Big Hero 6

Avengers meets StarGate in a Disney animated version. In some places, the film quotes scenes of other films so blatantly (e.g. Iron Man at the end of Avengers and Hiro at the end of Big Hero 6) that it can no longer be considered a rip-off, but rather a spoof. I’m sure there’ll be people bothered by the overall lack of originality and creativity, I can see them already, but that doesn’t bother me much in animated films. It’s cute, entertaining, funny, even a little emotional, which is enough for an animated comic-book fairy-tale. (01/14/2015)

I had some suspicion that it could be a good animated movie, and that suspicion ended up being confirmed. Besides the fact that there are actually superheroes in it, it is wonderfully action-packed, there are inventions and robots, and especially one specific robotic caretaker. Thanks to these characters, the film is incredibly entertaining, not to mention how amazing the animation is at times. Disney did it again. (01/14/2015)

The 54th Disney Feature Film or mice and their version of Marvel comics. Big Hero 6 is set in San Fransokyo, a futuristic combination of San Francisco and Tokyo. While I never thought Disney would be able to grapple with the kind of substance that the "Sunfire & Big Hero 6" comic book series offered, it became nearly impossible. Traditional values and a classic coming-of-age story reimagined to fit perfectly into the current "Disney Revival" era. Every minute is worked out to the smallest detail, and you can’t help but root for the main cast almost immediately. Yet the very best element of the whole film is of course the robot Baymax, which every child would like to have in their room. Luckily for the oldest fans, there's also the series, which naturally picks up where the film leaves off. (10/01/2019)

Better than Captain America :))) The story of Big Hero Six doesn’t bother with new themes or new ways to devastate New York, its mission is to cleverly recycle old motifs, adding wit and possibly adapting them to a younger audience. The film is thus full of hidden or surprising references, direct or slightly adapted quotes from live-action comics adaptations, and finally, likeable characters who manage to perfectly combine Marvel with pure Disney antics. The climax is dull and the second half doesn't have as many jokes and surprises as the first, but it's still a very cool affair, definitely better than the second Despicable Me. 80% (03/01/2015)

After the Oscars, I couldn't miss the Big Hero 6, so I headed to the cinema to see if the golden statue had landed in the right hands. Personally, I would have handed the Academy Award to How to Train Your Dragon 2, but Big Hero 6 is also an above average film that is both funny poignant and action-packed, something that many of today's animated films that are only aimed at younger audiences sadly lack. I liked the animation and the idea of an Asian version of San Francisco, which also had its own charm. Baymax the robot is an incredibly cute character who won me over right away, as did the other characters in the gang of young scientists. All in all, a quality and well-made animated film that perhaps pushes the envelope a bit too much at times in terms of lessons for the young ones, but it still impressed me a lot and is deserving of the rating.
