Don Hall and Chris Williams directs Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit and T.J. Miller in this Disney animated superhero movie where a prodigy uses robotics to investigate his brother’s iffy death at a high tech science fair.

Ensemble wise this feels as chaotically wobbly as Meet The Robinsons. I’m not going to lie I did let a lot of the maudlin tosh wash over me. The look is softened anime and the tone is very middle class. Big marshmallow robot Baymax steals the show, its ungainly sweetness really works wonders. One or two of the action set pieces have true scale to them. I liked Big Hero 6 but it wasn’t really what I need from a Disney release.
