The Pitch Review: Big Hero 6

DIRECTOR: Okay, people (clapping hands 3 times). It's gonna go like this (hands up, palms facing out). Tense. Funny. Happy. Funny. Curious. Sad. Story...etc...etc... You know the drill, people. This is a Disney film. We have standards to meet.

STORY BOARD ARTISTS: Got it. No problem. Do you want a lot of camera moves?

DIRECTOR: In fact, yes. Yes I do. It will have dynamic movement. And I want to walk the line of the Uncanny Valley, but not actually cross the line. No revulsion. It’s Disney, remember…

ART DIRECTOR: Ooooh! I want to see a rainbow of color! Colorful. I want a rainbow of color to smash them in the face. And say BOOM! (whispering) Rainbow…

ART DIRECTOR: Awesome! I’ve got some GREAT characters in mind. Hey, I might sneak in a nod to Stan Lee, but let’s keep that on the DL. Let’s see if they catch it. HA! They’re gonna love this. Girls will love it, boys will love it, trust me. They’ll love it.

DIRECTOR: They better. It’s Disney, remember?

ARTISTS: (whispering behind hand) Shut up, Director. J
