Loosely based on Marvel Comics characters, Big Hero 6 (Disney Animation) soars as high as Up, features the best team of superheroes since The Incredibles and gives the audience its biggest cry since Toy Story 3. Big Hero 6 also has a villain scary enough to rival Maleficent (the animated one, sorry Angelina), parents should be aware of this.
Brothers Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter) and Tadashi (voiced by Daniel Henney) live in the city of San Fransokyo with Aunt Cass (v b Maya Rudolph), who raised the boys after their parents died. Boy genius Hiro, who graduated high school at 13, builds bots for fighting. Big brother Tadashi is enrolled at San Fransokyo Tech where his creation, Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit), is a cuddly high tech health care companion who looks like a giant marshmallow.
Hiro meets Tadashi's classmates, including Go Go (voiced by Jamie Chung), Wasabi (voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.), Honey Lemon (voiced by Genesis Rodriguez), and mascot Fred (voiced by T. J. Miller) in the campus "nerd lab," and is wooed to compete in a science showcase that could get him into the tech college at 14. His Microbots invention is a hit. But tragedy strikes and Tadashi is killed in a fire, along with inventor and professor Callaghan (voiced by James Cromwell).
Baymax helps to lift Hiro out of his funk. Then Hiro discovers that his Microbots have been commandeered by a Kabuki-masked evildoer and he finds a new purpose in life. Teaming up with Baymax, Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred, Hiro sets out to save mankind. Big Hero 6 is big on laughs, which will surely appeal to fans of Guardians of the Galaxy. It is also as touching as Wall·E, albeit much more violent. The delightful Disney short Feast, featuring the well-fed Boston Terrier Winston, precedes Big Hero 6.
