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...

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!

Why does this movie have to be so god dang sad.. (the reason for the 4.5 ⭐️) the end makes it better and the fact he remembered him and they all got to do what they do best like nothing ever happened, just tugs at your heart strings 😫

This movie was good. It had heart and a good story. It's characters were great here, but were vastly and awe-inspiringly expanded upon in Big Hero 6 the Series. This movie deserves a sequel, or another sequel show that ties into/mentions BH6 the Series (and for the IDW comics to return). The storytelling was good, and I still think so about 10 years later. And the fact that this is marvel makes it so much cooler! It's in the marvel multiverse (it's adapted from the marvel comics team), and is set on the Earth number 14123 starting in the year 2032. This movie and its TV shows were overall great. I hope this franchise continues. This movie doesn't need the live-action treatment it needs the more respect treatment in the form of sequels/tie ins. While the worldbuilding is touched upon too much in the movie, it is in the TV shows, comics, and movie tie-in material. While Tumblr and fanfiction give the franchise a moderate amount of love, Big Hero 6 needs more love from Disney. They should cameo in Avengers Secret Wars. So overall a nice movie. I recommend it.
