A robotics prodigy grieving his brother's death assembles a makeshift team, led by a soft, inflatable healthcare robot named Baymax, to confront the person responsible. Don Hall and Chris Williams's 2014 film sets its Marvel-derived plot in a hybrid San Francisco-Tokyo city and keeps its emotional focus on loss rather than spectacle.
In a hidden Colombian valley, the Madrigal family's magic house grants every grandchild a power except Mirabel, who sets out to learn why the magic is failing. Directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard built the story from a research trip through Colombia, with Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs doing the work of introducing a dozen major characters.
Rapunzel escapes her tower with the help of a fleeing thief, and the film blends painterly computer animation with a straightforward fairy-tale plot. Directors Byron Howard and Nathan Greno's 2010 film, the most expensive animated feature made at the time, marked Disney's title change from Rapunzel to something less overtly a princess story.
