Big Hero, Bigger Heart
What is better to give on Valentine’s Day than the biggest hug from the biggest heart? Quite possibly my favorite Walt Disney Animation film of 2014, Big Hero 6 is a heartwarming tale of loyalty, love and friendship and is available Digital HD/Disney Movies Anywhere February 3, 2015 and on Blu-ray Combo Pack February 24, 2045. We received a review copy, all opinions are my own.
Big Hero 6 is an action-packed comedy adventure about the poignant friendship that develops between a boy and an extraordinary robot named Baymax as they embark on a life-changing journey to unravel the mystery behind a devastating and heartbreaking event. Directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, and produced by Roy Conli, Big Hero 6 is a family friendly must-see.
A Heartwarming Message For Every Family Member
The film introduces Baymax, a lovable, personal companion robot, who forms a special bond with a boy who is a robotics prodigy named Hiro Hamada. When a devastating turn of events (that is quite sad so be forewarned btw) catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of “San Fransokyo”, Hiro turns to Baymax and his diverse group of friends — adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred — who transform into a band of unlikely heroes.
Big Hero 6 is the right amount of action and adventure filled with a huge heart and a heartwarming message about love, loss and friendship. I cannot urge you and your family to see it enough if you haven’t already. You will thank me, I promise.
