A side effect of Disney buying all of Marvel? They're able to use Marvel characters and not have them be part of the Marvel Movie-verse. Case in point, the upcoming animated film Big Hero 6.
Announced last August, the film will be based on Marvel's team of Japanese Superheroes. The members of the team are kind of weird and obscure, think Kamen Rider & Cutey Honey for reference, So I'll go over them when the movie gets closer.
For now, Disney has released the first trailer for the film:
That would be Tezuka-esque boy genius Hiro Hamada building his robot hero Baymax. I really like this trailer, how instead of a montage of various scenes from the movie it tells a complete story in itself. The Incredibles did something similar and there's sometimes a better way of conveying what your movie will be than a more standard trailer. And I love how Baymax starts off looking like a Totoro-shaped Asimo but with armor has a chunkier Gigantor/Mazinger aesthetic.
Big Hero 6 opens in November.
