Review:
Judging animated films is significantly more difficult for me than other films because there is this inherent sense that animated films are made for children, as opposed to for adults. And that in reviewing animated films, standards should be different. Now while I do think that it does make sense for animated films to follow different criteria, I also think that at its core all films should have the same standards for quality based on some fundamental aspects of storytelling.
Don't worry! This movie definitely lives up to the standard Frozen set last year. Marvel and Disney do a great job at creating a movie that's both heartwarming and action packed. This movie reminds me of all the great Marvel movies, all the great Disney movies, and How to Train a Your Dragon all combined into one. With the heart of Frozen (not the Frozen one), this movie tells the tale of 2 brothers...sound familiar? The characters were charming, funny, and lovable all at the same time, especially Baymax. The animation in this movie was just gorgeous especially the underwater scene. Congrats to the whole Disney and Marvel team on a great follow up to your masterpiece! Oh and make sure you wait after the credits for an extra scene. I mean it is a Marvel movie too right?
