While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
青岛今天开始点映。《雄狮少年》太棒了！太棒了……考虑他在目前国内动画市场所拥有的意义，我要给10分。国产动画电影终于在“讲中国故事”这条路上不再围绕神话人物兜兜转转，哪吒和孙悟空可以躺回去不用总被拖出来鞭尸了。这是一部现代中国语境下、充满各种时代细节、地域气息浓厚却几无理解门槛、小孩子看热闹、成年人会共鸣、全年龄的励志喜剧类型片，而他内核实际上是个青年定位，主角线的具体设计在国产动画里是首次出现。全片节奏卡点非常准确，剧本却能突破套路给人猜不到的反转，几场写意段落的演出极为出色，天台的舞狮戏和结尾高潮的醒狮让人眼眶湿润。瑕疵有两点：影片前半某些台词过于中二，猜测是为了拉低观影门槛而做的调整，或者故意与影片后半做区分；某些喜剧段落的连接过渡有点生硬。但这些瑕疵在这部片的现时意义面前我可以忽略。
这个大制作，是我花30块就能看到的吗？场景真的很精致，每一帧都充满精巧的细节，很久没看过这么有视觉和听觉享受的动画了，剧情老套，但完成度很高，是非常不错的商业片。
如若是春节档，必定会在中国票房榜前列留下一个闪亮的名字，国动之光，2021最佳影片。
电影不错，虽然俗套，但还是被感动了。男主角还是好看的，代表中国少年，并不丢人。男二号（高瘦那个）是有点其貌不扬，但角色设定本来就是个被人欺负的弱鸡，也不用长得太好看吧，没必要主角配角所有人都好看，那种影视剧也挺假的，而且他的五官和神态真的有点像早期的林忆莲（当然林忆莲要漂亮很多），无论如何这种长相都不算辱华，不然林忆莲就没法来内地演出了。再退一步，即便是不太好看的那个男孩，真的看了电影的话，也不会觉得他丑，因为他的坚持、真诚和勇敢会慢慢让人肃然起敬。只凭一帧截图，恶意煽动民族情绪，无端中伤中国电影，这种行为才更令人不齿吧！
很喜欢，说明电影还是视听语言的艺术。开头的长镜、类似黄飞鸿的多机位剪辑、不经意的dolly-zoom都是提升观感的。所有人都知道主人公最后要翻最高的竹子，但怎么说这个俗套的事呢，导演用一个从逼仄狮头出发上仰的主观镜头全讲明白了，漂亮！这个镜头已经让我停不下泪了，而后面精确掐点的九连的歌让我的局面愈加恶化，我想周星驰看了都会高兴的吧。
哪有什么歧视，好就是真的好。中国动画总被人诟病，但是做好做起来真的太难了……希望鼓励大于挑刺
1、精准的周星驰式无厘头笑点，生活的艰辛与梦想的热血碰撞的经典剧情，精致流畅的作画和镜头调度，极具特色又恰如其分的配乐。在一个相当俗套的故事下把一切都做到了几乎完美。
开头30分钟非常无聊，看得我都快睡着了。但为啥还是给了五星呢？因为后半段实在是太赞了！观影过程中，能清楚地感受到制作团队对“舞狮”这项中国传统艺术的熟悉与热爱，中段的舞狮大赛简直精！彩！绝！伦！主角的经历也十分贴近普通人的生活，几乎每个情节都能让我想到自己，所以看电影时一直在哭。最让我喜欢的还是结局和彩蛋，虽然主角没说一句话，但一切尽在不言中：“不要因为生活放弃梦想，但也不要为了梦想放弃生活。”这才是我想看的电影，能让我从别人的故事里获得勇气，然后继续勇敢面对自己的人生。
前半段不太行，后面从阿娟开始去打工逐渐好看了起来，整体还是不错的，里则林这个编剧的风格，似乎找到了比较正确的打开方式，那些中二的东西只有搭配二次元的呈现形式才会不那么违和。音乐很好，尤其是椅子乐队那首歌，居然可以这么用，离乡别井的打工人真的有深深被安抚到，哭了好久。
20211219 UME 事实证明能进院线的国漫水平都不差…《雄狮》或许可以看作是国漫脱离传统文学路径依赖的开始？骨骼是日本传统少年热血漫画，血肉是生成于广东乡村的生命经验和舞狮文化传统，经络和情感则来自更广泛的城市化过程中一代人的离愁别绪、与生活的缠斗，自我怀疑与自我成长。有动漫和港片一贯的的插科打诨，有共鸣，有温度，有现实感，也有bug——但瑕不掩瑜。节奏气口都对，画面和动作设计堪称无懈可击。阿娟去城里打工一幕简直是催泪炸弹。2021国片最佳。
8.0 看到了早期的成龙片，怀疑这片是卢正雨监制的中段太神似了。虽然还是用台词和大道理去拉升剧情，但李白这段太燃了。结尾的鼓点太爆炸了。气氛拉满，配乐出色。唯一的问题是节奏稍微有点快，感觉开了1.25倍速，太急。彩蛋最后的片尾曲《无名之人》请一定要听完“无名的人啊 我敬你一杯酒，
除了人物外表设计“不符合传统古典审美”外，其他全片都真实到接近不像动画，戳心戳肺的细节完美再现；分镜头、节奏感爆棚，气质大气磅礴，所有参赛舞狮队伍集体击鼓燃爆，然而归根到底这部片的心境却是苦楚悲伤的，黝黑肤色，深深锁骨，一身肌肉，在大城市脱胎换骨的阿娟与妈妈打电话是全片最泪奔场面，所以啊，所以本片成为黑马横空出世，片尾曲里藏着缘由：它不只是励志片，更是一支唱到所有打工人心坎里的歌，是举杯致敬所有离家的人、无名的人、在楼宇的缝隙中残喘谋生的人、我们这些仅仅只是活着就已拼尽全力的人们的，一杯醇厚动人的酒
万达虹桥4厅。三星半，第一幕充满了浮夸的陈词滥调，像是用动画模拟港片记忆，诸如绷带手、上摩托、迟到戏不在现实基调里，但进入广州后，阶层的酸楚透过美术上的对比晕染开来——主角在家乡，废也废得田园牧歌，在城市，徒剩灰色的普通，然后被第三幕救赎，不多说了，跳在燃/泪点上，其实想想舞狮挺浮夸的，但这种浮夸有梦幻的轻盈，恰与少年心气合拍，ending太棒，作为后《乐队的夏天》电影，有回到主场之感。
暂时只说说优点：
是优秀到广东省可以用来当形象宣传片的程度✔
不好看我头输给你！九连真人的歌迷一定要去看啊啊啊啊啊，我死了
剧情的可预测性很强，有一些略尬的地方，但第三幕的燃，够4星
很明显有继承自黄飞鸿狮王争霸的影子，但是更现代了。少年心中的雄狮，永远激动人心。吹爆粤语版。
最终决定给5分，既有新意又有立意，兼具现实主义的细致描摹和浪漫主义的唯美和燃。故事将舞狮的传统文化底蕴和所代表的民族精气神，与社会边缘群体（留守少年）的抗争与成长完美，有机地结合在一起。画面运镜质感一流，动作场面遒劲有力，配乐应景到位。虽然故事节奏发展有点过快且生硬，且感情线的埋伏似乎没有必要，但总体上瑕不掩瑜。
动画片自带的喜剧色彩消解了剧本过浓的melodrama属性，现实主义底子又让电影高出了传统励志竞技片一截，从练功蒙太奇中的工地掠影一直贯穿到出字幕那帧画面。另外这动画水准是真能打啊!
