Big Hero 6

PG

Running Time: 1 Hour and 48 Minutes

This is the story of a fourteen year old boy who is a genius named Hiro. He lives in San Fransokyo with his brother Tadashi and his aunt. It is a futuristic city part San Francisco and part Tokyo. He was orphaned as a young child and he is obsessed with technology. Technology is his escape and his way of coping with the tragic loss of his parents.
His brother Tadashi attends college and takes a course where he invents things. He has five schoolmates that invent as well. Tadashi surprises Hiro one day when he brings him to class and introduces him to his friends and also a robot he has invented. This is not your average run of the mill robot. He is an unusual robot named Baymax. He is a large white balloon type of robot who is created to check on humans and their medical condition. He is a nice and kind, thoughtful type of a robot. When an unfortunate accident takes place, his brother Tadashi is killed and Hiro is even more alone! He isolates himself and refuses to leave his room. He is distraught and very sad and lonely when suddenly Baymax comes to life. Baymax is kept in a small suitcase type of holder with a battery to inflate and charge him. He befriends young Hiro and they start to form a bond.
His late brother Tadashi's friends rally around Hiro and try to help him. When they find out that there is an evil and sinister villain who contributed to Tadashi's death, they form a super-hero group and are determined to take him down.
This is actually a Marvel comic book super-hero first for Disney. The first time time they have tried an animated super-hero movie and it works!
This was a very sweet story with amazing technology and graphics. This is a movie that the whole family will enjoy.  When you see this movie, be sure and stay till after the credits roll, there is a great scene at the end that you don't want to miss!
Parents be advised: the evil guy wears a scary mask and he is intimidating. He has a strange power that might be too much for small ones. I am recommending this movie for children ages five and over.
I am giving  "Big Hero 6" four bags of popcorn.
