Big Hero 6 is an upcoming American 3D computer-animated superhero film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and inspired by the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name.[1] The film will be directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, and will be the 54th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. Big Hero 6 will be the first Disney animated film to feature Marvel characters since The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in 2009.[2] The film will be released on November 7, 2014[3] by Walt Disney Pictures.[4]

Production
After Disney's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in 2009, CEO Bob Iger encouraged the company's divisions to explore Marvel's properties for adaptation concepts.[12] While co-directing Winnie the Pooh, director Don Hall chose Big Hero 6 from Marvel's library and later pitched the concept to John Lasseter in 2011, as a possible production for Walt Disney Animation Studios.[3] In June 2012, Disney confirmed that Walt Disney Animation Studios was adapting Marvel Comics' series and that the film was commissioned into early stages of development.[13][14] While both Sunfire and Silver Samurai were original team members in the comic, they will not appear in the film due to Marvel's X-Men contract with 20th Century Fox, which gives the latter the film rights to the characters.[15]
Big Hero 6 will be produced solely by Walt Disney Animation Studios,[16] although several members of Marvel's creative team will be involved in the film's production including Joe Quesada, Marvel's chief creative officer.[17] Regarding the film's story, Quesada stated, "The relationship between Hiro and his robot has a very Disney flavor to it...but it’s combined with these Marvel heroic arcs."[3] The production team decided early on not to connect the film to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and set it in a stand-alone universe instead.[18]
In terms of the film's animation style and settings, the film will combine Eastern world culture (predominantly Japanese) with Western world culture.[19] In May 2013, Disney released concept art and rendered footage of San Fransokyo from the film.[20] On December 31, 2013, it was reported that Chris Williams had joined Hall as director, while Roy Conli had replaced Kristina Reed as producer.[21]
In researching robotics, the film's team consulted with engineers at Carnegie Mellon University who were working in the new field of "soft robotics" using inflatable vinyl. Hall stated that the technology "will have potential probably in the medical industry in the future, making robots that are very pliable and gentle and not going to hurt people when they pick them up." In terms of Baymax's design, Hall mentioned that the look of the mechanical armor took some time "because of the sheer amount of robots out there and just trying to get something that felt like the personality of the character." Co-director Williams stated "A big part of the design challenge is when he puts on the armor you want to feel that he’s a very powerful intimidating presence...at the same time, design-wise he has to relate to the really adorable simple vinyl robot underneath."[22]
Release
Big Hero 6 will be released on November 7, 2014.[3] The teaser trailer was released on May 22, 2014.[23] The first full trailer was released on July 15, 2014.[24] Theatrically, the film will be accompanied by the Walt Disney Animation Studios short, Feast.[25]
Other media
A Japanese manga adaptation of Big Hero 6 (which is titled Vorlage:Nihongo in Japan), illustrated by Haruki Ueno, will begin serialization in Kodansha's Magazine Special from August 20, 2014. A prologue chapter will be published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine on August 6, 2014.[26] According to the film's official Japanese website, the manga will reveal plot details in Japan before anywhere else in the world, and it is the first time a Disney animated film has been adapted into a Japanese manga.[27] The website also quoted the film's co-director Don Hall, to whom it referred as a manga fan, as saying that the film was Japanese-inspired.[27]
