BIG HERO 6 – Disney’s First Marvel Animated Movie Announced

BIG HERO 6, Marvel’s Japanese Super Hero Team is getting the Disney animated treatment. Hiro Hamada and his faithful robot companion Baymax will be assembling a team of reluctant heroes inspired from Japan’s finest and most fun heroes to battle… something. Here’s the official breakdown and test footage:

“From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Big Hero 6,” an action comedy adventure about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action and all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the CG-animated “Big Hero 6” hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014.“

I’m really impressed how Marvel is going all out with it’s interesting and obscure properties. They have all their big hits in the air with X-Men, Avengers, Ironman, Thor and Spider-Man that I never really thought properties like Ant Man Guardians of the Galaxy and now Big Hero 6 would get ANY attention. With the wealth of action and characters and inspirations they have to draw from I’m really excited to see how they pull this off!
