Say hello to Big Hero 6... and really, who are they?


The folks at Disney Animation Studios are beginning to leak footage and concept art for the CG-animated “Big Hero 6” which hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014.

But, unless you are a hard core comic book fan, it's likely you are not familiar with the 6 and may be a little mystified about the hula-ba-loo over this anticipated film.

Digging deep into the Marvel Comics universe, you'll find Big Hero 6, a motley team of superhuman operatives for the Japanese government.  A rather obscure team that debuted in 1998 (Sunfire & Big Hero 6) but may be more well-known for their appearance in the 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man "Ends of the Earth" series when Spidey calls on them to help defeat Dr. Octopus's attempts to destroy the world.

The film will mark the first Disney animation adaptation of a Marvel-based story line.  While it may be an interesting choice to begin with, it certainly leaves a lot of room for character development and creativity in story plots.  We're certainly curious to see how this play out.




Official Logline: 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.
