An excellent story- a fresh take on an old theme

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2014)

First, let me preface this with the statement that I have found virtually every Disney film in existence distasteful. (Sappy characters, flimsy plots, and mushy dialog are my primary reasons for this.)
Big Hero Six is a very different film, especially for Disney. There are realistic characters, character development, and an engaging plot. (I mean it about the plot- there are real twists (very unlike something like, say, 101 Dalmations).)
The emphasis on technology, science, and Maker culture in particular were all aspects of the film I enjoyed. There was also a significant amount of research involved in the film (from what I can tell)- there were some details that they really didn't need to put in there, but did just to impress people who would get it. (Adding supports to a curved 3D-printed object (in a shot that lasted a fraction of a second) would be the most obvious example.)
Anyway, I liked it. According to the Peter Principle, Disney will milk this franchise to death, but this was a film that I engaged in. Film was family-friendly, and will probably help give some kids out there a "I wanna do science" mentality.
