We’ve been following Disney’s BIG HERO 6, pretty closely, and with good reason – it looks like a blast. Today, thanks to Disney showing footage at New York Comic Con, we get a brand new sizzle reel, which gives us even more solid looks at both the villain and the superhero team aspect of the story. Based on the comic book by Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle, the film is co-directed by Don Hall (2011’s WINNIE THE POOH) and Chris Williams (BOLT), with a story about a young man with an interest in robots that builds a team of superheroes to save his town of San Fransokyo. The voice cast includes Josh Hutcherson, Samuel L. Jackson, Freddie Highmore, T.J. Miller, Maya Rudolph, and Jamie Chung. Take a look at the new footage below, which also features more of the loveable Baymax (voiced by 30 ROCK’s Scott Adsit) and tell us what you think in the comments.
“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”).
