Unusually for a geek, "Hiro" is also quite a switched on, charismatic, character who goes to a science fair with his big brother "Tadashi" armed with a game-changing "micro bot". You just have to think what you want it to do and it can replicate itself, make shapes, move - the applications are endless. Milionaire "Krei" offers to buy it there and then but another scientist "Callaghan" (reminded me of Sir Ben Kingsley) tells the lad that he is just after it for the money. Anyway, "Hiro" decides not to sell and tragedy very prompt ensues. That leaves him alone with only his brother's recently developed nursemaid robot "Beymax" (imagine the love child of Bibendum and the Snowman). "Beymax" is quite a sophisticated fellow and can tell our hero is unhappy - but nowhere near as unhappy as he is going to be when his "micro bot' chip flies off to join loads of others. Where have they all come from and who is behind this? His friends are also concerned about him, and they are no slouches either so they ally with their pal, his newly enhanced "Iron-Man" style android and battle with their masked foe is joined. I enjoyed this. There are loads of characterisations, plenty of action and the animations are original. There's room for some humour in the writing that also delivers an underlying premiss of understanding and of loyalty to your friends and although the story does become a little contrived at the end, this is a fun story that avoids the standard repetitive combat scenarios and has, across the board, an engaging human element to it.

Cool animated superhero film, one that I think is good. There are moments I like about <em>'Big Hero 6'</em> and moments I don't like quite as much. I'll start with the positive parts. The animation is excellent, as is the music (nice song from Fall Out Boy). It also has a fair amount of heart, not as much as the film intends to add but still more than most. Now for the lesser things; that aren't bad per se, just not as well done in my opinion. The plot doesn't feel like anything too refreshing, I feel it's a story I've mostly seen elsewhere; in a few areas it kinda reminded me of the sorta stuff you'd see in a Scooby Doo episode, at least in terms of the twists and/or antagonists. I, also, don't love the design for Baymax - making a character with no facial expressions or true emotion always makes it harder to get attached to them. I do like his purpose, mind. As for the cast, they're decent just not memorable to me. Ryan Potter and Daniel Henney are solid as Hiro and Tadashi, I enjoy their bond together. I'm struggling to remember any of the others though. All in all, a good film - it's just missing a couple of things that would've made it greater.

Smartness overload! The technology and talents of all the characters were beyond my comprehension. GENIUS!

ADORABLE! How could a giant white robot with an expressionless face make someone feel better? Sometimes, presence is all that matters.

This movie taught me the essence of confidence and perseverance. If you put your heart and mind into something, things are possible.

Tadashi was a brother I never had. He's been a very important character in this movie, and it was so smart of him to build Baymax.
