A teenage super-genius teams up with a fluffy medical robot and a group of uber-nerds to form a superhero team tasked with stopping a mysterious and powerful super-villain from causing carnage, Big Hero 6 is a Disney computer-animation extravaganza based on a Marvel comic-book.

With the story taking place in a beautifully rendered fictional hybrid east/west metropolis named “San Fransokyo”, clearly inspired by Ridley Scott’s vision of 2019 L.A. from Blade Runner, Disney’s visual ambition for Big Hero 6 manages to combine Japanese “Anime” with all the impressive visuals you would expect from your modern superhero blockbusters in an ultra-realistic environment.

The storyline is what you would expect from a movie of this genre, simple and grandiose but more than enough to keep the audience engaged with what is clearly an origin-story that will spawn many sequels, nevertheless it’s a celebration of science, innovation and geekiness.

Perhaps as impressive as the visuals are the quite sincerely touching moments that deal with the grief of loss, friendship and staying true to one self, when combined with the boundless comedy and action, Big Hero 6 has all the elements that made that other great Disney animation The Incredibles so successful while seamlessly straddling the line between family animation and superhero blockbuster.

With visuals and action as impressive as any superhero film we have seen and a major step in the evolution of animation, Big Hero 6 is a bucket of comedy/action joy and must-see fun for the whole family.
