Three years later, we can finally see what Disney's vision is for the superhero genre.
They picked a comic book series that even Marvel themselves were having a hard time remembering.
With the chance to slightly change the characters to make them more appealing, the end result is something quite refreshing for Disney.
From start to finish, this is a brilliant film that keeps the momentum of Disney's success over the last few years.
We instantly get introduced to characters we already are interested in. The laughs are over-flowing and the story develops at a romping pace to an emotional finale. By the end, you are already re-enacting the scenes on the way out of the screening.
The big positives are the story, characters and the smart comedy. I lost count of how many times I had laughed before the first 15 minutes and it will have to take multiple viewings to remember all the gags.
Having laughs means the characters must be big winners with the viewers. All the main and supporting cast have their scene-stealing moment and they are wonderful heroes to root for.
However, some of the supporting cast and even the villain I felt were under-developed and weak overall. It was a big shame, but thankfully the positives are the clear majority.
It is a simple story that people of all ages can relate to and has a great mix of the modernisation and classic styles of Disney.
Another big positive is the action. From giving large scoping shots to wonderfully imaginative set-pieces, it definitely captures the audiences attention.
Like I said, the only big negatives was lack of knowledge of the supporting cast and main villain. I and I am sure many others would like to know more of the characters and I think the makers missed an opportunity there.
With it being a Disney, there needs to be a strong lesson and this one easily works .
Big Hero 6 shows Disney are still making more successful films, even after the juggernaut that was Frozen. For me, it did not have the depth like Frozen or Tangled, but the Disney revival is not over yet and I cannot wait to see their next offering.
Rating: 8/10
