History WesternAnimation / BigHero6

* GivingThemTheStrip: Grappled by all four limbs in the concluding battle, Fred realizes that it's only ''his kaiju suit'' which the microbot-swarm has hold of, so withdraws both arms from his costume sleeves and uses them to fight his way loose via weaponized sign-twirling.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** [[MissingTrailerScene In the teaser]], the moment when Hiro tries to shove the squishy, pear-shaped Baymax into a suit of armor. After a few seconds of looking heroic in it, all the armor promptly pops off.[[invoked]]
** Hiro's [[HustlingTheMark hustle at the beginning of the movie]] initially goes exactly as planned, and he looks poised to take home a big pile of cash, up until it becomes clear that people who regularly take part in illegal competitions aren't good sports about losing, especially to a 14-year-old.
** The video clip of Tadashi shows that it took ''dozens'' of attempts just to get Baymax to start up right, with him having to repeatedly work out the various kinks that popped up each time. Almost any engineer/engineering student can attest to this being TruthInTelevision.

Don't confuse with WesternAnimation/TheSuper6, despite the fact they are both about a legion of 6 superheroes. Funnily enough, the rights to the production company of Super 6, Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises, were bought by Disney in 2001.

Don't confuse with WesternAnimation/TheSuperSix, despite the fact they are both about a legion of 6 superheroes. Funnily enough, the rights to the production company of Super Six, Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises, were bought by Disney in 2001.

* ClarkKenting: A downplayed example. At the end of the movie, a news story reports, "the whole city of San Fransokyo is asking, who are these heroes"? While it is true that, except for Fred, none of the other team members completely hide their face, it is {{Justified}} in that the team is still so new that they don't stand out from the millions of other people in the city, and their various headgear does partially obscure their faces.

* AnAesop:
** When you're suffering, don't try to bottle it up. Your [[YouAreNotAlone friends are there to support you]] and you should let them. Even Baymax says as much.
** You should not let revenge turn you into a monster.
** Don't judge people by their appearances -- ''everybody'' has HiddenDepths.
** You can use your intelligence and imagination to find a new angle and think your way out of trouble.
** When developing a potential scientific innovation, your priority should be the intention to help people, not hurt them.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: The Japanese version of the movie uses Ai's "Story" as the ending theme. Strangely enough, even though the artist originally sang it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCKCRv1d_-s Japanese]], the movie instead uses the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTLGTgoDLxs English version]] of the song.

** In the UK release of the movie, the two technicians who [[spoiler:detect that something has gone awry with Project Silent Sparrow]] are voiced by WebVideo/{{Danisnotonfire}} and WebVideo/AmazingPhil.

* DiedInIgnorance: Tadashi performs a HeroicSacrifice when he decides to race back into the burning exhibition building to save Dr. Callaghan; the fire explodes just as he does. TheReveal that Dr. Callaghan had Hiro's micro-bots which sealed him from the fire (and is also the BigBad) turns Tadashi's sacrifice into a [[SenselessSacrifice senseless one]], which absolutely shatters Hiro. This results in Hiro removing Baymax's medical personality, turning him into a [[KillerRobot killing machine.]]
