Behold Your Big Hero 6!
It’s still hard to believe that Disney is going to make an animated movie out of Big Hero 6 – but a slew of new character posters confirm everything! I know next to nothing about the comic book Big Hero 6, so I have no idea how accurate these designs are. But then comic book accuracy means absolutely nothing. All that matters is that these characters and this movie are cool.
Check them out – and join me in giggling at their names!
I bet Wasabi No-Ginger is going to be the breakout character of the year.

Hello! How ‘Bout a Fun Broadway Song!
It took the geniuses of the Internet long enough to mash-up The Book of Mormon with South Park, but the results are just as wonderful as we could have hoped.
As we all know, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the geniuses behind both, so it was only a matter of time before someone put the two shows together. Why we don’t have a full Book of Mormon cartoon in the South Park style is anyone’s guess. I also still need to go see the show on Broadway one of these days.
This mash-up was made by Simon Chong.
The LEGO Movie Just Gets Better and Better
The LEGO Movie comes out on DVD this week, so all of you hold-outs who didn’t go see it in theaters can finally enjoy what is still the best movie of 2014! And if you get the Blu-Ray, you apparently get special LEGO short films, like History Cops, which might just be the best short video of 2014.
That this was made by the people behind The LEGO Movie is even better. I’m glad I live in a world where this sort of thing exists.
Also, The LEGO Movie is so good, I’m considering buying the DVD. It’s that good!
The Internet is Equal Parts Amazing and Snark
First of all, check out this gorgeous picture of a Disneyfied Doctor Who, drawn by the now Internet famous Stephen Byrne.
I love this picture. It’s stunningly gorgeous, both in the way it really does tap into the look and feel of Disney animation, while also giving each of the Doctors his own perfectly realized look. It’s stunning. My Internet Hat is off to this Stephen Byrne guy for the drawing alone.
But then Byrne goes one step further, and solidifies himself as the winner of the Internet for this month.
A lot of people started criticizing the drawing in terms of accuracy to the real Doctors. For example, the Fourth Doctor was actually fairly tall and lanky, whereas Byrne chose to draw him short and impish. Personally, I love it, but the Internet is a place of great criticism and foolishness.
Fortunately for us all, Bryne’s response was so sarcastic that he may have single-handedly redefined the word.
First Trailer for Legend of Korra Season 3!
Sadly, this is just a wordless teaser trailer, so we can’t much tell what the heck is going on…and there is surprisingly little Korra.
But who’s complaining? Bring on Season 3! Though if I’m being completely honest with myself and you, my loyal Internet readers, I’ve mostly been let down with Legend of Korra as a whole. It’s a fine show, I suppose, but it comes up lacking in probably every comparison to The Last Airbender. I’m also disappointed that the entire show isn’t more serialized. Each season is, sure, but Last Airbender was a three-season epic quest to save the world. In Legend of Korra, the bad guys politely wait their turn for each season.
