Trivia

Also in Fred's room is the "escape pod" which Wreck-It Ralph (2012) uses in Hero's Duty. It can be seen in one of the cylinder glass cases on the back. See more »

Goofs

What type of item gets sucked in to the portal or not is very inconsistent. Some items are sucked in with great force while similar items in the same shot are not affected. The team hides behind a piece of debris that doesn't seem different from the debris being sucked in to the portal, and not only is it motionless but it seems to shield them from the effects of the portal. They can behave normally without any noticeable force acting on them. Earlier, Hiro was not shielded from the effects of the portal even though he was indoors (he was drawn up against the ceiling by the upward force) and much farther away from the portal. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Ringleader: The winner, by total annihilation - Yamaaaa!
Yama: Who's next? Who has the guts to step into the ring, with Little Yama...
Hiro: Can I try? I have a robot. I built it myself.
Yama: [laughs raucously]

Beautifully animated and fun filled family adventure
25 February 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Disney has brought many gifts and rarely disappoints me. Big Hero 6 is one of the best Disney films I have seen since last year's Frozen. This film is fun, clever, imaginative, and filled with spectacle. While the film is somewhat similar to Pixar's The Incredibules due the film's plot dealing with robots and and children with superpowers, it is very enjoyable and would easy please children as well as parents.

Big Hero 6 is not only brings out the charm with heart-filling characters and comic relief but has some of the most dazzling CGI I have seen in a Disney movie. The animators did a fantastic job on the character models and the environment was nice looking. My favorite character would probably be Baymax. What's not to like about a funny, inflatable robot who cracks funny one-liners,has the power to heal, and assists Hiro (main character) on his quest to defeat an evil scientist?

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this movie. I recommend this movie to all parents and children. Big Hero is a family thrill ride!!!
