Memorable Quotes:
Baymax: [upon fist-bumping] : Balalalala
Baymax: [to Hiro, who’s stuck and buried under a pile of action figures] On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?
Hiro: [irritated] Zero.
Baymax: It is alright to cry.
Hiro: No! No, no, no, no, no!
Baymax: [picks up Hiro and holds him like a baby] Crying is a natural response to pain.
Hiro: [jumps out of Baymax’s arms] I’m not crying.
Baymax: I will scan you for injuries.
Hiro: [firmly] DON’T scan me.
Baymax: Scan complete.
Hiro: Unbelievable.
Baymax: You have sustained no injuries. However, your hormone and neurotransmitter levels indicate that you are experiencing mood swings, common in adolescence. Diagnosis: puberty.
Hiro: [surprised] Whoa, what?
Fred: [singing] Six intrepid friends, led by Fred, their leader, Freeeeed! Fred’s Angels, mm-mm-mm! Fred’s Angels, mm-mm-mm! Harnessing the power of the sun with the ancient amulet they found in the attic! Mmm-m-mm! The amulet is green! Mmm-m-mm! It’s prob’ly an emerald…
Wasabi: Fred? I will LASER-HAND you in the face!
Fun Fact: When Baymax first tests out his new rocket fist in Fred’s mansion, the statue that it destroys is a statue of Hans from Frozen.
Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was great for kids. There is the sadness aspect when Hiro’s brother dies, but most younger children will not even understand. This movie has strong, positive characters that any parent will be happy to have their children watch. Plus the movie is funny which will entertain both you and your children!
Have you seen this movie? Give us your thoughts!
Have a Happy Saturday!
