BIG HERO 6
Another (this one is very good; I laughed so
hard!) is Big Hero 6.
Parents need to know that Big Hero 6 is an
action-packed, animated adaptation of the
same-titled superhero comic that's likely to
attract younger kids as well as tweens/teens who
are already fans of the Marvel universe. The
movie is an unconventional origin story that
focuses on the power of brotherhood, friendship,
and using your gifts to help others. One of the
film's main themes is about coping with grief, as
the main character's beloved older brother (his
only immediate family) tragically dies early in the
film; Hiro's sadness may be hard for sensitive
kids. Another near death is very upsetting, and
sometimes, intense confrontations between the
movie's scary supervillain and the protagonists
that injure but don't kill people. On the other
hand, the central robot, Baymax, was designed
to heal, not hurt, and his moral code influences
other characters in positive ways. With its
refreshingly diverse cast and uplifting message,
Big Hero 6 is a captivating adventure story for
the entire family.
