7. Big Hero 6

Walt Disney Animation have been on quite the winning streak over the last few years from both a critical and commercial standpoint and while they generally don't make sequels to a lot of their movies, the ending of Big Hero 6 seemed to blatantly set up further adventures for the titular team.

Action-packed, vibrant, set in a unique location, full of heart and with a hugely marketable figure in the form of Baymax, an animated superhero franchise is a fresh concept in a world of largely cut-and-paste family fare. Especially given the Marvel connection, which wasn't leaned on too heavily but did go so far as to feature a post-credits cameo from Stan Lee.

After grossing $657.8m at the box office and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, directors Don Hall and Chris Williams expressed definite interest in making a sequel. Disney instead decided to make the follow-up a television series that brings back the majority of the movie's voice cast, but it still feels as though Big Hero 6 would be better off continuing on the big screen.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
