Big Hero 6 Bonus Content
*Disclosure: I received an all expenses paid trip to Los Angeles for the coverage of several press events for Disney. All opinions are 100% my own.
One of the coolest things about Disney movies are the bonus content and of course some of the new “shorts”. While in LA in February we were able to set down with the director Patrick Osborne. He is the director of the newest short FEAST and learn about some of the behind the scenes things about making Feast. I love that Disney is allowing kids around the world a sneak peek into how things are being made helping them learn and not just watch TV/Movies.
Feast Theatrical Short
The Feast Theatrical short was an adorable short that tells the story of Winston the Boston Terrier who is the star of the short. Winston is an adorable star who is energetic and has several years of culinary experience with his owner. But as is life, things change and Winston feels like he is getting the shaft, but in the end love prevails. Just be ready for a few tears to flow because this story is told beautifully from the point of view of Winston the Boston Terrier. In the six minutes of Feast I laughed, cried and of course related to the story line, it is a must watch feature of Big Hero 6.
Patrick Osborne and his team did a wonderful job telling the story with the use of food, family and love. Check out the adorable preview video below! You can even purchase the short for $1.99 if you can’t wait to watch it in it’s entirety!
Big Hero 6
With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” is an action-packed comedy-adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius—thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.
Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action, “Big Hero 6” is directed by Don Hall (“Winnie the Pooh”) and Chris Williams (“Bolt”), and produced by Roy Conli (“Tangled”).
Bonus Extras Included on Big Hero 6
The orgin Story of Big Hero 6: Hiro’s Journey allows you to discover how the filmakers turned a whimsical comic book into a a true Disney animated Super hero adventure. Which is hosted by actor Jamie Chung (Go Go).
*Fun Fact* Artists looked at actors like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper and other cowboys to study cool, emotionally reserved traits while developing GoGo Tomago’s look and personality.
Big Hero Secrets
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BLINK – Baymax sports a standard nine-frame-blink, says head of animation Zach Parrish. “We play with the speed of his blink throughout the film, but for the most part, it’s a standard blink. It’s the amount of time we give the audience to think before he blinks that says a lot—the longer it is, the more time he’s processing. A double blink shows confusion. We used that a few times in the film. That could be an acting choice for a human character, too.”

MORE ROBOT LOVE – Genesis Rodriguez, who lends her voice to Honey Lemon in “Big Hero 6,” was on her school’s robotics team. “I was a welder,” she says. “So I made sure my weldings were just perfect and very aesthetically pleasing as well. People didn’t expect us to be so good. That was the beauty of it. We were just this bright group of girls who had an idea, executed it and beat the guys.”
SMART GUY — James Cromwell, who lends his voice to Professor Robert Callaghan, studied at Carnegie Mellon University (then called Carnegie Tech). “Big Hero 6” filmmakers spent time at the school, learning all about the innovative field of soft robotics, which ultimately inspired Baymax, a huggable vinyl robot that takes care of people.
FULL CIRCLE – As a child, Damon Wayans Jr., who provides the voice of Wasabi, wanted to be an animator when he grew up. He even studied animation after graduating high school before he decided to pursue acting.
Deleted Scenes includes alternate opening and an intro by the directors. Be sure to pick up your copy on February 24th, 2015 to check out this amazing movie, short and of course the deleted scenes!
