Big Hero 6- Birthday review

I turned seventeen yesterday! Now both sixteen and eighteen have some sort of value, but not seventeen. (Harry Potter related) After wracking my brains for a while I remembered that Hogwarts releases the underage restriction of doing magic outside school when the wizard or witch turns seventeen! And call this coincidence or whatever, but my parents gifted me a time-turner. So far so good. Yesterday I finally got the chance to watch Big Hero 6. So I decided to write a review on it, a birthday review.

Set in the fictional city of San Fransokyo in Japan, Hiro, our protagonist is one of the youngest bot fighter in the history of bot fighting. After his parents' death he and his his brother lived with their aunt Cass. Since then, Hiro was always into making robots and fighting them. His brother, Tadashi was studying at the Robotics  Centre in the city's university and wanted Hiro to join as well rather than waste his talent in bot fighting. So he takes him to his lab where Hiro sees people making amazing, revolutionary ideas come to life. He's mesmerised by all of it. Tadashi introduces him to his four friends. Later he sees what his brother had been working on. Baymax, a medical robot (or as Hiro describes it "a fat nurse") this bot was programmed to start up when it senses the word "ouch". It can perform scans in seconds, give all your hormone levels and give you instant relief from pain. It was made to save millions of lives. 

Hiro, all pumped up and inspired, decides to give robotics centre a try. But to get in, he would have to blow away Mr. Callahan, the head of Robotics. After weeks of hard work Hiro makes a new microbot system that is controlled by a cerebral remote. It has the ability to make any thing as long as you can imagine it. Callahan is impressed and Hiro gets into the university. As Tadashi and Hiro go to an old building to talk about Hiro's future, a fire breaks out in the university. Tadashi gets to know that Callahan is still inside and goes to save him. None of them return. 

Tadashi's death leaves Hiro shaken. One day, he finds Baymax and starts getting back on his feet. With the help of Baymax, Hiro learns that there was something wrong with his microbot as it was getting attracted to a strong force. Following it, the two of them reach and old warehouse where they find this masked person controlling millions of microbots. Saving themselves in the nick of time, Hiro realises that someone had stolen his microbots. 

So, he starts transforming Baymax and makes him more agile and fight worthy. With more help from Tadashi's friends, Hiro hopes to get to the bottom of this. What he doesn't know is a shocking turn of events in store for him down this lane. Will he get his bots back? Will he be willing to pay the price of going too far? 

A cute 21st century movie, Big Hero 6 has some of the best animations and characters. Baymax is probably the cutest robot you'll ever find. All the chases and action, the climax, it all builds up perfectly. Another must watch from my side.
