Big Hero 6
Academy Award × 1
Rent/Purchase
A special bond develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax, and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes.
What critics thought
Critics landed firmly on the positive side, with Baymax singled out almost universally as the film's secret weapon — a character whose warmth carries the emotional weight that the action sequences alone couldn't. The main reservation reviewers voiced was that the superhero origin-story structure is well-worn and the film never pretends otherwise, though most found the execution entertaining enough to forgive the familiarity.
“The breakthrough star of the season is here. His name is Baymax and he's impossible not to love. The 3-D animated Big Hero 6 would be a ton less fun without this irresistible blob of roly-poly, robot charisma.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Clever, colorful, fast on its feet, frequently very funny and sweet (but not excessively so), Big Hero 6 mixes its myriad influences into a final product that, while in no way original, is immensely entertaining.”
Soren Anderson·The Seattle Times
“the best animated film of the year, supplying The Incredibles-size adventure with a level of emotional bonding not seen since The Iron Giant”
Jon Niccum·The Kansas City Star
“Marvel plus Disney plus John Lasseter equals an enjoyable jumble of kid-approved action”
