Big Hero 6

In a world where Japan won the Second World War (it really reminded me of Dick’s The Man in the High Castle), robotics are very advanced, the world is prospering and everything is sort of fine. Disney has come up with a great watch for kids in Incredibles style with an admixture of Stark Industries and they got me. There is a strong comic book element, but the creators work within the bounds of an intelligent kids viewing. Of course, Baymax is awesome and, even though the other characters are basically superfluous frills, nobody has time to notice. An entertaining tearjerker. Balalala. (01/13/2015)

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)

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 whole time I was watching the movie I kept thinking whether the movie was actually for kids. One boy dies, everybody speaks in a super bad-ass way and then I realized that todayʼs kids are probably different; I am not excusing the death but the bad-ass language. It was all based on these two points and I have to admit that the only cute thing was the inflatable robot and that’s before he learned kung-fu and before the Japanese genius put him in the aluminum suit. At the same time, I don’t think I really laughed watching this, especially when compared to Zootopia, for example. So, even though Big Hero 6 is not a bad cartoon, there is still a lot of negatives that bumped the final score down to three stars. (01/16/2017)

It's been a long time since I've given out four five-star ratings in one week, but Big Hero 6 is guilty pleasure as fuck and every guy's wet dream!! The visuals are incredibly good and at times I felt like I wasn't watching an animated film. All the high tech awesomeness was a joy to watch and I wouldn't have minded if the whole movie had been about robot wrestling, but even the Avengers choice was welcome with a villain that even Marvel wouldn't be ashamed of. All the good characters are likeable and I want Baymax at home! The awesome quips from Fred are pretty cool as well. Perfect entertainment that is both touching and twisted! 90% (02/23/2017)
