What happens

《有求必应》 是中国大陆上海美术电影制片厂制作的一部水墨动画片,该动画片根据中国民间传说改编而成。于1987年上映,讲述了土地神又求必应的故事。 影片讲述早先烧香拜佛的年代,出门十里八村的都有土地庙。有些土地庙有求不应,渐渐的荒废了。但是有座土地庙却很灵验,时常为人们办好事。于是人们送匾一块,上述:“有求必应”四个大字悬于庙前。某年年正月初一,土地爷要上天朝见玉帝,庙中大小事务交给土地婆处理。临行前嘱咐土地婆为民造福,千万不要砸了庙中有求必应的招牌。土地爷上天后不久,船夫上庙烧香请求刮风,农夫拜庙要求下雨。土地婆放风后大风把河边国林的果子吹落一地,而大雨将路过的盐商的食盐全淋化了。果园主人急忙到土地庙烧香要求风停,盐商上供要求停雨。土地婆刹风停雨后农夫和船夫又来求风拜雨,果园主人和盐商则请求停雨住风。最后四个人在土地庙中吵成一团,而土地婆却是谁的要求都满足不了。一怒之下之下,将“有求必应”的匾额摔于庙门前。土地公回来后大吃一惊,向土地婆问明事情原委后,土地公笑呵呵将所有问题一一解决....... 动画片 有求必应(1987) 有求必应 (1987) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
