BIG HERO 6: A kid's film, for adults! [3.5/5]

Animation flicks were never really on my list of favorites. No offence to the hardcore lovers but for a genre itself, I don’t find myself very fascinated about it! So I had just one title as the exception [The tremendously endearing & emotional WALL.E] until I happened to push myself for Disney’s BIG HERO 6. And now I have got the second to accompany WALL.E! BIG HERO 6 is a heartwarming, entertaining, engaging and completely enjoyable ride even adults will love in equal measures like kids do.

And by the way, what’s with these lesser known superhero comic-characters? First, James Gunn’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and now Don Hall-Chris Williams’ BIG HERO 6! Being a complete stranger to your knowledge & anticipatory mental mechanism, they come fearlessly, keep it low, act smartly and win your hearts marginally with their simpleton but relatable multicolored individualities. This time, it is a giant, pliable and soft from inside and outside robot named Baymax designed for healthcare assistance. Baymax goes through severe upgrading procedure after his creator gets killed in an unfortunate accident and his new possessor-cum-friend is Hiro- the younger brother and a sharp mind in robotics who wants the retribution at any price.

Despite being a visible victim of ‘not so surprising’ regular storyline, BIG HERO 6 works extremely fine just because it finds its heart in the right place and a superhero armed with complete compassion, warmth & love for mankind. Baymax can fly real high with blazing flames at the other end just as good as Tony Stark’s robotic suit does in IRON MAN. Baymax can punch a huge hole in the wall with force equally relative to Hulk’s in THE AVENGERS but what make him totally amiable are his simplicity, cuteness and delightful presence. He can make your heart bleed too but that’s something you should uncover while watching it.

And then, there is a brigade of young robotics geniuses mastered in some or other scientific inventions used as powered weapon to fight the invincible looking evil. Film is filled with delightful moments that allow you to celebrate constant smile on your face and some natural laud laughs in between. For instance, the customary handshake action between Baymax & Hiro is the most adorable one without registering any single fail. Scenes depicting emotional bonding between the brothers are subtly done but for an impactful after-effect. The action sequences are sharp, crisp, fast and do throw a lot of comical punches on you in midst of its well-executed and delicately designed action parts. The climax is absolutely at par with any superhero movie you remember right away.

BIG HERO 6 does not have a star-face to ease your catch-22 situation of whether to go for it or not but you will definitely take away one with you back home after leaving the theater. Baymax has potential to meet any of your expectations from any superhero with a lot cuter-sweeter and charming nature to admire. There is no viable reason why you shouldn’t take your kids to BIG HERO 6. It is a film meant for kids but you will never regret any minute spent with it in the theater. [3.5/5]
