下写作业的孩子，在学校时还时不时教一教餐馆老板的孩子，会请我们一盒冰红茶，3.5/5
故事不复杂，平淡中也见波澜
满满的细节带给我们满满的余韵 让日子慢下来 画风治愈
绘本动画“我和我的童年”，方言配音，最喜欢小火车,哼哈将军。
《萤火虫女孩》《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》还不错.
一波未平，一波又起
七个小故事，国内第一部上映的绘本电影，有充满奇幻浪漫的，有写实的，水墨，剪纸元素也很多元，感情质朴，非常温馨～
原本以为只是无性别差的家庭闹剧 没想到最后升华了啊…… 革命尚未成功 同志仍需努力…… 日本金继的比喻很精妙……
在市面上完全没有掀起任何波澜，但可以说是院线近来最出色的短片合集。是为孩子准备的故事，却也为成年人提供一个回望的机会，绘本的形式天然地容纳了不同风格的短篇创作，但它们又完全关乎于成长与家庭的主题，每个篇章都在水准之上，让这批新锐的作者能在被光照到的地方施展才华。最喜欢《小火车》，用一个浪漫想象指代少年的残缺，如同麦兜说他的妈妈成了宇航员，揭晓真相的一幕也充分释放动画的特性。依然相信中国动画有着神话题材以外的多样可能。
同志婚姻也会像正常婚姻般出现各种各样的问题，也会出轨，离婚，争抚养权
通讯录的婚姻生活也可能是一地鸡毛，除了可能要遭受主流价值观的排斥以外，没有什么不同
3星给形式尝试，但说真的，国内绘本创作真不行，多是成人视角，还有些是作者儿时记忆，差距太大了
很喜欢这部片子的片名，记得是程璧将诗写成的一首歌，真可爱啊。
很可爱的青春家庭片，主题外扯了不少闲篇，倒也并不割裂，男主角好帅
⑥碾压级别的画风，跟“吸铁石朋友”一个缺点，旁白太太太满了。 ⑦怀疑是先拍了视频，再在上面绘制的水彩和人物。
