WHO THE HELL GAVE THIS FILM THE RIGHT?!?!
From the promo on the homepage of Netflix I assumed this would be a mediocre Big Hero 6 rip off. Hot damn I was wrong. It hits a lot of the same beats but is surprisingly mature in its storytelling. The animation and overall aesthetic was just sublime! I love the chemistry between the lead characters as well and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't blubbing towards the end. I went in expecting a campy mess but this flick packs one hell of an emotional gut punch.

Lets make Next Gen as if we were cooking Stir Fry Noodles. (Because noodles were in the film)
1) Heat up the frying pan and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Astro Boy.
2) Fry Blade Runner and Big Hero 6 together. Toss well and cook for 2 minutes.
3) Add in Wall-E. Scramble it, and mix with Big Hero 6 mixture.
4) Add in 1 tablespoon of i,Robot and mix well.
5) Transfer the mixed ingredients into a Netflix Contract.
6) Heat up the frying pan again, Add Robots and toss gently every minute and cook for 3 minutes.
7) Add in the step 6 mixture. Toss well. Do it gently so that you won't break up the charm…

Fun and a little different. Way better than anything animated I have seen in a while. Some parts were a little boring and hard to get through. And quite predictable but I have sadly grown to expect that from animation.

I'm not sure if I like this more than Big Hero 6 or not.
Review by Doug ★★★★

Derivative as you expect but Netflix nailed this one. Consistent and clean visual style that does not become overburdened with effects and allows the really solid production design to shine. This films is visually realized and the world created feels considered and purposeful.
The tale is a familiar one and doesn't really offer anything new. But where it goes far beyond the cliché animated kids film is two aspects. Firstly, the sound design. Tasteful use of music and song that launches at just the right moments, but the tone of the music choices is deep and layered and offers so much more to the narrative than the usual poppy and upbeat tracks we are accustomed to. This rhythmic theme sustains…

This is a Netflix Original that I again watched on Netflix.
I put this on to go to sleep to and watched more of it than I planned.
This is a good time.
Another single mom because the dad died or left.
The dog is great.

Review by Incorrect_name ★½

This movie is basically Big Hero 6 but if Hiro was an emo teenage criminal girl and if Baymax was an absolute and dangerous mass destruction weapon. Also if the villain was fucking Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5. (But not actually, I guessed that plot twist so yay me). The violence and mass murder of robots was kinda fun though.
But the character design is very typical....we've got the hundredth rebellious asian girl with neon streaks in animation.
The plot is the same 'humanity is crap that we see in every sci fi movie.....we know that, fuck !
