Justin and I saw Big Hero 6 on November 7, 2014!! This is easily in my Top 5 favorite computer animated movies with the other four being Wreck-It Ralph, Mega-Mind, Frozen, and Toy Story. I would say this movie has something for everyone. It's definitely a more emotional animated movie, and I honestly really enjoy that aspect of these movies. It makes the movie seem more realistic. Everybody can feel a connection to a character in that way.
Big Hero 6 focuses primarily on innovation and never giving up. The big theme centers around the importance of family (especially seen in the amazing bond between young Hero & his older brother Tadashi Hamada). They've had an interesting life being raised by their aunt, but they both are successful in many ways. They're both extremely intelligent. The movie also exemplifies the importance of friends. You always need a good group of people in your corner, especially when things get tough. This movie exhibits how tough things can get, but there's always somebody there to cheer you up, or help you out. Another great look at friendship is seen through Tadashi's creation: Baymax. Baymax is one of the most entertaining characters ever created. It's innocence is so amazing. Even though Baymax is technically a robot, it exhibits core human emotions, so watching him bond with Hero is a really special experience. The creators did really well displaying the different interactions between Hero, Tadashi, Tadashi's friends, and Baymax.
This movie also exhibits great action & drama. The drama that we see in the first part of the movie really crescendos into the amazing action sequences we see towards the middle & end of the movie. The huge event that takes place at the beginning opens up Hero's creativity & motivates him to keep on pushing. Through the bonds he forms with those around him, Hero is able to create an exciting group of superheroes. Watching the different character designs and super powers was very intriguing. This movie just had a constant flow to it. Everything is a building block in this movie to show Hero's true potential, as well as sending a message it's okay to need help sometimes.
This movie truly deserves a 5/5 for it's amazing animation, well created characters, incredibly emotional story, and intricate action sequences. It's a winding staircase leading to a fun adventure for both children and adults. All ages will appreciate this movie. What I like about this and recent animated movies is creators appealing to wider audiences. They're not just speaking to one demographic anymore, and it's created much more intricate and exciting animated movies. This movie is extremely good and certainly deserves to be on the nominees list for Best Animated Movie at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars. It most likely will be on the list considering Disney usually garners nominations (and rightfully so).
