MAIN
CAST:
By the end of the 20th
Century, Marvel Comics was in considerable
financial trouble due to a series of bad business decisions. This left the
company in a bit of a desperate state for new hits to help keep them afloat. Man of Action members Steven T. Seagle
and Duncan Rouleau
were working on the second volume of Alpha Flight when
they developed a new super team they planned to introduce in the book: Big Hero 6.
Seeing potential in the idea, Marvel quickly greenlit a mini-series showcasing
the team. Since they had no time to take on another project, the Big Hero 6
book was handed off to Scott
Lobdell and Gus Vasquez with
detailed character outlines by Seagle and Rouleau. Although the team was slated
to make their debut in Alpha Flight #17, a scheduling issue ended up
seeing the mini, titled Sunfire
& Big Hero 6, published first.
The unintended debut of Big Hero 6.
The Japanese government had decided they needed their own state-sanctioned team of superheroes. They formed the Giri to recruit and train the potential members of the team. Despite reservations, frequent X-Men foe Silver Samurai was appointed as the team’s field leader. Comprising the rest of the team was secret agent Aiko Miyazaki, aka Honey Lemon, who invented a nanotechnology-based Power Purse that she could pull any object from via artificial wormholes within; Leiko Tanaka, aka Go-Go Tomago, was given a prototype voice-activated battle suit that allowed her to absorb and amplify kinetic energy in exchange for a reduced prison sentence; Hiro Takachiho, a 13-year-old prodigy who invented his robotic bodyguard Baymax and programmed it with the thoughts and emotions of his deceased father with the ability to transform into a dragon; and Shiro Yoshida, aka Sunfire, the fire-wielding mutant who served as Japan’s preeminent superhero. Their spokesperson and coordinator representing the Giri was the ever-scheming Mr. Oshima.
The third incarnation of the team.
Silver
Samurai eventually returned to his mercenary ways and was seemingly killed by
the assassin Elektra,
and Sunfire left to join Charles
Xavier’s latest initiative, leaving Hiro as team leader. They gained new
members in the form of Kioshi Keishicho, aka Ebon Samurai,
a police officer killed by Silver Samurai who made a deal with the God of Evil,
Chaos and the Stars, Amatsu-Mikaboshi,
to be resurrected so that he could have his revenge, and Sunpyre, aka
Lumina, an extra-dimensional being Honey Lemon pulled out of the Microverse who had similar
powers to Sunfire. In the second Big Hero 6 mini-series
written by Chris Claremont with
art by David Nakayama, they were
replaced on the roster by the new characters of Wasabi No-Ginger, a trained samurai and chef who could channel his Qi into pulses of paralyzing energy
shaped as sushi knives, and Fred, aka Fredzilla,
who could either transform into a Kaiju
or manifest its form around himself that was only visible from certain
perspectives.
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in Amazing Spider-Man #685.
Despite a promising beginning, Big
Hero 6 really didn’t have all that much of a comic presence beyond
guest-appearances and cameos in books like Thunderbolts and
Amazing
Spider-Man, as well as the next volume of Alpha Flight.
In fact, a great deal of the team’s history happened off-panel and would only
be expanded upon in books like The
Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and Marvel:
Your Universe Saga.
Model sheet for the new Hiro.
In the months following the second Big
Hero 6 book, Marvel was bought by Disney.
Then-CEO Bob
Iger encouraged the various divisions to explore Marvel’s holdings for
adaptation ideas. Director Don
Hall was scrolling through the database when he happened upon the comic,
which he had never heard of. Liking the title, he pitched it to John Lasseter in 2011 as one of
five possible ideas for Walt Disney
Animation Studios and the idea was greenlit. Head of story Paul Briggs and screenwriter Robert Baird wanted to keep the
idea new and fresh so they barely consulted the original comics. Marvel themselves
had very little involvement in the film, and it wasn’t connected to the
blossoming Marvel
Cinematic Universe.
Concept art for San Fransokyo.
Disney was given full creative
freedom with the source material. The setting was moved from Japan to an
amalgamation of San Francisco and Tokyo called San Fransokyo in the
year 2032, highlighting the unspoken alternative history that Japanese
immigrants rebuilt the city following the 1906
earthquake. Hiro (Ryan Potter) became the central focus of the story. He
was renamed Hiro Hamada and was changed to be half Caucasian, half East Asian.
Still a 14-year-old prodigy, Hiro invented a small remote-controlled combat robot he used in
illegal bot fights.
Hiro lived with his older brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney), and Aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph) in the building
above Cass’ Lucky Cat
Café. Tadashi tried to get Hiro to make more of his life by convincing him
to roll in the same school as him: the San
Fransokyo Institute of Technology (or SFIT). Tadashi had been working on a
healthcare robot named Baymax (Scott Adsit); a soft, inflatable robot inspired
by the work of Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute that came equipped with a
variety of sensors used to detect and treat ailments. Artist Lisa Keene came up with the concept that
Baymax should be a huggable robot. Originally, Baymax was going to have a face
that could express one of five different emotions at a time, but Hall decided
it should be based on the copper suzu
bell he noticed when visiting a Shinto shrine. His movement was inspired by
studying the movement of a baby with a full diaper. Baymax’s concept art was
produced by mecha designer Shigeto
Koyama.
The new Big Hero 6: Fred, Go Go, Baymax, Hiro, Honey Lemon and Wasabi.
Go Go Tomago (Jamie Chung), Honey
Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), Wasabi (Damon Wayans, Jr.) and Fred (T.J. Miller) were reimagined as
Tadashi’s friends and classmates. Go Go (actual first name Ethel, nicknamed by
Fred when that didn’t sound “threatening” enough), now Korean, was a tough
adrenaline junkie of few words who was developing electromagnetic wheel axles.
Her look was inspired by bike messengers. Honey (also a nickname given by
Fred), now Latin American, was a bubbly, optimistic chemistry student. Wasabi
(nicknamed by Fred after he spilled wasabi sauce on his shirt), now African
American, was a slightly neurotic neat freak that loved to follow the rules and
specialized in laser cutting. As for the now-Caucasian Fred, he actually didn’t
attend SFIT—he was a self-proclaimed science enthusiast that came from a
wealthy family, allowing him to be a slacker that always hung out at the school
and indulge in comic books and other flights of eccentric fancy. Shiyoon Kim served as lead character
designer, with supervision by Jin
Kim.
Yokai commanding the minibots.
Their superhero origin story kicked
into gear when Robert
Callaghan (James Cromwell),
the head of the SFIT robotics program, caused a fire to hide the fact he stole
Hiro’s SFIT entrance project: mind-controlled microbots. Tadashi was
killed in the resulting explosion when he went back in to rescue Callaghan.
Wanting revenge, Hiro developed armor for himself and Baymax and gave Baymax a
new program chip that turned him into a fighter. The others are eventually
convinced to join in, receiving their own armor and weaponry based on their studies:
Go Go used electromagnetic disks as inline skates and projectiles, Honey Lemon
a mechanical purse that quickly mixed various chemicals together into balls
that can do various things, Wasabi plasma blades that extended from his forearms,
and Fred a dragon suit that allowed him to leap great distances and shoot fire.
They learn Callaghan, as Yokai, sought his own revenge against pioneer
entrepreneur and Krei Tech
CEO Alistair Krei
(Alan Tudyk) after he lost
Callaghan’s daughter Abigail (Kaite Lowes) in an experiment
and planned to use Hiro’s bots to accomplish his goals.
Big Hero 6 was written by
Baird with Jordan Roberts
and Dan Gerson, and directed
by Hall with Chris Williams.
It premiered at the Tokyo International Film
Festival on October 23, 2014 before opening on November 7, 2014,
accompanied by the short Feast.
It pulled in $657.8 million at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing
animated film of the year, the 3rd-highest-grossing non-Pixar film from Disney, and the 16th-highest-grossing
animated film of all time. It was nominated for and won several awards,
including the Academy Award for “Best
Animated Feature”.
Big Hero 6 in 2-D: Fred, Baymax, Honey Lemon, Hiro, Go Go and Wasabi.
With
that much success under their belt, naturally Disney was strongly looking into
the possibility of a sequel. However, they announced in 2016 that they would be
producing an animated series picking up from where the film left off. Developed
by Mark McCorkle, Bob Schooley and Nick Filippi, the series saw
Hiro attending SFIT with his friends where he was able to rebuild the lost
Baymax, discovering Tadashi’s original programming chip inside of Baymax’s
rocket fist used to save Hiro at the end of the film. He was given Tadashi’s
old lab by the new dean, Professor Grace Granville
(Jenifer Lewis). Granville
would find Hiro a promising young student but kept an eye on what she viewed as
recklessness in his science. Initially, everyone but Fred was satisfied with
returning to their ordinary lives until situations demanded that Big Hero 6 get
back into action.
Big
Hero 6: The Series aired its first episode on both Disney Channel and Disney XD on November 20, 2017 as a
primetime special, raking in high ratings. A stop-motion promo featuring Baymax
crossing over with Disney’s Haunted
Mansion, one of three that also included DuckTales and Star vs. the Forces of Evil,
aired on October 7. The series formally premiered on Disney Channel on June 9,
2018, led into by a series of “Baymax
and…” shorts that began airing on May 31 on Disney Channel, DisneyNOW and Disney’s YouTube. Writers
included McCorkle and Schooley along with Sharon Flynn, Paiman Kalayeh, Bill Motz, Bob Roth, Jeff Poliquin, Noelle Stevenson, Kenny Byerly, Daniel Dominguez, Jenny Jaffe, Han-Yee Ling, Ben Juwono and Ricky Roxburgh.
Season 1 big bad: Obake.
A new crop of villains was created
for the heroes to face. Their chief antagonist was Bob Aken, aka Obake (Andrew Scott), a former SFIT
student mentored by Granville who had a strange fascination towards Hiro and
orchestrated a lot of the events the team would face; Trina Aken (Christy Carlson Romano) was a
robotic “daughter” created by Obake designed to try and entice Hiro into
joining his empire; Dibs, aka Globby
(Andy Richter), was a petty
thief who accidentally got turned into a shape-shifting glob monster—a fact he
actually considered a boon to his criminal career until working with Obake
caused him to reform; Noodle Burger Boy
(Lucas Neff), the robotic
mascot and waiter from Fred’s favorite restaurant, Noodle Burger, that
possessed a prediction algorithm used to guess customers’ orders turned into a
homicidal A.I. by Obake; High
Voltage, the mother/daughter duo of Barb (Katy Mixon) and Juniper (Sophie Reynolds) with dreams of
stardom that use their dance moves in their thefts as well as electricity-projecting
devices; Baron Von
Steamer (Jeff Bennett),
a steampunk-based villain and former arch-enemy of veteran superhero Boss Awesome who
was offended more people didn’t remember him; Momakase (Naoko Mori), a professional
thief and sushi chef that used knives and katana as weapons; the Mad Jacks, a team of
high-octane mercenaries all named some variation of Jack: Jack (real name Greg,
voiced by Rob Riggle), Jack
(Kevin Michael Richardson)
and Jaq (Kerri Kenney); Mr. Sparkles (an
abandoned character from the film, voiced by Patton Oswalt), a maniacal and
egotistical game show host that desired to keep anyone from being more famous
than him; Supersonic
Sue (Jane Lynch),
another Boss Awesome foe that used performance enhancing roller skates in her
crimes; and Supersonic
Stu (Timothy Simons),
Sue’s childish grandson whose skates allowed him to turn into a speedball; From
the film, Callaghan would return for an episode, and Japanese gangster Yama (Paul Briggs) would make several
appearances.
Fred and Mini-Max.
Other characters included Mini-Max (John Michael Higgins), a
miniature version of Baymax created by Hiro with an over-the-top heroic
personality meant to keep Fred out of trouble; Heathcliff (David Shaughnessy), Fred’s
unflappable and faithful butler who was once a secret agent codenamed Mongoose;
Karmi (Haley Tju), a gifted biology
student and Hiro’s chief academic rival who had a crush on his alter-ego (whom
she called “Captain Cutie”) and was Big Hero 6’s biggest fan; Richardson Mole (Sean Giambrone), Fred’s
arch-nemesis and complete opposite who owned his own comic book store; Felony Carl (Diedrich Bader), a low-key
minor criminal who eventually gave up his life of crime and lived with Globby; Bluff Dunder (also Bader),
a reporter with a pompous delivery that always seemed to catch Big Hero
6-relevant news stories; and Mrs. Frederickson
(Susan Sullivan), Fred’s
mother who posed as the supervillain Major Blast in order to test her husband,
and later son. Stan Lee
would reprise his role of Fred’s dad, aka Boss Awesome, from the film in
several episodes until his death. Originally, the film’s producers planned to
have a nod to Lee by making Fred’s dad resemble him. However, when producers
realized audiences had begun waiting for post-credit scenes in Marvel movies,
they hastily turned Mr. Frederickson into a full character and had Lee voice him
in their own post-credits scene.
Professor Granville introduces "Liv" Amara to Karmi and Hiro.
Ahead of the first season’s
premiere, Disney had already renewed Big Hero 6 for a second season. Schooley
announced that rather than the season-long story arc of the first season, the
second would be split up into two. The first half, titled “Monsters”, had the
team going up against a variety of bioengineered monsters, high-tech robots and
new villains. The primary villain of this half was Diane “Di” Amara (Mara Wilson), who actually
appeared during season one. Di was actually a clone of Liv Amara (also Wilson),
the billionaire CEO of Sycorax
and Krei’s chief rival. Liv had placed herself in stasis after suffering cell
destruction due to an experiment she conducted on herself, and charged Di with
curing her. Di attempted this by any means necessary, usually by conducting
dangerous biological experiments on unwitting participants turning them into
monsters; that included upgrading Big Hero 6’s various foes. She was often
assisted by her genetically-engineered perfect assistant, Chris (Ben Feldman), who possessed
super strength, agility and senses due to being made with various animal genes.
Hiro and Megan uncomfortably watch Cass go on a date with Chief Cruz.
The
second half, “Fugitives”, introduced the new characters of newly-elected police
chief Diego Cruz (Néstor Carbonell) and his
daughter, Megan (Isabella Gomez). Cruz wanted to
put a stop to vigilantism, believing the “heroes” were as big a problem as the villains
and a magnet for the trouble. His prejudice stemmed from the fact his father
died protecting him from a villain when Boss Awesome arrived too late. Of
course, his constantly trying to bust Big Hero 6 was made awkward by the fact
that he had a crush on Cass. Megan was an aspiring journalist who figured out
Big Hero 6’s identities and began helping them. She also became Hiro’s love
interest, replacing Karmi who was forced to move away by her parents after
being changed into a monster (she would return the following season and
seemingly replace Megan). The team gained new upgrades to their suits (Fred
gained an entirely new suit that gave him invisibility powers and a tongue
weapon) as well as a new base inside an abandoned candy
factory, courtesy of Fred’s money and the handiness of Roderick “Roddy” Blair
(John DiMaggio), who built
Boss Awesome’s base. He also created the artificial intelligence that ran it: Basemax (Zehra Fazal), a female
supercomputer version of Baymax.
Noodle Burger Boy and his family: Hyper-Potamus, Hangry Panda and Crushroom.
The
second season aired initially on weekday afternoons before moving to Disney XD
on Saturday mornings for the remainder. Shortly before its premiere, a third
season was announced, which aired Monday nights. It was decided to change up
the format of the show and make each episode (except the first) comprised of two
11-minute segments, rather than a full half-hour story. The focus of the season
was largely on Noodle Burger Boy’s recruitment of his new “family” of robots
consisting of corrupted servant bots Hyper-Potamus (Kari Wahlgren), an excitable
animatronic hippo that could fly; Hangry Panda (Nicole Sullivan), a panda with
a juice-making mouth; and Crushroom
(Cree Summer), a super-strong
mushroom with large arms that spoke in the third person. It was the shortest
season, running only 10 episodes, and was also the series’ last. During its
run, it racked up 2 Daytime Emmy Award
nominations, a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award nomination, and 3 Annie Award nominations, winning one.
In
between the seasons, additional shorts were made for simultaneous release on
the network, DisneyNOW and YouTube. “Baymax Dreams” featured
Baymax in “dream” sequences using a mix of 2D and 3D animation created with Unity Technologies’ real-time
rendering technology. The first in the series was previewed on IGN’s website on
September 14th, 2018. The final short, “Baymax Dreams of Fred’s
Glitch”, was a special interactive one that debuted on January 28, 2021 at the Sundance
Film Festival before a regular
version was uploaded the following month.
Big Chibi 6.
The
next series was “Big
Chibi 6”, which was based on Karmi’s fanfiction sequences from “Fan
Friction”. They were used to fill the gap between the conclusion of season 1
and the beginning of season 2, airing its first one on November 6, 2018. The Chibi-fied characters
would replace the blinking Baymax head seen during the end credits in season 2.
The final series of shorts was “Baymax and Mochi”, which
featured Baymax on misadventures with Cass’ cat, Mochi. They were animated in
a style reminiscent of water colors and began airing on May 6, 2019. Baymax
would be featured in an episode of the shorts series Random Rings, where
characters from one show would call one from another program. “Baymax Helps Launchpad!”
aired on June 30, 2020 and featured Launchpad McQuack (Beck Bennett) from the DuckTales
reboot.
Trina gets an upgrade.
In
2019, a mobile game was released on DisneyNOW based on the “Baymax Dreams”
shorts called Bed Bug
Blitz. The player had to help Baymax navigate his dreams while
defeating enemies and protecting sheep. Joe Books published a Cinestory
comic of “Baymax Returns” utilizing stills from the episode
in 2018. IDW Publishing acquired
the rights to produce
a comic based on the franchise written by Hannah Blumenreich and Joe
Caramagna with art from Nicoletta
Baldari and lettering from Christa
Miesner. Originally intended to be released in 2018 and taking place after
the film, it was pushed back until late 2019 and was rebranded to be more in
line with the show. The next two issues were further delayed into 2020, and then
went on indefinite hiatus due to the comic book industry shutdown caused by the
Coronavirus
pandemic. The digital
versions were released that fall, with a print collection called Technology
is Unbeatable set for a planned release in 2021. Bandai produced a line
of action figures including the heroes in their regular and
alternate costumes and Obake, as well as a Baymax
that could be squished into his armor and Wasabi’s car and vinyl figures in the
Chibi style with the addition of Noodle Burger Boy and Baron Von Steamer.
Bandai also released an 8-inch talking
Mini-Max. Disney would recycle their Disney Store set of PVC figurines
from the movie for the show by removing the Yokai and Tadashi pieces and putting
the rest in a new package.
Basemax.
Disney
Channel has so far only released one
DVD collection for the show, featuring 7 episodes and 6
Baymax shorts. The entire series was made available to purchase digitally on Amazon
Prime Video and Google
Play,
with the first season available on iTunes
and the third season and shorts available on DisneyNOW.
The shorts alone were available to stream on Fubo
and the 3rd season with select episodes from the first two on Direct TV.
The first two seasons were put on Disney+,
with the third coming later, and full episodes were uploaded to their YouTube channel. Disney would
announce on Investor Day 2020 that Disney+ would also host the
next entry in the Big Hero 6 franchise with Baymax!, an animated
series centered on his treating various patients around San Fransokyo.
