Earlier today via the Los Angeles Times's Hero Complex blog, Walt Disney Studios debuted the first footage from Big Hero 6, the first animated feature film based on a Marvel Comics property and the most family-friendly Marvel film in years.

"I was looking for something on the obscure side, something that would mesh well with what we do," said director Don Hall. "The idea of a kid and a robot story with a strong brother element, it's very Disney."

He added, "Marvel properties take place in the real world. We were looking for something to do where we could make our own world — bring in the Japanese influences,  have recognizable landmarks mashed up with a Japanese aesthetic."

"Don was a huge fan of Marvel," Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada said of Hall. "He understood what we did. I didn't have to explain our world to him. The relationship between Hiro and his robot has a very Disney flavor to it … but it's combined with these Marvel heroic arcs."

The footage is not currently available for embed, but you can see it at the link above.
