Big Hero 6 is the latest Disney animated feature, following in the trend of Frozen and Wreck It Ralph.

As the first animated film based off a Marvel property after Disney bought the rights in 2012, it takes place in San Fransokyo, a futuristic hybrid of San Francisco and Tokyo.

The main character is Hiro, who has a knack for building robots and technology. He soon gets admitted to an advanced robotics school by means of his advanced microbots. His brother Hidashi also attends this school, yet everything is not well for long, as a fire destroys the school and takes the life of Hidashi. This tragedy serves as the catalyst for Hiro to start forming a superhero team comprised of himself, his classmates, and Baymax. Baymax is a healthcare robot built by Hidashi; with some upgrades, he turns into a fighting machine.

Quite frankly, Baymax is the highlight of this film. He is funny, witty, and just plain entertaining to watch. Made of a strong metal skeleton, his exterior is a vinyl balloon which leads to many hijinks. The rest of the team is somewhat forgettable, but Baymax makes up for it.

In Hiro’s quest for revenge, a very predictable plot ensues with the villain being one note and noncompelling. However, the beautiful animation and Baymax make the trip fun and entertaining nonetheless. I really liked the design of San Fransokyo, as the Asian influence combined with futuristic technology made a unique setting.

As this is a Marvel film, there was a post credits scene which was amusing and unexpected. So, at the end of Big Hero 6, I had a very fun time and a lot of laughs and pleasure. Once again, Baymax makes this movie in the sense that he is by far the most memorable component.

The animation is very convincing, and the soundtrack is very good as well. Yet Big Hero 6 could not escape the feeling of a movie meant for the younger demographic, while Wreck It Ralph could be appreciated on a greater level. Now, there is nothing wrong with a kid’s movie being made for kids, but because of that, I did not leave the theater thinking about the meaning of life like I did one week earlier in Interstellar.

It seems that Big Hero 6 would be just as good at a SCOPE movie night, and for that reason, save your money for films of greater interest like Mockingjay.
