Big Hero 6 (2014)

This is another Disney 3D animated offering after Frozen. Says on the billboard and ads that the same team is responsible. Seems like Pixar is leaving its mark on Disney's animation arm.

Big Hero 6 is actually a kid-friendly version of the Avengers. If you've seen the Avengers and The Incredibles, you would have just about seen this movie. It's almost the same but with different set of characters and a very toned down villian and family friendly action scenes. No blood, nobody dies and lots of debris.

The action takes place in a fictional city of San Fransokyo. I must say they did a great job melding San Francisco and Tokyo together for it. The city looks great and has signature looks from both real life cities. They have even melded the cultures from the two cities.

As with any Disney / Pixar offerings, this movie has a lot of heart. Mixing it up with the action is some humour which is done nicely. Nice plot and nice pacing. I think this is as close as Disney can get before someone calls them out for copying anime and/or Japanese tokusatsu.

Great distraction for a couple of hours and great for the whole family with something for the kids and adults alike. Extra bonus is that Big Hero 6 DOES NOT come with an annoying song that kids will want to play over and over again.
