PLOT

Hiro Hamada is a 14-year-old robotics genius in the futuristic fictional city of San
Fransokyo. Raised by his aunt Cass and older brother Tadashi after the death of his parents, he
spends his time participating in illegal robot fights. To redirect Hiro, Tadashi takes him to the
robotics center at his university, where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey
Lemon, and Fred, as well as Baymax, the inflatable healthcare companion robot Tadashi created

To enroll in the school, Hiro signs up for the school's science fair and presents microbots,
swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable. Professor Callaghan,
the head of the university's robotics program, is impressed, and grants Hiro entrance to the
university. Alistair Krei, renowned entrepreneur and president of Krei Tech, offers to buy the
microbots, but Hiro declines. When a fire breaks out at the university, Tadashi rushes in to
rescue Callaghan, but the building explodes, apparently killing both Tadashi and Callaghan.

Weeks later, a depressed Hiro inadvertently activates Baymax, who follows Hiro's only
remaining microbot to an abandoned warehouse. There, the two discover that someone has
been mass-producing microbots, and are attacked by a man wearing a Kabuki mask controlling
the bots. After they escape, Hiro equips Baymax with armor and a battle chip containing
various karate moves, and they track the masked man to the docks. GoGo, Wasabi, Honey
Lemon, and Fred arrive, and the masked man attacks the group. The six escape to Fred's
mansion, where they begin to form a superhero team, with Hiro creating armor for his friends to
complement each one's area of scientific expertise.

The group tracks the masked man, who they suspect to be Krei, to an abandoned secret
Krei Tech laboratory, which they find was researching teleportation technology until a test pilot
was lost in an accident. The masked man attacks, but the group manages to knock off his mask,
revealing him to be Professor Callaghan, who had stolen Hiro's microbots to shield himself from
the explosion. Realizing that Tadashi had died for nothing, the enraged Hiro removes Baymax's
personality/healthcare chip, leaving only the battle chip, and orders him to kill Callaghan. Honey
re-installs the chip at the last second, preventing Baymax from doing so. Callaghan escapes, and
Hiro, furious at his friends' intervention, flies off with Baymax. Back home, Hiro tries to remove
the chip again, but Baymax prevents him, stating that vengeance is not what Tadashi would have
wanted. To comfort him, Baymax shows Hiro videos of Tadashi running tests during Baymax's
development. A remorseful Hiro apologizes to his friends, who forgive him since they understand
his pain, and the team reunites to stop Callaghan.
The group discovers that Krei's test pilot was Callaghan's daughter Abigail, and that
Callaghan is seeking revenge on Krei. Callaghan interrupts a public Krei event and attempts to
destroy his headquarters using a teleportation portal. The team destroys Callaghan's microbots
and saves Krei, but the portal becomes unstable. Baymax detects Abigail inside, alive but in
hyper-sleep, and leaps into the portal with Hiro to rescue her. They find Abigail's pod, but
Baymax is damaged by debris, leaving them adrift inside the portal. Baymax uses his armor's
rocket fist to propel Hiro and Abigail back through the portal, forcing them to leave him behind.
They make it back and Callaghan is arrested. Sometime later, Hiro discovers Baymax's
personality chip clenched in the rocket fist. He rebuilds Baymax and the six friends continue their
exploits through the city, fulfilling Tadashi's dream of helping those in need.

During the end credits, it is shown through newspaper headlines that Hiro has been
awarded a grant from the university, where a building has been dedicated to Tadashi. In apost-
credits scene, Fred accidentally opens a secret door in his family mansion and finds superhero
gear inside. His father, a retired superhero (Stan Lee), arrives stating "We have a lot to talk
about" as they embrace each other.

CAST

Ryan Potter as Hiro Hamada,

a 14-year-old robotics prodigy. Speaking of the character, co-director Don Hall said "Hiro is
transitioning from boy to man, it's a tough time for a kid and some teenagers develop that
inevitable snarkiness and jaded attitude. Luckily Ryan is a very likeable kid. So no matter
what he did, he was able to take the edge off the character in a way that made him authentic,
but appealing".

Daniel Henney as Tadashi Hamada,

Hiro's older brother and Baymax's creator. On Hiro and Tadashi's relationship, Conli said
"We really wanted them to be brothers first. Tadashi is a smart mentor. He very subtly
introduces Hiro to his friends and what they do at San Fransokyo Tech. Once Hiro sees
Wasabi, Honey, GoGo, and even Fred in action, he realizes that there's a much bigger world
out there than [sic] really interests him".

Scott Adsit as Baymax,

an inflatable robot built by Tadashi as a medical assistant. Hall said "Baymax views the world
from one perspective he just wants to help people, he sees Hiro as his patient".
Producer Roy Conli said "The fact that his character is a robot limits how you can emote, but
Scott was hilarious. He took those boundaries and was able to shape the language in a way
that makes you feel Baymax's emotion and sense of humor. Scott was able to relay just how
much Baymax cares".

T. J. Miller as Fred,

a comic-book fan who also plays the mascot at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.
Speaking of Miller, Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to
his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected",
both literally and metaphorically.

Jamie Chung as GoGo,

a tough, athletic student. Hall said "She's definitely a woman of few words. We looked at
bicycle messengers as inspiration for her character".

Damon Wayans, Jr. as Wasabi,

a smart, slightly neurotic youth. On the character, co-director Chris Williams said "He's
actually the most conservative, cautioushe [sic] the most normal among a group of
brazen characters. So he really grounds the movie in the second act and becomes, in a
way, the voice of the audience and points out that what they're doing is crazy".

Gnesis Rodrguez as Honey Lemon,

a chemistry enthusiast at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Williams said "She's a


glass-is-half-full kind of person. But she has this mad-scientist quality with a twinkle in her
eye there's more to Honey than it seems".

James Cromwell as Professor Robert Callaghan,

the head of a robotics program at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology who becomes
an extremley powerful masked supervillain terrorist. His supervillain alter ego is called
Yokai, according to film merchandising.

Alan Tudyk as Alistair Krei,

a pioneer entrepreneur, tech guru and the CEO of Krei Tech and is always on the hunt for
the next big thing.

Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass, Hiro and Tadashi's aunt and guardian.
Stan Lee as Fred's father. His likeness was used for his character.
Katie Lowes as Abigail Callaghan, the daughter of Professor Callaghan and a test pilot for
Krei Tech.
Daniel Gerson as Desk Sergeant
Billy Bush as newscaster

Moral values

Life is unfair. Or so it seems.

Life sometimes seems unfair. Tadashi died trying to save Callaghan, who burned down his
own school on purpose in order to steal Hiro's microbots. This act of selfishness cost
Tadashi's life. When Tadashi died, it is inevitable to feel a sense of injustice. A "good" person
died for someone who's "bad". If you stopped watching the film here, you would have
missed the bigger picture, which is that Hiro would have never went onto form the Big Hero
6 team if it weren't for that tragedy.

True friends are always there.

Hiro was in a dark place when his brother past. But the silver lining is that through this tragedy, Hiro
realized who his real friends are. Gogo and the others send a heart-warming e-message to Hiro to let
him know that they care about him. The lowest points in your life are undoubtedly the most difficult,
but these are also the times that you know who your true friends are because they are the ones that
stick by you.

Don't judge a man's righteousness by his looks or words.

When Alistair Krei wanted to by the microbot technology from Hiro, Callaghan interrupted their
conversation by calling out Krei and saying that he is a "man guided only by his own self interest".
Well, the hypocrisy was on Callaghan. The man guided by self interest was not Krei, but Callaghan. At
this point, he already planned the burning of the building in order to steal the microbots and take his
personal revenge on Krei. Callaghan lied, his lie cost Tadashi's life, and he stole from Hiro. At Krei
offered to pay for Hiro's technology.

Don't judge a man's wealth by his looks or words either.

Fred was rich. More precisely, his family was rich. But everyone else on the team thought he had no
status in the society. You can't always tell a man's background by looking at him, or talking with him.
Always have a plan.

It good to be spontaneous sometimes when it comes to having fun. But when it comes to important
tasks and missions when a lot of things are at stake, you better have a plan. The first time the heroes
went after Callaghan, they got embarrassed because they didn't have a plan, which ended with Hiro
turning his back on everyone because he wanted to kill Callaghan but nobody else supported his
decision. The second time however, they came up with a plan to NOT go after Callaghan's mask, but
the microbots, and they defeated Callaghan.
