Big Hero 6

2014, Walt Disney Animation

Disney's first Marvel superhero animation was evidently a big gamble for them—and it paid off handsomely, with a $660 million return on a production cost of $165 million. At times a bit predictable, at others far too manic, Big Hero 6 nevertheless delivers enough creative goodness to compensate for its flaws, including a few gags that made me laugh out loud (which, admittedly, can be a serious challenge). For CGI junkies, it benefits technically from a new rendering process that produces strikingly vivid light reflections and surface textures.
