Progress:
"Balalala~"
Oh yeah, it's time to discuss:
Big Hero 6.
The movie is centered around a teen genius named Hiro Hamada.
His brother, Tadashi, persuades him to enroll in the robotics program at a university.
To get into the school, Hiro participates for the science fair and presents microbots:
swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable.
Professor Callaghan, head of the robotics program, is impressed, and grants Hiro admission.
Suddenly, while Tadashi and Hiro were outside, a fire broke out at the university.
Tadashi rushes in to save Callaghan, but the building explodes moments later.
Before Tadashi died, he created Baymax, a inflatable healthcare companion robot.
Baymax, trying to cheer Hiro up,
follows Hiro's only remaining microbot to an abandoned warehouse.
They discovered a man, in a Kabuki mask, mass producing microbots.
They are soon attacked and escaped for their lives.
Hiro equips Baymax with a armor and a chip containing karate moves.
They also enlist their friends Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred
to form a superhero team.

Hiro equips Baymax with a armor and a chip containing karate moves.
They also enlist their friends Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred
to form a superhero team.
The team tracks down the Kabuki man.
The man attacks, but the team manages to knock off the mask, revealing Callaghan, who stole Hiro's microbots to shield himself from the fire and left Tadashi to die.
A furious Hiro orders Baymax to kill Callaghan, but their friends stops them in time.
Baymax reminds Hiro that vengeance is not what Tadashi would have wanted.
A remorseful Hiro apologizes to his friends for getting mad at them when they let Callaghan go.
The team reunites to stop Callaghan once and for all.
They discover that Callaghan is seeking revenge on Alastair Krei.
Krei, was in charge of a teleportation tech lab,
until a test pilot, Callaghan's daughter, was lost in an accident.
The team destroys Callaghan's microbots and save Krei, but a teleportation portal, that Callaghan opened, is active and unstable.
Baymax detects Callaghan's daughter and he and Hiro jumps into the portal.
While in the portal, Baymax is damaged.
Baymax uses his armor's rocket fist to propel Hiro and the daughter to safety,
forcing them to leave Baymax behind.
Sometime later, Hiro discovers Baymax's personality chip clenched into the rocket fist.
Hiro rebuilds Baymax and the six friends live
"Happily Ever After".
Reflection:
I cried.
The themes in this film was so profoundly touching in the ways that they were presented.
First is, "Violence is not the answer" and "Friends and Family help each other".
Hiro faces a difficult situation when he learns the truth about Callaghan.
In that moment, he attempts to kill Callaghan by removing Baymax's "good" chip.
If Gogo, Wasabi, Fred, or Honey Lemon wasn't there to stop Baymax and Hiro,
this movie would probably not be for Disney.
The wonderful thing is that Baymax and the team knows and understand why Hiro would react that way.
My eyes got very teary when Baymax was comforting Hiro and he showed video recordings of Tadashi running tests during Baymax's development.
Tadashi refused to give up on Baymax despite many failures.
That parallels in the way Baymax helps Hiro.
Baymax reminds Hiro to not give up.
Violence was not the way to go because that path is for villains.
Heroes find different and better way.
The robot knows how one's emotions is very important to their health.
Baymax gives Hiro the best medication one can receive:
the support of family and friends.
A second theme would be that "Everyone has a important role".
The team realizes that they work best when they are together.
They all have their unique and different gifts,
but they become stronger when they unite and fight.
All six of the heroes have different tactics or methods, but they all work towards a common goal.
When something suddenly changes, they know what to do because that common goal focuses them.
When all their talents come together, the group has all their bases covered.
The Big Hero 6 can be my heroes any day.
