Synopsis of Big Hero 6

Big Hero 6 is an excellent Disney animated movie set in a fictional metropolis called San
Fransoskyo. Hiro is a 14-year-old boy with a gift for robotics. His parents are deceased, so Hiro
lives with his older brother and their aunt. Hiro’s brother tries to redirect Hiro’s talents into
something constructive. He inspires Hiro to join the university’s robotics program, but a
mysterious accident kills the brother in a fire. The only surviving remnant of Hiro’s brother is a
creation called Baymax, an inflatable robot built as a healthcare companion. Convinced his
brother’s death wasn’t an accident, Hiro turns the huggable Baymax into a fighting machine. He
also enlists the help of his brother’s four friends. Hiro learns he needs to use his talents for the
good of others rather than personal gain, but before he learns this he does participate in illegal
gambling of underground robot fighting. Hiro is transitioning from boyhood to manhood, and
with that comes all complications of discovering who you are, who you want to be and even the
awkward stages of puberty.

Big Hero 6 is a delightful, charming movie. The positive messages are abundant and include
helping others, courage and selflessness. They are combined with some heavier themes and plot
elements, including death, revenge and even puberty. The overall result is positive, however, and
should spark some good conversation, but caution for younger children is warranted. Big Hero 6
is meticulously well crafted, entertaining and emotionally powerful.
