Love how they look. Very much a "Disney" design, but still cool.

I hope Disney didn't change Gogo from a girl to a guy! Her name is now Gog? They did change Wasabi from Japanese to Afician-American. Plus, why didn't they show the official title logo?

The silhouette looks female to me. I think "Gog" was a typo in that article but I'm not sure.

Here are the list of characters in the film. For those that know, and don't know:



Hiro Hamada - Based on the comic character Hiro Takachiho, a brilliant teen with computer skills far beyond his age.

Baymax - The character is basically the same as the comic, he's almost like a robotic best friend, and is largely like the character in the comic, slightly Disneyfied.

Go Go - Known in the comic as GoGo Tomago, she is the bad girl of the group; the one with attitude and reflecting as an outsider in the group. In the film she's a bike messenger.

Wasabi No Ginger - An assassin chef that is an expert knife thrower, think Bullseye if he were a cook.

Honey Lemon - She is the possible love interest for Hiro in the film, a chemist that he has a slight crush on.

Fred - Known in the comic as Fredzilla, he has the ability to transform into monstrous creature, thus explaining the name. In the film he is a comic book geek.

A little note, if you watched the atmosphere teaser that came out a while ago, if you look inside the trolley going down the streets you can see Hiro's inside. Just a little detail that you didn't know and might like.

I know this was discussed before...but since there are 12 pages of already.

How is this a good idea for Disney to use a Marvel license to make a movie that´s going to be part of their canon?

These things should be kept separate. I know the movie has kids as their target audience but:

What about people that don´t like superhero movies? What about people that are not Marvel fans? Or what of the people that are fans of the characters and don´t like what Disney is going to do with that source?

To me this thing can backfire to them.

Just my thought.

Its a very obscure Marvel property which gives Disney license to make the types of changes they make to all their adaptations. Some of the early talk from D23 is that the film looks like it will fit well with what we've come to expect from Disney and will be a very loose adaptation so I don't think there's any great danger of alienating anyone who doesn't like Marvel. If you don't like superhero films then that really can't be helped, some people don't like fairy-tales so I suppose Disny can't appeal to every single person's tastes with every film.

But, Disney has been known since Snow White of the fairy tales. So that doesn´t take anybody by surprise. In fact, the reason people like or dislike Disney is precisely because of what they´re known for.

Also, since it´s a Marvel property the Marvel logo has to be stamped at the beginning of the movie. There´s no way around that.

Big Hero 6 will be in the spirit of Snow White and the other fairy-tales, a loose adaptation that is changed and molded to fit with the values that have become synonymous with Disney. If someone doesn't want to go and see it then they don't have to.

The Marvel logo might be on-screen for a matter of seconds, the film itself will be a lot more Disney than it is Marvel. One of the reasons they've picked an obscure title like Big Hero 6 is so they can make the types of changes you would expect from Disney without upsetting a large, already-established fanbase; Don Hall has already spoken at D23 about how they've approached the robot character Baymax and made changes so that he is an appealing Disney character.

So, they´re just messing with an established comic. That´s better.

I mean, one thing is when Disney does a book/story adaptation an another is to put their hands on "another" company.

Which Disney now owns... so I don't see why it would matter. It's now a part of the Disney Company, which has been adapting all kinds of stories since the 20s and making changes to stories, usually, for the better (I mean, when people think of animated films, the majority of people think that any animated film is either Disney or Pixar).

[DC Fan]

That´s why I said "company".

Still, IMO it doesn´t seem right.

There you have Warner and DC. Warner owns DC since forever and they don´t tell DC what they can or can´t do.

In fact, quite the opposite. When Warner wants do something they have to consult DC first.

Plus, changing something is not for the better. Things are like they are and that´s just it.

For example,

In Spain there´s this debate that most of the times when they dub movies/ TV series is for the better because of the new interpretation, sound or whatever reason. And that´s not right.

You´re taking off the original work of the actor. A dub may "improve" or change for the worst X movie/TV series but in the end the original way was the way intended. Like it or not.

Disney don't do that to Marvel. Don Hall, who is a comic-book fan, wanted to find an obscure comic book that could be adapted as an animated Disney feature, a property that would give him a degree of creative freedom to make the type of changes that are common in Disney's adaptations.

Big Hero 6 suits the interests of both Disney and Marvel; it offers some publicity to one of Marvel's obscure properties that might stir up more interest in the original comic book series while Disney have a property that can be adapted to fit with their own tradition of storytelling.

Plus, changing something is not for the better. Things are like they are and that´s just it.

That logic really doesn't apply to Disney, they've been changing things in the stories they've adapted for more than eight decades.

[Lady Cluck]

The idea that most Disney movies are based on a fairy tale is just wrong. Out of the 53 official WDAS feature films, only 10-12 are really the fairy tale formula depending on how loose of definition you lose.

Even a lot of comic book fans haven't heard of Big Hero 6. 99% of the public will think it's a new creation, but it's a loose Disneyesque adaptation anyway. People need to stop thinking it's going to be an animated version of The Avengers. The characters obviously don't look like this:

Yep, we know the Baymax character has been changed by Disney, I think they said at D23 that they modeled his movement on a baby penguin to make him more endearing.

The team of unique characters in an action film is similar to Atlantis as far as Disney goes, but the story, characters, setting, and art design all sound more interesting.
