Disney’s ownership of Marvel Entertainment has seen the Marvel Studios brand make a gigantic leap in terms of exposure with the likes of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and especially The Avengers. With Captain America: The Winter Soldier rocketing its way to huge box office numbers and the wackiness of Guardians of the Galaxy in August to hopefully entertain audiences like no other Marvel property has, 2014 is shaping up to be Marvel’s year (see also The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past – two other Marvel properties doing their thing with studios Sony Pictures and 20th Century Fox).
This fall, Disney will unleash Big Hero 6. Judging from the trailer below, it looks like a cross between the first teaser for Pixar’s The Incredibles plus the tinkering Tony Stark does on his Iron Man suits with the non-assist assist from Jarvis.
Don Hall and Chris Williams, the directors that gave us Winnie the Pooh and Bolt, take a Marvel comic about a young robotics prodigy who builds his own superhero team so that he can try to save his fictional hometown of San Fransokyo.
Big Hero 6 opens November 7. Voice cast includes Josh Hutcherson, Samuel L. Jackson, Freddie Highmore, T.J. Miller, Maya Rudolph, and Jamie Chung.
FILM SYNOPSIS:
“Big Hero 6″ is a heartfelt 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 Tamago, clean freak Wasabi No-Ginger, 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 cutting-edge 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 and all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6″ is directed by Don Hall (“Winnie the Pooh”) and Chris Williams (“Bolt”), and produced by Roy Conli (“Tangled”). The film hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014.
