It has been quite an amazing journey for Big Hero 6 directors Don Hall and Chris Williams. When Disney acquired Marvel back in 2009, Hall found an obscure Marvel property that he would use as an inspiration for his follow up to Winnie The Pooh. Chris Williams then came on as co-director to help help him out.

Big Hero 6 may be an adaptation of a Marvel title, but this is a Disney movie through and through, and is a culmination of years of research at Carnegie Mellon, San Francisco, and Tokyo, as well as writing and rewriting the story over and over until it was just right.

The Academy Award-nominated* film is already out on Digital HD, but will be available on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on February 24. We had a chance to sit down with the directors for a one-on-one interview where we talked about going from the pages of the comic book to the film, the recording process, cosplay, the research, and working with Marvel. Hit the jump for the full interview.

With the Oscars just around the corner, we film fans debate the odds of our favorite nominees and movies garnering Academy Awards. Alas, we also shake our heads in disappointment over the notable snubs.

This edition of Disney In Depth recognizes The Walt Disney Studios’ chances of attaining Oscars, as well as pays tribute to some titles that deserved some recognition.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Big Hero 6 blasting off on Blu-ray. The Disney animated hit sees its Blu-ray home release and digital download premiere via Disney Movies Anywhere. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest production won over audiences and critics upon arriving in theatres, and those same individuals will be glad to hear that its home release does not disappoint either.

FILM

As I suggested in my original review of Big Hero 6, this action flick demonstrates the studio’s ability to seamlessly blend multiple genres in one. As much as this embodies an origins film that could lead to a sequel, the bustling gang of eccentric characters are crafted to make us fall in love with each of their personalities. This is a story about brothers, loss, new friendships, perseverance and the other touching factors you’re accustomed to from watching a great Disney movie. Additionally, laughs enter in each minute and a few tears are not far behind.

Do you wanna build a Baymax?

He was recently named the most huggable character of the year and now someone has created a spot-on Baymax Snowman!

Check out the photo here below.

The lovable companion robot from Disney’s Big Hero 6 attributed his Most Huggable win to his “non-threatening, huggable design.” The movie will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 24, 2015, while a 10″ Baymax Plush Figure with Sound Effects is available right now.
