There is a reason Big Hero 6 keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Big Hero 6 from the crowd. A special bond develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax, and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes. Between them, Scott Adsit and Ryan Potter carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was released in 2014. Big Hero 6 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Big Hero 6 is a strong candidate. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Scott Adsit anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
