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...

An absolute classics for families even after decades. Big Hero 6 is not like many heroes based movies I've seen. There are ups and down but there are more ups than down and that's good enough for me. Big Hero 6 leave very memorable movie and I still remember some of the scenes in my head even after years watching the movie.

Far & away one of the best animated films from Disney, BH6 is a triumphant & franchise-worthy film that deserves more sequels than most other films.

THAT WAS HIS MISTAKE If it wasn't for Baymax this movie would legitimately bore me out of my mind. It's really lame as a superhero movie and a Disney movie, and I hate T.J. Miller in this sooooooo much. But y'know it's not awful or anything. Just...10 years behind the curve. Actually, scratch that, Pixar made The Incredibles 10 years before this came out so it's more like 15 or 20 years behind.
