“We didn’t set out to be superheroes. But sometimes life doesn’t go the way you planned.”

Be a superhero to the kids in your life. Bring them to see Disney’s Big Hero 6, a movie they, and you, will love!

“Michael O’Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film 3.5/4 stars, writing that “The real appeal of Big Hero 6 isn’t its action. It’s the central character’s heart.” Maricar Estrella of Fort Worth Star-Telegram gave the film 5 stars, saying it ‘offers something for everyone: action, camaraderie, superheroes and villains. But mostly, Baymax offers a compassionate and healing voice for those suffering, and a hug that can be felt through the screen.’…Kofi Outlaw of Screen Rant gave the film 4 out of 5 stars or ‘excellent’, explaining that ‘Big Hero 6 combines Disney wonder and charm with Marvel awe and action to deliver a film that exhibits the best of both studios.’” — Wikipedia
