From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind "Frozen" and "Wreck-It Ralph," comes "Big Hero 6," an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada. When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. Determined to uncover the mystery, Hiro transforms his friends into a band of high-tech heroes called "Big Hero 6." Written by

Plot Synopsis:
-------------------

In the city of San Fransokyo (a portmanteau of San Francisco and Tokyo), Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) is a teenage prodigy, but seems to be unable to use his intellect for anything more than trying to enter illegal, back-alley bot-fights.

His older brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) wishes to change Hiro's mind, and tricks his brother into coming to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where Tadashi is a student. While there, Hiro is introduced to a number of Tadashi's 'nerd school' friends: Go Go (Jamie Chung), Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr.), Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), and Fred (T.J. Miller), and the different inventions they have constructed.

Tadashi then shows Hiro his own project: an inflatable 'nurse' robot, named Baymax (Scott Adsit). Thanks to a chip that Tadashi programmed with numerous medical analysis information, Baymax is quite knowledgeable, impressing Hiro. Once he has performed his task, Baymax returns to sleep mode by being told, "I am satisfied with my care."

The three also meet Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell), the head professor of the Institute, and after he compliments Hiro on the miniature battle-robot he's made, Hiro wants to enter the Institute.

Tadashi then encourages his brother to come up with something that will impress Callaghan at the next robotics exhibit coming up. After Tadashi encourages his brother to 'use that big brain of yours,' Hiro then uses the robotic technology in his battle-bot, and crafts them into thousands of micro-bots, controlled by a neural transmitter. Whatever the wearer thinks, the microbots will do.

Needless to say, Hiro's presentation wins over a number of people at the exhibition, even impressing a high-profile technology guru, named Alistair Krei (Alan Tudyk). Alistair offers to purchase Hiro's microbot invention on the spot, but Callaghan claims that Krei is not a trustworthy man with technology. Hiro then declines Krei's request, but is excited when Callaghan presents him with a letter of acceptance to the Institute.

Hiro, Tadashi, and their friends head off to celebrate, but the mood is cut short when a fire erupts within the exhibition hall. With word that Callaghan is still inside, Tadashi rushes into the building to save him. However, as Hiro watches, an explosion rocks the building, blasting him back.

After Tadashi's funeral, Hiro becomes distant from his friends, still working through his grief. His aunt (and guardian) Cass (Maya Rudolph), tries to encourage Hiro to go to the Institute and take advantage of his acceptance letter, but he seems unwilling to do so.

After accidentally hurting himself in his room, Hiro is surprised when Baymax appears. Apparently, Tadashi had brought him back to their shared bedroom before he died. Baymax attempts to help Hiro, who is reluctant to accept it. However, the mood is broken when Hiro finds one of his microbots wriggling in a pocket of his jacket. Putting it in a specimen container, Hiro tries to ignore it, but Baymax notes inquires if he can try to determine where the 'small robot' wishes to go.

Hiro casually affirms this...not realizing that the robot will follow his commands. Chasing him down, Hiro and Baymax find themselves at an old warehouse. Sneaking inside, Hiro is surprised to find a machine churning out similar microbots, with numerous containers filled with them. However, his surprise turns to shock, when a masked man appears, attempting to kill Hiro and Baymax with the miniature robots.

Hiro first goes to the police station to report what he's found, but the officer taking down his story seems reluctant to believe him. It also doesn't help that Baymax's battery starts to run low. Hiro manages to get him home to be recharged. It is then that Baymax inquires where Tadashi is. Hiro attempts to explain to the robot that his brother is 'gone.' When Hiro explains that the fire was an accident, he then begins to wonder, given what he saw today...what if it wasn't, an accident?

Deciding to figure out who has stolen his invention, Hiro decides to upgrade Baymax. After creating a carbon-fiber suit for the robot, Hiro also programs a new chip that includes numerous martial arts moves, inserting it into an additional slot in Baymax's 'heart' drive, right next to Tasashi's chip of Baymax's programming.

The two then return to the warehouse, only to find it empty. However, Hiro notes his microbot has started to move again, and the two follow its movements to the docks off San Fransokyo. However, something pulls the microbot out of the container, and it disappears off into the misty bay. However, moments later, the masked figure appears, using the microbots as a transport means, and carrying a large object with the symbol of a red bird on it.

Hiro is just about to send Baymax to get the masked man, when they are accosted by Hiro's friends. Baymax's invite for them to help cheer up Hiro got through, but just then, the masked man attacks them. The group pile into Wasabi's car, as the masked man gives chase. In the aftermath, the car ends up driving into the bay, but the group is saved by Baymax, who has shed his armor, and helps the group float to the surface.

After getting on land, Fred leads the group to his home...which happens to be a large mansion owned by his parents (who are away).

While recovering, Hiro shows the group the red bird symbol he saw on the piece of machinery to his friends, but none have seen it. The group soon comes to a consensus, that the man may have been behind Tadashi's death, and Fred believes he knows who it is: Alistair Krei. Fred explains that it was Krei who wanted Hiro's microbot technology, and most likely, has gained it at the expense of Tadashi's life.

Baymax also surprises Hiro, when he explains that during the fight, he scanned the masked man, and has information on his health and vitals. Hiro wants to identify where their adversary is, but he would need to scan everyone in San Fransokyo to find out.

The group then decides to band together to stop Krei, with Hiro helping to design them each special suits based on their specific abilities.

Once Hiro has done this, he and Baymax fly up above the city, and scan the city from an aerial fan. Baymax's sensors pick up their adversary's health vitals, coming from an island in the bay.

The group flies there, to find a deserted base. One room shows the twisted metal remains of some machine, with the red bird symbol on it. The group then goes into a control room, where video shows that the room was used for testing a teleportation project, called "Operation: Silent Sparrow."

Suddenly, their masked adversary appears, and the group attempts to take him down, but are completely unsure what to do. Hiro manages to unmask their foe, but instead of finding Krei...he finds Professor Callaghan.

Callaghan explains that in the fire, he managed to use Hiro's microbot technology to shield himself from the explosion. This infuriates Hiro, who demands that Baymax destroy Callaghan. Baymax claims that his programming doesn't allow this, leading to Hiro pulling out the chip Tadashi put in him. The removal of the chip causes Baymax to follow Hiro's orders, and he charges at Callaghan. However, Hiro's friends attempt to stop Baymax, with the robot fighting back at them, before Honey manages to restore Tadashi's chip to his programming.

Callaghan has escaped during the fight, and Hiro demands that Baymax find him, only for the robot to explain that his scanners are damaged. Bent on revenge, Hiro blasts away with Baymax back to the garage. He attempts to update Baymax's programming, but Baymax refuses to open the port where his chip information is.

In desperation, Hiro finally breaks down over the death of his brother, with Baymax countering that, 'Tadashi is here.' As Hiro watches, Baymax projects video of Tadashi's numerous attempts to get him running, with the 84th test being a success, and Tadashi claiming that Baymax is "going to help a whole lot of people."

Hiro's friends eventually return to the garage where he is, and reveal that they have found further footage of the military test. The footage shows Professor Callaghan also at the test area, and reveal his motives behind his actions. During the test, a human test subject was propelled into the portal. However, the portal became unstable, and Krei ordered it shut down. It turns out that the test subject, was Callaghan's daughter, Abigail (Katie Lowes).

The next day, Krei is revealing the opening of a new facility in the heart of San Fransokyo, when Callaghan appears, using the microbots to piece together the last active portal, over Krei's building. Callaghan claims he's going to ruin Krei's life like he ruined his, as the portal comes to life, and starts to tear apart the building, sucking its pieces into the other dimension.

It is then that Hiro and his friends appear, pleading with Callaghan to stop what he's doing, but the former Professor refuses to listen to reason. The group attempts to stop him, but Callaghan uses the microbots to counter their attacks.

During the fight, Hiro notices that the stray microbots are being sucked up into the portal, and he and the rest of the team work to hack away at their structures, until Callaghan is soon down to a bare minimum.

Baymax manages to remove the control mask from him, but once he's done so, notes a faint life signal from within the portal. Even though it is unstable, Hiro and Baymax head into it.

Within the otherworldly atmosphere, they find the test pod, with Abigail inside. Baymax and Hiro then attempt to maneuver her out of the dimension, but a stray piece of debris from Krei's building slams into Baymax, ripping away much of his suit, and rendering his rocket boosters inoperable.

Baymax claims that he can get Hiro and Abigail to safety by using his rocket punch. Hiro doesn't want to lose Baymax, but the robot assures the boy, that he'll "always be with him." Tearfully, Hiro utters "I'm satisfied with my care," and Baymax launches off his rocket fist, getting Hiro and Callaghan's daughter through the portal, just before it tears itself apart.

In the aftermath, Abigail is taken to a hospital, and Callaghan is arrested for his crimes. In the meantime, local news reports on a band of superheroes that saved the city. However, Hiro and his friends celebrate by having some downtime at his Aunt's place.

Shortly afterwards, Hiro starts his classes at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Taking residence in the same lab that Tadashi has, Hiro has brought along the rocket fist Baymax wore...only to find wedged in its closed fist, the green microchip card that Tadashi had put into Baymax.

Hiro manages to rebuild Baymax, and places the chip inside him, embracing his fellow comrade. In the end, we see Hiro, Baymax, and their friends, running through the streets of San Fransokyo, ready to help their city, in any way they can.

Back in 2009, Disney purchased Marvel Comics for four billion dollars. Shocking and surprising the world, many fans of both sides were curious whether Disney would make an animation film based on a group of characters from the comics. Three years later, Director Don Hall approached John Lasseter on making a film with Marvel Characters and found the Big Hero 6, a comic book series that even the most well known of comics didn't know who they were. In fact they were so obscure that Marvel themselves even forgot that they had the characters.

Marvel gave Disney the liberty to change the characters so that they could be seen as a Disney Animation Film. And the result is simply refreshing.

Big Hero 6 is a beautiful film, showcasing how much animation has become. The east and west coast mash up of San Fransokyo combines to make such a spectacular scenery, that the city may as well be a character to the film.

The cast is also fun to watch. One annoyance films try to do is by shoving the diversity of characters in your face. Big Hero 6 doesn't do that, instead the focus is on the characters themselves and not the diversity, making it enjoyable to watch. One of the biggest highlights is the girls of the cast. I took my 3 nieces with my friends and I, and they loved how they were smart, enjoyable and didn't need to fall for a man. The cast is truly relatable, whether you are precise like Wasabi, positive like Honey Lemon or just a guy who loves media like Fred.

Of course the star of the film is the robot of Baymax. Any scene that he is in steals the show, whether it is his introduction or his care for Hiro and Company.

The Villain by far is one of the best villains in recent Disney history, he doesn't sing, dance or monologue, he simply gets the job done.

The film showcases the action greatly by giving large scopes and music that fits exceptionally well. Emotionally, the film captures the audience by showcasing the bond of brotherhood between Hiro and his older brother Tadashi, as well as his friend Baymax who is like a Surrogate brother to our main hero.

A strong lesson in this film, is that family can be more than blood related, you have friends, who become part of that. That really showed how much I cared for the loved ones around me, especially my older brother who is in the military, creating robots and fixing medical equipment.

If there was one complaint I would give, I would've like to see a little bit more about the rest of the team. Other than that, Big Hero 6 is a heartwarming tale that captures something for the entire family.

Big Hero 6 is another showing that Disney can continue to make great films after the juggernaut that was Frozen. This film showcases that the Disney Revival (Films such as The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Wreck-it-Ralph and Frozen) is not over yet, and I cannot wait to see what the next film has to offer.

To be honest, when I saw the preview I thought it was going to be another Disney movie gone bad. So when the movies came around, I had really low expectations for it. But holy crap nothing has made me laugh this hard at a movie since maybe Amelie or Up! Baymax is a non-threatening huggable robot who's only purpose is to nurse those who are in need of medical attention. The only way to wake him up is to scream out "OW" and he is alive and will help you until you are better. The only way to put him back to sleep is to say "I'm satisfied with your work" (Or something like that I'm only paraphrasing) and he has gone back to sleep. But this movie isn't all comedy: it does have a bit of an emotional side to it which I won't go into too much detail about. However I do know that the movie isn't really like the comic books: the back stories of the characters aren't how they are in the movie and even the plot itself isn't like how the movie is, so for the devoted comic book fans, I understand if you hate this movie. However the people who didn't read the comics confuse me when they say it's "Cliche" "awful" "boring". I found none of these things in the movie at all. I was smiling right from the beginning and found myself a little teary-eyed towards the end.

So I do recommend this movie if you're up for a nice light movie with a lot of laughs: it might be better than you think.

Contains spoilers, pass this review if you don't want to see any spoilers, such as end scenes and more.

I actually wasn't planning to watch this particular movie, until my friends told me it was a good movie and that I should watch it.

I decided to try it and see how it goes. I instantly fell in love with Baymax. He's huggable and simply adorable. Along with that, he's a HEALTHCARE companion! It was certainly a HILARIOUS movie, and I enjoyed every last bit of it.

I love how that Hiro, originally a boy who was interested only in bot fights, decides to do something big- starting with joining the nerd lab. There. he meets people like Wasabi, Fred, Go-Go, and more.

This movie also played with your emotions. And no, not just a little bit, but a lot. Disney seriously did a good job doing that. This movie was one of those that actually almost made me cry. Near the end, Baymax had supposedly "died" and that made me very emotional. I was so happy that at the end, Hiro managed to make another Baymax using the chip the original Baymax had left behind.

All I have to say is that this movie is definitely one worth watching, especially if you like humorous animated films.

I have been a lifelong Disney fan, and make a habit to see any new releases from Disney. After hearing many positive things about Big Hero 6, I was eager to see it. However, I tend to proceed with caution on many new Disney movies because I know that the quality will likely not be on par with the classics. This movie proved to be an exception.

I found all of the characters in this movie to be wonderful and well-developed, even the supporting characters. Hands down, Hiro, Tadashi, and Baymax are the most memorable, and the watching the film will make you become attached to these characters. Only Disney could cause you to feel attached to a robot, and they hit that nail on the head.

The storyline is very unique and original, even though it is loosely based off of the "Big Hero 6" comic from Marvel. The many plot twists will leave you wondering what is yet to come. In addition, this movie highlights the struggles of overcoming grief from the loss of a loved one. As this is something that many viewers have experienced, you will probably find yourself feeling emotional and will be able to relate to the feelings of most of the characters (especially Hiro).

Big Hero 6 brings us back to the magic that many recent Disney films have been lacking. This movie is definitely not just for little kids. I'm 19 years old and loved this movie, and my parents AND grandparents greatly enjoyed this movie as well. I hope Disney learns from the success of this movie and continues to produce wonderful films. It is perfect for the whole family to enjoy!

Im more of a renter then a movie goer, and i watched this movie right after watching Interstellar, so i will always remember this sequence as probably one of the most satisfying weeks of watching new movies. The movie is well balanced (besides having no romance whatsoever), suspenseful, unpredictable, action packed, innovative, touching (even tear jerking) and beautifully presented with a fantastic ending (always important). There is a little bias, it is set in San Frantokyo and I reside in the bay area so i loved that part (because were kind of the center of the world over here), and its not a first time seeing the idea since they did something similar in Cloudy 2, but none the less it was done way better and way less dumbed down.

I won't get too much into the story line, but the ride takes quite a few turns turns. Certain goals are made in the movie and once their met, a sudden turn is taken in an unpredictable way, making it pretty suspenseful. They also make an interesting connection between Hiro, his brother Tadashi, and Tadashi's invention "Baymax", the worlds first robotic health care companion. The other 4 of the 6 don't have the hugest role (similar to How to train a dragon), and their powers aren't amazing either, however, when needed they make a mark in the action scenes and in some of supportive situations as friends. There's no pure evil in the movie, always rationally fueled evil. And the fact that its futuristic, animated and about robotics and inventions, gave the staff plenty of potential for innovation and they did a great job with it.

Once again the movie was so well balanced, and though i could see a girl maybe not liking this because there isn't romance, the connections between brothers and friends, and some of the other family references make it watchable for most people. It should be an additionally exciting watch for the older and perhaps nerdy type who can catch on with some of the technology and subtleties. However, even my GF said that some of the sadder moments were extremely touching. Once again, they use animation and futurism to their advantage with the touching scenes. The first Marvel Animation made under Disney and they start it off with a bang. It wasn't hugely advertised, and there was a large Asian influence on it Hence the city San Frantokyo which might be why it wasn't advertised greatly(Disney tends to do that) but I absolutely love this movie. I rented it again a week later, and i think i will purchase this one for sure (along with interstellar).

Big Hero 6 [2014] is the Disney 3-D animated comedy action film that centers on Hiro Hamada, a 14-year old robotics prodigy, Baymax (an inflatable health companion robot) and an unlikely team of superheros.

5/5 graphics. Big Hero 6 transports viewers into a new visual realm and relatively individual style (besides its anime resemblance). The story is set in the futuristic city of 'San Fransokyo'. A little of Tokyo and San Francisco in one place. This explains the amalgamation of both Japanese and American components within the story and setting. It should be noted that Big Hero 6 is not a wholly original idea, and the animation is inspired by the Marvel comic by the very same name.

Baymax. Voiced by Scott Adsit, this lovable robot is animated to appear soft, cuddly and adorable, credit goes to the graphics and writing team on this one. Hiro's close friendship with Baymax is a highlight. Baymax can hold his own on the screen alone too, just strolling through the city streets, caring for others health and well-being. So yeah, he's cute and he knows it.

Expect to have a couple of teary moments. I won't describe or skim through details, out of utmost respect for those who haven't had a chance to see it yet. Since more serious topics aren't the usual in children targeted animation films, it's a nice change of pace.

Fantastic message for the young'uns. The main character Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter) and the rest of the superheros team study robotics at the local university (including T.J. Miller from Silicon Valley and Damon Wayans Jr from New Girl). Reach your potential, practice non-violence and exercise sacrifice. That's just the tip of the iceberg. There are more spoiler-worthy ones that will be omitted from this review entirely. By the way, it's not 'preachy' in the slightest.

As much as I am shocked like everyone else is, this movie gets too much undeserved hatred. Did I watch the same movie like those who didn't like it did? Was this movie really that horrible or stupid or a "waste of time"? My answer to those questions are: Nope, I don't think so. Are we "really" going to live in a generation where we're supposed to believe that almost every movie that makes today is the same and filled with overused clichés? I won't believe it people, that's just a stupid fact. While BH6 is based upon a superhero comic it worked out just fine, I can't remember the last time I truly enjoyed a superhero film especially when it's 100% animated.

But first of all I just want to say that I am ridiculously tired of hearing and reading from people saying that this is a movie that only kids will enjoy. Whenever I hear that thought it makes me feel sick about it, if I can comment to that thought everyone and I do mean everyone can enjoy this film. Don't let this "thought" fool you because Big Hero 6 deliveries more than just what that particular thought wants you to believe into. And I don't even want to remember in the future that a movie like Big Hero 6 is being known as a "just another ordinary kid flick", no screw that! That's just preposterous.

My next comment is that I am also getting tired of hearing people saying that it wasn't like or as fun as "Frozen". Why on Earth does it have to be like or as fun as "Frozen"? This movie was nothing like that other movie and it didn't have to be either. And frankly this movie is so much better and smarter than "Frozen" which BTW I was disappointed with (no offense I really wanted to like that film but there were too many things I just couldn't bare into.) Without any musical numbers I still enjoyed it, although I dig the main theme song by Fall Out Bay (no I'm not familiar with them but the song managed to be catchy.)

But wait I have another comment and that goes to those who says this was a complete "ripoff" of "How To Train Your Dragon".

1. Hiro did not find Baymax it was Tadashi who introduced him at first and then Baymax himself found Hiro by hearing his pain, plus he was moved to their house.

2. BH6 and HTTYD have different issues: BH6 is about technology coming in the wrong hands. HTTYD is about the conflict between humans and dragons. I simply don't see any resemblances.

3. Just because actor T.J. Miller appeared on both films it doesn't make any copies of his characters he voiced to since two of them are completely different characters.

So stop believing that BH6 is a ripoff of HTTYD.

Like I said before BH6 delivers more than what you might think it is. I won't spoil any important plot lines but I will say some things that kept this movie for being such a watchable film especially it's good morals. If you've been looking for an animated movie with good morals this is the movie you have been waiting for and some of the examples are:

1. What makes Tadashi such a good and thoughtful person is how he cares about his little brother and wants him to do something good and he's careful with people he don't know. He did a good job to remind Krei not to steal one of Hiro's Microbot just like that.

2. When was it the last time a certain supporting character in the movies of Disney were really this smart and helpful and would give a lot of good ideas to help someone who's depressed? Baymax apart from being adorable and funny was always there for him and never left him out of his sight. But also a character that learned his own way of helping people.

3. And of course Hiro himself whom I'm happy that they showed a character of how it is like to be cocky and later realizing to finally do something good for once in his life instead of squandering his gift.

Oh and let's not forget about Hiro's friends Go Go, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred. I know what many people has said about them but trust me they're not characterless, each of them had different personalities which is what made them a memorable team and they were always there for Hiro whenever he needed them.

Let me also say that the animation was undoubtedly gorgeous and detail rich that the sets nearly looked photorealistic (apparently IMDb doesn't seem to know that the word "photorealistic" is indeed a real independent word) plus the Microbots were extremely well presented. I just couldn't resist to say it but it would be good to know since I know that many people are worried if the animation process hasn't been taken seriously but fear not BH6 was beautiful to look at. Even though if it wouldn't have won the Oscar I still think it would be a worth watching film no matter what.

In addition: A movie isn't bad just because it couldn't be like previous movies by the same company that made it. I for one enjoyed this, it felt fresh and added a story that at least looks for goals and learning them. The movie did an amazing job to tell its superhero story, I don't even think I've seen a similar story like BH6 before.

I can't believe the reviews. people saying: too predictable, too cliché, the same all over again. Hey, people, IT'S A MOVIE FOR KIDS. Now you expect that all the cartoon and animation movies for kids fills your expectations?Are you kidding me?

They also make you absolutely love Baymax, the big, white, puffy looking marsh mellow robot in allthe advertisements.

Really realistic animation, and amazing voice acting.The message was, people are people. Animation was awesome. Dialogues were intelligent.

So I do recommend this movie if you're up for a nice light movie with a lot of laughs: it might be better than you think.Go watch it.

Disney has brought many gifts and rarely disappoints me. Big Hero 6 is one of the best Disney films I have seen since last year's Frozen. This film is fun, clever, imaginative, and filled with spectacle. While the film is somewhat similar to Pixar's The Incredibules due the film's plot dealing with robots and and children with superpowers, it is very enjoyable and would easy please children as well as parents.

Big Hero 6 is not only brings out the charm with heart-filling characters and comic relief but has some of the most dazzling CGI I have seen in a Disney movie. The animators did a fantastic job on the character models and the environment was nice looking. My favorite character would probably be Baymax. What's not to like about a funny, inflatable robot who cracks funny one-liners,has the power to heal, and assists Hiro (main character) on his quest to defeat an evil scientist?

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this movie. I recommend this movie to all parents and children. Big Hero is a family thrill ride!!!

Hiro was a thirteen-year-old kid living in San Fransokyo and a genius in inventing robots. One evening, he had a bot fight with a gangster and won the money. The gangster wanted to give him a lesson but Hiro's brother, Tadashi, saved him with a scooter. Unfortunately, Hiro was caught by the police and his aunt Cass baled him out. His brother worried about him and decided to take him to his lab at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Hiro found many interesting friends and inventions there and also wanted to be a part of it. His brother told him to invent anything cool and gave a hand to Hiro. Afterwards, they invented brain-controlled microbots. It was a fantastic invention that made a hit on SFIT Showcase. Professor Callaghan and a rich company guy Alistair Krei both wanted to own his robot, but Hiro refused to sell his technology to Alistair Krei. He received an offer from Professor Callaghan. Suddenly, a big fire broke out and his brother died for saving Professor Callaghan, who was believed to be dead in the fire.

Hiro was down for a long time. One day when he hurt his left foot and cried, Beymax activated himself and asked Hiro whether he needed health- care. Hiro refused him and wanted to deactivate Beymax. When they were pushing, Hiro found the last microbot in his pocket and Beymax thought it wanted to go somewhere. Beymax went alone to find out where it wanted to go and Hiro followed him. They stopped at a warehouse. To their surprise, someone was producing a large number of microbots. Suddenly a guy in a mask appeared and wanted to kill them. Hiro and Beymax escaped from the warehouse. At night, Hiro realized the fire was started by the guy in the mask and he stole his microbots. So Hiro militarised Beymax into a fighting robot and decided to find out who was the guy in the mask. They went to the warehouse again but he was almost killed by the guy. Luckily, four friends of his brother, Fred, Go Go, Wasabi and Honey Lemon passed by and saved him. They went to Fred's house and made the decision that they would revenge for Tadashi and Professor Callaghan. Hiro made armors for six of them. Beymax found out that the guy in the mask was on an island. The six heroes went to the island and saw a video in a secret government facility, which was about a failure of a transportation experiment. A lady disappeared in the portal. Suddenly the guy in the mask attacked them again. After difficult fighting, the six heroes were surprised to find out that the guy in the mask was Professor Callaghan. Actually Professor Callaghan's daughter was the lady who disappeared in the experiment and the experiment was managed by Alistair Krei. He wanted to kill Alistair Krei and revenge for his daughter.

However Professor Callaghan did not give up after he was exposed. When the six heroes arrived at Alistair Krei's company, he was caught by Professor Callaghan. At the moment Professor Callaghan would nearly be defeated by the six heroes, he opened the portal and everything was attracted into it. Hiro and Beymax got into the portal bravely to save the lady. Unfortunately, Beymax was hit by a rock and he sacrificed himself to save Hiro and the lady. Finally, the bad guy, Professor Callaghan was caught by the police and Hiro used the chip which Beymax left for Hiro in his hand to restore Beymax.

Although the storyline is common and I could predict what would happen at the end, I still like this movie. It is really interesting and fun. Specifically, Beymax is a very successful cartoon character and nowadays is popular among the public. For his appearance, white is easy to remember. Beymax is so cute that he even looks a little bit stupid, but not in the bad way. When he and Hiro needed to escape at first, he did not know what happened and just, standing there, looked at "the big monster". Then he used adhesive tape to fix his body in the police station. There are so many funny actions leading me to laugh. Asking Hiro whether he needed health-care makes him more successful. When they were stuck in the portal, he sacrificed himself to save Hiro and he asked if Hiro was satisfied with the health-care again. It deeply moved me.

According to Scott Watanabe, the movie is set in an alternate future where after the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was rebuilt by Japanese immigrants using techniques that allow movement and flexibility in a seismic event. After the city was finished being rebuilt, it was renamed San Fransokyo due to it being a city with Japanese and American architecture combined.
------------------------

Baymax's movement and posing was modeled after studying the movement of baby with a full diaper. (Source: movie extras)
------------------------

The production team watched videos of fire ants as an inspiration of the movement of the Microbots.
------------------------

When Baymax first tests out his new rocket fist in Fred's mansion, the statue that it destroys is a statue of Hans from Frozen (2013).
------------------------

In order to create the thousands of civilians living in San Fransokyo, the production team invented a program called the "Denizen Factory", which allowed them to build a whole series of background characters that each have a distinct design.
------------------------

Although it is based on a Marvel comic of the same name, there are lots of changes to the names, the setting, the ethnicities of characters, the back stories, and several plot points.
------------------------

The "world" that the animators created is bigger than those of Tangled (2010), Wreck-It Ralph (2012), and Frozen (2013) combined.
------------------------

When Fred is first introduced, he is in a lizard costume that looks like the Hideous Zippleback that Tuffnut rides in the "How to Train Your Dragon" movies. Fred and Tuffnut are both voiced by T.J. Miller.
------------------------

Over 200 different signs were created for the advertisements of San Fransokyo.
------------------------

In the science expo, whilst Hiro is demonstrating the microbots there are two brief shots showing Alistair Krei assessing another competitors project. The competitor is wearing a Brain-Wave Analyzer as created by Dr. Emmett Brown in the film Back to the Future (1985).
------------------------

Two important characters from the Big Hero 6 comic, Silver Samurai and Sunfire, did not make it to the film due to 20th Century Fox's owning both characters because of their affiliation with the X-Men; however Tadashi's cap has the SF emblem, which is written in the same font as in the Sunfire comic.
------------------------

The idea of combining San Francisco with Tokyo's landscapes was based upon John Lasseter's advice of creating a new and different mythical city for the film.
------------------------

There's a wanted sign of Hans from Frozen (2013) that can be found on the wall in the police officer's office on the left.
------------------------

In Hiro's room next to his computer monitor, there appears to be a robot head resembling E.V.A. from WALL·E (2008).
------------------------

Originally there were going to be more villains in the movie besides Yokai. One was a group called the Fujitas. According to the Big Hero 6 art book, they were going to be a trio of deadly Geisha women each possessing a different weapon with movements inspired by the movements of snakes or koi fish. The second villain was going to be a Japanese TV Talk Show Host named Mr. Sparkles who was a child-like man devoted to world conquest. The last was a group of jet pack flying pilots called the Banzai Bombers.
------------------------

While designing Baymax's super-suit, there is a drawing resembling the top half of Iron Man's helmet.
------------------------

The first animated Marvel film to be released theatrically via Walt Disney Animation Studios. However, the film does not share the same universe as the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe, nor is is it branded as a Marvel property from Marvel Studios.
------------------------

The villain's name, Yokai, means "spirit" or "phantom" in Japanese.
------------------------

In Fred's room, a Stitch-themed pillow can be seen on his bed.
------------------------

In Fred's library/museum, one of the small statuettes in the background book case is Elastigirl from The Incredibles (2004).
------------------------

During the second meeting with Baymax, in Hiro's room, Hiro falls beside his bed, and items on his shelves begin falling on him. On the second shelf, there is a figurine of a Dalek from the Doctor Whoniverse.
------------------------

The inflatable, vinyl, truly huggable design of Baymax is inspired by 'soft robotics' research at Carnegie Mellon University.
------------------------

The Portal testing lab was meant to be located deep in the catacombs of Alcatraz, but was changed to an alternate version of Angel Island called Akuma Island. Akuma means "demon" or "devil" in Japanese.
------------------------

Before deciding that Baymax was going to have an expression-less face, he was originally to going to have a face that only does five different expressions.
------------------------

According to Lorelay Bove, the reason Go Go Tamago's super-suit is yellow is to match her name, Tamago, which means "egg" in Japanese.
------------------------

T.J. Miller improvised most of his character's exclamations.
------------------------

During one screen of the closing credits, a billboard can be seen in the upper left corner which features an purple octopus wielding a knife - an appropriate callout to Harryhausen's, the sushi restaurant in Monsters, Inc. (2001).
------------------------

When Hiro falls between his desk and bed after activating Baymax, you can see Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's face on Hiro's ceiling. Oswald was Walt Disney's first animated character before Mickey Mouse.
------------------------

The model of the design of Baymax's eyes is a Japanese traditional bell which is called Suzu. Don Hall, the director says that he got an inspiration when he visited a temple in Japan.
------------------------

Due to her accent, Honey Lemon is the only character actually pronouncing the Japanese name "Hiro" correctly.
------------------------

The acetylene torch Honey Lemon uses in the lab is branded "Blue Dragon" with a blue dragon as a logo. The logo is taken from the original logo for the television series Dragon Ball Z (1996) .
------------------------

Don Hall chose San Francisco as the choice of city to be blended with Tokyo's culture, because Los Angeles isn't a massive city, and New York is too common of an epicenter for the Marvel comic world. San Francisco also has many distinctive features that aren't offered in Los Angeles or New York.
------------------------

When Hiro is working on Baymax armor he uses the same movements with his hand as Tony Stark while working on the mk 2 Ironman armor.
------------------------

In the first official trailer of the film, a bird's eye view camera shot can be shown when Hiro Hamada and Baymax leave the police station, with Baymax taking the tape. In the that shot, look closely at the two photos on the far right side of the police officer's desk. The pictures are of Ester (the supervisor at the Elmwood County Animal Shelter) and Bolt from Disney's animated film Bolt (2008), was directed by one of the directors of Big Hero 6: Chris Williams. There was also a picture of Hans from Disney's Frozen (2013), which has the same creators as Big Hero 6.
------------------------

When Hiro recevies the video message from his friends on his computer, you can see a Nintendo 8-bit controller on the desk under the screen.
------------------------

The character known as Wasabi No-Ginger had his last name officially dropped from the film, and is known simply as Wasabi.
------------------------

Fred mentions that he likes to make movies about himself in a rubber suit stomping on boxes. This is a reference to his original power: the ability to transform into a giant monster that can stomp down houses.
------------------------

James Cromwell plays Dr. Robert Callaghan in Big Hero 6 and Dr. Alfred Lanning in I, Robot (2004), both characters are creators of the laws of robotics.
------------------------

Like the Marvel movies, this film also has an end credit scene, although this movie is not connected with the same Cinematic Universe as the other current Marvel movies.
------------------------

Hiro mentions that one of Callaghan's inventions is the Callaghan-Catmull Spline. The Catmull-Rom Spline is a mathematical construct used in computer modeling and animation co-invented by Pixar president Ed Catmull.
------------------------

One of the few Disney Films that is partially owned by both Pixar and Marvel.
------------------------

This is the first Disney film to only show the title of the movie at the end and not the beginning.
------------------------

In the back of Fred's room is a display case with two mannequins wearing the costumes of two lesser Marvel comics super villains. The blue mannequin on the left is of the Sub-Mariner villain "Orka", and the chicken themed one on the right is that of the voodoo priest villain known as "Black Talon."
------------------------

During the first flyover shot of the interior of the building where the SFTT showcase is being held, in the left hand corner characters resembling Steve Jobs and John Lasseter can be seen talking to a blonde woman with a pony tail. According to the Blu-ray's special features, the guy that looks like Steve Jobs is actually Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar and president of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. To his left is John Lasseter, co-founder of Pixar and executive producer of Big Hero 6, and on the right is the president of Disney Animation Studios Andrew Millstein.
------------------------

At 26:51, when Baymax is talking to Hiro, at the bottom left corner of the screen, is a poster for The Iron Giant (1999).
------------------------

The design of San Fransokyo was inspired by the cities featured in the films Akira (1988), Kokaku Kidotai (1995), Tekkon kinkurito (2006), and the illustrations of Tadahiro Uesugi.
------------------------

Baymax's walking movements are based on human toddlers. Specifically, toddlers with full diapers.
------------------------

Sang-Jin Kim, the first Korean to become the top animator at Walt Disney Studios and character design supervisor for Big Hero 6, revealed that the lead characters, although they were later given Japanese names, were originally envisioned as Koreans.
------------------------

Akuma Island was originally going to be an abandoned military base where Yokai was going to steal a nuclear submarine to power the Portal. At one point a monster called the Entity was going to emerge from the portal and lay waste to San Fransokyo. But eventually the production decided that the Portal's purpose is for teleportation only.
------------------------

Gogo is Disney's first Korean character. Lead character designer Shiyoon Kim drew upon his experience with 'tough' sister stereotypes while mixing it in with the bike messenger/trick culture of San Francisco.
------------------------

According to Sang-Jin Kim, When creating GoGo, Kim and his team originally thought of South Korean actress Doona Bae and then incorporated independent and athletic traits after Korean short track skaters.
------------------------

In the opening bot battle, Hiro goes up against Yama, a very large man controlling a battle-bot; when Yama turns and shows his back, the Japanese character for "mountain" ("yama") is embroidered on his jacket, as a joke to his large, 'mountain-like' size.
------------------------

Also in Fred's room is the "escape pod" which Wreck-It Ralph (2012) uses in Hero's Duty. It can be seen in one of the cylinder glass cases on the back.
------------------------

The character name Krei appears to be a reference to the Cray Research Company which made the earliest supercomputers beginning in 1971.
------------------------

When Honey Lemon's supersuit is created, her purse has the entire periodic table.
------------------------

The clock in Hiro's room is at the time 2:15 the entire movie
------------------------

Hans (Frozen (2013)) and Flynn (Tangled (2010)) are on the police station bulletin as wanted men.
------------------------

When Hiro is trying to get Baymax upstairs to charge him, when he comes back downstairs to talk to Aunt Cass a picture of Mochi the cat dressed as Stitch from Lilo & Stitch (2002) can be seen behind Hiro hanging on the wall.
------------------------

Youtubers Dan Howell (danisnotonfire) and Phil Lester (amazingphil) have voice cameos as technicians #1 an #2 in the British version only in theatres.
------------------------

According to the Big Hero 6 art book, Mochi the cat was originally going to wear rocket pads on its paws. A cat that looks similar to Mochi wears rocket pads in the background at the science lab.
------------------------

HIDDEN MICKEY: At Hiro's room a clock shows Mazinger Z pointing the hour, like those classic watches featuring Mickey Mouse.
------------------------

A life size statue of Saitine (from Wreck-It Ralph (2012), "it's pronounced, Saitine") can also be seen in Fred's room.
------------------------

When Hiro first meets everyone at the college, Honey says her ball of carbide weighs 400 pounds. In reality, a ball of carbide measuring 36" in diameter (judging size from the film) would weigh over 14,000 pounds.
------------------------

The wave shown during the end credits where the lighting supervisors are named, is a reference to a famous art work by Hokusai; The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
------------------------

When the team is introduced at the "Nerd Lab" at the beginning of the film, the only project that is not mentioned or acknowledged is a portal looking device. This item strongly resembles the portal S.H.I.E.L.D. uses to harness the Tesseract in The Avengers (2012).
------------------------

There are multiple references to the short film Feast (2014), which is a special feature in the video, throughout the movie. Two "Adopt a dog today!" posters are seen in the overhead view of a street market at 30min:46sec, and at 44min:36sec, a graffiti version of the title Feast is shown on the alley wall as the Greek letter "phi" and "st" (pronounced "feast") with 4 paw prints and the parsley garnish featured predominantly in the short film.
------------------------

The San Fransokyo Institute of Technology is based off of the Presidio due to its college-like atmosphere.
------------------------

The words "Big Hero 6" are never spoken in the film.
------------------------

The scene where Baymax is holding up rubble to protect the team is highly reminiscent of the Hulk holding up a mountain in and on the cover of Secret Wars #4.
------------------------

In late 2014, an extended preview of Big Hero 6 was presented in 4D at Disneyland California in Tomorrowland's Magic Eye Theater, replacing Captain EO 2.0.
------------------------

When the six heroes enter Fred's big room for the first time, we can see on the left of the door a statue of Torpedo (the statue in the middle). Torpedo is an ex Marvel villain (mainly against Daredevil) and then hero (mainly alongside Rom Spaceknight). He's got a blue suit and turbines on his ankles and his wrists. His face is never shown in close-up. The last Torpedo, Brock Jones, died in battle against the Dire Wraiths, evil aliens enemies with Rom Spaceknight.
------------------------

HIDDEN MICKEY: The emblem of the make of the car driven by the heroes in the car chase midway through the movie is a stylized Mickey, consisting of 3 overlapping circles. (at round 47 mins)
------------------------

The film might also draw inspiration from Big Hero 6's mini-series, where Wasabi and Fred first appeared, replacing Silver Samurai and others. Since Disney took Wasabi and Fred as characters of the film, it's likely that Disney also took inspiration from the series' setting: America. This can explain the creation of San Fransokyo.
------------------------

The portal created in the movie was inspired from the Disney XD show Phineas and Ferb (2007), when they created two portals similar to the ones in the movie. Later in the same episode, the portals shrank and became the mother's new earrings.
------------------------

When Hiro falls between the bed and desk, one of the items that hits him as it falls off the shelf is a model of a soldier from the the movie Wreck-It Ralph (2012). Ralph wore this uniform when entering the game "Heros duty" to obtain his medal. A psy bug from the movie can also be seen in Fred's room later during the film.
------------------------

The Robotics Lab is based off of architect designs by Santiago Calatrava, Renzo Piano, & Shin Takamatsu.
------------------------

The portals strongly resemble those from Stargate. The military figure in charge of the project also resembles Stargate SG-1 (1997)'s General Hammond.
------------------------

Although the writer/creator think tank Man-Of-Action is credited for creating the team in the film (Duncan Rouleau & Steven T. Seagle specifically) the characters of Fred and Wasabi are co-creation of legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont & artist David Nakayama from their Big Hero 6 mini-series.
------------------------

The most challenging part of designing Baymax's super-suit was the wings.
------------------------

According to Sang-Jin Kim, Baymax has a balloon-like face with eyes connected by a thin line that evokes the image of a 'moktak,' a wooden percussion instrument often used by Buddhist monks.
------------------------

Hiro's superhero suit is modeled after Priss from the "Bubblegum Crisis" anime franchise.
------------------------

At around 14:45 (shortly after Tadashi staples up the poster for the SFIT Showcase) there is a Wreck-It Ralph (2012) figure sitting atop a monitor.
------------------------

One of the comics in Fred's collection is Marvel Premiere #32 (October 1976) featuring Monark Starstalker created by Howard Chaykin.
------------------------

James Cromwell and Alan Tudyk previously co-starred in I, Robot (2004).
------------------------

Hiro's superhero costume strongly resembles Rachet's armor suit from the hit video game Ratchet & Clank (2002).
------------------------

During the montage of shots of Hiro in the garage creating the microbots, there is a brief shot of him using a laser pointer to play with Mochi the cat.
------------------------

In Fred's room there is a display case with several full-sized caricatures inside, one of them resembling a red and purple devil. This is Saitine, who was seen in Wreck-It Ralph (2012) consoling Ralph during the bad guy support group meeting. On the other end of the same case a green robot-like character can be seen. This character was also in the same support group but was yellow.
------------------------

When Hiro first demonstrates Baymax's thrusters, Baymax's flattens his hand so that they are level with the ground, even though they play no role in his flight. This is in reference to the pose used by Iron Man (2008) when he first tests his flight capabilities.
------------------------

There is a similarity between the dialog in the video the Six are watching regarding some anomalous readings just before proceeding with the experiment, and similar dialog in the Half-Life games. In both cases this is right before a catastrophic disaster and also in both cases the readings are almost immediately dismissed citing that everything was still within expected parameters.
------------------------

Baymax's movement was so limited that the production studio codenamed it "UNimating".
------------------------

The shirt Hiro is wearing is Baymax in his red battlesuit.
------------------------

The quote during the opening bot battle, "Two bots enter, one bot leaves!" is a nod to a tagline of the cult classic Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985): "Two men enter, one man leaves!"
------------------------

Damon Wayans Jr., who voices Wasabi, had his first onscreen appearance as a child in another superhero film, Blankman (1994).
------------------------

The bot battle in the alley is a reference to the fact that San Francisco was the first city to hold robot combat competitions.
------------------------

While grabbing Hiro's collar preventing him from falling off the dock, Baymax states a common myth that you should "always wait one hour after eating before swimming".
------------------------

James Cromwell also played a character named Callaghan in Salem's Lot (2004).
------------------------

Early on in the film, when Hiro is struggling for ideas for the showcase, Tadashi tells him to "look for a new angle." During the film's climax, when it appears that the gang is about to be defeated by the Microbots, Hiro tells them to "look for a new angle."
------------------------

Is the first Disney film to be based on a manga series.
------------------------

Pushed Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) forward to August 8th 2014.
------------------------

The portal has a strong resemblance of the Negative Zone from Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. (2013).
------------------------

During the first twenty minutes of the movie, Tadashi's breathing is also animated.
------------------------

In the science expo scene when the group takes a photo, each character is wearing something foreshadowing the future. Hiro, Gogo, Honey, and Wasabi are wearing the colors of their future costumes when superheros, Fred has a shirt with a image of his soon to be hero costume, and Tadashi is the only one who's wearing a black shirt foreshadowing his death.
------------------------

In Fred's mansion, a portrait of Stan Lee, Chairman Emeritus of Marvel Comics, can be seen as Fred's dad (and in a post-credits scene). As in all Marvel-related movies, part of the contract was to feature him in some way.
------------------------

Big Hero 6 contains a large number of hidden "Easter eggs" from other Disney animated features: Hiro's cat, Mochi, is wearing a Stitch costume from Lilo & Stitch (2002) in the picture hanging in the stairway of his house. Hiro has a figure of Wreck-It Ralph (2012) on his computer monitor. The arcade game Sugar Rush is seen in a arcade. At the police station, there is a wanted poster over the shoulder of the police officer that not only has Hans from Frozen (2013), but also one of the misdrawn pictures of Flynn Ryder from Tangled (2010). Stan Lee also make his obligatory Marvel cameo, not only in the family portrait, but also in the after-credits scene. Bolt (2008) can be seen in a picture (as noted above). Also the statue destroyed by Baymax's rocket fist is a statue of Prince Hans from Frozen.
------------------------

This is Alan Tudyk's third Disney movie in a row (Wreck-It Ralph (2012) and Frozen (2013)). In all three films, he plays a bad guy.
------------------------

In Hiro's bot fight against Yama, Megabot (Hiro's robot) is seen removing the arm of Yama's robot, using it to cause Yama's bot to attack itself. Then Megabot is seen punching Yama's bot rapidly in the head. This resembles the scenes in The Incredibles (2004), in which Syndrome's robot is destroyed by its own arm, and the scene where Dash punches a villain in the face rapidly.
------------------------

Many Disney Easter eggs from Disney's previous film, Frozen (2013) can be seen throughout the film such as: a wanted poster featuring Hans in a police station. A Hans statue in Fred's courtyard, one of the ships from Arendelle can be seen in the harbor, and an Olaf statue in the city when Hiro and Baymax are flying around.
------------------------

In the final scene of the movie, when Hiro puts the robotic hand on his shelf, there is a large yellow book on top of the shelf with the name "McMaster-Carr" on the spine. Mcmaster-Carr is a supply house with a catalog of over 550,000 electrical, hardware, mechanical and other products. The annual catalog is yellow, and the 2014 edition is nearly 4,000 pages long.
------------------------

Stan Lee appears in a post credits scene with his son Fred.
------------------------

The basic premise for the fire at the science fair as a way to steal the micro bots is based on an episode of the 1980's TV show Murder, She Wrote (1984) where in a criminal causes a fire in a science fair to aid the theft of a hi-tech house robot.
------------------------

This is the third consecutive Disney Animation Studios film to feature a plot twist in which an apparent good guy is actually the villain. The previous two were Frozen (2013) and Wreck-It Ralph (2012).
------------------------

In the first scene in the college lab, each one of the main characters are working on something that helps them in the battles in this movie. Gogo is making a speedy bike which later is added to her suit to make her faster, Wasabi is working on lasers which get turned into his arm blades, Honey is working on chemical orbs which later become her main weapon, and Fred shows his sign spinning which aides him in the final battle.
