Episode 82 - Big Hero 6 *Listener's Choice*

The new animated movie from Disney (that isn't Pixar) is this beautifully rendered film whose technical wizardry is not quite equaled by its familiar story.  What begins as a unique study of characters, morphs into a tried and true superhero tale.  Hiro and Tadashi are two siblings who live in San Fransokyo, a technologically happenin' town.  Both are involved in the creation of robots, and early in the film, Hiro decides he wants to pursue his passion at the local university.  Tragedy strikes! Hiro then finds himself involved with a robot his brother designed, named Baymax.  Hiro and Baymax work together (with a little help from their friends) to fight a destructive force on their home turf.  "Big Hero 6" is wondrous to look at, but Andrew found himself let down by the sameness of the story.  Special guest Emily requested the film as her listener's choice and also found a lot to enjoy, animation-wise.  Phil felt a little misled by the publicity of the film, which stressed the relationship of Hiro and Baymax, when in fact, the bulk of the story (including the title) concerns the team of superheroes.
