After graduating from high school, he spends much of his free time participating in illegal. To redirect Hiro, his elder brother Tadashi takes him to the research lab at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred. Hiro also meets Professor Robert Callaghan, the head of the university's robotics program. Amazed, Hiro decides to apply to the university. To enroll, he signs up for the school's science fair and presents his project:, swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable using a neuro-cranial transmitter. At the fair, Hiro declines an offer from Alistair Krei, CEO of Krei Tech, to market the microbots, and Callaghan accepts him into the school. At the end of the day as Hiro and Tadashi share a moment outside the fair building, a fire breaks out among the exhibits, and while everyone flees Tadashi rushes in to save Callaghan, the only person left inside. The building explodes moments later, leading Hiro to believe no-one survived. Weeks later, a depressed Hiro inadvertently activates Baymax, the healthcare robot that Tadashi created, who follows Hiro's only remaining microbot to an abandoned warehouse. There, the two discover that someone has been mass-producing the microbots, and are attacked by a man wearing a mask who is controlling them. After they escape, Hiro equips Baymax with armor and a battle chip containing various moves, and they track the masked man to the docks. GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred arrive, responding to a call from Baymax, and the masked man chases the group. The six escape to Fred's mansion, where they decide to form a high-tech superhero team to combat the villain. The group tracks the masked man, who they suspect to be Krei, to an abandoned Krei Tech laboratory on an island which they discover had been used for research until a test pilot was lost in an accident. The masked man attacks, but the group manages to knock off his mask, revealing the man to be Callaghan, who had stolen Hiro's microbots to shield himself from the explosion on campus. Hiro realizes that Tadashi died for no reason, while Callaghan refuses to take responsibility for Tadashi's death. This prompts an enraged Hiro to remove Baymax's healthcare chip, leaving only the battle chip, and to order him to kill Callaghan. Honey re-installs the healthcare chip at the last second, preventing Baymax from carrying out the kill order. Callaghan escapes, and Hiro leaves with Baymax, intent on avenging Tadashi. Back home, Hiro tries to remove the healthcare chip again, but Baymax stops him and states that vengeance is not what Tadashi would have wanted. To calm him down, Baymax shows Hiro videos of Tadashi running numerous tests during Baymax's development as a demonstration of Tadashi's benevolence and legacy. A remorseful Hiro apologizes to his friends, who reassure him they will catch Callaghan the right way. Video footage from the accident reveals that the pilot was Callaghan's daughter Abigail, and that Callaghan is seeking revenge on Krei. Callaghan interrupts Krei at a public event and attempts to destroy his headquarters using Krei's teleportation portal. After a lengthy battle, the team deprives Callaghan of his microbots and the mask, saving Krei, but the portal remains active. Baymax detects Abigail inside, alive but in hyper-sleep, and leaps into the portal with Hiro to rescue her. They find Abigail's pod, but on the way back out, Baymax is struck by debris, damaging his armor and disabling his thrusters. Knowing that the portal will collapse, Baymax uses his armor's rocket fist to propel Hiro and Abigail back through the portal, forcing them to leave him behind. Callaghan is arrested while Abigail is taken to the hospital. Sometime later, Hiro discovers Baymax's personality chip clenched in the rocket fist. He rebuilds Baymax's body, and the six friends continue their exploits throughout the city, fulfilling Tadashi's dream of helping those in need. During the end credits, a series of newspaper headlines reveals that the university has awarded Hiro a grant and dedicated a building in Tadashi's honor, and that the team has continued protecting the city. In a, Fred discovers a hidden cache of superhero equipment in his family mansion. His father, a retired superhero, returns from vacation and says, 'We have a lot to talk about.' Voice cast [ ] • as, a 14-year-old robotics prodigy. Speaking of the character, co-director said 'Hiro is transitioning from boy to man, it's a tough time for a kid and some teenagers develop that inevitable snarkiness and jaded attitude. Luckily Ryan is a very likeable kid. So no matter what he did, he was able to take the edge off the character in a way that made him authentic, but appealing'. • as, an inflatable robot built by Tadashi as a medical assistant. Hall said, 'Baymax views the world from one perspective — he just wants to help people, he sees Hiro as his patient'. Producer said 'The fact that his character is a limits how you can emote, but Scott was hilarious. He took those boundaries and was able to shape the language in a way that makes you feel Baymax's emotion and sense of humor. Scott was able to relay just how much Baymax cares'. • as, Hiro's older brother and Baymax's creator. On Hiro and Tadashi's relationship, Conli said 'We really wanted them to be brothers first. Tadashi is a smart mentor. He very subtly introduces Hiro to his friends and what they do at San Fransokyo Tech. Once Hiro sees Wasabi, Honey, GoGo, and Fred in action, he realizes that there's a much bigger world out there than really interests him'. • as, a comic-book fan who is also team mascot at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Speaking of Miller, Williams said 'He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected', both literally and metaphorically. • as, a tough, athletic student who specializes in electromagnetics. Hall said 'She's definitely a woman of few words. We looked at bicycle messengers as inspiration for her character'. • as, a smart, slightly neurotic youth who specializes in lasers. On the character, co-director said 'He's actually the most conservative, cautious—he [ ] the most normal among a group of brazen characters. So he really grounds the movie in the second act and becomes, in a way, the voice of the audience and points out that what they're doing is crazy'. • as, a chemistry enthusiast at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Williams said 'She's a glass-is-half-full kind of person. But she has this mad-scientist quality with a twinkle in her eye — there's more to Honey than it seems'. • as Professor Robert Callaghan, the head of a robotics program at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology who becomes an extremely powerful masked supervillain. According to film merchandising, this supervillain alter ego is named 'Yokai'. • as Alistair Krei, a pioneer entrepreneur, tech guru, and the CEO of Krei Tech and is always on the hunt for the next big thing. • as Aunt Cass, Hiro and Tadashi's aunt and guardian. • as Fred's father. Lee's likeness was used for the character. • as Abigail Callaghan, the daughter of Professor Callaghan and a test pilot for Krei Tech. • as Sergeant Gerson, the desk sergeant for the San Fransokyo Police Department. • as Yama, a notorious gangster who seeks revenge after Hiro defeats his robot in a clandestine robot fight with illegal betting. • as a newscaster Production [ ] After 's acquisition of in 2009, CEO encouraged the company's divisions to explore Marvel's properties for adaptation concepts. By deliberately picking an obscure title, it would give them the freedom to come up with their own version. While directing, director was scrolling through a Marvel database when he stumbled upon Big Hero 6, a comic he had never heard of before. 'I just liked the title,' he said. He pitched the concept to in 2011, as one of five ideas for possible productions for Walt Disney Animation Studios, and this particular idea 'struck a chord' with Lasseter, Hall, and. In June 2012, Disney confirmed that Walt Disney Animation Studios was adapting Marvel Comics' series and that the film had been commissioned into early stages of development. Because they wanted the concept to feel new and fresh, head of story (who also voices Yama in the film ) only read a few issues of the comic, while screenwriter Robert Baird admitted he had not read the comic at all. Big Hero 6 was produced solely by Walt Disney Animation Studios, although several members of Marvel's creative team were involved in the film's production including, Marvel's, and, head of. According to an interview with Axel Alonso by, Marvel did not have any plans to publish a tie-in comic. Disney planned to reprint the Marvel version of Big Hero 6 themselves, but reportedly Marvel disagreed. They eventually came to agreement that would publish the Japanese manga version of Big Hero 6 for Disney. Conversely, Lasseter dismissed the idea of a rift between the two companies, and producer stated that Marvel allowed Disney 'complete freedom in structuring the story.' Disney Animation Studio President Andrew Millstein stated: ' Hero is one example of what we've learned over the years and our embracing some of the DNA.' Regarding the film's story, Quesada stated, 'The relationship between Hiro and his robot has a very Disney flavor to itbut it's combined with these Marvel heroic arcs.' The production team decided early on not to connect the film to the and instead set the film in a stand-alone universe. An inflatable vinyl robotic arm that helped inspire Baymax's design, from the researchers in the new field of at 's. With respect to the design of Baymax, Hall mentioned in an interview, 'I wanted a robot that we had never seen before and something to be wholly original. That's a tough thing to do, we've got a lot of robots in pop culture, everything from to to on down the line and not to mention Japanese robots, I won't go into that. So I wanted to do something original.' Even if they did not yet know what the robot should look like, artist Lisa Keene came up with the idea that it should be a huggable robot. Early on in the development process, Hall and the design team took a research trip to 's, where they met a team of -funded researchers who were pioneering the new field of ' using inflatable vinyl, which ultimately inspired Baymax's inflatable, vinyl, truly huggable design. Hall stated that 'I met a researcher who was working on soft robots. It was an inflatable vinyl arm and the practical app would be in the healthcare industry as a nurse or doctor's assistant. He had me at vinyl. This particular researcher went into this long pitch but the minute he showed me that inflatable arm, I knew we had our huggable robot.' Hall stated that the technology 'will have potential probably in the medical industry in the future, making robots that are very pliable and gentle and not going to hurt people when they pick them up.' Hall mentioned that achieving a unique look for the mechanical armor took some time and 'just trying to get something that felt like the personality of the character.' Co-director Williams stated, 'A big part of the design challenge is when he puts on the armor you want to feel that he's a very powerful intimidating presenceat the same time, design-wise he has to relate to the really adorable simple vinyl robot underneath.' Baymax's face design was inspired by a copper bell that Hall noticed while at a shrine. According to Conli, Lasseter initially disliked Baymax's description (while low on battery power) of Hiro's cat as a 'hairy baby,' but Williams kept the line in anyway, and at the film's first test screening, Lasseter admitted that Williams was correct. According to Williams, Baymax was originally going to be introduced rather late in the film, but then story artist John Ripa conceived of a way for Baymax to meet Hiro much earlier. The entire film became much stronger by establishing the relationship between Hiro and Baymax early on, but the filmmakers ended up having to reconstruct 'a fair amount of the first act' in order to make that idea work. About ninety animators worked on the film at one point or another; some worked on the project for as long as two years. In terms of the film's animation style and settings, the film combines culture (predominantly ) with culture (predominantly ). In May 2013, Disney released concept art and rendered footage of San Fransokyo from the film. San Fransokyo, the futuristic mashup of San Francisco and Tokyo, was described by Hall as 'an alternate version of San Francisco. Most of the technology is advanced, but much of it feels retro Where Hiro lives, it feels like. We gave them a Japanese makeover; we put a cafe on the bottom of one. They live above a coffee shop.' According to production designer Paul Felix, 'The topography is exaggerated because what we do is caricature, I think the hills are 1½ 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), but contained to a few square blocks. You see the skyscrapers contrasted with the hills.' The reason why Disney wanted to merge Tokyo (which is where the comic book version takes place) with San Francisco was partly because San Francisco had not been used by Marvel before, partly because of all the city's iconic aspects, and partly because they felt its aesthetics would blend well with Tokyo. The filmmakers' idea was that San Fransokyo is based on an alternate history in which San Francisco was largely rebuilt by Japanese immigrants in the aftermath of the, although this premise is never stated in the film. To create San Fransokyo as a detailed digital simulation of an entire city, Disney purchased the actual data for the entire city and county of San Francisco. The final city contains over 83,000 buildings and 100,000 vehicles. A software program called Denizen was used to create over 700 distinctive characters that populate the city. Another one named Bonzai was responsible for the creation of the city's 250,000 trees, while a new rendering system called Hyperion offered new illumination possibilities, like light shining through a translucent object (e.g. Baymax's vinyl covering). 's was considered as a 'Plan B' for the film's, if Hyperion was not able to meet production deadlines. Development on Hyperion started in 2011 and was based upon research into multi-bounce complex originally conducted at in. Disney, in turn, had to assemble a new super-computing cluster just to handle Hyperion's immense processing demands, which consists of over 2,300 Linux workstations distributed across four data centers (three in and one in San Francisco). Each workstation, as of 2014, included a pair of 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon processors, 256 GB of memory, and a pair of 300 GB configured as a (i.e., to operate as a single 600 GB drive). This was all backed by a central storage system with a capacity of five, which holds all digital assets as well as archival copies of all 54 Disney Animation films. The emotional climax that takes place in the middle of a portal is represented by the stylized interior of a. The post-credits scene was only added to the film in August 2014, late in production, after co-director Don Hall and his crew went to see '. He stated that '[i]t horrified us, that people were sat waiting for an end credits thing, because of the Marvel DNA. We didn't want people to leave the movie disappointed.'
