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 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.

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.

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.
