Big Hero 6 "Fist Bump" into our hearts!

 

Fadala-lala

Fist bump to the most extraordinary shows that boys (and girls) would love for 2014. If Frozen was a tear hit for the little girls last year, Big Hero 6 would be the boy's equivalent for this year.

Robots, cool superheroes, action pack animations, and a unique story on friendship. This is one Disney movie that will tug your heartstrings and, at the same time, pump up that adrenaline. 2 thumbs fists up!

Big Hero 6 is Disney's latest action-packed adventure about a young tech prodigy Hiro Hamada who lost his brother, Tadashi, in an accidental fire. Driven to solve his brother's death, he transforms his companion -Baymax, a super cute 'ballon' robot, into one mean karate fighting machine. Together with his nerdy friends from his brother's university, they transform into a group of 6 high-tech heroes to bring justice and closure.

Set in San Fransokyo, it is sumptuously designed as a mix of Tokyo and San Fransico. This gives it an East-West culture that will universally appeal to kids.

If you expect a hit song like 'Let it Go' in Frozen, there is a better show for you. Yet, in true Disney fashion, the movie has heart-tugging moments and life lessons that warrant a tissue or two. Add humour, high-tech heroes and a loveable robot in a form you least expected, and this has the words hit, sequels and franchise written all over it.

For kids who love action and parents (especially Daddies) who love tech, this tale of brotherhood, friendship and sacrifice will endear the audience to the show. Big Hero 6 May be inspired by a Marvel comic of the same name, but the show has Disney stamped all over it. 

The main character Baymax is a sure hit with kids. He appears every time someone screams 'Ow', as he is programmed as a medical robot who would dispense care and medical advice. But, build in a non-threatening ballon-like form, he is like an extensive brother replacement to Hiro. The fun ratio turns up several notches when Hiro upgrades Baymax. Together with Honey Lemon, Gogo Tomago, Wasabi and Fred, they battle with the masked villain to uncover the cause of Tadashi's death.

As for the boys, they gave the show a 10/10, proclaiming it to be the best show ever. It is hard to argue with them as this is one show I would gladly watch again.

Big Hero 6 opens in the cinema today in Singapore. We say we make it the School holiday movie to watch!

Growing up isn't easy,; sometimes, we must show our friends and families we care. The simplest way to share a hug. Spread the love and get ready for a #baymaxhug!
