Big Hero 6 certainly seems like it’s going to be something a little different from Disney Animation, which perhaps isn’t too much of a surprising considering it’s based on a Marvel property. It’s only a few weeks until it’s released in the US, and so the House Of Mouse decided New York Comic Con would be a good place to show off some new footage.
And now the Sizzle Reel has been released for us all to take a look at, where you can really feel the fusion of Disney, Marvel and Japanese influences, not least the work of Hayao Miyazaki.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” is an action-packed comedy-adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius—thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action, “Big Hero 6” is directed by Don Hall (“Winnie the Pooh”) and Chris Williams (“Bolt”), and produced by Roy Conli (“Tangled”). The film hits UK cinemas in 3D in January 2015.’
