Big Hero 6

Movie · 2014

Big Hero 6 is a warm, action-packed animated film with a lot of heart, but it deals directly with sudden loss and grief alongside comic-book-style peril and villain sequences that may be intense for younger viewers. The emotional weight of losing a loved one is a central theme throughout the story.

Generally comfortable for ages 7 and up, with parental presence recommended for sensitive children around ages 6 to 8.
