Entertaining and Compelling

Big Hero 6 is a movie I could have easily missed, luckily for me I had the opportunity to see it when it went on general release. This is easily my favourite Disney 3D animated movie. The title character Hero Hamada has such an Interesting character arc, it's wonderful to see how his character shifts and changes throughout the story. His motivations are always clear and he doesn't stray away from them, that's so nice to see in a movie with the target demographic of children. Baymax as a character works really well bring out emotions in Hero and the writers know how to use this very well. He also has great comedic timing, he's genuinely very funny. The relationship that builds between Hero and Baymax becomes very compelling, you really care about the situation. The other characters on the team are a lot of fun but this movie is very much about Hero. The structure of this movie is quite strange, when you think about it it can be defined in 5 acts. I think this is interesting and refreshing to see, especially in an animated film. I'm a big fan and would reccomend this film to anyone
