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'.

众所周知，四大天王有五个人；mei爹炒菜那场戏的材质和光线，绝了！
用变身成红色毛茸茸怪物这个意象暗示少女初潮，这个想法非常巧妙。整个故事最大的进步是，终于让人觉得作为主角的华裔不是那么刻板印象了。不过，有个人设上的微妙矛盾是，长辈（父母）的特点像出自1985-1995年代，而孩子（女主）的个性则像是2010-2020世代的，推测是编剧写到爸妈就代入了自己的回忆，同时想贴近当代年轻人，所以刻画主角用了更与时俱进的设定。另一个违和感是，迪士尼老爱用一个适合A矛盾（自我-独特-反同化）的魔幻设定去表达B矛盾（自我-成长-反权威），因而不如亚当斯一家那种一路黑到底来得有趣。最后，无论如何也无法接受小熊猫是这个样子，脸上标志性的深棕色泪痕没有，耳朵也不太对劲，而且非得那么胖……就好像阿宝的尾巴是黑色。话说，当代家长发现女儿有这能力，早就抖音直播准备参加偶像活动了吧？
只有最后熊猫家族集体变身那算是有一点带感。
故事太简单，过于图解主题，导致整体观看过程无趣、尴尬、不耐。
讲东亚母女关系确实讲得又好笑又切到了痛处。
剧情稍弱，但作为皮克斯的中等水品作品，强大工业能力可见一斑
感觉迪士尼还是不要碰关于zg或者华裔主题的题材了，做了都进不来。。。皮克斯一如既往充满了有趣的灵魂，这次甚至真的是可爱又有趣，毛茸茸的小熊猫，如果可以进来应该会成为乐园里喜闻乐道的IP。寻找自我，和保持自我的主题，全家人都变成小熊猫真的太萌了。以及这电影里也可以看到KPOP的侵袭，真的是……不合理，笑的
母女关系、追星女孩，导演是真的懂。喜欢这个爸爸角色，“与你身体里的野兽共处”
属于皮克斯的第二梯队，这次是东方人会共情西方人会猎奇，都会喜欢何乐不为呢，很接地气，也是这些年东方元素动画里最能够感同身受的一部，另外这个毛茸茸的真的萌，还有男团大场面真的很搞很到位，电子宠物很怀旧
看的时候心中一阵惊恐，那个妈妈跟我妈一样一样的，太可怕了，被支配了一辈子……
可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱我要说一万遍！亚裔+女性导演的正确打开方式，不卖弄不刻意不抹黑原原本本地展示就是最吼的！姐妹淘天团贴心到肝颤！！
因为建国后不许成精，所以小熊猫全家移民加拿大的故事
这么好的片子为啥不引进到院线呢？真的可惜可惜可惜啊！虽然故事和角色设置有很多cliche的地方，但内核却是动人的，你身体里的那个小熊猫，还在吗？最后母女大战那里好泪目。如果出了周边真的想爆买啊！
已经美化很多了，但是对成长在相似环境下的我们来说，某些场景还是过于真实了。
卧病在床好几天半死不活，想找个简单的快乐，看完之后却发现自己真的不适合再看青少向的电影了！！！面对现实吧！！！！
苏格拉底说，认识你自己，能变成熊猫超酷的。但毕竟还是一个讲鸡汤的合家欢，DNA里的家、孝、父权带来的压迫、控制将世代传承，生生不息。何时我们才能真正做到尊重个体？
青春期女儿与妈妈的冲突还能表现得这么可爱又…充满破坏力呀
镜像的设计太巧妙了，每个人心中都有红熊猫，保留住红熊猫就是保留住自我的完整性。
母女三代之间的和解，以红熊猫做隐喻，不得不说导演把海外华人的亲子关系和文化演绎得相当细腻，尤其结尾部分很感人，要说它的不足之处，可能就是整部影片的情节戏剧冲突较少，节奏过于快速，节奏点踩得过于明显了，但作为一位三十出头的年轻华裔导演，能做到这样已经相当不错，希望未来能看到更优秀的作品。三颗星给导演，一颗星给导演与母亲之间的亲情。希望每个孩子的13岁都能获得属于自己的成长选择。吴珊卓的妈妈这个角色很出色，吴珊卓亲自演都应该能演出这种喜剧效果。（BTW难道只有我觉得这个红熊猫一点也不可爱吗？哈哈哈）
62岁的英国著名女演员艾玛汤普森的真诚、大胆地演出，保证了此片的质量。年轻女导演探讨女性问题，值得赞赏。
