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

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...

I fell asleep watching it but the first half was ok/a bit meh. Bit boring. Can’t see kids enjoying it much. Watched on DVD. Might rewatch some time.

Amazing movie. Can't imagine that it released 10 years ago and I'm only watching it now in 2024. This movie even had a 35 year old on the edge of his seat (me).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
