Watch out for Stan

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2019)

It starts off with young Hiro Hamada taking part in underground robot parts in San Fransokyo. Hiro's brother Tadashi wants him to do something useful and get away from the lowlifes involved in the robot fights.
Hiro is introduced to a giant medical robot Baymax that Tadashi is developing at university and is introduced to Professor Callaghan, the head of robotics. Hiro creates microbots that he brings to a science fair to impress the professor and enrol at the university. A shady businessman is interested in buying the micropbots off Hiro.
When a fire erupts at the science fair Tadashi dies trying to save the professor. Some time later Hiro, Baymax and a solitary microbot battles with a masked man who made a copy of the microbots. Hiro suspects that the fire may had been started deliberately in order to steal the microbots.
Hiro teams up with a group of clever students who were friends with his brother and they use their skills to become superheroes to stop the masked man.
Big Hero 6 is based on a Marvel Comic character. It blends its animation style with Japanese Anime. Kids will lap it up, Baymax who looks a bit like the Michelin Man is the moral heart of the story as he drums an anti violence message to Hiro.
However this is another Disney animation that almost seems like by the numbers with the predictable twist when it comes to the reveal of the villain.
