Conversely, Lasseter dismissed the idea of a rift between the two companies, and producer Roy Conli stated that Marvel allowed Disney "complete freedom in structuring the story".[46][47] Disney Animation Studio President Andrew Millstein stated: "Hero is one example of what we've learned over the years and our embracing some of the Pixar DNA."[48] Regarding the film's story, Quesada stated, "The relationship between Hiro and his robot has a very Disney flavor to it ... but it's combined with these Marvel heroic arcs."[33] The production team decided early on not to connect the film to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and instead set the film in a stand-alone universe.[49]
Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic gave the film a positive review, writing, "Directors Don Hall and Chris Williams have made a terrific movie about a boy (Ryan Potter) and his robot friend, who seek answers to a deadly tragedy," calling it an "unexpectedly good treat".[139] Soren Anderson of The Seattle Times gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, saying that "Clever, colorful, fast on its feet, frequently very funny and sweet (but not excessively so), Big Hero 6 mixes its myriad influences into a final product that, while in no way original, is immensely entertaining."[140] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, saying that "the funny and heartwarming story about the bond between a teen tech geek and a gentle robot represents another can't-miss proposition by Walt Disney Animation Studios."[141] Jon Niccum of The Kansas City Star gave the film 3.5 out of four stars, writing that while it "may hit a few familiar beats inherent to any superhero 'origin story,'" it is still "the best animated film of the year, supplying The Incredibles-size adventure with a level of emotional bonding not seen since The Iron Giant", and that it "never runs low on battery power".[142] Elizabeth Weitzman of the Daily News gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, calling it a "charming animated adventure", saying that with "appealing 3D animation" and a smart and "sharp story and script", it is "one of the rare family films that can fairly boast of having it all: humor, heart and huggability".[143] Rafer Guzmán from Newsday gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying that "Marvel plus Disney plus John Lasseter equals an enjoyable jumble of kid-approved action", with "rich, vivid colors and filled with clever details".[144]

Baymax was never lost forever! Hiro discovers something his genius brother Tadashi has left behind: the chip that would allow Hiro to rebuild Baymax. The series Big Hero 6 Back In Action is one of the exciting things that has happened to a full length animation movie. If you loved Hero 6, you would adore the incredible adventures for the superheroes team Big Hero 6.
either way, I agree with everything you say. The scene with Baymax in the end is pointless and yes, I prefer the Superhero movies focussing on the heroes, too. Not that I dislike wonderfully complicated villains like Loki, and Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce is divine, but I also thoroughly enjoyed Ronan. He was the perfect villain for GotG. (Malekith is a dud, though).
Last night, Big Hero 6 won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. That means that after twelve years without a win in that category (and thirteen without any Oscar wins whatsoever), Walt Disney Animation Studios, the division that basically invented the animated feature and long cornered the market, has won two consecutive years, successfully defending Frozen's victory, albeit in another year without a Pixar nominee and a year in which the best animated film by most accounts (The Lego Movie) was bizarrely limited to the Best Original Song competition. On the other hand, had Wreck-It Ralph taken the honor among 2012's offerings as it should have, Disney could be holding a three-peat through 2015, its first year without a new release since 2006.Not many foresaw Big Hero 6 winning the Oscar. Most predicted How to Train Your Dragon 2 and I bet on an upset by the passion-inspiring yet largely unseen The Tale of Princess Kaguya. But you won't see me complaining about the win, probably the nicest surprise of an Oscar night where I wasn't all that crazy about any of the nominees. Big Hero 6 was well-received by critics (90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and wholeheartedly embraced by the public as well, its $220 million domestic and $546 M worldwide grosses towering over much of the competition, including Dragon 2 domestically and Lego Movie globally.The acquisition of Marvel gave Disney two of the top grossing films of 2014. It also gave them access to most of Marvel's exhaustive library of characters. While most would agree that Marvel Studios is doing a fine job making movies adapted from Marvel comic books, it's nice to have the option to give someone else at Disney a try. That occurs on Big Hero 6, which lets Walt Disney Animation Studios, riding a hot streak off the $1.2 billion-grossing Frozen, adapt a rather obscure series of comic books launched in 1998.An obscure source may challenge marketing departments, but it can be something of a blessing for filmmakers. For proof of that, look no further than Guardians of the Galaxy, the best-attended and perhaps best-loved of all 2014 releases. That film benefitted from most moviegoers having no real idea what to expect coming in. It wasn't a sequel or a reboot attempting to retell an often-told origin story. There was nothing sacred about the characters and no major prior filming to live up to.Big Hero 6 is very much in the same boat and it even has another liberating feature, by not bearing the Marvel name or adhering to the prevailing PG-13 superhero movie mold. This is a PG-rated animated film and one whose comic book origins will likely remain unknown to the majority of parents and kids attending it. Billed "from the creators of Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen", the film wields the weight of the Disney Animation brand and not even the timeless classical music fairy tales but a couple of hip, recent blockbusters that many of all ages found highly entertaining.Much more Wreck-It Ralph than Frozen and most comparable to Meet the Robinsons out of the now 54-deep canon, Big Hero 6 is set in the city of San Fransokyo (which lives up to its name as a hybrid of San Francisco and Tokyo) in the seemingly not so distant future. Fourteen-year-old Hiro Hamada spends his time partaking in underground bot fights for money. Posing as a young naif, Hiro and his personally engineered, remote-controlled bot can hustle the best of them to illegal financial gain. Hiro's big brother Tadashi gently encourages the prodigy, who he clumsily exposits graduated high school at 13, to check out his college, San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. This so-called "nerd school" is a paradisiacal playground to Hiro, who is in awe of the high-tech gadgetry being developed by his brother and four fellow science geeks.Tadashi's big invention is Baymax, an inflatable robotic personal health care companion. A rotund, marshmallow-like anthropomorphic creature with a face that's blank apart from barbell-shaped eyes, Baymax is designed to help those requiring medical attention, which he provides calmly with questions, answers, and instant body scans. Baymax becomes a kind of guide for Hiro as the boy tries to track down a supply of microbots, his own big invention devised to gain admission to SFIT. What Hiro and Baymax find is a menacing mystery man in a kabuki mask who has apparently stolen Hiro's potent, near-limitless technology to serve his own personal interests.No more needs to be said about the film's plot. It is framed slightly like a mystery and unfolds with a couple of big twists you should be able to predict right before their reveals without any spoilers. That isn't troubling, because Big Hero 6 is less a mystery and more an adventure. It's a superhero movie in which the heroes aren't that super, just very smart and savvy. A group dynamic emerges when Hiro and Baymax are joined by Tadashi's classmates, who you discover were worth the introductions the film gave them. They've all got nicknames, distinct interests and personalities. The most outstanding character of them is Fred (noticeably voiced by T.J. Miller), a party dude who is school mascot but not a student and not in the economic bracket you'd expect.Adapted from Marvel comics, Big Hero 6 inevitably features some action. You might feel it's obligatory or, being a PG Disney movie, tame, but neither of those labels fits. As someone who is quickly tired by even well-made action sequences that run too long and don't do anything new (see Captain America: The Winter Soldier), I was happy that Big Hero 6 keeps its conflict creative and does not overextend it. The action bits work because the universe and the characters have been thoroughly established and developed. Some formula elements (a foreseeable death, a somewhat obvious misdirect) advance the plot at times. You've got to just take such moments in stride and you will because the movie is smart, funny, touching, and exciting enough to not have to be completely original and brilliant.On the basis of The Incredibles alone, Pixar is probably the most obvious choice for a Disney-owned animation studio to tackle a Marvel superhero film. While that might happen some day, the best thing about Pixar has been their ability to cultivate original ideas into delightful storytelling. That is a quality that has been missed in the past few years as the industry's standard bearer has sort of underwhelmed with incongruous, inferior franchise extensions, one good but not quite great original film, and a rare off year. Thankfully, Pixar has two original films scheduled for release in 2015 and Brad Bird is supposedly going to give the public the one Pixar sequel everyone seems to want in a long-overdue second Incredibles. Meanwhile, Pixar's last few releases have not just dragged down the company's batting average, they have also enabled the competition to catch up.Disney Animation has caught up as well as anyone. Just nine years ago, the feature division that began with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was in the midst of an identity crisis as they moved from traditional methods to computer animation adopting a tone akin to DreamWorks. That is but a distant memory now and Pixar's head honcho John Lasseter may be most responsible for the image makeover. With Lasseter in control of both studios' output, Pixar's emphasis on story has rubbed off on Disney Animation, whether they are adding to their legacy of musical fairy tales, showing Winnie the Pooh the respect he deserves, or adapting an obscure Marvel comic book series. Even those like me not terribly impressed by Frozen have to acknowledge that the gap between Pixar and other animation studios, especially Disney's, has narrowed. For a while, there was Pixar, then space bar, space bar, space bar, everyone else.Even in just the recently ended first half of the decade, though, we've seen a number of non-Pixar animated movies that could compare to at least the midrange of the CGI pioneers' 20-year canon: Rango, Wreck-It Ralph, The Lego Movie. And now, Big Hero 6. It may not be a game-changer and it's far too soon to know if fifteen years from now a new edition of this film will warrant heavy promotion and excitement or a more muted response. What's more important, now, is that Disney Animation is regularly demonstrating they can still craft films worthy of being added to a list that includes such masterpieces as Pinocchio, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King. They've got the talent and the technology to make something visually dazzling and structurally significant while working in a wide variety of genres and styles. They are once again capable of making movies that are just as good as many of the best live-action films of the year, even if they won't get recognized as such by awards shows or many critics.Doing its part to narrow the theatrical window, Big Hero 6 arrives a week before the month Disney has long used to bring their November animated releases to home video. It hits stores tomorrow on DVD and in the Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD combo pack reviewed here, each coming three weeks after the movie became available on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere. (Though theatrically exhibited in 3D, this is the latest Disney movie not to get a Blu-ray 3D release in North America.) 2ff7e9595c
