Big Hero Six creator credits

I've just seen the 2014 animated film Big Hero Six which was very - extremely rather quite very - loosely based on the obscure Marvel Comics characters who had previously starred in two of their own comic book mini-series along with a number of minor appearances here and there. The film kept most of the names (Baymax & Honey Lemon were the only two whose names remained intact) but moved them from Japan to the USA, making the team's very name a weird artifact of the comics. Further, they altered a team of 5 Japanese heroes (+1 robot) to a team of 1 Japanese-American & 4 Americans of various ethnicities (+1 robot). For those of us who know the comics it's really distracting to see how off-model the film is. After all, I was one of the 5,000 people who bought that Claremont/Nakayama mini-series in 2008!

Anyway, here are the creators whose efforts were represented on screen. Check out my list of creator credits for links to the other Marvel films & TV shows I've covered.
