A wonderful film about friendship and science.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2016)

I was compelled to post here, as I read a few reviews praising this film which mentioned negative reviews on IMDb. Well, I've just been scrolling through all the reviews and couldn't find one lower than 7/10. It's utterly heartwarming to see such a wonderful movie receive almost unanimous praise. I won't go into massive detail about the film as others have already done so, but I found Big Hero 6 absolutely delightful; funny, emotional, exciting, and just dark enough when it needed to be. I've not cried at a film as much since, perhaps, the French movie Intouchable (also about friendship). My only tiny, niggling complaint is that I'd liked to have seen the other characters get more screen time and interaction, but I'm sure that'll happen in the sequel. Nevertheless, this is quite possibly one of my favourite films of recent years, and completely deserving of all accolades.
