If there were any plans, we'd know about them in the next month or two. They didn't hype it up prior, so they likely didn't know to make a comic ahead of time.

I think there is already some manga based on the film.

Because Frozen is way more lucrative. The merchandizing alone is super lucrative.
But I agree. Love this movie.

Finally saw this tonight and I loved it SO MUCH!
I was expecting it to be just ok, but it was great!
Probably the best Disney movie I've seen in a long time

Frozen is actually more popular now than it was a year ago. It's probably one of Disney's top three franchises right now. Big Hero 6 can't compare to that.
Are you surprised they are still pimping Frozen? Its huge.

Frozen has the entire Winter/Christmas season thing going for it too, as if Elsa and Let it Go weren't enough. It's going to be a mainstay of the holiday season for years and years to come. As good as BH6 is, it just doesn't have the same kind of legs. I'm sure it will have a decent enough impact worldwide however. Just this weekend it opened in one of the biggest territories, Japan.
I would buzz, but I still have to more than a month until it comes to germany. And even then I need to see if any cinema shows it in english.

Just saw this last night and it was pretty good. Took my 2 1/2 year old son and he liked but didn't love it as well. The visuals looked gorgeous thought. I'm pretty pumped it was my first movie with my son and he did well in the theatre. Looking forward to going with him in the future

Good god, this may have been one of the best years for super hero movies
1st two are the best of MCU (imo)
DOTF is the top or very close to the top of the X-Men films
BH6 was really awesome
Wow, I saw the poster at first and thought it looked like some dumb kids superhero cash-in, but looking at the trailers and impressions it sounds really good.
Still, I guess I'm going to wait for the blu-ray because I don't feel like going to the cinema with a bunch of kids around.

Ugh in Germany the film is called what roughly translates to
Baymax - Huge robo-bohu
They called the film baymax and slapped on a shitty subtitle? Why?

I loved this movie to bits. Yes, it is not a too much deep nor ambitious movie, but frankly, it didn't need it to be it. It was funny as hell, it got a lot of heart (including some truthly tear-worthy moments), character and scenario design was off the charts, and mah gawd, the animation was truthly superb, carrying the movie and many of its gags by itself. In short: awsome, and much better than Frozen
Saw it today with my wife and her little brother. She cried twice and nearly cried a third time. She wasn't expecting to like it - and only attended because her little brother and I wanted to see it - but she enjoyed it. As for her little bro, he enjoyed it quite a lot. He almost cried twice. And if you're wondering about me... I didn't cry nor get teary, but my heart strings were definitely pulled.
Anyway, I liked the characters. Hiro got annoying, but I understand why he acted the way that he did. My favourite character is Honey, but GoGo has some really cool moments. The plot needed work, but it's fine for the most part. The visuals were great, but the world didn't seem as lively.
Spoiler for post credits scene:
Edit: I forgot to mention that the animated short was also great. Lots of laughs.

Stan Lee's cameo was great. I thought the family portrait was all it's going to be.

Finally got to see it today and loved it. Baymax was great. I want my own Baymax now ha.
The
was just gorgeous. Some lovely shots in that scene.
Post credits scene
The short "Feast" before the film was also pretty cute.
Here's hoping the film gets a sequel as i'll definitely be there day 1 to go see it.
The
first flight over San Fransokyo with upgraded Baymax
The villain reveal was a tad eh though it didn't damper the film too much for me. Great scene though when Hiro orders Baymax to kill the professor got surprisingly dark.
Post credits scene
was quite amusing with Stan Lee popping up.

Good movie all round, liked in more than Frozen though I don't rate Frozen as any more than good. Very funny movie too. You all definitely should watch it if you feel like having a good time.
I also love the diversity of the film, bravo to Disney on that one (not that it changes my score) but it's just so great to see a lead that is non-white (yeah I know he's technically a halfie ...)
Anyhow my negatives are a bit spoilery so ...
Though I really don't think they matter, it's enjoyable enough if just for character's who are all likeable in my opinion and of course the humor of the film.

It is an incredibly predictable film though, the supporting cast is largely overlooked which is fine ... if you are going to stick to about 90 minutes excluding the short in front. But I still don't know why these movies have to be this short though.
Villain was completely non-threatening and underdeveloped.

Finally saw it today, it's good but not great. The city and the side characters all looked so interesting, yet so underdeveloped, the film is called Big Hero 6, but the rest of team are "just there". The story was waaay too predictable, only a few moments really stood out.
To me, Tangled >= Frozen > Big Hero 6 > Wreck-it Ralph.

Lovely movie, really enjoyed it. Are the guys who made Wreck-It Ralph behind this? Hopefully, I've really enjoyed those two Disney movies.

Saw this on the weekend with my 5yo daughter. It is pretty formulaic but what it does it does well. Baymax is supremely likeable.
The visuals are breathtaking, the city scenes just felt so rich and dense. For me, this and The Croods are my current kings of art and IQ.

One thing though, my daughter was inconsolable at the end, she was really upset when Baymax sacrificed himself. Maybe they could have better explained his revival through software a bit better. She was really upset.

I think Baymax is a pretty cool character that kids are going to go gaga for and I love the way the film played with his materials. I think San Fransokyo is pretty inspired. The fractal electron microscope cloud world through the vortex was gorgeous looking.
... but that's pretty much it. The Big Hero squad are barely integrated into the film, except TJ Miller who plays the same dumb wisecrack character every animated kids movie has and really didn't earn the screentime he had. I have no idea if that's a remnant from a draft of the film where his character had a bigger role (the rock trolls in Frozen were a leftover from an earlier draft) or if they grafted him on to make the movie funnier or have another human character. We see very little of the city except for the flying sequence which is short and not super interesting. The plot is threadbare and literally dumping the exposition into five seconds of "Wait, the dead pilot is his daughter??? And now he wants revenge????" sucks. Also the film really had almost no emotion. Baymax's sacrifice was so obviously not going to stick and nothing else really registered emotionally at all.
The whole time I was watching it I was thinking "wow this is clearly being made for 10-12 year old boys" in a way that I haven't seen since, uh, Cars I guess? I have no idea what the comics are like but this was obviously made as part of the cradle-to-the-grave marvel fan machine. They have a formula, and they aren't afraid to use it. The post-credit sequence was embarrassing because it took the worst character of the movie, stuck him in with perennial comic fan in-joke cameo Stan Lee, and made a stupid teaser. It's such a vapid practice in the Marvel films, disappointing to see it here.
It doesn't drag as much as Wreck-it Ralph--which I was pretty meh on, and it's not as boring or empty as some of Disney's worst like Home on the Range, but I didn't think it was a good movie. I'd give it a marginal thumbs down or marginal thumbs up, definitely not a strong recommendation either way.

Yeah, this sums up my thoughts on the movie, two months later. Baymax is fantastic, but he's really the only reason to see this movie.

Just think about it, without
Anybody?
Callaghan killing the brother, whats the motivation for Hiro to upgrade Baymax? and without that upgrade, they would never had been able to save his daughter, everyone was sure she was dead, the only person that cared was Callaghan

Saw it yesterday. Yes, they played it very safe with the movie but it was still pretty, pretty good. The sad moment were indeed really sad. Especially in the beginning.
The co characters were alright too. I liked Hiro. And his brother was a cool guy as well. Of course Baymax stole the show. That thing is so cute >_<. I could watch a whole movie with Baymax doing Baymax things.

GAT DAMN Mexican dubs for animated movies are always spot on. Makes me wonder why TV dubs for Latin America are usually done in other...more talentless studios.
Loved the movie to death, probably the most well done Disneysification of an IP. I want this version to be BH6 from now on.

I still have no idea why Disney dropped 3D bluray for animated movies in US.
The film finally came out yesterday in the UK and I saw it today.
Good film, even if it was somewhat predictable.

The villain reveal especially, which I predicted the moment the character was introduced.
They tried throwing people off with Krei, but him being the villain seemed too obvious for it to be the case.

It's why I still haven't purchased Frozen. When it came out I thought "I'll wait for the 3D release when they release it for the holidays." Huh, that came and went with no 3D release, hmm? Guess I hold on this too.

The more I ponder with this film the more it feels less special to me. Felt like it's mediocre when compared to a typical Kamen Rider episode.
It is much more emotionally wavering than Frozen though, that's for sure.
