Review: ‘Big Hero 6’ on Digital HD

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 54th animated motion picture Big Hero 6 is now available on all major digital download platforms.

Watch This: New Japanese Trailer for ‘Big Hero 6’

A new trailer has been released for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Big Hero 6 in Japan. It has a more serious tone than the U.S. trailer, but ultimately is a bit of a hybrid from what Disney has released in the U.S. (Although some are claiming “spoiler alert,” if you’ve been following the film’s progress since last year’s D23 Expo, you’ll know that the stuff revealed in the Japanese trailer was already spilled by co-director Don Hall last year).
