For an animated film like this, it's surprising good, even if the media tends to tear it down and make fun of it.

Great story, but I felt that the obese airbag could have been a little more expressive.

The plot is predictable but the world is very cool and realistically futuristic. The characters are all well written, the voice acting is great, the choreography and animation quality are excellent, and genuinely had some great humor. Surprised to see such a dark film from Disney, but a happy surprise. The 2022 shorts are also worth a watch.

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.

Independent (UK)

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

Dynamic Duel Podcast

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...
