Nobody puts Baymax in the corner.

But seriously, if it wasn't for Baymax and some great visuals, Big Hero 6 would've been a disaster. It doesn't even try to change up the formula or try something new. It's a bland mix of Marvel's latest output with the cliched Disney formula, leading to a totally forgettable experience. It tries to be emotionally heavy towards the end, but it mostly doesn't work because these characters aren't even characters; they're all fit to attract a certain demo. Nothing more, nothing less. And the fact that it dumbs itself down for the kids in the audience pisses me off even more. Think more along the lines of Monsters vs. Aliens than The Incredibles with…

From the creators of Wreck-It Ralph & Frozen comes another impressive outing that's as fresh, smart & intuitive as the above mentioned films and, apart from continuing the recent success streak for the studio, also marks their first foray into the genre of superhero filmmaking as the premise is based on Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name.

The story of Big Hero 6 concerns a young prodigy who develops a special bond with his older brother's creation called Baymax; an inflatable robot designed to serve as a personal healthcare companion. But when Hiro discovers his own invention being used for evil purposes, he transforms Baymax & his friends into a band of high-tech heroes to take on the person responsible.

Let me get one thing straight. There is no Marvel story structure or whatever you want to call it. There is a story structure Marvel uses a lot, both in their comics and their films. It is a structure done to death in about 99% of big, commercial animation movies. Don't blame Marvel for everything that's wrong in the movie industry, blame God Money who rules us all.

Now, this is not 'The Avengers for kids' (which to my surprise is in the actual synopsis of this film on this very site), if anything it's How to Train your Baymax and I mean that in the best way possible.

There are hardly any truly original mainstream animation films. They have…

"Diagnosis: puberty."

Big Hero 6 has an absolutely wonderful sense of humor, and it's hard to overstate the importance of that in a genre which is growing more and more stale by the minute. And the best part is not only that it's funny, but that it's funny in so many ways. It uses all the tools at its disposal to get jokes across—visuals (try and tell me the way Baymax walks doesn't remind you of Charlie Chaplin), sound (the scene where Baymax is taping up the holes in his arms), script ("There are no red lights during car chases!")—and it's not even primarily a comedy.

It's also grounded in a fairly effective emotional core. The story does a lot…

“Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion.”

I can’t avoid going into a Walt Disney Animation Studio film with high expectations considering they very rarely get it wrong, especially when John Lasseter is involved in the production. Big Hero 6 is their latest animated film, and this time they teamed up with Marvel so there was much more to get excited about. Big Hero 6 delivers everything it promised in the trailers: fun characters, stunning visuals, entertaining action scenes, and a lot of heart. Let me begin with the aspect of the film I found most fun: the characters. This is basically an origin superhero story about characters I had not heard about. They really don’t have special powers,…

I think i initially didn't want to watch this film because of the 6 in the title, whilst i didn't remember the last 5 Big Heroes, i think we can honestly say that we're tired of super hero sequels and how unoriginal they are. Big Hero is not any of those things and is one of the best animated films i have seen in a long long time.
If 2001 Space Odyssey was to Kubrick what Star Wars is to George Lucas, then Wall-E is to Pixar what Big Hero 6 is to Disney; the entertainment in Big Hero 6 ups the ante and builds upon themes which were set up by its predecessor.
