Review of Big Hero 6 (2014) by Leon B — 29 May 2015

Review:

I really enjoyed this movie! It's got something for the whole family and the different characters and great animation, added to this very well put together movie. Its about a little boy called Hiro whose a technology geek along with his brother who builds a huge marshmallow type robot to cure human beings when there not well. After sadly losing his brother to a massive fire, Hiro goes into depression and seeks answers to why the fire really happened. He then uses the robot (Baymax) and his new geeky college friends to get to the bottom of how he lost his brother and he finds out that it's all due to a chemical that he had made, which gets into the wrong hands. There's fast action throughout the movie, with comedy and some emotional moments. The different geeks in the squad, all brought great elements to the group and Haymax made me laugh. The vibrant colours and great animation also made this Disney spectacular, a joy to watch and I can truly understand why it made such a profit at the box office. Its not very often that I have watched an animation movie that has something for adults as well as the little kiddies so this movie definitely gets the thumbs up from me. Enjoyable!

Round-Up:

Disney have really stepped up there movies lately with movies like Brave, Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph but they have still brought out some duds like the Princess and the Frog, Tarzan and the awful Planes: Fire & Rescue movie. Now that Marvel have moved to Disney, they have really smashed the box office, which is what keeps the big executives in Hollywood begging for more. With Frozen and the Avengers franchise making over a billion dollars, Disney have really come back with a bang and I'm sure that this movie will be reaching the billion dollar mark soon. I just hope that they don't ruin this great concept with a awful sequel! Anyway, I didn't hear any familiar voices throughout the film, so I can't really comment on that but the mannerisms and face expressions of the characters were brilliant, even though Baymax didn't have a mouth or a nose. The main character, Hiro, had some anime traits which I have seen in some of the old classics like Akira and the Ghost in the Shell and the movement of the microbots brought a dark flavour to this happy go lucky movie. .

Budget: $165million.

Worldwide Gross: $652.1million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their animation movies about a squad of geeks who want to take down a masked, evil-doer who has stolen the geeks chemicals to work against them. 8/10.
