Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Kids will leave the theater wanting their own Baymax, and who can blame them? It's the rest of the "Heroes" that don't measure up; the robot full of air is the most real thing in the movie.
It's easier to like this movie because of the casual, low stakes of the enterprise.
A big, gorgeous, consistently funny and touching animated adventure.
Big Hero 6 offers something for everyone: action, camaraderie, superheroes and villains. But mostly, Baymax offers a compassionate and healing voice for those suffering, and a hug that can be felt through the screen.
