Big Hero 6

In New Zealand, this movie was released on boxing day - 26th December 2014.

I watched this movie on 13th January 2015. So it is a bit late movie review but I had to write this because it is now one of my favourite movie !

It didn't have any product placement so I was glad since product placement in animation is really really weird - some might say that having a real brand in the animations might bring more reality feeling but seriously, it's an animation. It is not real.

This movie is supposedly set in San Francisco but has Tokyo name too - which makes that in future, Japan and America somehow shares a country - making the city name as San Franciskyo. It is quite difficult to say but smart for producer's perspective. It is also interesting why producers chose Tokyo - I mean, we have China, Korea, Singapore etc. Maybe simply because the author of this Manga is Japanese? Why Japan?

One thing that I liked about this movie is that this movie has Asian characters. Not just one, but several. In fact, the main character, Hiro, is Japanese (as he has Japanese name), an Asian. I have never seen Asian as main character in Hollywood movie except Mulan, which is Disney and is set in China. So it is really intersting how Hollywood acknowledged the importance of different races - maybe. Maybe they saw that Asian population is actually large and can become their target audiences or maybe because one of the producers is Asian and took his idea of having an Asian character. Who cares right? this movie is really really well made and fun. 

One strange thing about the movie is that it is quite long compared to other animation movies. The average animation movies are usually 90minutes. This movie is almost 120minutes. It felt quite long too. They have several fight scenes (against the "monster" who stole main character's genius scientific machine) instead of one, which is usually what the movie has - one fight scene.

One thing I did not except was that the Big Hero 6 will continue to do hero works. I excepted that Hiro will recreate Baymax and also create bunch more to accomplish his brother's dream. But noooo, he created Baymax and that was it. He did not create more of Baymax. He only wants to have Baymax to himself !!!! that selfish boy - I want it too.

I will rate this movie 4.5/5 because I did feel that the movie was quite long and I did wonder for a second about "when is this gonna end?". It was really really good movie - if you like animation movies like Frozen, go to cinema and watch Big Hero 6, or download it on iTunes and watch it. You won't regret it. 

You will say "ahh" or "awh" or "OMG so cute" and laugh out loud like "hahaha" or "hehehe" or "umhahaha (maybe)". It has funny moment, cute moments. It also has sad moment at the end but I did not cry so it is not that sad - you can hold on your tears on other movies. 

One was word - I WANT BAYMAX and Hiro has the tech that Iron Man has in his garage.
