An average movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. Back then, when this movie was released, Disney was going through another renaissance and even though it is quite unlikely that they will top soon the popularity of 'Frozen', they continued their winning strike with this movie which was very well received and which was another success at the box-office. With this in mind, I had some rather high expectations but, to be honest, I had some rather mixed feelings about the whole thing. I mean, sure, it looked really amazing and, nowadays, Disney has managed to pretty much reach the level of their colleagues of Pixar in this area. On top of that, Baymax was just awesome, easily one of the best characters created by Disney. And yet, I wasn't completely blown away though. The main issue I had is that even though the story had some really nice moments here and there and, a few times, I thought it was finally starting to really take off but, unfortunately, it never really reached its full potential. Indeed, in my opinion, the story was not really strong, in fact, I thought it was really too similar to 'How to train your dragon', already a decent but also seriously overrated animated feature. Basically, if you would remove Baymax, none of the other characters were really interesting or entertaining and the story in general turned out to be fairly generic and predictable. Anyway, to conclude, even though I was expecting more, I have to admit that it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
