It took eight years to expand the universe created Big Hero 6film released in 2014. Baymax!, a series designed to explore the daily life of the character that gave the title to the content. True to its tradition, this type of story allows Disney tell more than just a story; they are used to paint the world and explore part of the human condition and the context it is in.
Although it would be worth checking Big Hero 6 To know the history of Baymax in detail, this series goes on its own. It’s not hard to see why things. While this might lead us to think it’s simple, the opposite is true: it’s because of its narrative simplicity that it’s solid. A) Yes, this prevents the viewer from entering the gardens or paying attention to aspects that are not of interest to the narrator. This means that it can be content for all audiences: both the smallest and those who are older will like it.
Baymax! offers a series of capsules about various aspects of life, told simply and emotionally, but not trite or simplistic. In this way, various themes and stories can be touched upon, which will later be combined at the end of the series. He offers a dialogue between artificial intelligence and humanity that can be understood as futuristic, without leaving aside the significance of feelings in this process: perhaps one and the other will always need each other.
Baymax! and diversity
A lady stuck in her memories. A chef who clings to a family tradition. The cafe manager she doesn’t want to neglect. A teenage girl is having her first period. Wild and hungry cat. Other stories that later come together from a common point: Baymax and his interest in helping them, looking after their health.
The robot goes through life attentively to any complaint that can be interpreted as a physical or emotional failure. Then there is the need to scan, propose a solution, and make sure the person follows it. This attitude, at some point obsessive, allows us to discover different aspects of modern life. When they are treated coldly, they understand that there is no point in putting work above personal well-being; that mental health has the same impact as physical health, if they can be separated; that sometimes a misunderstood tradition becomes more of a burden than an opportunity.
Through their deeds Baymax! explores these ideas with a focus on older people, the community LGTBIC+, in the relationship of mother and child, in the space that is given to the little things in everyday life; like a cat hiding under the counter. Each theme and character is a vehicle that leads the observer in a clear direction: a review of aspects of his life, driven by the robot and the reactions of those around him.
Dialogue between the parties
The most difficult case, among all of the above, is when Baymax! must help the cat that swallowed the earpiece. Without cause or communication means to build bridges, this case can be read symbolically. At times, humanity as a species may not appreciate its ability to think and manifest what is in its head.
However, you can trust; Even if it’s an animal. It’s normal that many people find in their pets a space of trust, a being beyond circumstance. This is another one of the features Baymax!: Despite the fact that this is a series about artificial intelligence, it does not leave aside the main interests of humanity and what makes it special.to the point of being fascinated by a machine that apparently does not convey any emotion, the one that moves human beings.
Baymax! It’s available from June 29 on the Disney+ platform.
