Baymax is an Adorable and Lovable Character - Best Animation of the Year

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2014)

With the huge success of Wreck-it Ralph and Frozen, the mouse house seems to know that an animation production will only work if the theme, culture and background are connected to the modern lifestyle of the society. Although it feels like the plot itself lacks some originality and a bit formulated with easily predictable twisted climax, the combination of bouncy actions and motions, amusing development in between the cool characters, usual family, love and certain emotional-driven moments and colorful 3D visual effects are brilliantly enough to allow kids to enjoy, but this Marvel's adaptation seems to aim at the older teens and adults. It is a little bit transformeric and Bayish-style by starting off with some familiar scenes in "Real Steel" and having electronic pop-rock style scores from the composer Henry Jackman. However, setting in a background of American-Japanese culture might lead to the thought of targeting Japan's market after enormous profit from there, but this adorable, kind-hearted, friendly robot Baymax reminds us of good moral values, and certainly, it will easily be one of the most lovable character among the audiences.
