November 2014 – Ms. Silver Screen

Researchers have conducted studies in the past that revealed evidence that says roundness equals cuteness. That may be one of the reasons why Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit) — the loveable Personal Healthcare Companion — from BIG HERO 6 is so darn adorable. It could also be his total lack of street smarts, his dopey robotic voice, or his interpretation of the sound it makes when one explodes a fistbump.
