Big Hero 6 [DVD]

Wheee! I'll be honest. I never read nor cared about the comic book on which this was based. Most Marvel fans are the same as me on this, I suspect. So no one really cares that they made major changes to a comic book story that was just a cheap attempt to cash in on the manga craze anyway. The result is pure awesomesauce. I'm not crazy about the fact that they changed the setting from Japan to "San Fransokyo," but other than that, this is a rousing humdinger of a movie that feels like a perfect blend of Disney and Marvel with just a dash of Pixar thrown in. The personalities of the supporting characters are a bit stock, but extremely well-done stock. Of course, it's a CGI movie, so you can count on the 3D being mathematically perfect.

Since the powers that be don't or won't offer a USA- North American Region 1/A Blu-ray 3D version of Big Hero 6, I took a chance and bought this UK import which is suppose to be a "region free" set. I have a Samsung 55" Smart TV with 3D capability along with a Samsung Home Theatre Blu-ray DVD/3D capable player both purchased in 2013. I popped in the Blu-ray 3D disk, set my smart TV to 3D, enabled my 3D glasses and selected English. The disc played flawlessly with excellent picture quality and wonderful 3D effects. So, if you're in the USA or Region 1 and are looking to purchase this movie with both 2D and 3D disc's.......it played on my system perfectly. As for the movie.......... it's another wonderful Disney product and won't disappoint.

The movie has all the feels and enough laughs to keep you from being too teary eyed as the story plays out. I cannot recommend it highly enough for adults and for children. Just a lovely story and very well done.

Big Hero 6 is a great movie BUT BEWARE of this DVD sold by World Wide Entertainment. Maybe the seller's name should be a clue to potential problems with DVDs not compatible with players in the U.S. We tried to play it on our Mac and it would not play because the DVD we received is for region 2 (Europe). FYI, this is denoted on the back of the box by a small world map icon with a black 2 over the map. The U.S. is in region 1. Of course, you can switch the region on your Mac in order to play the movie, but I wouldn't do that if I were you. Your Mac will allow you to switch regions only 4 times and then never again. Probably every other DVD you own is for region 1, and who knows what other compatibility problems will pop up with switching regions. Not sure how many of these DVDs from WWE are for regions other than region 1. I did read one other review mentioning this issue. Buyer beware. The good news is that as an Amazon Prime customer my return was free.

Such a great film for kids/adults alike. Really interesting story and excellent animation. Was even better in 3/D!! Good for everyone:)

Okay, I finally broke down and bought the 3D import of this film. (And I'm REALLY ticked-off at Disney for their stupid, ridiculous, profit-less, INSULTING decision NOT to release their 3D offerings on Blu-ray 3D in the U.S. - a slap in the face to the patrons in their home country ... the folks who, in the greater part, MADE Disney sucessfull. After a lifetime, this decision has totally affected my relationship with that company. Hey Disney, my wallet will ever remember this insult!) Good movie, the 3D seems excellent ... just like in the theaters. (And no, I won't apologize for the rant!)

This movie is a great find that my husband and I love, as well as the children we've seen watching it (nieces and nephews). The plot is emotional, funny, exciting, and everything you'd expect from a Disney Studios film. The story is VERY loosely based on a comic story, but that isn't strong enough of a connection for someone to go read after watching this. As for the Blu-Ray itself, the formatting basically opens up directly in the movie, and if you want to click to the previews included, you can, but they don't start automatically like normal. Nice!

I like the movie, however, it is hard to swallow a nice man who teaches and mentors countless young minds, serving society, and loves his daughter so much that when he loses her in what he understood to be a very high risk experiment is willing to destroy the world and everybody else's daughters and sons in revenge. The movie failed in Character Consistency in the storyline. Other than that, it was a moving story between the love of two brothers, and the critical need for faithful friends, and for that - 5 stars.

For Big Hero 6 Disney ditches the cutesy princess stories in favour of something more action orientated and it pays off in spades. Hiro is boy genius. He knows everything about tech, especially robots. He invents micro bots which can be controlled by your mind, however these fall into the wrong hands so it is up to him and his med bot Baymax to save the day. The story is great and pacey from start to finish. Its an emotional rollercoaster and has some great action beats. The relationship between Hiro and Baymax is superb and beautifully told. The film is loosely based on a Marvel comic but it is refreshing to see that this doesn't follow the same formula as its live action cousins. In fact here the villain of the piece is more interesting and has his own emotional twist to the story. The action is great fun and the growth of these characters makes it even more interesting and of course the animation is top notch. Fransokyo is a neon drenched not too distant future and looks amazing. Big Hero 6 is a delight from start to finish and is a huge amount of fun. Best of all there are no soppy songs to drag it down!

Big Hero 6 is an uplifting change to Pixar's usual type of films. Based on the japanese Marvel comics of the same name, Big Hero 6 follows protagonist Hiro (Yes, that is his name) Hamada and his meeting with Baymax, a robot designed by his brother Tadashi. Without revealing spoilers, Hiro meets other superheros Wasabi (an OCD type of superhero), Honey Lemon (the girly girl superhero), GoGo (the un-girly girl superhero) and Fred (the guy who wants to be a hero without any powers or skills). This film is a real gem and provides fantastic graphics and colours to an otherwise typical superhero story. It is a must watch for children and adults of all ages.
