If I was right and it didn't get a release in the U.S. then I hope Disney push for a re-issue in large format screens.

Since I don't want to watch it in German and they don't show it anymore in English, I guess I have to wait for the BD to see it again.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Really enjoyed it. It was at once very "disney" in certain ways, but also something of a fresh departure. I especially like that this one featured voice work not populated with a bunch of A list names. It's been awhile since the promotional focus has been on the actual characters rather than celebrity voices.

Originally Posted By magic0214 I liked it Big Hero 6. That's all. Found it cute, some nice moments, "Ba La La La La" being the highlight, but just kind of underwhelming for me. However, I am really happy with all the attention it is getting and it screams for a theme park attraction. I'm much more excited for Zootopia and Moana.
