Enjoyable kids movie

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2016)

There is a fuzzy dividing line between cartoons for kids and cartoons for all ages and Big Hero 6 trends a little ways into cartoons for kids, although not so much it's not fun for adults. The animation is quite well done, there are plenty of fun moments, and Baymax is a pretty solid creation.
At the same time, the story isn't especially original, the film has cookie-cutter characters, there are small plot issues throughout, and the animation has that too-big too-quick style that I often see in kids-focused movies.
It seems strange this won an Oscar; if the animated films I saw that year I would have given it to How to Train Your Dragon 2. But it's fun, overall.
