Disney and Marvel have confirmed they’re teaming up with make an animated Big Hero 6! This is pretty cool news. Rumors of Big Hero 6 first started swirling last July.  The Big Hero 6 are a superhero team from Japan, filled with various Japanese-themed heroes, like a giant lizard, a robot and I think a ninja or two. Nobody that mainstream audiences have ever heard of, but probably perfect for an animated cartoon. I like that Disney is willing to take chances on Marvel properties instead of just making an Avengers cartoon movie.

As part of the announcement, Disney released this preview footage…which is basically just a street.

So nothing to see there.

More interestingly, we have this plot synopsis, which is much more fun:

This day just got exciting. We have the first look at concept art from Big Hero 6, the action comedy adventure from Walt Disney Animation Studios. The story centers around a brilliant robotics prodigy, Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city.

Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action, the CG-animated Big Hero 6 hits theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014. Try to remain calm about the fact that you still have 546 days to wait. (We say this, knowing that we’re going to fail at it.)

So yeah, this should be a pretty cool movie.
