July 7, 2026
Big Hero 6 is a film about a boy named Hiro. He is intelligent, some might argue borderline genius. This young boy tends to get into trouble due to his arrogance. To put it simply, he is bored with everything. It’s all too easy for him.
This all changes when he goes to his brother’s school. This may seem innocent until dire events transpire causing Hiro to lose faith only to have it restored by his brother’s creation, the big, soft healthcare robot Baymax.
This might seem off since many of the trailers showed this robot flying and looking far from his adorable design, but that is because it’s all a part of the story. After a major event Hiro learns of a Kabuki mask wearing villain. He in an effort to stop the bad guys evil plans sets off to try stop him with the help of Baymax and his friends from the school.
From there hilarity and action ensues as each moment delivers its purpose of pulling the heartstrings and engaging the crowd.
In addition to that Big Hero 6 has strong voice acting. Ryan Potter, the voice actor for Hiro, pulls off the age of the character with believable skill. He has a good back and forth with Scott Adsit, who voices Baymax. Backing up Potter is a cast of actors whose skills compliment his. These include Jamie Chung, Damon Wayans Jr. and Genesis Rodriguez.
The acting is sprinkled with a great score. Many times the music is pronounced with guitar riffs and drums, others times it’s subtle as the soft taps of a piano hinting at the tension or sorrow of the scene. One of the most notable moments was with the final conflict between Hiro, Baymax and the Kabuki mask wearing villain from the trailers. The music takes on the beat of the fight. Each moment is guided by the damage and the music adds tension that makes the viewer root for the heros.
Along with good voice acting and strong screenwriting there is the graphics of the film itself. This film is clearly computer generated. The graphics helped make Baymax’s design more believable. The motions were believable and the hard work that went in to make sure that each movement, impact, and turn was perfect shows.
There aren’t any flaws or glitches to be found. When the characters hug it feels like a solid hug. This says a lot considering many videos can be found where things get lost in the works.
Overall Big Hero 6 is worth your time. People aren’t losing money going to the theatres and it has something for all ages. Whether it be goofiness for the kids, actions for teens or heartfelt moments for adults, no one will be left without something to enjoy.
