Good Heroes, Good Times

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

The review: The final product here is another creative, entertaining animated family adventure from this studio. There is humor, action, character empathy and development, some great animation, and some great heart. The initial surface estimation is pretty much what you get, but that's not a necessarily a bad thing. Hero's brother has been looking out for him ever since their parents died long ago. Hero is going to turn his life around and his brother dies in a tragic explosion. When Hero learns who is behind the explosion he and others are tasked with stopping the culprit and bringing them to justice. So not a LOT of twists and turns here, but the ride is fun. The characters are amusing. Although Hero and the team are just a bunch of college students, they come together as a family and are there for Hero when he has nothing else. What I did not LOVE about it was the notion that these smart kids were able to put on some gadgets and sail through the air stopping crime. When Hero's brother dies so quickly and realistically, many other parts of this movie are far-fetched. After getting past that and just trying to enjoy the movie, it is difficult to do anything but that. Baymax is also a very fluffy, enjoyable main character and brings a lot of robotic heart to the movie.
