The latest Disney movie has arrived, and like most of its ancestors, it is a marvelous animated piece with plenty of heart.

“Big Hero 6,” starring Ryan Potter as protagonist Hiro Hamada, is an adaptation of a Marvel comic book series steeped in cartoon style and vibrant adventure.

It provides action sequences that are animated brilliantly and captivate the audience, and its characters are well-thought-out, with memorable personalities. The writing is also polished: funny and almost perfectly displaying the feelings and thoughts of the characters.

The film is about a young genius named Hiro who demonstrates a deep passion for robotics and “bot battles.” His new inventions, “micro bots,” captivate a professor at his desired school and he sets out for university. However, as Hiro leaves for home, the school is set on fire. This causes the death of his brother and leaves him with his brother’s invention, Baymax. After he is attacked by a mysterious masked villain who takes possession of the micro bots, Hiro trains Baymax to fight. In addition, a few of Hiro’s friends are also given high-tech suits to help them fight off this mysterious villain and to keep the city of San Fransokyo (wrap your head around that one) safe.

The story is delightful, and the characters engaging. However, the film does have flaws, the biggest one being its overly fast pace.

Superhero movies take plenty of thought, requiring both jaw-dropping action and an interesting plot. If the pace is too slow, the film will be boring. “Big Hero 6” has a pace that can be too fast and leaves questions hanging.

Explanations are rushed, character development is unrealistically quick, and some background information is left out.

The fast pace of the film is its biggest flaw, but it could also serve as one of the film’s strengths. The hasty explanations and rapid action sequences allow the more important moments of the film to have more time.

I rate “Big Hero” a 9 out of 10 for its satisfaction, emotion, and colorful characters. Viewers who are into superhero films, Disney, or any movie that has emotion and adorable charm (brought to you here by Baymax’s innocence) will love it. Even those who are not should give it a try for its splendid writing and entertaining plot.
