BIG HERO 6 [2014]

Disney finally milks the inevitable cashcow of using their ownership of Marvel and developing an animated film, based on the little known mini-series Sunfire & Big Hero 6.
The Disney-ized version of Big Hero 6 is notably cuter and not really at all like it's source material but still follows it's basic idea and characters, excluding Silver Samurai (who mostly sort of appeared in 2013's The Wolverine instead).  The changes will probably tick-off hardcore fans of the comics but, really, it's for the better because there's almost next to nothing wrong with this wonderfully crafted film.  It's cleverly tight pacing, refreshingly unique backdrop and beautifully rendered animation all compliment the big ol' heart that will touch even the oldest of souls.
