Big Hero 6 3D (Includes 2D Version) - Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray

I'm 28 years old and bought this for my birthday because I'm awesome like that and love animated movies. I watched this with my wife and daughters and it was amazing. I could say that I bought it for my daughters but let's face it, animated movies rock and I would have bought it even if I didn't have kids. It's a great story about dealing with loss and I think it would really help people that are feeling sad. I plan to watch it again and again.

Back in 2009, Disney purchased Marvel Comics for four billion dollars. Shocking and surprising the world, many fans of both sides were curious whether Disney would make an animation film based on a group of characters from the comics.Three years later, Director Don Hall approached John Lasseter on making a film with Marvel Characters and found the Big Hero 6, a comic book series that even the most well known of comics didn't know who they were. In fact they were so obscure that Marvel themselves even forgot that they had the characters.Marvel gave Disney the liberty to change the characters so that they could be seen as a Disney Animation Film. And the result is simply refreshing.Big Hero 6 is a beautiful film, showcasing how much animation has become. The east and west coast mash up of San Fransokyo combines to make such a spectacular scenery, that the city may as well be a character to the film.The cast is also fun to watch. One annoyance films try to do is by shoving the diversity of characters in your face. Big Hero 6 doesn't do that, instead the focus is on the characters themselves and not the diversity, making it enjoyable to watch. One of the biggest highlights is the girls of the cast. I took my 3 nieces with my friends and I, and they loved how they were smart, enjoyable and didn't need to fall for a man. The cast is truly relatable, whether you are precise like Wasabi, positive like Honey Lemon or just a guy who loves media like Fred.Of course the star of the film is the robot of Baymax. Any scene that he is in steals the show, whether it is his introduction or his care for Hiro and Company.The Villain by far is one of the best villains in recent Disney history, he doesn't sing, dance or monologue, he simply gets the job done.The film showcases the action greatly by giving large scopes and music that fits exceptionally well. Emotionally, the film captures the audience by showcasing the bond of brotherhood between Hiro and his older brother Tadashi, as well as his friend Baymax who is like a Surrogate brother to our main hero.A strong lesson in this film, is that family can be more than blood related, you have friends, who become part of that. That really showed how much I cared for the loved ones around me, especially my older brother who is in the military, creating robots and fixing medical equipment.If there was one complaint I would give, I would've like to see a little bit more about the rest of the team. Other than that, Big Hero 6 is a heartwarming tale that captures something for the entire family.Big Hero 6 is another showing that Disney can continue to make great films after the juggernaut that was Frozen. This film showcases that the Disney Revival (Films such as The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Wreck-it-Ralph and Frozen) is not over yet, and I cannot wait to see what the next film has to offer.

One of my favorite Pixar films... In the top-five with Toy Story 3, Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Monsters, Inc. It nudged out Bug's Life, which is still an amazing piece of film-making, and The Incredibles, still my favorite Super Hero film...At its heart, Big Hero 6 is a story about how we cope with loss... The setting is one that is as fantastical as it is a realistic depiction of our society's exponential technology growth. And upon that canvas of BladeRunner-meets-TheFifthElement, Pixar tells a story as timeless as MacBeth or Odysseus or Star Wars... The question of whether we allow loss to consume us or to teach us.What makes this telling brilliant are the hilarious, intelligent and real characters this story weaves together, each bringing a perspective that enhances and delivers on the final story arc. Like Wall-E before it, the heart of this story is an adorable robot, BayMax, whose core "programmed humanity" is to actually care for humanity. Despite this story starting as a gee-whiz future-utopia drama, rapidly up-shifting into an action-thriller pacing, and finally resolving as a tear-jerker mystery-drama, it's BayMax and his unwavering dedication to that core programming that holds this story together.I also can't say enough good things about the "random buddy" character of Fred... While each of the other "Scooby Gang" characters fits their designated positions like clockwork, it's Fred's surfer-dude-libowski-dude total ownership of the "Shaggy" role that I really loved. His super power is quite literally being the team's cheerleader. That he's also the Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne of the team is just a master-stroke.Unlike, say... Cars... I'm actually looking forward to what else could be done in this universe and really do hope Pixney has some sequels in the pipeline. The source material is ripe with good ideas.Great for all ages, in my opinion, but the story does deal with both the loss of parents and the death of a sibling/child as primary story elements. If you our uncomfortable with your children dealing with such existential conflicts, you may want to give it time. But the main moral of the story IS how do we grieve and it is delivered very well.

Certainly a great movie in full Disney style and a fresh dip of Marvel magic. A marvellous addition to the by now massive Disney bluray collection. Also the extras on this region free bluray is excellent. I am glad this edition is available long before we have a UK or Dutch release. The package is delived with an extra sleeve and was delivered undemaged.

Ein gelungener 3 D Film der in keiner Sammlung fehlen darf.Hiro Hamada ist ein brillanter Teenager und lebt in der futuristischen Stadt San Fransokyo, wo er sein geniales Erfindertalent aber bei weitem nicht so nutzt, wie es sein Bruder Tadashi gerne hätte. Als dieser stirbt, findet Hiro den aufblasbaren Roboter Baymax, der von Tadashi entwickelt wurde, um Menschen mit Schmerzen zu helfen. Baymax' tatkräftige Unterstützung kann der aufgeweckte Junge gut gebrauchen, droht doch schon bald ein mysteriöser Mann mit einer Kabuki-Maske damit, seine Heimatstadt zu zerstören. Mit der Hilfe von Baymax und Tadashis Freunden Go Go Tomago, Wasabi, Honey Lemon und Fred beschließt Hiro, alles zu tun, um die Katastrophe zu verhindern. Dazu stattet er seine Mitstreiter mit allerlei nützlichen High-Tech-Gerätschaften aus. Gemeinsam sind sie von nun an die "Big Hero 6".

Che cosa succede quando un fumetto della Marvel che è quasi sconosciuto al grande pubblico, incontra la magia dell'animazione targata Disney? Nasce un gioiello d'animazione da 651 milioni di dollari d’incasso worldwide, il premio Oscar come miglior film d'animazione 2015 che porta il nome Big Hero 6.Con Guardiani Della Galassia prima, e con la sgangherata banda di Hiro e Baymax poi, la Marvel è riuscita ha trasformare in fenomeno delle saghe a prescindere da quanto queste siano già conosciuto dal grande pubblico prima dell’arrivo sul grande schermo.Il blu-ray di Big Hero 6 è di altissima qualità nel reparto video/audio, srà superfluo dirlo ma la qualità dell'immagine sia della versione standard che di quella in stereoscopia, è strepitosa. Ogni cosa è estremamente tattile, con particolare riferimento alle texture di Baymax, e il livello di resa dei dettagli degli ambienti interni, quanto di quelli esterni della città di San Fransokyo, permette di ammirare l’art direction del film in tutto il suo splendore. Ottima la percezione della profondità offerta dal 3D.Ottimo l’audio italiano in DTS 5.1, anche se meno robusto e vibrante rispetto al DTS-HDMA 7.1 inglese, ma si sà siamo in Italia.L'offerta dei contenuti speciali è discreta, però qualcuno in più non avrebbe certo fatto del male.

Il bluray di Big Hero 6 è per quanto riguarda la qualità del "video" è a dir poco strepitoso, il 2D vanta un dettaglio da primato su tutti gli elementi del quadro e in ogni minimo particolare, basta ammirare le piccolissime scrostature dell'armatura di Baymax, oppure le caratteristiche dei vari personaggi e le ambientazioni ricche di particolari. Il croma è esuberante a dir poco e ricco di sfumature, In un film così ricco di azione frenetica come Big Hero 6, è ovvio che anche dall'audio ci si aspetta molto. Qui va detto che ancora una volta per l'ascolto in italiano bisogna accontentarsi di un DTS 5.1, (invece del DTS HD Master Audio 7.1 della traccia inglese). Buono ma non eccezionale il reparto dei contenuti speciali, dove è assolutamente da non perdere il corto Winston.
