In the Picture: The Characters from "Big Hero 6"

I just saw “Big Hero 6” and I think it was amazing, Disney did it again. And don’t you just love the characters? Here they are.

Baymax
Voiced by: Scott Adsit
Baymax is a healthcare robot. As such, he is highly intelligent in the world of medic, devoted and extremely caring for his patient in question. Baymax is also slightly naïve as he lacks understanding of human emotion. However, after meeting Hiro, Baymax slowly begins to change, pick up human tendencies and emotions and eventually gains a personality of his own.

Hiro Hamada
Voiced by: Ryan Potter
Hiro is a young boy with intelligence far beyond his years. Because of this he can be rather brazen and cocky, but never to the point of arrogance. He spends much of his time using technology to win money through illegal bot fights. Hiro has a much softer side to him, and he’s shown to be rather shy in front of crowds and during the process of making new friends. Hiro is a free-spirited, innocently sassy, warm and very loving boy.

Tadashi Hamada
Voice by: Daniel Henney
Tadashi is incredibly kind, encouraging and hard-working. He is always there when people need him. He has an energetic sense of humor and can be silly and excitable. Ever the optimist, Tadashi successfully balances his rising career in cutting-edge technology and providing moral and emotional support for his younger brother Hiro.

Go Go Tomago
Voiced by: Jamie Chung
Compared to her teammates, Go Go is tough and extreme, making up for her lack of conversation with bluntness and sarcasm. A straightforward athelete, Go Go lives for the speed and thrill and is willing to take up any challenge.

Honey Lemmon
Voiced by: Genisis Rodriguez
Honey is sweet, sunny, outgoing and humorously photogenic. She loves life and seems to find most things interesting. Eternally optimistic and bright, Honey is the team member who keeps everyone smiling and her sympathy towards other people’s issues can help relive moments of fear and tension within the group.

Fred
Voiced by: T.J. Miller
Fred is incredibly eccentric, zany, childish and rather boisterous. Nevertheless, he is ultimately very sweet, and extremely laid-back, especially when compared to his friends. Due to his nature, he can often sit back and look upon the brighter side of things, even in the face of danger.

Wasabi
Voiced by: Damon Wayans Jr.
Wasabi is neurotic and compulsive, apparently suffering from OCD, as well as a hint of anxiety. Wasabi is the most grounded and appears to be the one with the most common sense. He is easily scared and disturbed when facing intense situations, but he isn’t a coward.

Description: The special bond that develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax (scott Adsit), and prodigy Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter), who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes.

Review: Not everyone was happy when Walt Disney Animation Studios took over Marvel Entertainment in 2009. But with “Big Hero 6” it has proven to be an okay choice, because it’s a heartwarming animation filled with action and adventure.
We meet whiz kid Hiro, who watches his also brilliant older brother Tadashi build robots. When Hiro also invents something and he shows it to the professor at school, something goes horribly wrong. There is an explosion and Hiro’s brother dies. But he decides to continue his brothers work. One of Tadashi’s projects was a white, inflatable robot called Baymax. A funny and very huggable robot that steals the show and wins your heart. Together with his friends and Baymax, Hiro is trying to find the man who stole his invention.
“Big Hero 6” manages to combine Japanese animation with the more traditional cartoon techniques. The movie is on a high artistic level. With that, the movie deals with strong emotions (loss and mourning) and manages to combine that with humor and action. Baymax is the biggest plus of the film, with his clumsy posture and funny sounds. Fist bumps have never been this funny. It’s amazing how a robot can be so loveable.
The scenes between Baymax and Hiro are the best, but even in the dynamic action sequences the central theme is never gone. “Big Hero 6” is again a very unique film by Disney, a definite must-see!

Rating: 4,5/ 5
