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 07-15-2014 03:00 PM
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.

I'm afraid I just don't understand what this is supposed to be.

yeah, here is the Marvel version

http://theboomtube.com/wp-content/up...ok-600x935.jpg

Fred's kaiju form
http://i.imgur.com/IQb4ZLl.jpg


and here is disney




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 07-16-2014 07:08 PM
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 08-10-2014 02:27 PM
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.)


Meet the Hero


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 08-10-2014 03:21 PM
This looks charming, I'm taking a real fondness to Baymax, him chasing after the football was adorkable.

BabyTurtles 11-08-2014 12:24 AM
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
Spoiler:
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 11-08-2014 06:39 PM
Saw this today with my two boys and we all enjoyed it! The kids loved it, and I liked it. :)

turtlefanforever 11-08-2014 06:49 PM
hmm
 
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 11-08-2014 10:16 PM
I absolutely loved this movie. It has it flaws, but I enjoyed it overall.

DarkLightDragon 11-09-2014 07:17 AM
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.

Spoiler:
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 11-09-2014 11:30 AM
Bless my soul, Disney's on a roll...

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

Candy Kappa 11-09-2014 11:57 AM
I'm a bit iffy on the whitewashing the characters have suffered, but the movie looks cute.

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 11-09-2014 03:11 PM
Saw it last night and totally loved it. Plus, the short about the dog was adorable. :D

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 11-09-2014 06:18 PM
I really enjoyed it. It was The Incredibles meets The Iron Giant. Those Baymax plushies are going to sell like hot cakes. Also
Spoiler:
I loved Stan Lee's Cameo as Fred's father at the end.

TigerClaw 11-09-2014 07:11 PM
Its #1 at the Box Office Now.

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

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

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 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

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.

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

Maybe next movie XD

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 11-11-2014 08:20 PM
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.

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.
