Big Hero 6 marks Disney’s foray as far as super hero
animation films are concerned. Inspired
by the super hero team of the same name of Marvel comics it is one of the most
entertaining animation film we have seen in a while.
The story of most animation films has become very routine
now and many are also pedestrian in their story telling. But Big Hero 6 manages
to score on both the counts – the story is different and engaging. Moreover, it
also caters to all the age groups.
Set in a city called San Fransokyo (a cross between San
Francisco and Tokyo) Hiro Hamada (voice of Scott Adsit) is a young boy who is
also a whiz kid when it comes to Robotics. Much against his aunts and his brother
Tadashi’s wishes, he participates in underground robot fights.
Tadashi himself is a genius of sorts, he has created a
‘personal healthcare assistant’ robot Baymax (Ryan Potter). Hiro invents
‘microbots’ which impresses many people but Hiro’s enthusiasm is cut short by
an accident which leads to a personal tragedy.
One day, he activates Baymax and the two make a splendid team. They
discover that there was some foul play involved in the tragedy and to get to
the bottom of it they are able supported by Tadashi's friends GoGo, Tomago,
Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred.
The film has a few laugh out loud moments thanks to Hiro and
his interaction with Baymax. It is fair to say that the latter is the primary
cause for entertainment.There are a couple of scenes (like the one involving Baymax
and Hiro flying over the city) which look stretched, but otherwise the
screenplay is tight.
The animation is nothing spectacular but the film makers
have focused on the more important aspect which is a good story. All in all Big Hero 6 is a delightful film.
