Everything Actioncast: Big Hero 6 (2014)
This week for the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to San Fransokyo and discuss Big Hero 6, which came out 10 years ago this week.
The first (and so far only) Marvel Comics movie from Disney Animation Studio, Big Hero 6 is very loosely based on a comic of the same name and follows teenage science genius Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) as he investigates his brother Tadashi’s (Daniel Henney) death in a mysterious fire and the theft of his miraculous “microbot” technology that is in the hands of a supervillain in a yokai mask. Hiro is aided in his quest for justice (and revenge) by Baymax (Scott Adsit), Tadashi’s adorable robotic creation designed to be a healthcare provider, and Tadashi’s college friends, who all create armor and gadgets based on their science projects. Zach and Chris discuss the differences between the comic and the movie, the dark side of Baymax, Hiro’s similarities to Spider-Man, how *spoiler* Professor Callaghan (James Cromwell) quickly decides to start trying to murder his former students, and more.
You can watch Big Hero 6 on Disney+. Next week, we see who is truly the Best of the Best as we discuss the martial arts classic for its 35th anniversary.
