Best Animated Robot Movie Since The Iron Giant

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2014)

Big Hero 6 is a fantastically brilliant movie that combines fun, great visuals, and an engaging story into what may be the best animated movie from Disney studios since Lion King.
Giant red herrings and a weak climactic scene aside (and the predictable and confusing cop-out death of our favorite character), it's just a fun ride the whole way there. Be careful when bringing really little ones, as there's a scene where Baymax goes on a rampage, and it's really scary as an adult to see that kind of unfettered emotional rage - so for a child it must be terrifying. Still that's why this movie works. It develops its characters and doesn't pull punches from real emotional engagement.
It's not as good from start to finish as The Iron Giant, but it's peaks are just as high, particularly for humor. If you don't laugh at the fist bump scene, you have no soul.
Great follow up to Wreck-it Ralph, Disney needs to stay the course on these.
