Why is Big Hero Six not in Epcot???

[Fox&Hound]

I am watching Big Hero Six again with my daughter and for the life of me, I cannot understand why this movie is not represented in Epcot. If you have not seen it, the film focuses on innovation, robotics, healthcare, and emerging technologies. It could totally take over innovations with robotic exhibits and a thrill ride of some kind. It also did $600 million at the box office. Thoughts? Should this be at Epcot with a focus on robotics and innovation?

Because it makes far to much sense to be in Epcot.

Before it came out, it was represented briefly in Innoventions, and I can definitely see something about robotics and inventions with an Big Hero 6 theme working really well. Maybe if the new cartoon does well we'll see more.

Because Epcot should be more than a marketing vehicle for BRAND's

BH6 no more belongs in EPCOT for featuring tech stuff than Snow White belongs in DAK for featuring forest animals.

Haha clever, but I think it is a little diffrent. Thematically BH6 deals with topics of innovation and technology and how technology can improve the lives of others (with a super hero overlay). That is more than just a movie with some cute animals in it at parts.

I get it- many people do not want to see more IP in Epcot and feel that adding IP ruins the original intent of Epcot. Personally, I am fine with IP being added when it fits. Guardians replacing Ellen? Does not make sense to me but this film feels like a no brainer. But to each their own opinion.

Thanks for your persepctive

Because not every film needs some sort of role inside the parks.

You Are aware that Baymax is doing Meet & Greets......IN Epcot....Right?

I think it would be cool if they set up Innoventions like it was the science fair in the movie with different medical related innovations showcased like prosthetics, or laser surgery, etc. As to being a "vehicle for brands," well that is exactly what EPCOT was when it started. Every single ride, exhibit and pavilion was sponsored by a major brand. Most still are but it is not as front and center as it used to be.

Innoventions in Epcot94 was basically that...Check out Martins Tribute...

I still remember that one day I had at Epcot back in 1994, I was 3 years old, remember every little bit and still look back at it as one of the top 20 best days of my entire life along with the 3 other times I visited before 1999. Don't see how they could kill that concept because it was that great its obvious I'm not the only one.

What about a movie that's literally about the wonders of technology and innovation in a park that celebrates technology and innovation?

But you didn't ask about innovation and technology, you asked about Big Hero 6. That means innovation and technology are secondary; they are not the focus or subject of what would be included.

They "Test Watered" That idea and look what we got....

Is there a Tomorrowland attraction... in Tomorrowland?
I'm talking about using an IP centered around kids learning about technology and innovation in its proper place in Epcot. Seems like a perfect fit honestly.

Why yes they did..It fits it very well....

 

[Kman101]

I think people need to look a little past their "IP = Negative/Awful/Should Never Happen". This is one property that would actually work in the park. It's a little different than just shoving in an IP and forcing it to work .... Characters aren't always a bad thing if used correctly. I understand wanting Epcot pure. I do too, but some character/IP integration that makes sense and fits isn't the worst thing. Figment's a character. He just happened to be created for Epcot. It would be viewed differently if Baymax were designed for Epcot and not in a movie so let's think about that one ...

Well, there's a whole country in the WS that got redone so it could be Frozen.... but we won't go there, lol.

Disney would do very well by having a Rare Character M&G. Innovations East and West are fairly useless attractions at this point. They only thing they really offer is a place for little kids to run around and escape from the sun/heat. It would not be difficult to carve out some of that space for BH6 and others.
