In cinemas November 7th in the USA and January 30th in the UK! From Walt Disney Animation studios comes ‘Big Hero 6’ and it is clear to see why this marvellous film has been nominated for an Oscar. Up for best animated feature film, Big Hero 6 is set in a futuristic city called San Fransokyo. We follow whizz-kid Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) who, when we first meet him, is wasting his gift on underground miniature robot fights. Convinced by his older brother Tedashi (Daniel Henny) to apply to his “nerd school” of robotics, Hiro invents telepathically controlled micro-bots with almost limitless potential to score himself a place. However after a terrible life changing accident leaves him grieving, he unintentionally activates and befriends the inflatable healthcare robot Baymax (Scott Adsit) created by Tedashi. Baymax takes it upon himself to fulfil what he was programmed to do and heal Hiro’s pain. So together with the uniquely bizarre and huggable robot, Hiro and his friends team up to discover what really happened and save the city from an evil supervillain who has stolen Hiro’s invention! A visually stunning film that expertly and seamlessly combines American Disney style animation with that of anime and Japanese culture, directors Don Hall and Chris Williams have created a masterpiece of visual effects and character/production design. It is a heart warming and emotional film that will not only make you weep but cry with laughter as well, because it is hilarious. Baymax is the ultimate source of comedy, he is adorable and completely oblivious to what is going on around him most of the time, which often leads to side splitting behaviour (especially when his batteries start to run low). However his care for Hiro and his need to fulfil his healthcare purpose create a huge attachment to Baymax. Even the data chip that is programmed with his personality is contained in a drive on the left side of his chest, so that you literally have to open his heart to change him. While the base morals and storyline of the film are nothing new, the way in which they are implemented and surrounded by such imaginative and fun characters makes up for it to the point where you’d barely notice. This animated mix of Disney and Marvel creates a force to be reckoned with and Baymax is certainly here to stay. A true family film that will appeal to pretty much everyone, of all ages, it is fun and packed full of action and adventure. A hero movie with a soft side, and one of the best animated films to come out in recent years!
