Big Hero 6 Isn't Frozen For Boys and 7 More Reasons to See It!

According to the movie's director, Don Hall, Big Hero 6 is a true love letter to Japan. Set in the futuristic blended metropolis of San Fransokyo, the city is home to San Francisco's famous hills and trolley cars as well as Tokyo's public transportation system and distinguishable cultural identifiers — pufferfish balloons float above the city, the Golden Gate Bridge features traditional torii gates on its highest points, etc. Several of the characters, including Hiro, are of blended heritage, too, though the subject is never really addressed in the film.
