This movie is going to inspire a lot of youngins to get into robotics. I’m not a robotics guy myself (though I have a great interest in Human Computer Interaction) but I totally want to be Fred sitting in and making crazy suggestions. It’s almost enough to make me want to go back to school (and I hate what school has become in America). Big Hero 6 was a fun ride. Though it differed greatly from the source material, I enjoyed it. The beginning, mostly. After a while, you realized you were definitely in a Disney movie and not a Marvel production.

Girl Up. The movie has a great cast of characters that should help improve the huge gaps of various demographics in Science and Tech. The film missed the opportunity to nail the point that if these minorities aren’t in the industry to build what their peoples/cultures need, then no one’s going to build it for them. That’s the point I always make to people…think about the apps you use and then think about the people who build those apps. If you want something built, get to it. Make your world.

San Fransokyo was so f*ing cool. They even got the baylights in! Basically, they made San Francisco with a bunch of Japanese aspects. I love watching films at locations where I’ve been. It gives you an even greater emotional connection and wonderment. Even in animation. Maybe even more, actually.
