The fact that this is a superhero movie with an adorable robot that kicks ass is, for me, already worth the price of admission. :) But of course, it's more than just that. Visually, the animation is amazing. (Side note: I love how a fictional city named San Fransokyo served as the setting.) Story-wise, it's a perfect blend of action, fun and laughs, and touching and even heartbreaking moments. As expected, the character development is done brilliantly. I don't know how Disney (and Pixar) do this miles better than other animation studios but when you watch their films, you get emotionally invested in the lead characters and you care what happens to them.
It was wonderful and heartwarming to see how the bond between Hiro Hamada and his brother Tadashi strengthens through their common interest and skill in advanced robotics. Then of course there's Baymax. He is animated in a way that makes audiences fall in love with him and his viewer appeal is further heightened by his amazing loyalty to his friends as well as his original design purpose. On top of all this, it was really cool to see how the scientific experiments and developments of the science students would later on become the advanced weaponry of Big Hero 6. Seeing their dynamic as a superhero squad evolve throughout the course of the movie is really fun to watch.
It's really interesting how two of my favorite superhero movies - Big Hero 6 and The Incredibles - are both animated and from Disney (or well, The Incredibles was produced by Disney-Pixar). Big Hero 6 is a five-star, two thumbs up film that is certainly worth watching. I am definitely getting the DVD of this when it's out. And who knows, maybe I'll watch it again in the movie theater. We'll see. :)
