Bored teenager in the near future spends his time at backroom robot fights. His brother tricks him into visiting the university robotics lab where he works. The awestruck boy decides to enroll, but first must come up with an invention to impress the professor. He more than succeeds by coming up with "microbots" which he controls with his mind. However, a suspicious fire kills not only the professor and his brother, but all but one of the microbots. The depressed boy activates his brothers project, an inflatable healthcare robot, which leads him to suspect the fire may have not been an accident. The boy and the rest of the students at the university form an impromptu superhero team to track down the person responsible. Fast paced animation with an engaging story and likable characters, especially the bond between the boy, his brother, and the robot named "Baymax". However, it gets carried away a bit in the big action finale, where it succumbs to the expected cliches.
