Anybody can be a hero. If pop culture has taught us anything, it's that. They can be found in the unlikeliest, most inconspicuous of places. And when we meet them, they may not know it themselves, but they've got the heart of a hero.
Ordinary people, extraordinary circumstances. That's what forges a hero. Here's looking at a few heroes we least expected...

Baymax: Marvel releases it's first animation flick Big Hero 6 this week. But it takes a wide departure, turning kid genius Hiro's transforming bodyguard robot Baymax into a clumsy, oversized, inflatable Marshmellow Man-like robot, whose primary function is care-giving. So much so, it sees the battle-loving Hiro as it's patient!

Rocket Raccoon: He's puny, but he's got a mean bite and bark. He looks like a sidekick himself, but try telling him that and see what happens. And in the tall, wooden Groot, he's got muscle! Just goes to show, size doesn't matter. He's got courage, but also the smarts and knows when to back away from a fight.

Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph didn't ask to be a villain. As a video game character, he didn't have much of a say in the matter, really. That's just a job. A part he plays. But as he grows tired of the routine and being left out of fun activities, he sets off on a hero's journey to find a place he belongs.

Kick-Ass: Everybody may want to put on a cape or a mask and fight criminals and other assorted villains. But is that enough...just the right intentions? Kick-Ass is just that kind of non-powered somebody who wants to clean up his city. But is he up for the task? Or is he going to get his a** handed to him? I think we all know that answer.

Wall-E: The last robot on earth, ironically, is also clinging on whatever little of humanity was left over after Earth went on to become a huge garbage bin. This primitive (by the film's present-day standards) piece of technology still has more heart than those more technologically advanced than him.

Shaun: Almost everybody dislikes Shaun. His stepfather, one of his roommates, and his girlfriend's best friends... But he couldn't care less. The hero of Shaun Of The Dead prefers the company of his best buddy Ed and the Winchester, his favourite watering hole. As he gets up one morning to find his world gone to the zombies, he sets out to save those dearest to him from the undead and get them to the Winchester. Just another day?

Oscar: Nobody takes Oscar seriously. Like seriously. Nobody. But the hero of Shark Tale is shown him having a chance meeting with a shark who wants out of the family business (sharks have mobs, too?) has him come up with a scheme where said shark plays dead and Oscar claiming to have killed him (due to a misunderstanding of course) and nobody bothers to check facts. Like that sounds impossible, right?

Dory: Is she amnesiac? Does she have an attention-deficit disorder? All of the above? Well, whatever this fish from Finding Nemo and the just-announced Finding Dory had, she was sweet, kind, lovable, cheery and good-hearted. Nothing fazed her, except the part where she didn't remember stuff, I guess...

Mike Wazowski: He's a round, green ball of slime, but Mike wants to be more. So much more. He's the little guy who puts in that extra effort, that push, but it seemingly never isn't enough. With the hulking Sulley for a friend

Frodo Baggins: As a Hobbit, adventure should have been far from Frodo's mind, but when it comes calling, he realises that the adventurous streak runs in his family. As the keeper of the One Ring, he must go where no Hobbit has gone before and fight temptation at the same time. Tough calling...

Russell: The portly pre-teen who's a cub-scout who's looking to earn his next badge is a persistent little kid. The surly old Carl wants to be by himself, but Russell won't take no for an answer. And when Carl decides to go for an unscheduled trip, he tags along. And somewhere along the way teaches the old man a thing or two about how to live.
