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)

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.

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.

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.

Very solid, but also very standard – Big Hero 6 is a precisely rendered product where nothing is left to chance. Action, humour and emotion alternate with mechanical precision, the dramaturgy follows a checklist and the ideas stay within the boundaries of being refreshing but never cross over into an area where it could have a sense of originality or even distinctiveness. It is simply Disney’s subordination of brand image, tellingly stated in the internal FIFO directive, which in this case doesn’t mean "first in, first out" but "fit in or fuck off" (that’s not a fabrication, but an eyewitness account). On the other hand, creativity certainly could not be expected from the result of the merger of Marvel and Disney. After the brilliant Frozen, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest production is a step away from the murky waters of ambition into the tried-and-true confines of comic-book adaptations. In the end, we can still be glad that this time the annoying pandering to fans was mostly limited to the post-credit sequence. Big Hero 6 heralds the standardised production from the Disney media conglomerate, which has set a course for world domination and, after the acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel Entertainment and Lucasarts, there is nothing standing in its way.

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%
