    Default Is Big Hero Six the only Marvel IP that will be Disney re-branded?

    It’s been 7 years now since Disney animation made Big Hero Six.

    I thought by now there would be other properties that Disney animation would research and take from Marvel, and Disney-fying them so to speak.

    But there’s been no other.

    Was Disney choosing Big Hero Six a fluke?

    Has Marvel created an embargo on Marvel characters since?

    I don't know the exact facts, but the rumor I read was that Disney decided it was easier to just do more direct adaptations.

    I think it could be because Big Hero 6 was just so obscure, that they figured Marvel wouldn’t be losing anything if they got the Disney treatment. I’m surprised they didn’t try to give characters like the power pack the Disney treatment. Heck, maybe the rangers could also work as an animated property.

    I think they might be doing this with Moon Girl since that seems to be headlined by Disney Television animation.

    Good point.

    Only it’s a tv cartoon not an animated feature. But otherwise the same situation, since I don’t see a live action Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur happening.

    There's also a Big Hero 6 cartoon.

    That will require a change of her Inhuman origin as it is unlikely the concept will be unchanged with a Disney rebranding.

    And a new series, Baxmax! which I think will have the same CGI animation as the movie; there were Baymax Dreams episodes in CGI.

    Well, her Inhuman nature feels even less relevant compared to Kamala aside from justifying the mind-switching, so they might just find a different a means of working it in.

    Unlike Big Hero Six, it is still Marvel branded though.

    I always thought Crystar the Crystal warrior could work as an animated film like Big Hero 6.
