My husband and I took Hayden to see Big Hero 6 when it first hit theaters so we could enjoy some bonding time just the three of us. We absolutely loved the movie and we were quoting it for weeks after. I even made a DIY Baymax Mug that I enjoy my morning coffee in – it’s my own personal health companion because we all know how much we need coffee, right?

Hayden had been sick for the last week with the flu but when an advanced copy of Big Hero 6 showed up on our door, he was overjoyed. We quickly settled in as a family to watch it again. I absolutely love this movie and it seems so does everyone else – it just recently surpassed Beauty and the Beast to become Disney’s third grossing film after Frozen and The Lion King. It also recently won the Oscar for Best Animated Film!

With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” is an action-packed comedy adventure that introduces Baymax, a lovable, personal companion robot, who forms a special bond with robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to Baymax and his diverse group of friends — adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred — who transform into a band of unlikely heroes. Bring home Disney’s “Big Hero 6,” featuring comic-book-style action and hilarious, unforgettable characters — it’s fun for the whole family!

Bonus Features

There’s not many movies out there where I actually want to sit down and watch ALL the bonus features, but Big Hero 6 is one of them. Check out below for the full list:

·         FEAST Theatrical Short {It also recently won the Oscar for Best Animated Short!}

·         The Origin Story of “Big Hero 6”: Hiro’s Journey (hosted by Jamie Chung, voice of Go Go Tomago) – Join the team behind the team that brought Big Hero 6 to the big screen as they travel on research trips to Tokyo and San Francisco and go behind the scenes of this epic film. Explore everything comic-book about Big Hero 6, from director Don Hall’s passion for comics to the story’s roots in a lesser known Marvel property. We’ll talk to Marvel’s Joe Quesada and Jeph Loeb, who were consultants on the film, to learn what makes a good comic-book story, and how these devices were used to help create Disney’s “Big Hero 6.”

·         Big Animator 6: The Characters Behind the Characters – Join the six lead animators of Big Hero 6 as they talk about each of the characters and how they came to be the heroes they are now.

·         Gag Animations (intro by Directors Don Hall & Chris Williams) – For fun, animators made alternate versions of scenes they were working on and threw them into the mix at review sessions. The directors will present some of these gags for the first time to the public in this piece. {This is only on Disney Movies Anywhere}

·         Beatmax – Check out some of Baymax’s greatest lines auto-tuned like you’ve never heard before. {This is only on Disney Movies Anywhere – check out the sneak peek below!}

I loved being able to watch FEAST again – it’s such a great short and anyone with kids and a dog will relate. The deleted scenes were great and I especially loved the Big Hero Secrets – lots of Easter Eggs for you Frozen fans out there!

DIY Baymax Shirt

Hayden loves Baymax so much – Ba La La – that we made an easy DIY Baymax shirt. The Disney Store has a lot of cute Big Hero 6 items for sale but nothing like the shirt I envisioned for Hayden. Even better, it’s SO easy to make this shirt. If you’ve read any of my craft tutorials before, you know I like easy and I most definitely DO NOT sew. So all I bought was a kid’s t-shirt, black felt and some fabric glue. I thought about using paint but I liked the look of the black felt.

If you want, you can print this template of Baymax’s face and then place on top of the felt and cut around it. I kind of just used the template as a guide to cut out the perfect shape of his eyes and mouth. Use fabric glue to put the felt on the shirt and you’re done! Easiest shirt I’ve ever made!
