It wasn't as good as the Lego Movie, but it was very good
There were more jokes in the Lego Movie, but more heart in Big Hero 6 (IMO). Lovely movie.

Hey. New board.
Absolutely true. But it wasn't as good at heart as Lego was at funny. Or maybe there is just more competition in the animated heart space. Big Hero 6 fell squarely in the Pixar competitive zone, and held up well but didn't crush it; it felt kind of like a Finding Nemo / Incredibles combo, which is very high praise as those are my two favorite Pixar movies, but it didn't exceed them. Lego was competing with... Shrek, I guess? Kind of the South Park movie but more kid friendly? Honestly, it felt like nothing I had seen and knocked being whatever it was out of the park.
But as I said, I will be buying BH6 on bluray because even slightly derivative (in a good way!) fun heart is infinitely rewatchable. And maybe Calvin will give me a break from Cars if we have it readily available.

SIGH. "Wanting" actually. Sometimes Swype just really gets nuts.
Of course, one of my friends almost always says "you bet" in chat, and his phone always tries to autocorrect it to "you bitch." He's warned everyone, but I think his phone is trying to get him divorced.

We watched The Boxtrolls last night, and it was adorable! The character design was amazing, and Nick Frost and Richard Ayoade make wonderful henchmen who aren't sure they want to be evil.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, wow. I haven't seen the movie, but they really would, wouldn't they?
