As a big Disney fan I'm very curious to see what will happen with this next upcoming one, their 54th entry in the Disney Animated Canon. With Frozen seemingly at the end of its monumental run, here's hoping we'll start getting more info.

Finally, there's a new look at BH6, in anticipation of Thursday's trailer.





At a first glance, I'm kind of disappointed. I would have appreciated a little visual shorthand in regards to Hiro's appearance, but these are just stills. Hopefully the trailer is more interesting and hopefully some of the Japanese characters come out looking less whitewashed.

[Xalfrea]

Hey, great finds. Where did you get them?

Hiro looks OK, and Baymax for some reason I just find adorable. Maybe its the dot eyes on the giant robot. Looking forward to seeing it in motion.

[Ceebiro]

I found them on ComicBookMovie.com, as they're usually the fastest at picking up on these scoops.

I'm still hoping for the best with this one. I think this could have as much impact on the use of Marvel properties as GotG will.

[Xalfrea]

It'll depend though on Disney, as they're the primary ones behind this as opposed to Marvel. Though I think "Disney/Marvel's Big Hero 6" could have much more power to it.

The main factor that worries me is the ungodly success of Frozen. People might be expecting that the next big Disney movie will be another fairy tale and may be disappointed with Disney doing superheroes instead.

On the other hand, superheroes are the big thing right now, and people accepted Pixar's The Incredibles perfectly fine, so...

[Ceebiro]

I don't expect this to be anywhere near the success of Frozen, but I think Disney is hoping for something along the lines of Wreck-it-Ralph in box office take - $450 million is a good first take for a "new" property in and outside of the superhero subgenre.

[Kencana]

I'm waiting for this movie!

I love Disney and Marvel, so of course I'm gonna watch this. I'm curious about Go Go Tomago and Honey Lemon.

[Joe Acro]

I'll wait for the trailer to reserve true judgement, but I was expecting something different.

[Xalfrea]

Maybe this is the "style" they'll go with. Notice how certain blocks of Disney movies tend to use similar animation styles or aspects among them? For example, look at early Disney Renaissance with Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Lion King having very expressive eyes.

My guess is that Big Hero 6 is part of that same block with Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen as far as the CGI animation goes.

Wow, this looks really interesting. Going to be keeping my eye on this.

Yeah me too .. I doubt Sunfire or Silver Samurai will be in this .. I need a little more viewing to give an opinion

They won't be. Fox has the rights for them.

That said, I'm looking forward for the movie. A little disappointed it won't take place in the MCU. And the "San Fransokyo" ugh.

[mugiwara]

So not only is the story not happening in Japan anymore, but instead in "SanFrancistokyo", but now the anime mecha looking Baymax is changed into some Pixar crap.

I still want this movie to work to prove that something other than Grandpa Lee's characters can be successful in theaters, but damn that's anoying.

[Xalfrea]

And I'm perfectly OK with that.

Because this is freaking Disney. They're treating Big Hero 6 as a source well to make something new, original, and varied. You know, like nearly every other big movie they made?

Besides, if you want to root for a movie that can prove something other than Stan Lee's can have theater viability, there's always Guardians of the Galaxy. I think it's best to treat this particular outing as something different and not as just a mere adaptation of a comic book like what MCU or other comic book movies are doing right now.

In a way, movie Baymax is both more and less generic than comic book Baymax.
