Big Hero 6: The Series

When I found out this show was on air I was beyond delighted, I was ecstatic. I love watching the show as it is funny, adventurous and climatic. I hope this series will run for a long time and establish itself as a well loved child-hood show of the generation. The show warms my heart and you will find yourself loving it too.

I was a huge fan of the movie. I would have loved to see another movie and then we got a series, so I was intrigued to see what it'd be like. At first I thought it was weird they switched the animation but I think it works for a Tokyo style comic show that's easier to animate. I think they were really trying to appeal to kids with the series and I think at some points it's more noticeable and kinda hard to watch. I'd say my least favorite part of the show are those annoying lightning dancer villains (if you know you know) and that Fred's stupidity gets tiresome. They could have absolutely done without the dancers it was too cringy. It's a somewhat bearable show that can be interesting at times but there's not much that made me keep watching other than Baymax, Hiro, and go go's necessary pessimism.

Kids have to be realistic here, they can't expect the same animation quality for the series than the movie. Sure, the transition from the CGI of the film to the 2D animation of the series takes a little while to get used to but by the end it flows perfectly. And kids must understand appearance is not the only thing in a movie or a series. Big Hero 6 The Series feels like a sequel, the humor is there, the action is there, and most importantly the heart is there.

This series plots right after the movie. What started in the movie,the series beautifully continues. So many adventures,dramas,actions,emotions are layered with character build up and story telling. This series is so underrated that I am surprised. For me,this couldn't be better.

Please looks through the downgraded animations (that's the one missing star). Although the budget for this series is clearly lower, the voice actors from the movie return and newcomers too are absolutely brilliant. Much more importantly, the overall plot of this arch will blow your mind. While the series itself relies on many tropes it acknowledges it does so and plays with them.

There is little I dislike about the series, it's original, clever and funny. I would even go as far as to say there is some great pedagogic value in this series, and watching it is a rather wholesome experience.

Give this series 3 episodes to prove itself to you. You won't regret it.
