Big Hero 6

MPAA Rating: PG for action and peril, some rude humor, and thematic elements.
Run Time: 102 minutes
My Rating: 5/5
So last night my wife and I went and saw Walt Disney Studios' Big Hero 6 starring the voice talents of Scott Adsit (30 Rock), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids), and Damon Wayans Jr. (New Girl).  The film tells to the story of Hiro Hamada, a science prodigy, and Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot.  When tragedy befalls both of them and a new evil rises in their town of San Fransokyo they must work together along with their friends to save the city.  In doing so Hiro transforms this group of science-nerds into a band of high-tech heroes called Big Hero 6.
This film was absolutely amazing and is definitely what we have come to expect from Walt Disney Studios.  This film had emotion, comedy, and action.  It's true glory comes from the relationship between Hiro and Baymax.  These two come together through unwanted circumstances, but the bond that forms between the two of them is extraordinary  It shows all audiences the power of true friendship.  By the end the film everyone will want to have a friendship like Baymax and Hiro.
Baymax is really what sends the film to new heights.  I guarantee that come this holiday season all kids will want a Baymax toy in their stocking.  He provides all the comedy and the hilarity throughout the entire film.  Besides Baymax though, the other characters are just as memorable and if you wait through the end credits you see just how special one of the characters is.
Another thing I loved about the film was that it was truly geared towards all audiences.  Throughout the entire film parents and children were laughing, crying, and enjoying the product that was shown before them.  This truly is a film for the whole family to enjoy and no one will walk out of the theater unhappy about what they saw.  There honestly is so much to like about this film that it is hard to describe how good it actually is.  This to me is by far the greatest animated movie of the year.
The only real negative I saw in the film is that the tone between the first half and the second half is completely different, but overall Disney does a great job at easing into that transition and still making both parts enjoyable.
If you haven't been able to tell, I love this film.  When I walked out of the theater I wanted to buy tickets and go see it again that night.  This is a movie that everyone should see.  I promise you will not be disappointed.
