Hiro is a very smart kid who finds what he wants to do with his life when tragedy strikes and he has to get the help of his inflatable robot friend called Baymax.   He is out to stop a masked villain roaming the streets of San Fransokyo and he needs the help of his brother’s nerd friends like Go Go Tomago, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and fanboy Fred.   They devise superhero identities while using their nerd know-how to create technology to fight this masked villain.   BIG HERO 6 is a very fun superhero animated film with great character development and plenty of details from the cityscape to the humor.    Baymax is the best sci-fi robot since C-3PO and R2-D2.  I loved all of the characters in this one as I love their quirks and flaws.  Also don’t miss the bonus scene at the end of the credits.  I hope Disney makes a sequel soon and you will realize how good BIG HERO 6 is (and why it won the Best Animated Film Oscar).
