Review of Big Hero 6 (2014) by Jekspacey — 09 Apr 2015

Yet another very welcome surprise this new product Disney.

After a film like "Frozen", which has virtually split audiences and critics (I am among those who have worshiped), maybe Disney will be able to put all of them agree with this great animated film based on a Marvel comic (unknown, perhaps, even the most avid readers).

"Big Hero 6" has all the ingredients that a good animated film should have, even the most trivial, from the typical disney comedy, the good feelings, but also a hidden ingredient, which can be enjoyed with the death of brother Hiro, not that death was never present in the Disney movie, as someone said, in my opinion, wrong (I could mention "Bambi," "The Lion King" and the underrated "Brother Bear"), but surely has never been so close to us, considering that the films I mentioned have starring animals.

Among other things, I found very interesting all the joint narrative following the death of Tadashi, with its dense network of intricate mysteries, including characterization of Hiro, who has been criticized for being too thin and empty, but that I think is in this dimension of empty his strong point. Sorry but I want it to be characterized as a poor boy who has lost everything?

Also good characterization of the secondary characters, from tender Baymax, who with his ingenuity by robots will reflect the same Hiro on the choices of his life, Hiro's nerd friends, which will help to catch the man with the mask which kabuki stole his microbot, the amiable aunt Cass.

Too bad for the fall style with the ultimate sacrifice of Baymax (for charity, definitely exciting and intense, but foregone) and the unveiling of 'identity of the man with the mask, under which lurked prof. Callaghan.

Although this choice is not entirely wrong, because they actually are the clues that gives the film to assume that there is him under the mask, but it is the reason why steals microbot and becomes a sort of super villain (I must admit, very well developed aesthetically) that fails to fully convince.

Probably, without these defects that, in spite of myself, I could not stand up, I would have considered "Big Hero 6" a masterpiece in every respect.

For the rest of the fun is guaranteed, the rhythm flows perfectly and the characters will entertain you but also warm your heart.
