SYNOPSISI :
Teen prodigy Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) is struggling to find his purpose after
graduating high school at age 13. By day he designs and builds microbots, by night he pits
them in shady backroom battles.
When Hiros brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney,X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is killed in
a horrific explosion, he finds comfort in a newfound friendship with his brothers invention
an inflatable personal healthcare companion (Scott Adsit, 30 Rock). Designed to be a nurse
robot, Hiro quickly discovers that Baymax is capable of far more than that.
Still mourning the loss of his brother, Hiro soon finds himself in the clutches of a criminal
plot that is intent on destroying the lush environs of San Fransokyo, a curious hybrid of a city
that blends San Francisco and Tokyo together.
Demonstrating a sense of courageous bravery well beyond his years, Hiro enlists the
help of Baymax and four of his brothers former lab partners to thwart the sinister plan and
save their city. Along for the ride is impeccable neat freak Wasabi (Damon Wayans, The
Other Guys), adrenaline junkie Go Go (Jamie Chung, Grown Ups), chemistry wunderkind
Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez, Identity Thief), and ultimate comic book fan Fred (T.J.
Miller, Yogi Bear). Together, this unlikely group comprises the super hero crime-fighting
unit Big Hero 6.
THE GOOD AND BED :

In the spirit of Olaf the snowman from Disneys super successful 2013 holiday
release Frozen, directors Hall and Williams have created a character that is an animated
superstar in the making. The gentle Baymax is instantly lovable for his gentle mannerisms,
razor-sharp comedic timing, and sidesplitting physical presence.
Many scenes are uproariously funny as Baymax tries to squeeze through small spaces
intended for humans only, not a 10-foot tall inflatable robot with the girth of an NFL
offensive lineman. In one of the funniest scenes of the movie, when his batteries run low the
compassionate robot experiences a partial deflation that reduces him to a giddy, mind-altered
mess.
Faith-based audiences will be thrilled with several themes that find their roots in the
Bible from the opening scene that features many David and Goliath overtones to a climactic
sequence near the movies end depicting the deepest example of sacrificial love. Big Hero
6 is rife with emotional moments that encourage the viewer to seek out the goodness of
humanity rather than its dark adversary.
Big Hero 6 is visually stunning as well. Beginning with the vividly produced
backdrops of San Fransokyo, complete with a Golden Gate-styled bridge with Japanese
architectural touches, the movie is a true melding of eastern and western cultures.
Furthermore, it does a tremendous job of incorporating older styled animation with the CGIinfused stylings of today.
From a negative standpoint, the kabuki-masked villain might be a little too evil
looking for some children. The villains malevolent nature might be too intense for those
under the age of seven.
For the most part, Big Hero 6 steers clear of any rude humor with the exception of one
character remarking that he never changes his undergarments. In addition, there is a scene
depicting underwater peril following a car crash.
