I've been looking forward to this movie for quite some time and, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. Oh, sure, it was a good film, but it lacked originality.
First, the 6 characters resemble The Avengers quite obviously. I mean, the design of Baymax (Scott Adsit) 's super suit was pretty much a complete copy of Ironman. Also, the fact that Hiro (Ryan Potter) pretty much rides him like a dragon is kind of a copy of How to Train Your Dragon. They also have a similar bond to Hiccup and Toothless #Unoriginality
Second, I'm PRETTY sure the villain is either a copy, or maybe just a reference, to one of the bad guys in Star Wars (can't saw which one because I actually haven't seen the films....). Also, on a side note, THAT IS A FREAKING CREEPY VILLAIN FOR A CHILD'S FILM, DISNEY!!!!! And that sparrow symbol was a direct copy of the Mocking Jay film/book's symbol!!
And, third, failed teleportation? I'm pretty sure something like that happened in a game called PORTAL. Also, it kind of looked like that futuristic battle teleportation television show that was on in the 90s....what's it called? Stargate? Something like that. Anyway, No originality.
On the plus side,the characters where decently rounded, and the plot flowed nicely. Although they focused on Hiro and Baymax, the divided the rest of the character-focus equally amongst the other 4. Also, there was a significant moment where I thought they may have written themselves into a corner, or forgotten something that resulted in a flaw within the story, but they found a way out of it rather gracefully, so there's that.
I can't decide if I liked Big Hero 6 or not. although there were definitely parts I really liked, there are aspects of the film that just make me angry. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's unoriginality,especially when it comes to film. Disney has become such a disappointment to me, lately.
I give Big Hero 6 6 out of 10.
