Big Hero 6 is a Disney film true to its core. All of the original Disney themes are present: loss, redemption, friends and family are number one etc etc. Its very essence broadens our senses. The world in which the protagonist, Hiro, lives in is rich and vibrant, a world with so much detail it strengthens our sense of disbelief. Centered around two, loveable characters, BH6 finds Hiro bonding with his brother's inflatable robot, Baymax, whose main purpose is to treat medical conditions. With the help of their new friends, Hiro and Baymax track down the person who stole Hiro's new invention. His four friends are sweet, their different personalities bouncing off each other with cheeky satire. Hiro and Baymax's innocence make them straightforward and easy to care for; the youngster seeks revenge whereas Baymax's best interest is Hiro's health, and will do what he can to make him feel better. BH6 sets the tone right depending on the situation, and not one point does it falter. Adults may enjoy this film more than the young audience it is aimed at.

4.5/5
