Filmmakers Chris Williams & Don Hall Talk BIG HERO 6, Disney Vs. Marvel and Potential Sequels 

Big Hero 6 makes it all seem so very easy. The effortlessly charming film is yet another notch on the belt for Disney Animation, combining light wholesome comedy with weighty tragic undercurrents. That’s been the winning formula for Disney since as far back as Bambi to The Lion King to Frozen to now, of course, Big Hero 6. Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter), a good for nothing teenager, seems poised to end up on the wrong side of the law. That is  — until his older, more responsible brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) takes Hiro under his wing and introduces him to a team of scientists working on the cutting edge of the field. When a tragic event takes Tadashi’s life, Hiro puts it upon himself to complete his brother’s work: a white cuddly robot named Baymax. Assorted hijinks follow as Hiro transforms Baymax into a crime-fighting superhero and fends off against a mysterious masked vigilante with ties to his brother’s demise.
