To add, the only reason there was no Marvel stinger is because Disney heavily modified the original story. Big Hero 6 was originally a subsidiary of the X-Men as most of the heroes were also mutants. Since this was before Disney bought Fox, Disney had to make a lot of changes to avoid running into issues with the X-Men IP.
I love that Baymax doesn't suddenly become sentient, or develop a "soul". He is simply following his programming, just like any other machine, but because of his design and the fact that he is ridiculously advanced, to the point he is able to mimic human behavior makes it easy for us to get attached to him. While a lot of writers drop the ball with A.I characters, they nailed it here.
Yep, Baymax is fairly realistic in terms of what an AI hero would be capable of. On the flip side, Auto from WALL-E is the perfect demonstration of what a real AI villain would be like.
Small trivia morsel: In avengers: age of ultron, when Tony is choosing a new A.I. for the iron man suit one of the drives is labelled 'Tadashi'. Always assumed it was a nod to Big Hero 6.
A detail that goes unnoticed by a lot of people is during Baymax’s ultimate sacrifice. If you look into Hiro’s eyes, he doesn’t see Baymax, he sees Tadashi. Because in that moment, Hiro feels like he’s losing Tadashi all over again, since Baymax is the last gift Tadashi gave him. It’s a heartbreaking detail that takes an eagle eye or paused screen to see
I actually think "They died when I was three, remember?" is pretty good as far as "as you know" type exposition goes. Hiro's basically saying "why are you asking me what our parents would have thought, how would I know, I don't remember them." So the line conveys information to the audience while also delivering emotional damage to the recipient character.
Random Trivia!!!! Baymax says 'Falalalala' because his programming doesn't account for making random sounds, only language, so he just puts in some syllables instead. The scene where Hiro rides on Baymax and sees himself in the reflection is basically the same shot of Hiro on the back of Tadashi's moped. Honey Lemon's chemical purse has the periodic table on it, ya girl is doing high level chemical equations on the fly. I really love this movie. It's a movie about invention, creation, and innovation. It's about applying your knowledge in the best way possible. Having grown up in the US, I really wish I'd had some of the opportunities to apply my passions when I was young.
I love this film so much. It is in the top tier Disney films for me. The exploration of grief and what it can do to people, isolation vs family and friends, holding onto pain vs healing. All the while being shown how to appreciate beauty, life, and love through a naive robot. And Baymax is back in a short mini series!!

In the Big Hero 6 universe the Japanese population of San Francisco played a major role in the reconstruction after The Great 1906 San Francisco Earth Quake leading to the city being heavily influenced by Japanese architecture so in honor of them and better reflect the new state of the city they renamed it San Fransokyo
Which is cool but a little bit funny. San Francisco is a Spanish name, where the San means Saint. Saint Francisco. So a little bit of a letdown to good old Saint Francis, but no big deal!
Honey Lemon has the coolest powers out of the group, her purse has the table of elements that she can access so when she types onbit she's creating new chemical combinations on the fly.
I remember distinctly how hard I took Tadashi's death and his mourning more than my brother when we saw this in theaters.. At the time he was still in university for a STEM job, working in similar scientific labs. We have a 12 year age gap between us, so I liked the dynamic Hiro and Tadashi had, it felt much more like us. My brother didn't realize why I had cried for a bit at his death until he asked afterwards why it him me more than him, and I had to explain how it gave me a look into a future where if my older brother, who is at a university lab most of the day dies in an accident, I wouldn't be able to cope with it. Anyways, we both love this movie, and the research into the science of everything should be the standard for other fiction out there. Cause it's cool.
Yeah me too , I have an uncle that we have a 12 age gap difference that is basically my big bro , I always though of him when Tadashi died in the movie...If that happened to me , I would be destroyed.
I'm touched to hear about both of you having a loving big brother figure that you couldn't live without. I'm disappointed but also very grateful that I will never have to know the pain of losing a sibling because I'm an only child. I always wanted a sibling, it's lonely being an only child. But if I had a sibling and lost them I don't know what I'd do. Cause after all your siblings are there for you when your parents or guardians can't be. If something happens to your parents you and your sibling(s) will still have each other. If something happens to my mom I'll be all alone. You guys are both very lucky and I hope you and your siblings live long healthy lives.
This came out a few years after I lost my 9yrs older brother who I was very close to alot like Hero and Tadashi. Make the most of your time and experiences together ❤️.
"I've definitely played this level in a lot of games" Ah, but have you played this level in Kingdom Hearts 3? You get to fly around on Baymax and it's glorious
The comic Big Hero 6 starts originally with Hiro being a super genius level fanboy of Sunfire the atomic fire powered Japanese X-Man who wanted to be a hero just like him. Sunfire at that point in the late 90’s was also basically the biggest and most well known Japanese Superhero in the canon of Marvel Comics. They had a single miniseries that introduced Hiro, Baymax, Go Go, and Honey Lemon and then they made a few other appearances in other comic series. Then they did a later miniseries/revamp 10 years after the first where all of the previously introduced characters starting looking more like their eventual movie counterparts and they also finally introduce both Wasabi and Fred to the team.
also, Silver Samurai because leading/being second in command of the Japanese National super team was better than sitting in a Japanese prison watching basic cable.
Fun Fact: The reason it's called San Fransokyo is because in this timeline Japanese immigrants helped rebuild the city after the 1906 earthquake and implemented their architecture! After they helped rebuild the city was renamed!
I worked as a photographer at Epcot for about a year and took several thousand photos of kids meeting Baymax (and made several thousand pennies doing it! 🥴). Hiro's Workshop was my personal favorite place to shoot. It was indoors and thus air-conditioned, generally much quieter and less crowded than most other spots, good music, Baymax himself is pretty chill (obvi), and a majority of kids were super jazzed to exchange a fist bump which was fun to watch because you could tell they were making a core memory. It's about the only thing I miss from that job.
Nothing in life makes me more happy and emotional than Baymax. Absolutely cute and cuddly while being an incredible robot. His comprehension of fist bumping is so cute and his mannerisms are cute. All in all this movie is wonderful and the characters can be relatable. Especially the love between Hiro and Tadashi. We all need a Baymax in our lives. #Balalala Also drunk Baymax is incredibly hilarious "We jumped out a window!"
When we went to Disney World a few years ago, my mostly non-verbal (at the time) autistic daughter walked up to Baymax and gave him a fist bump, complete with her going “Ba La La La” and wiggling her fingers right along with him. Her older siblings and I almost lost it right then and there. We’ve been Baymax fans ever since. ❤️ Such a special moment we will never forget.
@@アキコ2003 No kid ever watched Aladdin and wondered where his mom was. (or Jasmine's for that matter), missing parents is a staple of Disney films and their absence is irrelevant to the story.
@@misterkite so not true. i've watched movies with kids and they ask questions like "why is he crying" explain "cause they are alone" "where are their parents".........you hanging with the wrong kids bruh
The Baymax fist bump is the best thing ever! My friends and I do it all the time. This movie is SO good!! Hilarious one minute, gut-wrenching the next. Thanks for your great reactions!!
I took my 5 year old and 8 year old sons to see this in the theater. They both really enjoyed it, but when Baymax sacrificed himself, my 5 year old started to cry and he asked, "Why did he have to die?" It was a very touching moment to see my son express so much emapathy, especially when he had never shown it before.
Initially, the origin of San Fransokyo was an "alternate universe" outcome of the real-life event of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Japanese immigrants helped rebuild by contributing key Japanese building techniques that allowed the city to prevail in the face of the seismic events like never before (since, of course, Japan has dealt with earthquakes for far longer). San Francisco was renamed San Fransokyo in honor and recognition of it being a city reborn thanks to a combination of Japanese and American engineering skills. The floating things in the sky painted like fish are tethered wind turbines used to generate electricity. They are placed in the sky to capture the higher and more consistent wind speeds found at higher altitudes. These turbines are connected to the ground by tethers that transmit the electricity generated by the turbines.
That was the quantum realm, the animation and the live action CGI took inspiration from the comics, as Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic, and I love the Stan Lee's cameo in the end credit scene =D
28:26 The story is also apparently loosely based on characters from a Marvel Comics title that debuted in 1998. Disney apparently also did 3 seasons of an animated series and a series of shorts based on this movie, in addition to the new Baymax series that was just released on Disney+.
fun fact!: someone's probably mentioned it in the comments, but the reason the city is like this is because, in-universe canonically, there was a huge earthquake that basically ruined the city of SanFran, and it was Japanese immigrants that helped rebuild the city, influencing the city's new architecture, landscape, and culture. the creators of the film wanted to create a SanFran that was a blending of Japanese and American vibes to parallel Hiro's biracial background, as well as showing the diversity of the city through the rest of the cast (black, korean, hispanic, and white). also! Big Hero 6 is a old marvel comic, that's why Stan Lee appears in the film. however, the old comic is mmmm bad to put it simply, with orientalism and such. this film really only took the character names, the concept of a robot, and a boy genius and made their entire own thing for the film. DEFINITELY a face-lift glow up from the source material.
There's actually a Big Hero 6 easter egg in Avenger's Age of Ultron. When Tony Stark is picking personality chips for his suit computer, one of them says T.A.D.A.S.H.I.
Disney+ just released Baymax!, a series of short episodes that are really worth watching. So much wholesome positivity and Baymax being Baymax at his best.
As so many others have noted, Big Hero 6 is based (loosely) on a Marvel comic and team, hence Stab Lee's cameo. What I don't notice being mentioned is that in Fred's room many of the costumes and figures on display are minor league Marvel characters such as the Black Talon.
Big Hero 6 IS a Marvel movie, but they redesigned so much of the team that they're not IMMEDIATELY recognizable, so they left the Marvel logos off. The Big Hero 6 are the Japanese equivalent to the Avengers. (The same way the Winter Guard are the Russian Avengers, or Alpha Flight is the Canadian Avengers, or Excalibur is the British Avengers/X-Men) The Big Hero 6 were founded by the Silver Samurai and Sunfire. Silver Samurai is the Wolverine enemy that that get Silver Samurai mech in The Wolverine movie is loosely based on. Sunfire is one of the X-Men.
Gotta give credit: Callaghan/Yokai is one of the most underappreciated animated villains imho. The dude has an absolutely BADASS design and power, his backstory and motivation make complete sense, and his overall goal are an interesting take in a superhero movie: he doesnt even remotely care about the main characters/heros. They are basically just annoying nuisances to him throughout the entire movie. Also, his voice actor kills it. "I want my DAUGHTER BACK!". That delivery man. You can hear the deep pain, but also the the boundless, barely contained rage in his voice.
●28:06 _"Why is Stan Lee in it?"_ I think *Big Hero 6* was a Marvel comic book about 15 years before the movie. ●15:52 _"Shifting gears means you can go faster."_ Yes, by downshifting and pouring on the gas, you can go faster. __ 🚗 *Edit:* I just realized, the video has been posted for a while. I imagine someone mentioned both of these things already. 🤷🏼♂️ Oh, well.
Stan Lee is in it because this is technically a Marvel property (there was a comic) and also because it's about superheroes. I showed this to my 80 year old parents and they both loved it (despite their initial misgivings about watching a "cartoon").
Super cute film. In the comics the team is put together by former X-men member Sunfire. It's set in Japan and all the characters are Japanese. The characters are pretty different. Hiro is still a boy genius, but it was his father who died,, and he built Baymax as a surrogate. Baymax is a transforming robot with a human bodyguard form, armored Iron Man type form, and dragon form. Honey Lemon's purse is an extra-dimensional portal from which she can basically pull whatever she needs. Go-go wears a battlesuit that absorbs and amplifies kinetic energy. Wasabi is a sushi chef who really wants to be a samurai, and Fred can create and operate psychkinetic kaiju. Sometimes it's only partially real, sometimes he fully transforms. Other members included Silver Samurai, Sunpyre, and Ebon Samurai. Extra fun, they had a crossover comic with Canada's own super team Alpha Flight.
At 42 I still use the ba la la la le le la on a fist bump and say we jumped out a window when drunk 🤣 I recommend the film Dino time. It's great, some big names and never heard of it until a random click on the android box... Now have it on dvd and watch it with my son about once a month.
So, the story behind San Fransokyo is that Tokyo helped rebuild San Francisco after the major earthquake, and so they renamed the city as a thank you:-)
Big Hero 6 is based on a Marvel comic. You wouldn't have thunk it, but there it is. What I love about Marvel is the amazing diversity of the source material.
There's a fan theory that Big Hero 6 takes place in the same Universe as Man in the High Castle, which would explain the Japanese influence on everything.
I really didn't care for this movie (imo plot was meh and the characters are kinda tropey and boring), but Baymax's physicality absolutely kills me. The way he looks at what he's holding, then looks where he wants to set it down, then carefully moves it over the spot, then lowers it,
Your reactions always make me laugh uncontrollably.The one liners that get thrown around...brilliant.Saw this particular movie when it came out and I enjoyed it so much I couldn't believe that Disney made it. A witty,clever and mature script uninterrupted by drippy musical numbers every ten minutes.Exactly the same way I felt walking out of the theatre after watching Wreck it Ralph.I've been binging your reactions ever since I saw a 'mass reaction' to a certain scene in the movie The Thing,and so far I've watched at least 6 back to back.Can't say I've done that before.You two are funny as hell and very entertaining.Maybe I'll watch just one more and then I'll finally go to sleep...it's two am.
funny story. went to watch this movie with an ex who brought her 10yr sister along. and this girl was smitten with Tadashi...and then he died. she spent the entire rest of the movie crying. and me being the jerk that I am. just kept laughing. because I have a friend that took her son to see hunger games. and she told me how distraught he was when you know who died. ah, young loves keen sting. HAHAHAAAHHAHAHAHA
Big Hero 6 is loosely inspired by a series of Marvel comics based on the same name. The team's abilities reflect their og counterparts but, if you get familiar with both, you can definitely see where Disney took some liberties.
Alternate history - in this world, there were a lot of Japanese immigrants in the San Francisco area instead of Chinese immigrants in the 1800's. After the 1906 earthquake, the wealthier white people moved out, and the remaining residents were mostly Japanese, so the "Little Tokyo" area basically took over the city.
I don't know if anyone had said this yet, I haven't seen anyone talk about it, but I remember reading a lore explanation from the creators when the concept images were release before this movie came out. They explained that at some point Sanfancisco had a huge econimic crisis at the same time a massive earthquake hit the city and destroyed everthing. The land was bought by Japanese businessmen and rebuilt by combining the efforts and style of American culture and Japanese culture. Also some changes from the Comic, Baymax is a robot but is designed to look like a dragon. In the movie he was redsigned to have an Iron man influance. Wasabi is a combination of the Charcters Silver Sameria and Wasabi No Ginger. Fred's chacter is not form the comics but is a combination of the Superhero Sunfire (Being able to shoot fire) and the original design for Baymax (being a dragon creature). and Honey Lemon is a James Bond like spy in the comics with an bottomless purse where she keeps all her gadgets.
No matter how many times I see the scene, the sound of air escaping from Baymax's arms when he reinflates them in the police station makes me laugh. Every time. I am easily amused. 🤣
I love watching fellow nerds react to this, because they get all of the little bits and pieces of the story. But even there, you two did one of the best nerdy reactions I've seen to it so far, because in addition to getting all of the little nerdy bits (Science! Yeah!), you just so thoroughly enjoyed it. Baymax is such a source of comedy gold, especially since at no time is he actually trying to be funny. He's just big and squooshy and caring and will do anything he can to make sure his patient is satisfied with their care. I'm pretty sure those big fan things in the sky were wind turbines, catching the high winds over the city.
This movie is technically Marvel. And about a year ago or longer for some months there was a theory this movie took place in the MCU thanks to a reference to the brother in a MCU movie. But it was debunked by someone in Marvel
Throwing a request out there: I just realized none of the reactors I sub to have done the OG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How is that possible, it was so great!
Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic, it's basically Japanese X-Men. In the comics Baymax is a robotic dragon and they have a mutant named Sunfire who has a rivalry with Wolverine
Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comics property but not part of the MCU. Disney chose to go a little lighter with their movie version compared to the comics which has some very serious members like Silver Samurai who was the villain in The Wolverine movie and Sunfire and Sunpyre who are X-Men. Stan Lee didn’t create the team but it was still a nice little touch to include him in the movie.
One thing I think the writers didn't consider (or hoped the audience would let slide) is the fact that Hiro's invention would have enabled him to establish his own tech company and make billions. With that company, he and any other researchers he wanted to hire and the tech his vast resources could afford, would surpass what the school could do or offer him. Basically, he and his brother could have established their own tech research business.
Not an animator so can’t be sure but the inflation and deflation could have been pretty easy. You can simulate pressure inside of a cloth material mesh, if they could key the pressure they could just simulate his plastic very easily, although it may have needed touching up afterwards and for a film grade model it would take a long time to simulate.
I think Big Hero 6 is based on a Marvel comic, which is why Stan Lee made a cameo.
It is.

They are placed in the sky to capture the higher and more consistent wind speeds found at higher altitudes. These turbines are connected to the ground by tethers that transmit the electricity generated by the turbines.
I knew you guys would love this movie. It's truly awesome, but I can't watch it anymore without crying.
Criminal how often this movie is overlooked :) Love it!
They released a super cute mini series about Baymax.
25:54 That looks too interesting to be Edmonton.
I love just how much you laughed in this one, that was nice.
That was the quantum realm, the animation and the live action CGI took inspiration from the comics, as Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic, and I love the Stan Lee's cameo in the end credit scene =D
28:26 The story is also apparently loosely based on characters from a Marvel Comics title that debuted in 1998. Disney apparently also did 3 seasons of an animated series and a series of shorts based on this movie, in addition to the new Baymax series that was just released on Disney+.
This movie spoke SO DIRECTLY to the person I was when I was ten years old.
I wonder if he tried to steal the Nanotech for the same reason, to save her. but as it was a covert op he couldn't say anything about it
The Cinema Therapy channel uses this movie as a way to explore grief.
fun fact!:
someone's probably mentioned it in the comments, but the reason the city is like this is because, in-universe canonically, there was a huge earthquake that basically ruined the city of SanFran, and it was Japanese immigrants that helped rebuild the city, influencing the city's new architecture, landscape, and culture. the creators of the film wanted to create a SanFran that was a blending of Japanese and American vibes to parallel Hiro's biracial background, as well as showing the diversity of the city through the rest of the cast (black, korean, hispanic, and white).
also! Big Hero 6 is a old marvel comic, that's why Stan Lee appears in the film. however, the old comic is mmmm bad to put it simply, with orientalism and such. this film really only took the character names, the concept of a robot, and a boy genius and made their entire own thing for the film. DEFINITELY a face-lift glow up from the source material.
There's actually a Big Hero 6 easter egg in Avenger's Age of Ultron. When Tony Stark is picking personality chips for his suit computer, one of them says T.A.D.A.S.H.I.
Disney+ just released Baymax!, a series of short episodes that are really worth watching. So much wholesome positivity and Baymax being Baymax at his best.
I binged that in one sitting and was in a constant state of "SQUEE!" the entire time.
The laughing in this reaction lighten-up my day.
As so many others have noted, Big Hero 6 is based (loosely) on a Marvel comic and team, hence Stab Lee's cameo. What I don't notice being mentioned is that in Fred's room many of the costumes and figures on display are minor league Marvel characters such as the Black Talon.
Wasabi screaming when the container was gonna hit him had me dying in the theater and at home.
Fun thing. In Moana, the scene with the evil, pirate coconuts, in the crowd you will see Bay Max.
This is easily one of the best Disney movies of the 3D era along with Tangled, Zootopia and Encanto
Big Hero 6 IS a Marvel movie, but they redesigned so much of the team that they're not IMMEDIATELY recognizable, so they left the Marvel logos off.
The Big Hero 6 are the Japanese equivalent to the Avengers.
(The same way the Winter Guard are the Russian Avengers, or Alpha Flight is the Canadian Avengers, or Excalibur is the British Avengers/X-Men)
The Big Hero 6 were founded by the Silver Samurai and Sunfire.
Silver Samurai is the Wolverine enemy that that get Silver Samurai mech in The Wolverine movie is loosely based on.
Sunfire is one of the X-Men.
love Big Hero 6! such a perfect animated film.
12:58 George trying to understand where he has seen that image before...
Gotta give credit:
Callaghan/Yokai is one of the most underappreciated animated villains imho.
The dude has an absolutely BADASS design and power, his backstory and motivation make complete sense, and his overall goal are an interesting take in a superhero movie: he doesnt even remotely care about the main characters/heros. They are basically just annoying nuisances to him throughout the entire movie.
Also, his voice actor kills it. "I want my DAUGHTER BACK!". That delivery man. You can hear the deep pain, but also the the boundless, barely contained rage in his voice.
●28:06 _"Why is Stan Lee in it?"_ I think *Big Hero 6* was a Marvel comic book about 15 years before the movie.
●15:52 _"Shifting gears means you can go faster."_ Yes, by downshifting and pouring on the gas, you can go faster. __ 🚗
*Edit:* I just realized, the video has been posted for a while. I imagine someone mentioned both of these things already. 🤷🏼♂️ Oh, well.
This movie is legendary and so is the second
Movie suggestion.. "The World According to Garp"... Robin Williams, John Lithgow, Glenn Close
Maybe my fav thumbnail, yet. Can’t wait to watch at home!
Honey-Lemon is my fav of the crew and Aunt Cas is so funny.
It's technically a Marvel movie, based on a comic.
baymax on low battery is my favorite
Stan Lee is in it because this is technically a Marvel property (there was a comic) and also because it's about superheroes. I showed this to my 80 year old parents and they both loved it (despite their initial misgivings about watching a "cartoon").
Baymax is an adorable character in this movie.
Super cute film. In the comics the team is put together by former X-men member Sunfire. It's set in Japan and all the characters are Japanese. The characters are pretty different. Hiro is still a boy genius, but it was his father who died,, and he built Baymax as a surrogate. Baymax is a transforming robot with a human bodyguard form, armored Iron Man type form, and dragon form. Honey Lemon's purse is an extra-dimensional portal from which she can basically pull whatever she needs. Go-go wears a battlesuit that absorbs and amplifies kinetic energy. Wasabi is a sushi chef who really wants to be a samurai, and Fred can create and operate psychkinetic kaiju. Sometimes it's only partially real, sometimes he fully transforms. Other members included Silver Samurai, Sunpyre, and Ebon Samurai. Extra fun, they had a crossover comic with Canada's own super team Alpha Flight.
At 42 I still use the ba la la la le le la on a fist bump and say we jumped out a window when drunk 🤣
I recommend the film Dino time. It's great, some big names and never heard of it until a random click on the android box... Now have it on dvd and watch it with my son about once a month.
So, the story behind San Fransokyo is that Tokyo helped rebuild San Francisco after the major earthquake, and so they renamed the city as a thank you:-)
Big Hero 6 is based on a Marvel comic. You wouldn't have thunk it, but there it is. What I love about Marvel is the amazing diversity of the source material.
There's a fan theory that Big Hero 6 takes place in the same Universe as Man in the High Castle, which would explain the Japanese influence on everything.
"The rent must be insane."
Actually, San Francisco with Tokyo's housing policy would probably be cheaper than the real San Francisco.
We jumped out a window ! ....... Hairy Baby!
I really didn't care for this movie (imo plot was meh and the characters are kinda tropey and boring), but Baymax's physicality absolutely kills me. The way he looks at what he's holding, then looks where he wants to set it down, then carefully moves it over the spot, then lowers it,
Your reactions always make me laugh uncontrollably.The one liners that get thrown around...brilliant.Saw this particular movie when it came out and I enjoyed it so much I couldn't believe that Disney made it. A witty,clever and mature script uninterrupted by drippy musical numbers every ten minutes.Exactly the same way I felt walking out of the theatre after watching Wreck it Ralph.I've been binging your reactions ever since I saw a 'mass reaction' to a certain scene in the movie The Thing,and so far I've watched at least 6 back to back.Can't say I've done that before.You two are funny as hell and very entertaining.Maybe I'll watch just one more and then I'll finally go to sleep...it's two am.
funny story. went to watch this movie with an ex who brought her 10yr sister along. and this girl was smitten with Tadashi...and then he died. she spent the entire rest of the movie crying. and me being the jerk that I am. just kept laughing. because I have a friend that took her son to see hunger games. and she told me how distraught he was when you know who died. ah, young loves keen sting. HAHAHAAAHHAHAHAHA
Big Hero 6 is loosely inspired by a series of Marvel comics based on the same name. The team's abilities reflect their og counterparts but, if you get familiar with both, you can definitely see where Disney took some liberties.
I remember watching this movie when it first came out and doing the Baymax fist bump for many months afterwards.
Alternate history - in this world, there were a lot of Japanese immigrants in the San Francisco area instead of Chinese immigrants in the 1800's. After the 1906 earthquake, the wealthier white people moved out, and the remaining residents were mostly Japanese, so the "Little Tokyo" area basically took over the city.
19:40 😂 im deadddd
I don't know if anyone had said this yet, I haven't seen anyone talk about it, but I remember reading a lore explanation from the creators when the concept images were release before this movie came out. They explained that at some point Sanfancisco had a huge econimic crisis at the same time a massive earthquake hit the city and destroyed everthing. The land was bought by Japanese businessmen and rebuilt by combining the efforts and style of American culture and Japanese culture.
Also some changes from the Comic, Baymax is a robot but is designed to look like a dragon. In the movie he was redsigned to have an Iron man influance. Wasabi is a combination of the Charcters Silver Sameria and Wasabi No Ginger. Fred's chacter is not form the comics but is a combination of the Superhero Sunfire (Being able to shoot fire) and the original design for Baymax (being a dragon creature). and Honey Lemon is a James Bond like spy in the comics with an bottomless purse where she keeps all her gadgets.
I watched this when it first came out on disc, and to this day I still sometimes "ba la la la la la la" after a fist bump.
Which movie is better, Big Hero 6 or Kung Fu Panda? This is a debate in my house and just casting a net for broader feedback.
Disney did a short video here on TH-cam where they had Baymax in real life. I highly recommend watching it because it's pretty funny.
No matter how many times I see the scene, the sound of air escaping from Baymax's arms when he reinflates them in the police station makes me laugh. Every time. I am easily amused. 🤣
I love watching fellow nerds react to this, because they get all of the little bits and pieces of the story. But even there, you two did one of the best nerdy reactions I've seen to it so far, because in addition to getting all of the little nerdy bits (Science! Yeah!), you just so thoroughly enjoyed it.
Baymax is such a source of comedy gold, especially since at no time is he actually trying to be funny. He's just big and squooshy and caring and will do anything he can to make sure his patient is satisfied with their care.
I'm pretty sure those big fan things in the sky were wind turbines, catching the high winds over the city.
Baymax low battery is my spirit animal 😅😅😅😅
This movie is technically Marvel. And about a year ago or longer for some months there was a theory this movie took place in the MCU thanks to a reference to the brother in a MCU movie. But it was debunked by someone in Marvel
Ever since seeing this whenever my wife and I fist bump we do the "Balalalala" thing.
Throwing a request out there: I just realized none of the reactors I sub to have done the OG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How is that possible, it was so great!
You guys should react to "Spies in Disguise" with Tom Holland and Will Smith :)
Big Hero 6 and How to Train Your Dragon are the two best mainstream animated franchises for my money. Wish BH6 had gotten the trilogy treatment.
I enjoyed this movie so much more than I expected to. It was way more heartfelt than I thought it would be.
We saw this movie when it first came out and ever since, we fist bump like Baymax. BalaLAlala
Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic, it's basically Japanese X-Men. In the comics Baymax is a robotic dragon and they have a mutant named Sunfire who has a rivalry with Wolverine
I love the fact that this video is just a montage of you guys laughing your heads off!
Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comics property but not part of the MCU. Disney chose to go a little lighter with their movie version compared to the comics which has some very serious members like Silver Samurai who was the villain in The Wolverine movie and Sunfire and Sunpyre who are X-Men. Stan Lee didn’t create the team but it was still a nice little touch to include him in the movie.
It's based off of a marvel comic of the same name. disney made it more kid friendly by redesigning baymax
One thing I think the writers didn't consider (or hoped the audience would let slide) is the fact that Hiro's invention would have enabled him to establish his own tech company and make billions. With that company, he and any other researchers he wanted to hire and the tech his vast resources could afford, would surpass what the school could do or offer him. Basically, he and his brother could have established their own tech research business.
Not an animator so can’t be sure but the inflation and deflation could have been pretty easy. You can simulate pressure inside of a cloth material mesh, if they could key the pressure they could just simulate his plastic very easily, although it may have needed touching up afterwards and for a film grade model it would take a long time to simulate.
Actually, thin non-rigid materials, like sheets of plastic or cloth, are notoriously difficult to animate.
Actually Big Hero 6 was a Marvel Comic Originally, thats why Stan Lee is there
Cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both take care and have a great weekend
