Big Hero 6: Movie Review

Disney has finally used the first of their Marvel properties they plan on using, and it is Big Hero 6. It takes place in a fictional hybrid city of San Francisco and Tokyo, cleverly named San Fransokyo. When complications arise, Hiro (our protagonist) must gather a robot and his collective friends to get together to fight someone who betrayed his family.

The animation in this film was very good. It looked very classic Disney at times but had the overtone of a new age animation style which I found to be really sleek. The city design was also quite amazing. The combination of the two cities oddly works perfectly, and makes for some great landscapes in the film.

This film had me laughing a lot. Which is probably the best thing I can say about it. There were several characters who just worked so perfectly and had great chemistry together especially since they were animated characters. The show was often stole by the widely advertised Baymax character, who was often funny not by the dialogue he had, but by his actions.

Although I really enjoyed this film, there were still a few problems I had with it. One being that it felt as though the characters did not receive enough development. One scene characters are introduced and in the next one they are being referred to as the main characters best friends, it just seemed as though it happened incredibly quick, and it just didn't seem right. Also, many of the happenings towards the end have become very cliche as of late. Especially the final battle scene, it seemed like it was an exact copy, but kiddie-d down, version of the final battle in The Avengers.

With that said, I really did like this movie. Disney seems to be on a real hot streak lately, and I am very glad for that. I encourage anyone, especially people with kids, or people into kids movies (I guess) to go see it!
