The Tale Of A Young Teenager Dealing With Loss

Big Hero 6 is a film that I think should be watched at least once (though more if you like it) and is one of the most realistic portrayals of an individual dealing with grief (it being a big focus of the film). It's also a superhero movie loosely based on the Marvel comic book series of the same name.

I think the character Hiro Hamada is very relatable and believable. I thought a lot of the Japanese influence really shined in the animation and setting by how it looked and was executed. The writing I thought was fantastic and it got me to care about the characters, who I thought were pretty cool. Also, I think that it's awesome that for a lot of the film, it genuinely showed that science can be awesome and I appreciate the level of effort put into the research done for the scientific elements of the film. Also, I enjoyed the action sequences in the film and I thought they were well directed.

Also, like the title says, it fully explores the grief and sadness of losing a loved one in a very realistic way despite the film being animated. The scenes that did show this I thought were smart to not overdo it and keep it more subtle and believable in how it was portrayed. I know that certain Disney movies have a character that goes through a loss but I think this one goes through the situation a lot more thoroughly though.

Overall, I think that this is an engaging, entertaining but surprisingly tragic and sobering movie that takes a story element that's been seen in other Disney movies but expands upon it and makes it one of the big elements of a film that does not shy away from a very real situation.
