Recap:
Our hero, Hiro, loses his brother in an accidental fire at his nerdy robotic school. His brother Tadashi, had created a medical robot called Baymax who befriended Hiro after Tadashi's death. Hiro created a micro-bot that could telepathically be controlled and manipulated into creating anything as fast as you could think it. After showing off his microbot at an expo show to try to gain entry into the robotic college, a fire breaks out, destroying the microbots and Hiro's brother as well as Professor Callaghan, the leader of the school.
As Hiro grieves for his brother he damages his arm and Baymax activates to try to heal Hiro. Hiro finds in his hoodie one last microbot which has been activated somehow. Baymax, trying to heal Hiro's emotional state, takes the microbot and tries to find where the microbot is trying to go to. He ends up at a warehouse where they find all the microbots that Hiro had thought destroyed. They are being mass produced by a man in a kabuki mask. When they're discovered the masked man tries to capture them but they escape. Hiro quickly puts together that the fire that had killed his brother was staged so his microbots could be stolen. He vows to find the man who killed his brother and stop him.
Hiro programs Baymax with karate moves and gives him special armor. They track the micro bots to a dock where they are being hidden under the water. His friends from the school, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey, and Fred arrive and accidentally alert the kabuki man to their presence. They are chased through town until they escape by crashing into the water. Baymax takes them to safety. Hiro decides to defeat the Kabuki man they must not only upgrade Baymax, but he must upgrade everyone with superhero armor and technology.
They track the bio signature of the kabuki man that had been taken by Baymax at the encounter at the docks and are led to a remote island. They search the facility on the island and find a destroyed secret lab. They discover a video of Alistair Krei, the man who had tried to buy Hiro's microbots, testing an experimental teleportation program. But there was an accident which resulted in the death of their test pilot, Cass. Then the kabuki man shows up. The heroes test out their newly made supersuits and fight the kabuki man. With teamwork they are able to knock off the kabuki mask and revealed Callaghan as the masked man. Enraged, Hiro orders Baymax to destroy Callaghan. But when he won't comply because of his program, Hiro removes his medical disk turning Baymax into a murder machine. The heros stop Baymax before he kills Callaghan but Callaghan gets away with the mask.
Hiro storms off to his house with Baymax where he tries to remove his medical disk. But now that Baymax knows what Hiro wants he won't let Hiro have access to it anymore. Instead he shows Hiro videos of Tadahashi testing Baymax. After watching all the videos of his brother trying to create this healing robot, Hiro realizes he can't use his brothers creation for revenge. Tadahashi created him to save people, not hurt them. The other heroes show up with another video they had found at the secret laboratory. It's the continued video of the teleportation test revealing that the father of the test pilot was Callaghan. Thus revealing his plan of revenge again Krei.
So our heroes head to Krei's facility where they find that Callaghan had taken the broken transportation device. Callaghan planned to activate the device which would suck everything around it inside, like a black hole. And then he planned to throw Krei in as well. They realize that the key to stopping Callaghan is to destroy the microbots, and the only way to do so is to get them sucked into the device. They distract Callaghan, forcing him to send his microbots closer to the event horizon and then they crashed through the bots sending them flying causing them to get sucked up. They succeed and capture Callaghan.
But then Baymax senses a lifeform inside the device. So Hiro and Baymax fly inside to save Callaghan's daughter. They fly through the debris inside, avoiding collision until they find her. They fly her ship back to the entrance, but then a large piece of debris flies by and Baymax pushes Hiro out of the way saving his life, but destroying his suit in the process. The only way Baymax can save Hiro is to use his rocket glove to propel them through the entrance. But Hiro doesn't want to leave Baymax behind. After a few tearful moments Hiro realizes he has no other choice. He says goodbye and Baymax shuts down his program and the glove propels Hiro and Cass to safety. Cass is taken to a hospital to recover and Callaghan is arrested.
We fast forward in time slightly as Hiro is looking at Baymax's rocket glove he finds his brother's program for Baymax. Hiro rebuilds Baymax so that he can fulfill his brother's dream. We end on the understanding that this team of heroes will go on fighting injustice as the Big Hero 6.

Notables Things I loved:
- The fist bump between Hiro and Baymax
- Baymax's catchphrase "Oh No"
- Hiro's robot battle in the beginning
- San Fransokyo
- I love a drunken robot
- The cameo of Stan lee
- The relationship between Baymax and Hiro
- The sacrifice Baymax made to save his friend
- How everything for Baymax had to be related to his programming to help people.
- The team of superheroes and their supersuits
- This really was an origin story
Was this movie fun for all ages?
The answer is yes. My three, almost four, year old was glued to the screen nearly the whole time. She found the beginning a little slow, until Baymax showed up on the screen. She loved that robot and so did I. This movie had an epic quality to it. It had everything a child would love, but because of the story it was engaging to adults. It got a little heavy in the beginning because of the death of Hiro's brother. They took the time to show their relationship in the beginning because you needed to be affected by Tadahashi's death. If you weren't then the rest of the movie wouldn't hold the weight that it did. I loved Baymax, I can't remember the time that there has been a character that was more loveable. There's just a sense of warmth when you watch him on screen. You can't help but smile at this big loveable huggable marshmallow. This movie had superheroes, high stakes, loveable characters, heartbreak, pain, adventure, mystery, revenge, heroism, robots, advanced technology, and a wonderful message of not becoming the monster that you're chasing. It had everything a kid would love and everything an adult would love. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie and I think it's worth the cost of seeing it in a theater. I did not see it in 3D but I do think there were some scenes that could benefit from 3D.
