Disney’s new film “Big Hero 6” is now one of my favorite children’s movies of all time. However, it is not a film only for children.

“Big Hero 6” follows the life of young, aspiring robot designer Hiro Hamada in the fictional town of San Fransokyo. The 14 year old is a genius, but has yet to mature and has a stubborn streak. He uses his talent for illegal robot fighting while his brother Tadashi, also a technical genius, is working on building a healthcare robot in his college, known as Baymax. Tadashi convinces Hiro to showcase his invention for a convention instead of robot fighting, and he is invited to attend college with Tadashi after the professor witnesses Hiro’s amazing intellect. The main storyline follows Hiro as he searches for justice after a tragic event happens within his family.

The characters are unforgettable, and each has relatable characteristics. They feel like real people, partly due to the incredible voice acting, and partly due to the well written dialogue.

The movie is a rollercoaster of feelings. I was laughing, sobbing or smiling in each scene. There were several tragic moments that left the crowd attempting to suppress their sobs, and many funny moments which left the entire theater laughing. There were several, shall we say, subtle “adult” jokes, but it made the movie all the more enjoyable, and was not noticeable to children.

There are both  2D and RealD 3D versions of the movie, and both contain phenomenal graphics to meet the high expectations of today’s audience. The color scheme is bright, colorful (minus the tragic scenes) and beautiful, and it was hard to for me to look away from the screen.

The characters and story are based on the Marvel Comics team Big Hero 6, and the movie version was adapted partly by Man of Action Studios, which also did several popular children’s shows, including but not limited to, “Ben 10,” “The Ultimate Spider-Man” and “Generator Rex” (for those with younger siblings or a child-oriented personality).

The background music matched the movie well, along with alternative band Fallout Boy’s “Immortals” as the main theme song, which I almost immediately downloaded onto my phone after the movie and listened to on repeat. My five-year-old brother and 17-year old male friend also agreed  the movie was very well done and definitely worth purchasing the day it is released on DVD.

There is not a dull moment throughout the entire show, and the storyline was definitely unique. In the hour and 45 minutes the movie lasts, it is nearly impossible not to feel connected to the characters. The acting, storyline and visual effects created a memorable story that is unforgettable. “Big Hero 6” was a spectacular film enjoyable for all ages, and more than worth the time and money.
