Better than The Lego Movie? Than How To Train Your Dragon 2? Nope

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2015)

Congrats Academy, you chose the best animated picture of 2014 over 2 clearly better movies (The Lego Movie not even being nominated).
With great recent movies like Wreck It Ralph and Frozen (people either love or hate the latter), Disney Animation produced a let- down film with Big Hero 6. It is an extremely simple film, cheesy at times, jokes that don't quite hit home - you know, typical Disney.
While a shorter runtime usually condenses a movie into an acceptable story that is not too long, I feel like this film needed more content. I'm not sure what I would recommend for the story to extend it, but there are definitely parts of this film that are rushed. Take Callaghan's turn to evil - we learn that his daughter is the one who became a victim of an accident in a matter of seconds, forcing upon the audience the motivation for Callaghan's actions without much thought to it.
I am not surprised this was not a great Disney Animation film since many of my friends were shocked that it took the Oscar over How to Train Your Dragon 2. I now understand the frustration. While enveloping us in a universe of awesome and easily adaptable technology, this movie falls just a little flat of wondrous.
