| Topic | Gauntlet Crew Ranks (more!) Animated Films! - Ay mi familia, oiga mi gente |

The only problem is that the moments that are supposed to be its highs are its lows for me and it has a pretty big impact on my overall opinion of the film. The scene where Baymax is basically learning how to fly and takes Hiro on a flight through the city ends up being one of the cringiest moments in the movie for me because it feels so blatantly copied from How to Train your Dragon. It's like... Oh what was one of the coolest and best scenes in HTTYD? How about the scene where Hiccup first takes out Toothless on that dangerous flight. Let's completely and utterly copy that and put it in our movie because it was so cool! Sorry movie, you can't fool me. It just ends up being such a meh scene for me because of how similar it is to HTTYD's flight scene and it lasts quite a long time too. Some other huge moments that kind of drag the film down a bit for me are the more heartfelt scenes. While some of these did work and were done quite well, others not so much. There is absolutely no one that thought Baymax didn't put his chip in his hand when he sent them off. It was so completely obvious that any sadness that you are supposed to feel from the scene is utterly destroyed and for a moment that is supposed to make you care so much for Hiro and Baymax, it just kind of fails. Other than those few moments that don't really do it for me, the rest of the film is very solid and quite enjoyable. Good stuff. red: I almost want to rank this movie a bit lower just because I feel like its not up to recent Disney standards, but that simply isn't entirely fair. Honestly, it has problems, most of the characters are incredibly one dimensional, despite it being "big hero 6", with a number 6, the only meaningful character of the group is Hiro and maybe a bit of Baymax. Though you are pretty consistently reminded Baymax is a robot and not a person. The rest of the cast of 6 is just whatever stereotype we are given at the start and never evolves. Hell, of all of them, I think we learn the most about Fred, the dude with the job of being a mascot. The cast needed to be more fleshed out and the villain blowing the lab up to steal the microbots never seemed to make much sense since he could hide his identity and basically already had the microbots in his possession. His motivations were not outright evil except he seems to just turn outright evil. Disney could do better than this, but this is still a better move than a huge chunk of this list. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
