"Best by Pixar." .... you do know Pixar had nothing to do with this, right?

(Slaps himself) stupid stupid stupid. I'll have to fix that soon.
Great review and analysis. The rest of the team was a bit underplayed, but given the film was really about the characterization between Hiro and Baymax it more than makes up for it IMHO.
You are displaying abnormally high compulsions to over-analyze works of fiction and media. Diagnosis: TV Tropes Addiction.
Mattonymy:
Thanks. And to be honest, even though its a legitimate flaw, there really was no room to flesh out most of the team from how I see it. Although there are movies like The Incredibles which managed to characterize all of the main characters (some to an extent) and some of the supporting ones with a surprisingly natural flow, I can't really see how they would be able to flesh out the characters without sacrificing some key points of development.
So in those terms, I can't really excuse the team not being fleshed out but I can acknowledge that they probably wouldn't have time to flesh them out with the amount of time they had and the main focus being after all Hiro and Baymax. Though I can't really see myself liking the film if I didn't like Hiro and Baymax so that could be a drawback.

Ryochi reviews Big Hero 6
Pros:
Cons:
Overall:
A good film. A very good film. Not exactly TEH BEST THING EVUR, but its a pretty good movie nonetheless. The main thing that people should be watching this movie for is for three things....Hiro, Hiro and Baymax's Relationship, and the Death By Origin story deconstruction. All of the side characters are pretty one-dimensional archetypes (who yes help Hiro in his recovery) but they aren't really groundbreaking in terms of characterization.
Yokai is a really great villain that mirrors Hiro in a way that is clearly mentioned in the Death by Origin Story tag on the main page. Its just a nice parallel worth mentioning.
And what exactly can I say about Hiro and Baymax that wasn't mentioned already? Besides the fact that he develops realistically and their relationship develops so naturally that you can't help but root for them.
So would I recommend this movie to someone? Yes. But if they don't like Hiro and Baymax, they won't like the movie. But its OK that Hiro and Baymax play a big role, because THEY are the focus of the movie.
