I'm getting a serious Teen Titans vibe from the trailer, which is good.

Outside of Deathstrike (Kabuki Mask) I don't see it

[TurtleTitan97]

Movie looks pretty cool. Looking forward to it.

I'm hoping that if this movie does well, maybe we could get a CG Power Pack film.

Touche. Just a thought.

A loose disney adaptation of Marvel's "Big Hero 6" comicAh. I didn't realize it was based on something.

Ah. I didn't realize it was based on something.

yeah, here is the Marvel version

and here is disney

http://i.imgur.com/tpzHexS.jpg


the movie just seems to be more of an "Americanizing" of the comics, while the comic takes place in Tokyo, but in the movie it will be San Fransokyo


also, the villain is the Deathstrike, but the movie is going to call him Yokai

[BabyTurtles]

I can't wait for this!!

the only thing that I wished they kept from the comics is Fred's awesome godzilla like form!! That would have been cool.

[HayaMika]

There's also these commercils/tv spots.

Baymax's Ocean Tips

Japanese Commercial (KINDA SPOILERISH??? Not really but some consider it as such while I don't personally think it ruins the movie.)

This movie is going to be beyond great... The characters are so adorable (especially Hiro and Baymax) and ugh... I wish it was November already...

[ZariusTwo]

This looks charming, I'm taking a real fondness to Baymax, him chasing after the football was adorkable.

[BabyTurtles]

SAW IT!!!

It was amazing!!! Loved the characters~

I hope Disney can make more animated superhero movies!! XD (it's just sometimes more fun to see something animated~)


no spoilers below just a little fangirling...XD
Wasabi was hilarious! His freak outs lol XD
Honey lemon was endearing~ so adorkable!
GoGo Tomago was kickbutt! Girl had the coolest action scenes!!
Fred was Fred (which is a good thing!! XD)

Hiro was perfect...loved him! (favorite character!)
Baymax was also perfect! His bond with Hiro was so precious....T^T

[SparkFlash]

Saw this today with my two boys and we all enjoyed it! The kids loved it, and I liked it. :)

[turtlefanforever]

I know it's for children but is there any good action scenes in it?

[BabyTurtles]

I know it's for children but is there any good action scenes in it?

Yea it has good action~ the best were from Gogo Tomago and Baymax/Hiro
(and the villain)

[Xiewin]

I absolutely loved this movie. It has it flaws, but I enjoyed it overall.

[DarkLightDragon]

Saw this yesterday. It's a great film, but had a couple issues with it. The pacing being a big one. This movie definitely felt it went by too fast. Second being I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with the 'villain.'

Yokai always looked so awesome in any trailer I saw him in. It made me go, "Wow! This guy looks so scary and awesome! He actually looks like a formidable foe for the heroes to fight and take down!"

And he was....up until that plot twist.

That's not to say I would've enjoyed it better if it really was Kraig (hell, seeing them do another red-herring bad guy like the Duke of Westleton in Frozen made me groan already) but I felt Yokai/Callahagen's whole motive kind of underwhelming and pathetically trying to twist him into yet another sympathetic antagonist.

And don't even get me started on how they resolved his arc in the end. It might sound harsh of me to say, but I'd prefer they kept his daughter a tragic casualty and not a "oh wait, she's still alive! Let's go save her!" a**-pull that it was. There just seemed no reason to care about this character aside from that brief mentioning of her earlier in the film, but even then you probably didn't give it too much thought until the movie said you had to for this climatic moment. And another reason why it sucked? It cheapens the film's overall point on how 'revenge won't make you feel better or bring back lost loved ones.' Hiro had to learn that the hard way with his loss of Tadashi, but this guy gets his daughter back a-okay despite everything he did (inadvertently causing Tadashi to go in the fire to rescue him, stealing Hiro's micro-bots) and tried to do? We have to reward that kind of person, whom was meant to be a dark parallel to Hiro and how dangerous scapegoating can get when feeling grief? True he doesn't really reunite with her and gets carried off in a cop car, but it all still feels so...unfair. Having his daughter be kept dead would've made Yokai/Callahagen a decent tragic-but-still-ruthless villain than one who's just throwing a hissy-fit (with technology that he didn't even create himself) to make him look menacing IMHO.

But yeah, it was still a good movie, if only until the third act.

And the short that plays before it, Feast, was cute and charming.

[Donatello19]

Bless my soul, Disney's on a roll...

This movie was awesome, I loved it! Can't wait to see it again.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm a bit iffy on the whitewashing the characters have suffered, but the movie looks cute.

Isn't it just the one?

[Candy Kappa]

Isn't it just the one?

Fred is originally an Ainu, so he is whitewashed, Aiko (Honey Lemon) is whitewashed as well. Wasabi got racebendt, which is... A bit troublesome. Hiro is biracial in the movie when he was fully Japanese in the comic, which do have it's positive side and negative.

[raph27]

Saw it last night and totally loved it. Plus, the short about the dog was adorable. :D

wait....Honey Lemon isn't hispanic??? thought she was....

also GoGo Tomago is Korean in this movie. (She was Japanese in the comics I think)

Honey Lemon looks like an anime version of her comic counterpart. She doesn't strike me as any less or more of any race than she already was.

So here's the question:
Why are one/two people "whitewashed" and the other "racebendt"? Is it not all the latter (if that is a word?) And why is Wasabi's race now "troublesome"?
And isn't it more ethnically diverse now, which usually is not a bad thing?

[ObiWanFan4life]

I really enjoyed it. It was The Incredibles meets The Iron Giant. Those Baymax plushies are going to sell like hot cakes. Also I loved Stan Lee's Cameo as Fred's father at the end.

[TigerClaw]

Its #1 at the Box Office Now.

Big Hero 6 at #1 with $56,200,000 and Interstellar #2 with $50,000,000

[Zulithe]

Will people shut up about Frozen now? This was way better than Frozen.

[Candy Kappa]

wait....Honey Lemon isn't hispanic??? thought she was....

Her voice actor is Hispanic, not necessarily her character. That's never confirmed, and a voice actor don't define a character's ethnicity.

Honey Lemon looks like an anime version of her comic counterpart. She doesn't strike me as any less or more of any race than she already was.

So here's the question:
Why are one/two people "whitewashed" and the other "racebendt"? Is it not all the latter (if that is a word?) And why is Wasabi's race now "troublesome"?
And isn't it more ethnically diverse now, which usually is not a bad thing?

Honey Lemon was a "reverse weeaboo" so she dyed her hair and wore blue contact lenses, but she still looked asian. Not so much in the movie as she looks like Rapunzel's sister.

Wasabi can't be whitewashed if he is a asian character that's has been turned black, but changing one POC into another POC, is that any better? Plus, they didn't do anything special with Wasabi's design, considering he is yet another buff black guy. But, at least he wasn't whitewashed, so that's something.

In all, Disney should probably just have made a entirely new team, renamed the characters since the setting was changed.

I saw the movie three times this weekend. It was that good and I very much wanted to support it. Heck, I wanted to see it again immediately after seeing it the first time. Very fun, visually stunning (that flying sequence through the city!) and it had a lot of heart. I'm not much of a Disney animation fan but this totally won me over. After looking up the source material I do think it's funny how drastically it became Big Hero 6 in name only and it should have become it's own thing but I don't think it's a big enough title that would warrant any kind of backlash from fans of the comic. still should have been it's own thing but whatever.

As for the "whitewashing", I don't really think it's THAT major of an issue. I didn't mind that Hiro and Tadashi were mixed. That's actually kind of cool considering that interracial families are pretty common these days and isn't even an issue anymore. Other than Fred, all of the major team members were ethnically diverse. Honey Lemon was obviously of different ethnicity that was never defined but then again why should it be and what should it matter? I would have liked if Yokai was fully Japanese but not a major disappointment since people probably would have complained about the villain being Japanese and how that would be bad.

The movie was fantastic and I plan on seeing it again with my nieces on Thanksgiving. Go see it!

And that the City the movie takes place, is a combination of San Fransisco and Tokyo called, San Fransokyo

[mexichrist83]

That didn't bother me so much either. It was a clear merging of two cultures. I don't consider that whitewashing at all. If the movie was set in San Francisco then I'd say yes that is definitely whitewashing. The movie does not take place in any specified time frame (most likely in the future what with their advances in technology and all) and I actually like the thought that this takes place in a future where two cultures would merge together to form a city like San Fransokyo. Those are just my two cents.

[BabyTurtles]

And that the City the movie takes place, is a combination of San Fransisco and Tokyo called, San Fransokyo

Would have loved if the characters spoke a little Japanese in the movie to reflect their city.

Maybe next movie XD

[Peanut]

My nephew really wanted to see this, so I took him this evening. It was his first time at the theatre (he'll be 4 this month) so he was insanely excited about the entire thing. Loved the movie, loved Baymax, wouldn't stop talking about it on the way home. I thought it was really funny and charming. Baymax was a riot.

[Ninjinister]

I would've thought that the toys would have been everywhere at this point. I was looking for the 4 inch ones to put in my Marvel collection but all I saw were the giant Baymax and Fredzilla at a comic shop.

The Walmart near my apartment (and work) had a display for Big Hero 6 Toys. Picked up a Baymax and Yokai. Going to pick up a couple more figures tomorrow. They should be hitting more store shelves soon especially since the movie is doing so well.

Seems Disney was really hesitant about this one.

why? I want my Baymax plushie!!! :x

Hard to say. With the crapfest that is "Dumb and Dumber To" out this weekend hopefully the word of mouth on "Big Hero 6" will have people going to see it this weekend. I'm going to try and see it again this weekend and I'm going again on Thanksgiving with my nieces (making 5 viewing in total). I've already convinced 2 friends who have kids to see it and they all loved it. One of them is even planning on going to see it again this weekend. Hope this gets bigger. I wish there was an IMAX version showing. I'd be there in a heartbeat.

[sdp]

I had no interest in this but the hype makes me want to check it out down the line. I just don't want to watch another marvel super hero movie now, I never enjoyed the incredibles, and generally kids CG movies haven't appealed to me since UP. But yeah Disney is indeed on a roll, too bad they couldn't do that a few years before so John Carter wouldn't have been doomed..

[Candy Kappa]

why? I want my Baymax plushie!!! :x

There's a 15 inch Baymax Plush on the Disney website... But it's sold out. :cry:

Bumping an old thread but for good reason. "Big Hero 6" was nominated for a best animated feature Oscar. I, personally, don't give a crap about the Oscars but it's nice to see that "Big Hero 6" is getting such high praise considering 2014's most beloved animated movie, "The Lego Movie", didn't even get a nomination. I liked Lego but "Big Hero 6" was a much better movie.

Plus Big Hero 6 is a comic book movie, It would be cool if it won best animated feature, Which would be the very first comic book movie to win a major award.

Live action is cool, but you can do so much with animation!! it's practically limitless!

This was a surprise, i saw it 4 times, one of the better comic adaptations in memory.

I also thought it was a nice tribute to anime and Power Rangers, Baymax stole the show and who else cried near the end?

I saw this 5 times in theaters and I would have gladly watched it a couple more times. Every time I saw it I could hear people making verbal reactions to the more emotional scenes and there was always sniffling at the end. I even still got choked up from it and that rarely happens with movies and tv shows for me. Fantastic flick!

Can't wait to pick it up at the end of February. There's going to be several release versions:
Best Buy will have a version with a lenticular slip cover
Walmart will have a version with a bonus disc of extra features
Target will have a steelbook with great cover art
Disney Store preorders get a set of lithographs featuring scenes from the movie

I'll be getting the steelbook for sure and maybe even the walmart version for the bonus disc

Haven't seen all of the animated movies nominated, but BH6 well deserved it over How to Train Your Dragon 2.

[Autbot_Benz]

Booooooooooooo.

agreed The not nominated Lego Movie should have won :(

[BabyTurtles]

Haven't seen all of the animated movies nominated, but BH6 well deserved it over How to Train Your Dragon 2.

I loved both movies~ And I'm glad HTTYD2 got other awards ^_^ it won the annie and golden globe!

but as a whole I felt BH6 was better.

HTTYD2 looked beautiful and it had very emotional moments, but I felt BH6's story was more put together as a whole and felt less all over the place. (I kinda wish the mother was the villain instead of Drago....Drago felt a little too "I'm evil cause I'm evil")

also I like how we saw BH6's team more....in HTTYD2 it felt like only Astrid was important in the team (other than Hiccup and Toothless). in HTTYD1 it showed the crew off much better.

also San Fransokyo! That place was amazing to look at! *_* and bonus for a diverse team~

though if I had one complaint about BH6 I'd be that we didn't see enough fighting.....I mean it IS a superhero movie XD But I'll give Disney some leeway since it's pretty much their first attempt at a straight up animated action movie.

Speaking of which, which do you think will win next year? Inside Out or The Good Dinosaur?

I don't know...I haven't even seen anything on The Good Dinosaur yet....So I can't make any comments on it XD....

but I saw Inside Out's trailer and it looks super cool~

Dreamworks is also making "Home" which I'm super excited to see too!

but you know....you have to watch the movies to see if they are any good cause looks can be deceiving and I've been deceived before! (I'm looking at you Hotel Transylavania)

Home, I'm not so sure about. Some of the jokes made me laugh, but I'm convinced that the main character is going to be incredibly annoying, and dreamworks is still doing that thing I absolutely hate: making pop culture jokes.

[raph27]

Good for BH6, even though I'm still ticked off at them for not even nominating The Lego Movie. :x

Home, I'm not so sure about. Some of the jokes made me laugh, but I'm convinced that the main character is going to be incredibly annoying, and dreamworks is still doing that thing I absolutely hate: making pop culture jokes.

Which main character? The alien or the girl?

I'm a little done with the whole "hands in the their" joke but, I'm thinking they are just holding off the juicy stuff until the movie.

I know BH6 spammed that "tape" scene with Baymax for awhile XD

[mexichrist83]

Very cool of Big Hero 6 to win an oscar for best animated film. I don't really give a crap about the oscars or other awards but I'm glad the movie is getting recognition. The movie is fantastic and, coincidentally, I managed to see it again (for the 6th time) in theaters yesterday because I took my parents and my nieces to see it. Had no idea I was taking them to see an oscar winner haha. Can't wait to pick up the limited edition bluray Steelbook tomorrow!

[mexichrist83]

Posted this in the most Latest DVD and Blu-ray Purchases thread but thought it'd be fitting to post here as well since it is relevant to the topic:

Picked up two copies of the Target exclusive limited edition "Big Hero 6" bluray steelbook this morning (one for me and one for a friend). I managed to get a couple put on hold for me last night and I'm so glad I got them on hold because my local Target only got 12 in stock and I didn't see any of them available when I got there this morning when they opened. Going to get the Walmart exclusive set that comes with an extra DVD and give that copy to my family. I'll be keeping the extra DVD of bonus features since they don't care about that kind of stuff.

Very cool! I enjoyed it a ton, and I hope Disney's able to nab up a few more obscure-ish Marvel properties to handle like this.

And to think Marvel was allegedly really upset (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09/04/that-disneymarvel-bust-up-over-big-hero-6/) about how Disney planned to handle the movie (which would explain why there's no Marvel logo attached to it like every other movie based on their properties).

Either way, clearly things worked out pretty well!

You gotta let Disney do what it does Marvel~

[BubblyShell22]

Mom and I watched the movie on DVD today, and we loved it. We weren't able to see it in the theaters, but we were glad to get it on DVD. I loved the action and the overall story. My mom guessed who the villain was right off the bat, but I agree with DLD that it was convoluted how they handled the story, especially with what Hiro went through and what he was struggling with. But other than that, I loved the movie and thought it was brilliant. I'm glad it won the Oscar.
