Big Hero 6 is charming, effective, never dull, and gets by almost on sheer force of will despite a few minor slip ups.

Identity Thief is a movie so desperate for ideas to pad out it’s running time that there’s actually a scene involving snakes slithering into pants that I suppose the audience is supposed to pretend they haven’t seen a bazillion and one times before.
