BIG HERO 6 is a delight of a movie truly made for the entire family. It is funny, heart-warming and action-packed. This is the movie for children who love superheros and for parents who could really do without the violence of the majority of superhero movies. Baymax, the amazing, giant, marshmallow of a robot was caring, compassionate and hilarious. All he wants is to keep his humans safe! Who could argue with that?
The thing I really love about this movie is that it encourages kids toward science. I love that the science students in this movie represent a wide range of demographics. It shows that anyone can be a superhero and anyone can study science. The more we can encourage kids to pursue careers in science, the better future generations will fair. Scientists need to become the cool kids and I think this movie makes a good case for that sort of world.
Another great thing about this movie is the overarching theme of positive action through grief. Your greatest revenge should not include destroying another person. Living well and prospering will always be the greatest revenge possible. By carrying on the legacies of those who came before you, it is possible to honor their memory and defeat your foes simultaneously.
Go see this movie. Go see it in 3D. Take every kid you know.
