Big Hero 6 was whimsical and wonderful and an absolute joy to watch. I've long grown out of kids' movies, so I stepped into the theatre with a cynical mindset and very low expectations, especially considering the recent animated movies Disney has put out- but it blew me away! It's gratifying to see that the entertainment industry is still capable of a feminist, racially diverse, culturally respectful movie that's all-around sweet, heartwarming, tear-jerking and funny, complete with humour that's neither crude, clichéd, degrading nor disrespectful towards any gender or race, and highlights familial love and friendship instead of the classic romance. It has has singlehandedly restored my faith in animated movies (and Disney). Kudos to Disney and may they keep producing animated movies of this quality.
