Goofs

When Hiro first meets everyone at the college, Honey says her ball of carbide weighs 400 pounds. In reality, a ball of carbide measuring 36" in diameter (judging size from the film) would weigh over 14,000 pounds. This is not necessarily a goof, as it is not stated that the ball of carbide is solid.

Disney old magic

Inspired by Frozen I started my search for new Disney movie which will offer me same "Disney magic" as i experienced in Lion King, Pocahontas, Bugs life, Frozen etc.

So I found Big hero 6, and the magic started. This movie is made for all ages. What i find very interesting in this new Disney movie is that he is very educational, specially for children, but grown ups will enjoy ether. characterization is very deep , and you will feel as you are one of the characters in this beautiful story. Visual effects are stunning, so u will experience another Disney master piece.

After seeing this movie , I would really recommend it to all movie lovers, especially fans of the Disney cartoon movies. If you are looking for an intelligent and inspiring cartoon movie for your youngest, you can stop looking because you just found it.
