I watched the Oscar's recently, as I try to every year, mainly to see what movies I should have viewed for notable performances, music, or simply for the art (let's not forget, I'm always in the search for good dialogue these days). I remember noting that Big Hero 6 won an award and who can deny that when Disney is involved in the realm of animation, it's worth a look. I have to say, this one was very well done.

Hiro is a young genius in some sort of pseudo-future time that can pretty much invent anything he puts his mind to. His brother, also an inventor, created a robot named Baymax that can diagnose medical needs based on the programming he has been given. He is oddly shaped and has limitations but a fun character nonetheless. What I enjoyed about this film is the relationship between this robot and this boy in the context and limitations of the programming Baymax has regarding medical support. Hiro has a purpose and this robot is there to help in ways not expected.

This animated film has a great amount of adventure, fun moments, deep moments that make it to that happily ever after ending. The team involved in creating this film has definitely earned the academy award for animation as it was exciting to watch. Hiro's challenge of working with this robot that has its physical limitations can be felt at times of the film. The characters all make for a great team to help young Hiro in his quest.
