‘Big Hero 6’ – Tadashi Speaks from Beyond the Grave
“Big Hero 6” already starts in a sad place, because the lead’s parents are already dead. You think, okay, well, maybe that’s a relief; Disney can’t kill them off. Except Disney has other tragedies in store. Tadashi, Hiro’s brother and de facto parent, dies. But his death scene isn’t even the saddest one. No, the real tearjerker in this movie is Hiro seeing videos of his brother Tadashi after his death. Tadashi says something nice about his Hiro, which is hard enough to watch, but then Hiro puts his hand on the screen lovingly. You can feel the love and loss in that moment. It’s devastating.
