The Los Angeles Times has the first look at Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Big Hero 6, its first movie inspired by a Marvel comic. From Winnie the Pooh director Don Hall, the CG feature centers on “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.”

“I was looking for something on the obscure side, something that would mesh well with what we do,” explained Hall. “The idea of a kid and a robot story with a strong brother element, it’s very Disney.” Big Hero 6 will hit theaters on November 7, 2014.
