Short. Whiz kid loses someone close to him and inherits a medical robot, along with a bunch of nerd geniuses, and they have to save the world. Reminiscent of every other nerd and robot movie ever made - but well paced like any Pixar flick, funny and charming, very watchable. I saw it in 3D. It wasn't particularly great on it, IMHO. But I got to try the new recliner chairs at the Royal. P.O.S.H. -> POSH!
The voice actors are negligible. San Fransokyo is really amusing - best sci-fi/fantasy depiction of SF since Star Fleet Academy. Lots of gaping plot holes, and T and I both predicted the mcguffin from way out, but it is very colorful and distractingly charming, so who really cares about plot? Lite family-friendly humor. I know, I know, I've said I'm done with superhero movies, but this one may well have brought me back into the fold.
The robot BayMax is unbelievably cute. I just wanted to hug it.
No spoilers. You don't need them as this is Pixar at it's most predictable. No swordfights but there is some Kung Fu (mislabeled Karate sadly). No Bollywood dance numbers but it's still super colorful, especially the transporter dimension.

PS: The preceding Pixar short Feast is super duper cute. Outrageously cute. So cute, I got me all misty. And it's about a dog.
