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...

Even 10 years later, it hits different. The amount of emotion between a sentient teen and a big marshmello looking robot is absolutely insane. Best movie of 2014, go watch. 10/10

A decent collaboration between Disney Animation and Marvel Studios. The action scenes and art design are pretty strong. Baymax is adorable and easily steals the show. However, The rest of the characters are fairly unmemorable (not exactly bland, but not exactly enticing either). The tragedy with the brother tugs at your heartstrings, but it's sadly undermined by the twist villain's missed potential where his feelings on all of this go completely out of character just for the sake of evil instead of applying more nuance and humanity to make him more of a misguided figure than true villain given the setup they gave us. It makes the climax messy and really bogs down an otherwise entertaining movie. I still enjoy the movie, but it feels like it needed another rewrite to really let these characters leap from the page (aside from you Baymax, you're perfect!).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
