Big Hero 6


Oh, No. Beware families! Disney is releasing another movie right around the time that they released Frozen last year!!! That was pretty much my thought when I saw the first teaser trailer for Big Hero 6. I loved Wreck It Ralph. I thought I liked Frozen (that definitely changed). And I will say right now that Big Hero 6 is better than both of those movies....yeah, I said it. 
Big Hero 6 (film) poster.jpgThe Bullet points: San Fransokyo. A dark alley, late at night. Hiro Hamada, boy genius, illegally bets on Bot Fights. No robot can match his simple machine. After being caught by the police and failing to learn his lesson, his older brother Tadashi decides to give him new direction and takes him to Tadashi's college. A college that is made up of nerd genius's who experiment on the cutting edge of science. Who, as Professor Callaghan says, will change the world. It works and Hiro is determined to get into the school and begin his own inventing and discovering. As one character observes: "Our origin story begins!" 

Big Hero 6 is not just another Disney movie. It also isn't just another Marvel universe starter. Both influences are noticeable but this is Disney with more bite and higher stakes, It's Marvel with an actual heart. The best way I can describe it is, this is Disney's answer to Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon...and I mean that as an enormous compliment. If animated movies like these keep getting made then maybe we can all finally let Frozen go.  A  (Hairy Baby!)
