This seems like a great fit for Marvel and Disney, Big Hero 6 is the perfect medium for Disney family fun and a Marvel comic book adaptation. I think there next project should be Power Pack, that'd be cool to see

Marvel should really start working on there animated stuff. They seem like they don't even care since EMH. They really have a chance to catch up to DC in that category. I mean they are neck and neck in the comic place, winning in movies as of now. but they need to at least look respectable in Animated stuff.

I'm really excited for this one actually! I'd really like to see more stereoscopic 3D Marvel based films. Tell me a animated universe wouldn't be awesome!

I don't have a problem with comedy. What I do have a problem with is undercutting the drama to force in comedy.

Whatever. I'm fine with it if Marvel has to give Disney some b-characters to make child friendly cartoons, so long as they keep making quality live action flicks for real comic fans.

There is a lot of potential in this, so I hope it turns out well.

@InfiniteMonkey They already changed the name from Hiro Takachiho (comics) to Hiro Hamada.

@aRandomSinisterClone In the actual comics, the guy's name is Wasabi No-Ginger. So Disney didn't actually do it this time.
