Big Hero Six

[luisov]

Big Hero 6 is over $600 million and climbing thanks to China and Japan. In China it opened higher than any other Disney Animation,including Frozen! In it's second week it continues strongly and is already the 2nd biggest Disney or Pixar release ever in China! It has also made $75.1 million in Japan and continues to have legs 10 weeks after it's debut there. I am not sure where it will end; maybe $650 million!?

So happy for Big Hero 6! It truly is a great film, so I'm really glad to see that it's succeeding so much. I'm particularly happy because after Frozen I was scared of them following the princess/musical formula that felt a little overdone towards the end of the Disney Renaissance in the 90's. With Wreck-it-Ralph and Big Hero 6 they've seen that they can make great and successful films that are not based on fairytales.

You are so right. Wreck it Ralph and Big Hero 6 are both so unique. It is great to see so much innovation in storytelling. Tangled was actually very different even though it was a princess movie. AND, Disney is doing the same innovation with live action. Alice In Wonderland - a reimagining, Oz - a prequel to another property not Disney, Maleficent - twists the story all around, and then Cinderella - sticks to but enhances the story. Disney isn't sticking to one formula anymore, but is doing many different things. Almost all of them successful, except for Lone Ranger and John Carter. But those are tiny bumps in the road now with all the successes. And if they can keep doing successful movies (Four 2014 Disney movies exceeded $600 Million worldwide) a few bombs, even big ones, won't hurt. Keep it up Disney!

I remember I rented Big Hero 6 from the library months ago, and my mom and I laughed at the part where Hiro kept falling and Baymax kept starting over his "scale of 1-to-10" question because of it. It was hilarious!
