Get ready to fall in love and fist bump with the cutest plus-sized inflatable you'll ever meet this side of San Fransokyo in Walt Disney Animation Studios first release since the still popular FROZEN.
Inspired by Marvel's comic book series Big Hero 6, BIG HERO 6 is a colourful and highly entertaining anime sci-fi that will have even the most bored parents and escorts put their smartphones away and sit back transfixed.
Set in the bustling metropolis of San Fransokyo, the thematic tale of love and loss tells the story of orphaned brothers Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter) and Tadashi (voiced by Daniel Henney) Hamada whose shared love and prodigious talent for robotics leads them in different directions: Tadashi to design for the greater good and Hiro, to hustle for cash in underground robot fight clubs (a rousing homage to REAL STEEL).
In an attempt to inspire and encourage the disillusioned Hiro to attend university, Tadashi takes Hiro to his robotics laboratory at the university and introduces him to his robotic design project Baymax, a personal homecare companion that can identify and treat medical problems. Impressed by the technology designs created by Tadashi and his think-lab friends Honey Lemon, Go Go Tomago, Wasabi, and Fred, Hiro decides to modify his microbot design that links together telepathically in any arrangement imaginable and present it to the university which subsequently becoming a hit.
A terrible tragedy ensues that sends Hiro's life spiraling out of control until he accidentally activates Tadashi's Baymax (Scott Adsit). After a delightful re-introduction, Baymax and Hiro discover that the microbots were stolen and now controlled by an evil-doing masked man.
Seeking revenge, Hiro brings Baymax and Tadashi's nerdy think-tank friends together to form a group of techno-enhanced nerd avengers who can bring the kabuki-masked killer to justice.
Whilst BIG HERO 6 can be a bit clunky at times, the film's visual style is a clever mash up of anime and manga that just draws your attention further in to the field depths. But the real draw to this film is Baymax. Logical and literal, this character is both endearing and hilariously funny without meaning to be. He doesn't know how. And yet, maybe that's why it works so well and why you'll sit with bated breath waiting to see what he'll do or say next.
With this scan complete and on a scale of one to ten, the rate of painfully entertaining viewing sits at around a seven or eight.
