An action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada. When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. Determined to uncover the mystery, Hiro transforms his friends into a band of high-tech heroes called "Big Hero 6." (Walt Disney US)

I had a suspicion that it could be a good anime, and that suspicion eventually proved to be true. Besides the fact that there are actually superheroes here, it's brilliantly action-packed. We get inventions, robots, and above all, one specific robotic caregiver. The characters make the film incredibly entertaining, not to mention how great the animation is in places. It’s Disney doing its thing once again.

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%

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.

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.

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.
