Jeff Kinney, author of the wildly popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, spoke to children and adults alike at the Jeff Kinney Presents Diary of a Wimpy Kid and a Preview of Book 9, The Long Haul panel at New York Comic-Con Sunday evening. The books had sold 150 million copies worldwide. The Long Haul will be released on November 4, 2014.

Some excerpts from his panel can be found below.

Moderator Chris Hardwick introduced the panel for Disney’s upcoming Big Hero 6, their first animated feature based on Marvel Comics characters.

First up were directors Chris Williams and Don Hall, as well as producer Roy Conli. They started working on it and pitched it three years ago, right around the time of New York Comic-Con.

A clip is then shown. Set in San Fransokyo, a slightly futuristic city with a real feel to it, we find young genius Hiro not using his gifts in good ways. His brother, Tadashi, hoping to set him on a better path, lures him to his university lab. “Welcome to the Nerd Lab.” It is there that he is introduced to Baymax, a robotic healthcare companion (kinda resembles the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man), and the other nerds: Honey Lemon, Go-Go, Wasabi (“I spilled Wasabi on my shirt one time people!”), and Fred (who’s not really a student there, just a part-time mascot who thinks science is cool).
