   I feel that your review with this movie was a great spin on using the name of the movie. However, I also feel it was really under represented. This movie was absolutely amazing! I felt it really captured emotions and the animation was superb! The graphics within in the eyes of Hiro, you can see Tadashi his brother every time he looks at Baymax. Super genius. The writers and animation really blasted their way to my heart with this film.

   I really enjoyed watching this movie. There really is nothing like a nice family-oriented film by Pixar to make you feel warm inside. But, what I especially enjoyed about this film was the way it seemingly fused San Francisco with Tokyo. I actually looked up online where this movie was supposed to take place, and the answer I found was “San Fransokyo”. Blending American and Japanese cultures into one movie to this extent was something I have not seen in a movie, or at least not in a way as memorable as this one! Definitely would recommend watching this movie if you have not seen it yet. Will not disappoint.

   I thought this was a very clever and creative way to structure a film review and I really enjoyed it. Besides just being creative and clever I thought it gave some good insight into the movie and what it was actually about. I enjoy animated films and I am looking forward to watching this one. Especially if you believe it is one of the better ones today. I also think that I will enjoy the humor in this film along with the major themes of love, grief and friendship. I am really looking forward to watching this movie and forming more of my own opinion on it. Overall though I thought this was a great review that packed some quality information in a compact and creative way.

   I agree this film was one of the best animated films so far. I love this movie because it contains humor for children and adults. I like how it engages an audience of all ages. The vivid color and accurate animation through out the film bring life to the overall look. Also, the narrative is exciting, its appealing with all of the action but yet sweet as Hiro tries to avenge his brothers death once he suspects the fire wasn’t an accident. This is a great family film.

   I saw the film Big Hero 6 a while ago but remember it well. I thought the film was an excellent movie and thought it was a very cute movie. It is the typical children movie with a hero facing a conflict, but even as an 18 year old it touched me emotionally. The film captured my attention and was immensely enjoyable due to the comedic aspects of it. It is dramatic but kept light-hearted and you become absorbed in the movie. It makes you root for Baymax and Hiro and the overall concept of making a difference in the world is an excellent idea for young children to be watch and be a part of.

   This is a cool way to review a film. I really enjoyed this movie, and I think due to this film being released the year after Frozen, the movie flew under the radar. Big Hero 6 is definitely underrated in my mind. I’d also call Big Hero 6 one of the best superhero films of all time. Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie!

   Your unique film review really captured what Big Hero 6 was all about! I love animated films and I really enjoyed this one because the plot for the movie was different than most animated films in my opinion. I love how Baymax was designed to help people in a more medical way but ended up becoming the hero for the entire movie. Like you said, this movie is very funny but it is also sad due to Hiro’s brother Tadashi passing away in the beginning of the film due to a fire. Although that was tragic, I loved that Hiro took his brother’s project and in the end, enhanced it. Hiro and Baymax spent a lot of time together and it was obvious in the film that they created a friendship that was never going to end. This movie was awesome and I am so glad I was able to see it multiple times! Thanks for sharing a one of kind film review :)

   Extremely charitable film about brotherly love, self-sacrifice, a health-care robot and his creator fighting for the truth taking place in a futuristic San Francisco. Baymax is health-care robot created by Tadashi to help humanity live more flourishing lives. His younger brother Hiro enters a project to enroll in the same tech school as Tadashi and develops Microbots which can become any structure that the user imagines them to be. A truly fun film to watch with excellent character development with both the protagonist and antagonist, each with compelling motives that fuels their decisions throughout the film.
