Disney Will Eventually Make A 'Big Hero 6' Sequel, And This Is How They'll Do It
Baymax and Big Hero 6 were a big hit for Disney last year, so can we expect a Big Hero 7?
I’ve been hanging on to this theory since before I even watched the movie back in November. In fact, the movie itself almost confirms that this is what will happen when Disney ultimately makes the Big Hero 6 sequel.
Oh? You don’t think there will be a sequel?
Here we go.
Disney wants to make sequels again.
Big Hero 6 is one of the riskiest animated movies Disney has ever made. Period. They’ve never spent that much money to make a film based on something so obscure. Even Wreck-It Ralph and Meet the Robinsons looked better on paper to a Disney executive.
And it paid off. On top of getting the Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Movie, Big Hero 6 made half a billion dollars in the box office. Frozen and The Lion King are the only animated movies that have made Disney more money than this film.
That, and it’s based off of a serial comic connected to Disney’s other money-making machine: Marvel. And if there’s one thing Marvel and Disney know how to do together, it’s making Marvel sequels.
Keep in mind that although Disney has traditionally shied away from making sequels to its flagship animated features, they’ve also learned from Pixar and even DreamWorks that sequels are worth doing if the creatives behind them want the story to be told.
That’s why even Wreck-It Ralph is getting a sequel, and Frozen is of course getting milked in all sorts of media. Even though it’s not in development yet, Big Hero 6 is almost 100% for sure getting a sequel. And it will probably be called…
