Big Hero 6 is This Fall’s Big Animated Movie #BigHero6

Big Hero 6 - With Christopher Wiliams and Roy Conli

I’m only speculating here but I believe that the upcoming Disney/Marvel Studios movie “Big Hero 6” is going to be the biggest animated movie of the Fall. What am I basing that on? Well a couple months back I went out to California for an all expense paid Press Tour and while I was there I previewed many clips from the movie. I also met and interviewed the creators of “Big Hero 6”. My pronouncement that this will be the Fall’s biggest animated movie is based upon how excited I was after seeing the clips and learning more about the movie. If the rest of the movie is as compelling and visually stunning as the clips that I saw then this will be the next big animated movie.

While we were an all expense paid Disney Press Tour a couple of months ago we, the group of bloggers on the trip, were lucky enough to see the new short film called “Feast”. This adorable short film will be shown before “Big Hero 6” which is out in theaters on November 7, 2014.

We were fortunate to get to interview the creator/director of “Feast”, Patrick Osborne. Feast came about through the Walt Disney animation Studio’s Spark program—which invites artists to explore their own unique ideas in a month-long project that is presented to the Studio team. Any employee can submit and idea for a short animated film. An idea is chosen and the film gets made. Patrick Osborne submitted an idea that was tied to a project that he did where he took made videos of his meals every day. He was then able to see trends in his meals and things happening in his life. Continue reading Meet Winston, The Little Puppy with a Big Appetite and Huge Heart in “Feast” #BigHero6
