The Music Of Strangers stars former child prodigy and accomplished Chinese American Cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, plus other international artists. In The Music Of Strangers, they come together and discuss music and culture.
I of course already know what music and art mean to me. With The Music Of Strangers, I’ll hopefully end up with a greater understanding of what music and art mean for culture and other people. Especially those from different places and experiences compared to myself.
Big Hero 6 is a fun animated action/adventure film that features interesting characters, beautiful visuals and the most adorable cuddly robot, Baymax. Or, as the marketing team behind the movie has said, ‘a plus-sized inflatable robot.’
This new Walt Disney Animations release centres around 14-year-old robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada – and the relationships/events in his life that lead to the point where he forms a superhero team to fight against a masked villain.
My favourite thing about the movie is, of course, Baymax; particularly his beauty, both inside and out.
I’m certainly no prodigy of any kind, but Big Hero 6 did have me thinking about how best to apply my own passion, skills and talents.

Hiro’s general cleverness and how that aspect of his character is revealed to the audience more than once is a definite highlight. Also, I may have fallen a little bit in love with Tadashi, the big brother character. How could one not? He’s probably the best big brother any 14-year-old boy, or anyone for that matter, could ever wish for.
Watch it for a great Oscar-winning animated adventure. Then join me and all the other fans in looking forward to the sequel, because surely it’s inevitable, right? And because we absolutely want it.
