Big Hero 6
Director: Don Hall and Chris Williams
Year Released: 2014
Rating: 2.0
Techno whiz-kid Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter), following the untimely death of his older brother Tadashi and a college professor in a suspicious fire, teams up with his brother's robot creation, an inflatable nurse named Baymax (Scott Adsit), to find out what really happened. Fluffy, strictly kids-only fare, it was strongly inspired by Saturday morning cartoons, Power Rangers and video games (the characters announce their "special moves" like they do in Street Fighter) and it doesn't strike me as being a particularly fresh take on its predecessors (plus: plot holes galore!). The short that precedes it, Feast - about a hungry dog and his lonely owner - is considerably more endearing.
