Review: Big Hero 6: “The Hyper-potamus Pizza-Party-torium”

Overview 

Due to Graduation Day affecting most of the team’s future prospects, Hiro and a short-handed Big Hero 6 team attempt to stop Noodle Burger Boy and his new family-based primarily on other robotic restaurant mascots…


Our Take

As a jumping-on point for Season 3, Fred attempts to help everyone get into their party-mood as they celebrate Graduation at the grand opening of a new restaurant that was once the former the Noodle Burgar establishment which gets a facelift into a Hippo-themed Chuck-E-Cheese-style place in an effort to remove the image of their former killer robot mascot which makes Noodle Burgar Boy himself also less than thrilled at and decides to make a mascot-themed team to rival the Six to also fill the void of not having any sort of family.

Meanwhile, Fred and Later Hiro come to a fearing realization that someday all the other three Team Members Gogo, Wasabi, and Honey Lemon within their tight-knit group will grow apart outside both their friendships & superhero duties and get jobs and possibly leave both the group and the city of “San Fransokyo” after graduation.

While the central conflict is a realistic one, both stories slowly converge with a meaningful message about not forgetting the people in your life, while also moving forward with your own. The ending also leaves things open for future episodes as Noodle Burgar boy now has given the Big Hero 6 team a challenge they must uphold against as superheroes in future episodes.
