Disney rolls out first trailer for Marvel’s Big Hero 6

BIG HERO 6

We’ve been teased, we’ve been smothered in cute, and we’ve been introduced to the main characters of the movie, now it’s time for Disney marketing to let loose the hounds and really start promoting their next animated feature “Big Hero 6,” which is inspired by a Marvel Comic of the same name.

Released today is the first big trailer for the movie. In it, we get our first look at the movie’s villain – Yokai and a hint of the action that brings the friends together to try and save the day. Plus more Baymax, who is on pace to steal the show with cuteness.

I like that the movie doesn’t have that comic book style, nor does it really have a style that resembles any previous Disney animated feature. It’s kind of a cross between Miyazaki, Chris Sanders (Lilo and Stitch) with a small dose of Pixar thrown in (especially on the secondary characters).

We also have our first easter egg. Look on the back wall behind the police officer right around minute 1:15 in the trailer for a glimpse of a familiar face. Can’t see it? The answer is below the jump

The 60th attraction of the Disneyland Paris resort just opened putting a great big smile on the faces of guests. Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy (or Ratatouille: The Adventure) opened inside Walt Disney Studios on July 10th. It’s part of a mini-land themed to the cobbled streets of Parise and La Place de Remy right out of the Pixar movie – Ratatouille.

Guests on the attraction will experience audio-animatronic animation and larger-than-life projections that immerse them in the world of Rémy. The ride flies over the rooftops of Paris, through the kitchen, and into the rush of a French dining room all via your own “ratmobile.”

Here’s an early video ride-through:
