When it comes to the live-action Disney adaptations, it's usually not hard to figure out which animated features will get the greenlight. For example, Tangled is kind of a no-brainer, with the only surprise being that it took so long.That's why, when we got a live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch and will soon get one for Moana, I kind of just rolled my eyes. Not because either is a bad choice (I love Moana, after all), but because they're just so…obvious. You know which animated movie wouldn't be an obvious choice? 2014's Big Hero 6, which I think would make for an amazing live-action adaptation. Here's why. (Image credit: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)Big Hero 6 Could Actually Benefit A Great Deal In Live-ActionSome movies probably wouldn't be great for live-action adaptations, such as The Aristocats, which was thankfully cancelled. I only say this, though, because what could you actually DO with The Aristocats to give it new life for a new audience? I know that's not Disney's ultimate intention when greenlighting these adaptations (their ultimate intention being $$$, of course), but as a viewer, that's what I look for when I watch these adaptations: What has been added to make it feel new?Well, for Big Hero 6, I think a lot can be done in live-action that would make it genuinely exciting to see again with actual actors. Loosely based on the Marvel comic of the same name, Big Hero 6 is about a young robotics expert who loses his older brother to nefarious means, and his quest to avenge him with the help of his brother's former university friends, and also a lovable nurse robot named Baymax. All of the tech-centric action was cool in animated form, but I think it would be exponentially cooler in live-action, especially with the advanced city of San Fransokyo as a backdrop. Sure, Disney owns Marvel and has no shortage of comic book movies, but Big Hero 6 is unique in that it’s a comic book film directly aimed at a younger audience, which I think would make it stand apart from other Disney live-action adaptations.(Image credit: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)It's A Bit Of A Cult Movie For Disney, So It Might Even Gain A New FollowingAnother thing that kind of annoys me with these adaptations is that they're usually for movies that kids might have already seen in animated form. For example, looking back at the Disney Renaissance, we've already gotten adaptations of the most popular films of that era: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and Mulan (with Hercules still on the way). Did we get an adaptation for The Rescuers Down Under? Did we get one for Pocahontas? No, and no, and that's because Disney ostensibly only wants to bet on sure things. So, again, Lilo & Stitch and Moana make sense...but haven’t kids likely already seen them in animated form? Even with three different television series, Big Hero 6 has kind of always felt like a cult movie when it comes to Disney (sort of like Bolt), and I think a live-action adaptation could bring new eyes to this awesome story. That said, there’s one main reason why I think a live-action Big Hero 6 would work.(Image credit: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)I Just Want More BaymaxI’ll be honest with you. I know the world loves Stitch as a character, and that people have embraced Maui, but I just don’t have much enthusiasm for either of them. Do you know who I do love? Baymax. In fact, who doesn’t? The lovable healthcare robot is the standout character in Big Hero 6. I think a live-action Baymax would be the absolute cutest, and I think it would really stand out if he was brought back to the big screen. The beauty is, with the way AI and tech are heading, Baymax makes more sense now than ever. A lot of people have kind of rallied against AI these days, but Baymax represents the side of it that is actually quite welcoming. So, maybe it would actually behoove Disney to put Baymax front and center in a live-action film, especially with the way they’re now leaning into AI. Just a thought.
