The oversized and awkward, cute and caring Baymax could easily be the preferred stocking stuffing this Christmas.

What you might not have heard before is the way this film laces that basic story with beautiful themes that push back against some of the assumptions of the genre.

The film deals in a subtle and moving way with grief and teenage anxiety while serving up all the thrills of a big-budget animated movie with superhero protagonists.

Rated: 4/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Brimming with fun humor, busy action, and imaginative science, what really wins is the story and Disney picked a winner.

Rated: 4/5

While a very loose adaptation of the comics, the film presents a fun, scientific approach to superheroics alongside a heartfelt story about coping with loss.

Rated: 4.5/5

[It] is an adaptation of a Marvel Comics title but the filmmakers thoroughly transform it into a Disney feature, complete with issues of loss and family at the center of the creation of a student superhero team...

A young teenager creates a group of superheroes to save his city. This is Disney Animation’s first film using a property from Marvel Comics. The heart of this film is the relationship between Hiro and Baymax, Hiro’s brother’s nurse robot. The film really delivers on that relationship and does well with the subject of loss. The supporting characters are unique and interesting. The animation is the quality that you would expect from Disney. The voice acting is also well done with Ryan Potter as Hiro and Scott Adsit as Baymax being the standouts. A highly recommended movie, go check it out!
