Big Hero 6 Junior Novelization by Walt Disney Company

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A very enjoyable retelling of the film. Big Hero 6 follows the story of Hiro, whose brother Tadashi prods him into entering a science expo in order to attend university. Hiro wins the contest with his microbots but a subsequent fire destroys his invention and kills Tadashi.

Hiro discovers Baymax, a cuddly marshmallow robot invented by his brother to provide health care. When Hiro finds that some of his microbots survived and are being used by an evil villain, he wants answers, and to do that, he adds armor and fighting moves to Baymax's programming and gets a little help from his brother's friends.

Overall, Big Hero 6 is a far deeper story than it's plot suggests. It's a great juvenile adventure story, but like all the best Disney movies, it's a type of film that speaks to audiences whatever their age as it deals with themes such as revenge, grief, loss, and love.

The only problem with this book is that it's practically a description of everything that happened on film with no changes. This isn't a problem for most of the book. However, certain scenes of action and training on film should have been fleshed out in the book. Instead, they're described with brief expeditionary sentences.

Still, it was an enjoyable adaptation that reminded me of what made this movie so special
