Big Hero Six

This review may contain spoilers!

Big Hero Six is the pinnacle of modern animated films just in design alone, not to mention the incredible story, cast and score. I would give Big Hero Six a 9/10.

Big Hero Six has a fantastic story in which a young boy bonds with a robot and creates a superhero team after the death of his brother, the intense story about coping with loss is just something else and has made Big Hero Six one of the best modern Disney stories to date. The pacing was really good and there was some brilliant comedy in there. I also have to rave about the animation; the attention to detail and the beauty of the environment of the city was something otherworldly. The music in this film was also great, a powerful song and a great original song by Fall Out Boy.

Scott Adsit, who voiced Baymax, had the pleasure of being one of the most loved characters of the year; I really enjoyed Baymax for his comedy and his emotional tie to Hiro. Ryan Potter, who voiced Hiro, was a fantastic leading role with a lot of depth; the amount of emotion the voice actor had to put into this role was incredible. Daniel Henney, who voiced Tadashi, was an incredible role model figure; his death within the film really hit hard and was a Mufasa like moment. T.J. Miller, who voiced Fred, was one of the funnier characters within the film; his superhero references make him an instant favourite of mine. Damon Wayan Jr., who voiced Wasabi, was a great character; his nervous attitude mixed with his amazing powers made him very fun to watch onscreen. Genesis Rodriguez. who played Honey Lemon, was a bubbly fun character; her exuberant attitude really brightened the dynamic of the team within the story. James Cromwell, who played Robert Callaghan, was a terrific villain within the film; his contrasting qualities to Hiro was nothing short of some great writing.

This film is the kind of film that makes it hard to pick a favourite character as they're all so likeable. My favourite by no means will be the same as someone else's. However I loved Jamie Chung, who voiced Go Go. This particular character had a rough attitude with a strong display of what was possibly the best superhero in the film. I liked her for her ability to take the spotlight in action sequences.

My only read problem with the film was how predictable it was, which isn't much of a gripe for a kid's film.

Alan Tudyk, who voiced Alistair Krei, was a really minor and uninteresting character; his reveal for not being the villain was highly predictable as well. Maya Rudolph, who voiced Cass, was over the top to the point where she had stopped being funny and had instead become loud.
