Captures the best of both the Disney and Marvel worlds

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2015)

Big Hero 6 is a Walt Disney Studios animated film made in partnership with Marvel, based on the comic of the same name. I very much enjoyed it. I'll admit the trailers didn't really impress me all that much but to be fair this is a difficult film to make a trailer for. It really felt like it captured the best of both the Disney and Marvel worlds.
Set in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo (San Francisco and Tokyo combined), 14 year old Hiro Hamada is a robotics genius who forms a team of superheroes to combat a masked supervillain from causing destruction. Aiding Hiro and his fellow heroes is the lovable robot Baymax, built by his older brother for personal healthcare and companionship.
There was so much going on in this world the film has created. San Fransokyo felt alive and like a realistic city. Hiro is a likable protagonist and Baymax is such a fun character as well. He reminded me a bit of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, albeit, with a wider vocabulary than just saying who he is. This film also features probably my favourite Stan Lee cameo of all time.
I rate it 8.5/10. Taking into account the Marvel side of the film, there is a post-credits sequence to stay back for.
