5 Reasons Why You Need to Watch Disney's Big Hero 6

this article is originally written for Social Gadget News.

Disney’s latest animation movie just hit the theatres, with a feel of Guardians of the Galaxy. Big Hero 6 tells the story and adventure of a 14-year-old robotic prodigy, Hiro Hamada, who fights together with 4 other friends and Baymax, an inflatable care-taker robot, to take down an evil mastermind in their city.

While it sounds like other superheroes movies for kids with nothing more to give, we think you’re wrong. There’s not just 1, 2, but 5 main reasons, why you should take your friends and family to watch this animation feature. It’s may not be as big as Frozen, or come close as a competitor to the new ‘Interstellar,’  but let us tell you why it’s worthy of your bucks.

1. Feast over Winston

It’s been quite a trend for an animation movie to feature a shorter animation movie at the beginning of its film. In Big Hero 6, we are presented with a short animation, Feast, that will give us an adorable Boston Terrier named Winston. In six minutes, writer-director Patrick Osborne synopsizes a dozen years in a man’s life, from loner to dater to husband and father, as seen and shared by winsome Winston. We can see many children demand a boston terrier for their Christmas presents. 

2. A fusion of east and west

Welcome to San Fransokyo, the fictional city where our heroes live. Judging by its name, it’s a clash of San Francisco and Tokyo. TIME concludes that the kids, like those in anime books and movies, have Japanese-American features, suggesting the melding of races as our future world interbreeds attractively. In fact, Hiro is being lauded as the first mixed-race protagonist in a Disney movie.

3. Introducing Baymax, a huggable giant robot

Yes, this is probably the main reason why you have to watch Big Hero 6: Baymax. MTV agrees that this towering, huggable, robotic bag of air and brains steals the show and probably seals a franchise. Baymax is a robot caregiver for young Hiro. It fits into a small suitcase. But when it hears the word “Ow,” it inflates into a six-foot, white, vinyl balloon animal with black eyes and pudgy shape. Programmed to speak in a benign, avuncular tone as he detects and corrects health problems, Baymax becomes the fussy guardian of Hiro, his friends and virtually any other creature it sees.

Baymax is definitely a candy to our eyes – irresistible and full of charms – we wish it was real, just like how we drool over Minions and Wall-E. We want Baymax to babysit our kids. 

4. Heartwarming relationship of a boy and a bot

At the heart of it all is the tight relationship between a boy and his robot. It’s Disney’s specialty to make us swoon and shed a tear at the same time. It’s the interaction of Hiro and Baymax that will make us leave our seat after watching Big Hero 6 with a warm heart, thinking that we’ve seen a good movie that leaves quite an impression and shakes our emotions.

5.  It’s harmless for children

One last thing to convince you: Big Hero 6 is the perfect family movie, in many ways. In a refreshing turn, it has zero romantic plotlines. Instead, the focus is on the relationship between siblings, and how people cope with grief and loss. It’s also not as violent, as bloody or even near as stressful as Marvel’s movies. There are a lot of action and fighting scenes, but they’ve been toned down and are given comedic vibes. So, you can still laugh maniacally while seriously watching the final showdown. Critics even reviewed it as smart, big-hearted, funny, and cool. It’s a movie with a lesson (or lessons). Kids will love it. Frankly, you will love it too.
