The Kind of Humour We've all been Waiting for

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2014)

The movie Big Hero 6 is a sweet film that packs lots of humour and some quick life lessons in less than two hours. The quirky humour from Baymax's cumbersome body never ceases to make people laugh, that being the core of the film itself. Even though the plot was quite predictable, it is a good film that you can just relax to and enjoy without having to think too much.
It, being the quirky-ness of Baymax, made the character extremely relatable as we have all had moments like he has. For instance, when he squeezes by the bed and knocks over some of the books or when he is so easily distracted from what he was doing and goes to try to watch the TV with Hiro's mother. Another scene being when Baymax turns himself into a portable heating unit that everyone then lies against.
The humour is quick and simple as to keep its audience entertained and amused as most comedians do whilst doing stand-up. For instance, take the scene where Hiro discovers that Baymax is in his room. First Baymax, being a robot that is designed to be "your personal health-care companion", inflates and his sheer size automatically becomes a handicap, as he isn't able to get to Hiro because there is a tight space between the bed and the table. Right after, Baymax is assessing Hiro having barely hurt himself just because he said the word "Ow!" Hiro falls backwards as Baymax tries to help him but then ends up having a shelf-worth of figurines fall onto him making him repeat the word "Ow!" a couple of times and Baymax responding each time with the same interrupted sentence "On a scale of one to "
Along with the "Captain Obvious" humour that is randomly thrown into the movie by the other characters. Especially in the case of Fred, the wannabe hero, who appears to be a young infant in an adult's body.
This movie was a great catch, because it took a normal kid's everyday life and threw in a couple of accidents and funny situations, which happens to everyone on a regular basis. What makes it funny is we are literally on the other side watching it happen to someone else and not ourselves.
However, with all this humour there was still some space to subtly squeeze in, as Baymax so skillfully showed us, a couple of life lessons. In regards to whether it is worth your time going for higher studies, as well as not accidentally putting your own interest before others'.
Overall, fun movie to watch with the family and have a good laugh all together.
