Big Hero 6" 1. According to art designer Scott Watanabe, the film takes place in a parallel universe. In this universe, after the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, a group of Japanese immigrants used special mobile buildings. Technology rebuilt it. The city was renamed "Old Jingshan San Fransokyo".
2. The facial design of "White Fatty" is reminiscent of a traditional Japanese wind chime. Director Don Hall took inspiration from visiting Japanese temples. Fatty Bai's body movements are designed to imitate baby penguins.
3. Although this film is based on the Marvel comics of the same name, huge changes have been made in the character's name, background, personality and storyline.
4. This film is the first Marvel adaptation film released by Disney Animation. However, "Big Hero 6" and other Marvel live-action movies do not share the same universe setting.
5. The two members of "Big Hero 6", Silver Samurai and Sunfire, did not appear in the film. Because they were used by the characters in the "X-Men", the film copyright belongs to 20th Century Fox.
6. In Fred's apartment, you can see a picture of Stan Lee, the master of Marvel comics. It is said that there is a clause in all Marvel film adaptation agreements to allow Stan Lee to appear in some form.
7. Combining San Francisco and Tokyo to create a new and wonderful city, this idea comes from John Lasseter, the head of Disney Animation.
