Critics Consensus

Agreeably entertaining and brilliantly animated, Big Hero 6 is briskly-paced, action-packed, and often touching.

The oversized and awkward, cute and caring Baymax could easily be the preferred stocking stuffing this Christmas.

What you might not have heard before is the way this film laces that basic story with beautiful themes that push back against some of the assumptions of the genre.

The film deals in a subtle and moving way with grief and teenage anxiety while serving up all the thrills of a big-budget animated movie with superhero protagonists.

Rated: 4/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Brimming with fun humor, busy action, and imaginative science, what really wins is the story and Disney picked a winner.

Rated: 4/5

Dynamic Duel Podcast

While a very loose adaptation of the comics, the film presents a fun, scientific approach to superheroics alongside a heartfelt story about coping with loss.

Rated: 4.5/5

[It] is an adaptation of a Marvel Comics title but the filmmakers thoroughly transform it into a Disney feature, complete with issues of loss and family at the center of the creation of a student superhero team...

J’adore ce film ! J’adore Baymax ! L’histoire est touchante avec une bonne dose d’action. Le personnage de Hiro traverse une épreuve douloureuse mais elle lui permet de grandir en étant entouré de ses amis mais surtout de Baymax ! La scène de Baymax « bourré » est probablement ma scène préférée, tout Disney confondu.

Anime, Miracolous & Amazing. FACT: This was the first Marvel movie I saw in theaters (since I learnt its origins) before "Deadpool & Wolverine". It is fun with its well fitting cast, characters who are likeable: Fred is goofy, Honey Lemon is popping, Gogo is a mood, Hiro is clever for his age & Baymax is very reliable. Hire was clever for his age since he managed to show us microbots (size of a handul) that could combine together to big things that could win over you. And it portrays things being led under bad people do bad things, as learnt from "How to Train Your Dragon 2" (another movie as awesome as this). Baymax was awesome, hilarious, a good species of AI. I think he was where Tadashi lived on when he believed he was not gone. He would sacrifice his life just to save the ones he was close to but he soon came back, just like Nimona. Whether are a comic/movie nerd or not, find it & watch it. This was "K-Pop Demon Hunters" before there "K-Pop Demon Hunters"

This is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen. The moment Baymax entered the screen he immediately stole my heart. The cast was great, the story was compelling and oddly intense, and the animation was absolutely beautiful. This is definitely up there with some of the better superhero movies I've seen. I definitely recommend it!
