Hiro Hamada is a 14-year-old robotics genius who lives in
the futuristic city of San Fransokyo and spends his time participating in
back-alley robot fights. His older brother Tadashi, worried that Hiro is
wasting his potential, takes him to the robotics lab at his university, where
Hiro meets Tadashi's friends, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred. It is here
where Hiro first encounters Baymax, a personal healthcare robot created by
Tadashi. Amazed, Hiro decides to apply to the school. In order to apply, he is
required to create a project in order to present at the school's annual
exhibition. He presents his project - microbots, swarms of tiny robots that can
link together in any arrangement imaginable in order to gain admission.
Professor Callaghan, head of the school's robotics program, is impressed, and
Hiro is accepted. When a fire breaks out at the university, Tadashi rushes in to
rescue Callaghan, but the building explodes and both are killed. As a result of
losing his brother, Hiro secludes himself from others.
One day, Hiro accidentally activates Baymax, who follows one
of his microbots to an abandoned warehouse. There, the two discover that
someone has been mass-producing Hiro's bots; they are attacked by a masked man
who is controlling the bots. Realizing this man has stolen his project, Hiro
decides to catch him, and upgrades Baymax with armor and a battle chip. After
the masked man attacks Hiro, Baymax, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred, the
six form a superhero team.
The group discovers a former lab of Krei Tech, a prestigious
robotics company, that was experimenting with teleportation technology. The
test went awry when the test pilot vanished inside an unstable portal. The
masked man is revealed to be Professor Callaghan, who stole Hiro's bots and
used them to escape the fire. Realizing that Tadashi died in vain, Hiro angrily
removes Baymax's healthcare chip, leaving him with only the battle chip, and
orders him to kill Callaghan. Baymax almost does so until Honey manages to
insert the healthcare chip back in, restoring Baymax. Angry at his friends,
Hiro goes home, and breaks down when Baymax asks him if killing Callaghan will
make him feel better. To soften Hiro's loss, Baymax plays several humorous
clips of Tadashi running tests on him during Baymax's development. Hiro
realizes that killing Callaghan is not what Tadashi would've wanted and makes
amends with his friends.

Ok, I super love Baymax... my hero! LOL! It's a really super cool animation with super cute castings albeit a super simple plot, nothing superficial but yet tender and touching. It is a meaningful movie so not for the tough-hearted. Throughout the movie, I actually laughed about 2/3 from the start but teary eyed towards the ending... I do wish I have my own Baymax.
Rating: 4/5
