Review of Big Hero 6 (2014) by Rox22 — 09 Jun 2015

If anything I really am not sure how to feel about this movie. But, I do know I enjoyed it.

Animation and visuals are just gorgeous. San Fransokyo is just breathtaking and I really wish they could have shown more of it. Near flawless design. Character models are also very good , but rhe pixar-anime kinda hybrid style I felt could have been utilized better. A shame as there was such massive potential for creativity.

Sound, music and voice acting all top notch. Nice that many of the voice actors weren't huge Hollywood names, kept the characters grounded in BH6 world.

Plot and writing is perhaps were I thought the movie suffered a little. While there is plenty of development for the leading characters, I did feel that there was far too little development for the supporting characters, who clearly are important enough to warrant it. The story is a bit cliche and has been done many times before, making it very predictable.

Overall:

Big Hero 6 is one of the few times where I would say it clearly needed another +30 minutes of screen time, just to add some much needed depth to the rest of the cast. However, despite my gripes, I still really, really enjoyed this movie.
