Own an Oscar Winner Today – Big Hero 6 Available Everywhere!

Big Hero 6 Oscar Winner for Best Animated FeatureBig Hero 6 is a huge favorite movie in our home. We first showed the kids the movie during Christmas vacation and we recently got a copy of the movie on DVD and Blu-Ray. Since we received it we have watched it a bunch of times. We’re also connected to the movie because I got to go and interview the creators of Big Hero 6 last year and I am so happy that those guys are now Oscar winners.

In addition to Big Hero 6 winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Feast also won for best Animated Short. Feast is included on the DVD/Blu-ray release. It is a wonderful little short about a cute dog named Winston.

Big Hero 6 is one excellent movie. It has a great origin story for a new team of heroes. There is heart, conflict, loss, humor, tragedy and fun all rolled into the amazing movie. I can’t say enough good about this movie. Pick it up today!

I have a couple of special items including a character slideshow, and videos on movie Easter Eggs and Mixmaster Baymax.
