BIG HERO 6: |OT| Like a Big Marshmallow
Walt Disney's 54th animated film, Big Hero 6, steps into the lore of Marvel to create an entirely original tale on the superhero team of the titular name. Taking place in San Fransokyo, a futuristic city that blends Tokyo and San Francisco architecture, the story follows the life of Hiro Hamada, a prodigious boy inventor and brother of Tadashi Hamada. After his brother's mysterious death, Hiro is left with the medical robot Baymax, his brother's prized creation. However, after a masked criminal steals advanced robots and threatens the city, Hiro pulls together a group of inventors like himself, along with Baymax, to build the technology needed to fight this menace as superheroes.
Setting: San Fransokyo
A futuristic blend of San Francisco and Tokyo, San Fransokyo promises to be a visual treat for moviegoers.Paul Felix, the production designer states "The topography is exaggerated because what we do is caricature, I think the hills are 11/2 times exaggerated. I don’t think you could really walk up them ... When you get to the downtown area, that’s when you get the most Tokyo-fied, that pure, layered, dense kind of feeling of the commercial district there. When you get out of there, it becomes more San Francisco with the Japanese aesthetic. ... (It’s a bit like) Blade Runner, but contained to a few square blocks. You see the skyscrapers contrasted with the hills." Though the film itself is NOT a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it has been stated that the city will contain more easter eggs than ANY Marvel film has had.
Characters
