37 - Big Hero 6

    A young genius’s brother dies in a fire, leaving behind a medical assistant robot.  The robot is adapted to help the young genius investigate the story behind his brother’s death.
    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more and more annoyed with Disney movies, and with the effect that Pixar animation has had on most animated features.  The character design has gotten really dull - especially the girls.  The animation has reached into an uncomfortable place.  Some of the characters look almost photo-realistic during certain sequences (particularly the villain).  This creates a problem of the movie feeling like it switches between cartoonish animation and a realistic approach.
    There are a few enjoyable bits, mostly with the voice acting for Baymax.  Aside from that, I didn’t have much of a sense of wonder from this.  I found most of the story kind of predictable, most of the humor pretty dull.  It wasn’t offensive, but it seemed like something was lacking.  I don’t know what it was.
