When my students told me about "Big Hero 6" a few years ago, I thought it was the dumbest idea. I mean come on, it's a healthcare robot turned super hero. It's an odd idea, but in practice it ends up being a really fun and the movie is really more about a young man processing his grief after the death of his brother. It's the kind of movie that basically screams for a sequel.
No luck on the sequel. Instead, they launched an animated T.V. series. We bought the first season and it's about what I expected. The animation quality is less, and the writing is...different. Many of the character nuances are preserved and it's still a lot of fun.
We'll see how it goes.
(I can't believe they brought back Yama.)
