'Big Hero 6' takes us on smart, energetic, animated journey

Friday, November 7, 2014
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- In the new movie "Big Hero 6," the animated star is Baymax, a robot programmed for health care. He helps some young heroes who are using brains over brawn to try and save their city, San Fransokyo, from a mysterious villain.

Like Disney animated movies before them, something sad happens in "Big Hero 6." And that makes the kids band together to solve a serious problem. But the film also has several not-so-serious moments.

"Big Hero 6" packs in comedy, drama, action and adventure, and while it's definitely aimed at the younger generation, there is material for mom and dad, too!

I was especially impressed by the voice actors, most notably the talented Scott Adsit who takes on the robotic rhythm of "Baymax."

Another star of the film is the city: San Fransokyo. It's a creative idea that's visually very well-executed.



"Big Hero 6" is a smart, clever, energetic journey featuring some unlikely -- but certainly likable -- heroes. It's rated PG and is in theaters now.

Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
