CHIP ‘N DALE RESCUE RANGERS, Episode 1 “Piratsy Under the Seas” (7 out of 10) – Directed by John Kimball, Bob Zambonie, and Alan Zaslove; Written by Mark Edens; Starring Corey Burton, Peter Cullen, Jim Cummings, and Tress MacNeille. Originally aired March 4, 1989.

By the time that “Rescue Rangers” hit the air, Chip and Dale were already well known and established Disney Characters. The duo were created in 1943 and appeared in 23 shorts between then and 1956. “Rescue Rangers” saw them paired up with two other mice (Monty and Gadget) and a fly (Zipper). Collectively they made up the a team that solved mysteries and the day using a combination of sleuthing, bumbling, muscle, intelligence, and loyalty.

The design of the two title characters is based loosely on the characters Indiana Jones and Magnum P.I. This basis only goes about as far as wardrobe, the personalities don’t transfer.

In the pilot episode titled “Piratsy Under the Seas,” Dale finds himself accidentally inside a trash can on garbage day and is lifted into a truck and eventually a barge out to sea. The rest of the rangers make pursuit to rescue him on a powered roller skate designed and built by Gadget. While on the barge, the group encounters a group of “pi-rats” so called because they are pirates, but also rats. The series is filled with puns just like this. The pirates are all located on a capsized ship on the bottom of the ocean but send up a surface craft made from a barrel to pull trash from the passing barge for them to eat. Chip and Dale happen are pulled into the water and the rest of the gang must rescue them. Gadget once again comes to the rescue by building a submarine out of supplies she finds on the barge.

Chip and Dale discover that the pi-rats have been guarding a pile of gold and waiting for their long lost captain for 200 years, never having seen the surface during that time. Most of them were born on the ship under water and have never seen the surface, only one rat is shown to have actually known the captain. Once Chip and Dale see the massive amount of gold they are guarding, they find that they will never again be allowed to return to the surface for fear that they may reveal the secret of the treasure to the world on the surface.

Using a disguise, Monty pretends to be the captain and is almost successful but it all falls to pieces due to Monty’s biggest weakness, visually stinky cheese.

Once discovered for their ruse, the Rangers are forced to walk the plank and become the latest meal for Billy the Squid (another one of those puns for you). Luckily they all escape, due one more time to Gadget’s ingenuity. She devises a plan to raise the entire ship to the surface by dumping the gold that’s weighing it down.

One short talk later, the pi-rats are convinced that they have become prisoners of their own mythology and take the newly raised ship on new adventures of their own, while the gang goes back home.

The series is particularly good in its ability to showcase the problem solving ability of teamwork and because of the character Gadget, the genius and only female member of the team who more often than not saves the day with brain power. The characters and situations of this series make it a gem that stands out above most other cartoons from the same era. 

A few years back, when Sony was still gearing up for the reboot of the “Spider-Man” franchise, many fans were asking the question, “What does this reboot have to offer other than a rehashing of what we’ve seen before?” It’s a valid question, one that any reboot needs to answer. Ultimately that question was answered in darker visual tones and themes, fantastic acrobatics, and a talented leading couple. Whether you’ve been satisfied with that answer or not is moot at this point, it’s what we’ve got, but before Andrew Garfield put on the tights there was some debate about who the web slinging hero should be.

An io9 article titled “The last thing Spider-Man should be is another white guy” sparked a flurry of comments regarding casting an actor who wasn’t white, some reasoned and articulate, some… not. In the midst of the digital clash a name floated to the top, Donald Glover (“Community”).

Glover later saw the comment and apparently thought, yeah- why not me? He’s a fan of the character and the franchise and a talented actor. I have no problems at all imagining him playing Peter Parker, he’s got the personality to pull it off and there is no race underneath tights, and Glover seems to agree.

“That’s the great part about the Spider-Man costume: He can be anybody,” Glover says. “Spider-Man could be a girl. Spider-Man could be an old man. You don’t know.”

Glover took to the Twitterverse to make it happen with the hashtag Donald4Spiderman.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. Garfield was selected and the franchise moved forward without Glover. It seemed as though his wall crawling dreams had been dashed… until now.

The unsuccessful Twitter campaign may have failed to cement Glover in the live action role but it did plant some seeds and help fertilize others. The idea of launching a black Spider-Man was first discussed within the halls of Marvel a few months prior to the 2008 election. The nation was on the brink of electing its first black President and the powers within the studio thought it might be a good time to rethink some of their most popular characters. The idea lay dormant until writer Brian Michael Bendis saw Glover donning Spider-Man pajamas on an episode of Community, a nod to his attempt at the Spider-Man throne. These two events combined and resulted in the creation of the character Miles Morales.

Reports have dropped this morning that Glover is voicing the character he helped to inspire on the upcoming series “Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors” on Disney XD. The series will see Peter Parker travelling to alternate dimensions chasing the Green Goblin, there he’ll encounter Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of that world.

While it’s not quite the same as a live action adaptation, and Glover won’t get to wear the tights (except maybe in his living room) it does fulfill a dream of his to portray the character he’s loved since childhood, and it gives us a chance to see how he would do.

“I don’t think it’s hit me necessarily yet how big of a deal that is, I’m very grateful for that, and it’s cool to read the comic now.”

And who knows, maybe this will pave the way for the character to hit the big screen in the future.

“I still have hopes to do something like that one day. I don’t look at this as second place. Spider-Man, he’s such an icon — you have to do something with him.”

 I’d put my money down to see that.

“Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors” premieres this Saturday on Disney XD. 

When Disney bought Lucasfilm I think we all knew that crossover material was coming, we’ve already seen exactly that with Marvel properties. I distinctly remember the internet collectively curling up in the fetal position in some sort of pop culture induced panic attack over what would assuredly be terrible collaborations, an affront to everything we hold dear.

The good news is that Disney doesn’t seem to be completely incompetent. They are aware of the franchises they own and how best to put them together. It would be foolish and inaccurate to say that everything Disney does is wonderful, but it would be equally foolish and inaccurate to say that everything they do is bad. In fact, quite the opposite is true, there are some real gems hidden in the Disney catalogue.

Things like “Phineas and Ferb,” which I love with unabashed fervor. A year ago Disney gave us a P&F/Marvel crossover which, like all things “Phineas and Ferb,” didn’t suck at all. That’s why when Disney announced a similar crossover with the boys in the “Star Wars” universe all fears were quelled. I hope at this point we can all stop doubting Disney. They know what they’re doing, at least for the time being.

The “Star Wars” episode takes place in an alternate universe (thank glob for the multiverse, amirite?) wherein the characters of P&F live alongside the characters of “Star Wars.” In fact, they live just one moisture farm away from Luke. Unlike other “Star Wars” parodies (Family Guy and Robot Chicken) we won’t see the characters of Wars replaced by the characters of the cartoon; instead they live together in a new cohesive story.

“Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars” will premier July 26, 2014 on Disney and again on August 4, 2014 on Disney XD along with an extended look at Disney’s upcoming “Star Wars” series “Star Wars: Rebels.”

Oh ya, did I mention that Simon Pegg is voicing C3PO?

May the Ferb be with you.  

PLANES: FIRE AND RESCUE (6 out of 10) – Directed by Bobs Gannaway; Starring Dane Cook, Ed Harris, Julie Bowen, Curtis Armstrong, John Michael Higgins, Hal Holbrook, Wes Studi, Brad Garrett, Teri Hatcher, Stacy Keach, Cedric the Entertainer, Danny Mann, Barry Corbin, Regina King, Anne Meara, Jerry Stiller, Fred Willard, Captain Dale Dye, Kevin Michael Richardson, Patrick Warburton, Rene Aberjonois, Erik Estrada; Rated PG for “action and some peril.” In wide release July 18, 2014: 83 minutes.

It’s hard to dislike a movie that looks really gorgeous and has some nice undertones about heroism and the importance of nature conservation. But somehow “Planes: Fire and Rescue” manages to do just that with a paint-by-numbers plot and lead character completely devoid of charisma. That being said, it is a great improvement over both of its series predecessors, last year’s “Planes” and 2011’s “Cars 2.” 

The plot is fairly straightforward: our protagonist from the first film, Dusty, has become the famous champion racing plane he always knew he could be. However, he’s developed a problem with his engine where pushing his throttle too hard will cause him to stall– and the parts to fix him are out of production. (If there is a more apt metaphor for the problems with this film, I haven’t found it.) Until they can be replaced, he has no future in racing, sending him into an emotional . . .ahhem. . .tailspin, making him recklessly try to push himself too hard.

After one of these accidents causes a fire at his local airstrip, the feds tell them if they don’t get another certified fire vehicle on staff, they’ll shut them down. This puts their annual corn festival in peril, a major tourist destination now that Dusty is world famous. Oh noez! Not the corn festival! (It actually is kind of endearing, if not a little. . .errr. . . corny.)

So Dusty decides to go get trained by Blade Ranger (Ed Harris) in Piston Peak National Park while waiting for his replacement parts to be found. There he meets a plucky gang of fire-fighting “Smoke Jumpers” and has to learn the skills to be certified. The plot proceeds exactly as you’d expect it to. 

All that being said, the film’s target audience is likely not going to be as picky about the plot being formulaic and predictable and will enjoy themselves greatly. Looking for a place to let the kids escape the summer heat for an hour and a half? This movie’s got you covered. And they’ll have a great time.

And there is a lot that this movie gets right. First off, it’s gorgeous. There are several shots of Midwestern sunsets that are spectacular. Even better is the scenery in the fictional Piston Peak National Park, which seems to be an amalgam of all of the best parts of Yellowstone and Yosemite combined. The scenes where they are fighting fires, especially in the film’s climax at night, are just beyond stunning.

There is also a firefighting montage set to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” And they play the. whole. song. I can’t not like a movie that does that, especially when they do it extremely well. The action sequences like those are what makes this film worth watching. 

The supporting cast is also amazing. Ed Harris carries this movie, in much the same way that Paul Newman offered a mentorship role in the first “Cars” film. And just like in that film, he has a tragic backstory of how he ended up where he is. 

The rest of the supporting cast are great, too. John Michael Higgins brings a giant amount of smarm as the new park superintendent more intent on tourism than conservation, funneling resources from the fire services to his pet projects.

Just look at that guy. You know what he’s all about. And then Fred Willard shows up as the Secretary of the Interior in the third act which helps add some extra gravitas.

The rest of the team of smokejumpers are also incredibly fun. Veteran character/voice actor Curtis Armstrong basically reprises his role from the [adult swim] cartoon “Stroker and Hoop” as the team’s mechanic, and Julie Bowen and Wes Studi round out the main planes in he group. Oh, and did I mention Julie Bowen’s plane has a crush on Dane Cook’s? This brings about several of the more fun moments of the film.

And then Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara show up as vacationing tourists on their 50th anniversary and almost steal the whole movie in one scene. Adorable. Patrick Warburton also shows up far too late in the film as another fire truck “Pulaski” and is completely underutilized.

At 83 minutes, it’s also the perfect length. There isn’t too much filler here and it moves along at a decent clip.

And finally, something I really appreciated were some subtle, some other not-so-subtle messages about conservation and nature. The general conflict between the smarmy superintendent completely focused on making money off of tourists versus the park rangers and other staff who want to protect the park and its natural beauty was clear.

There were also some shout outs to the history of our national parks as well: the train who services the park is named “Muir,” an obvious reference to naturalist John Muir, who fought to preserve Yosemite and other wild places by putting them aside as national parks. (Side note: this is the second shout-out to Muir in as many weeks in Hollywood, as the apes in “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” live in Muir Woods outside San Francisco, also a place he helped protect and preserve.) Most of this will go over kids’ heads, but this was a welcome undercurrent in this film.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot weighing this movie down. Dane Cook is a black hole of charisma in this film, which I totally do not understand. He’s a great stand-up comedian, and he’s shown himself to be capable on screen in films like “Dan in Real Life.” But, just as in the previous Planes movie, he’s just not interesting and I can’t really care about his journey, especially when he’s an annoying, entitled little jerk of a plane who doesn’t listen to the voice of experience (Ed Harris) and almost gets himself and others killed because of it. When I asked my 9 year old daughter what the moral of the movie was, she said it was about the importance of breaking the rules. Ummmmmm. . . not good messaging.

Also, there’s the aforementioned lazy and uninspired plotting. Most of the script feels this way, right down to the inclusion of several off-color jokes. Why do kids’ movies have to include obligatory fart and poo jokes?

But this script takes it a step further, with the inclusion of not one, but two boob jokes. The planes and cars are hanging out at a roadhouse location called “Hooders” where the O’s in the name are made up of very round, very enlarged headlights. In the second boob joke, Julie Bowen’s plane tries to put her wing around Dane Cook, lowering a pontoon to squeeze him in closer. “Yes, they’re real,” she remarks. Ummmm, excuse me?

It’s not that these jokes are off color, it’s that they’re lazy and cheap and will go over their target audience’s head. More importantly, they’re just not funny. So, why include a boob joke for the amusement of the adults in the audience? Especially ones as unfunny as that? I’m not offended by the content, I’m offended at the cheapness. 

Also, while I appreciated the references to a certain 80’s tv show, the kiddos will not. I’m not sure if that’s an overall net positive or negative.

But overall, “Planes:Fire and Rescue” is not a bad movie. It’s just not a great movie. And for a studio whose recent animated films include “Frozen” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” I have to expect more from them than just a cynical cash grab of a sequel. But, considering the improvement in quality from last year’s “Planes” and how gorgeous this animation is, I have to give them some credit. Too bad even this supporting cast can’t rescue it from a lackluster script and boring lead. But your kids probably won’t mind. And it is the best release by any major studio this week, though that’s not saying much when comparing it to “The Purge” and “Sex Tape.”

6 out of 10. 

Disney is currently in development on a live action adaptation of “Dumbo” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Disney has seen some success in live action adaptations with “Alice in Wonderland” and “Maleficent” and there is no indication that train is slowing down.

Adaptations of “Cinderella” and “The Jungle Book” are also in development alongside the flappy eared pachyderm project. The script is being penned by Ehren Kruger, best known for writing several of the “Transformers” movies which obviously makes him the perfect man for the job, because the only explanation for a flying elephant in a live action setting is if that elephant transforms into a giant trunked jet fighter with a feather in its cockpit.

Let’s get down to brass tacks though, what’s really important to the fans, is that the writers remain faithful to the source material and luckily a live action Dumbo project has already been completed.

What could possibly go wrong?

On second thought, this could be perfect. If there is one thing the Transformers movies are known for it’s being pretty, and having latent racism, both of which are central to a solid retelling of Dumbo. However, since it’s no longer in vogue to hate black people, we could replace Jim Crow and his entourage with a middle-eastern animal, maybe a handful of Jackals led by Jachmed. I don’t know, we should probably workshop it a little more.

The movie will include a family story alongside the story you know, because they need to figure out a way to turn an hour long animated movie into a three hour blockbuster, and what about sequels?

Now here’s the part that’s too good to be true, Dumbo’s Circus is coming to visit you!

That is the look of abject shame.

With a nod of the hat toward past editions of “Saturday Morning Cartoon!” by Neverbot AKA Cassidy Ward, I’ve chosen to go back to the beloved ducks of Disney with “Darkwing Duck”. Cassidy was covering Fantasy Con in Salt Lake City for Big Shiny Robot so I told him I’d go over one of my favorite cartoons from the 90’s.

Neverbot was fully aware of the character of Darkwing Duck from “Duck Tales”. He covered the pilot to “Duck Tales” in a previous “Saturday Morning Cartoon!” you can find here. Well, as we were talking, I said I’d like to talk about the daffy do-gooder because on the “Darkwing Duck” he’d also team up with Launchpad and everyone’s favorite super-hero Iron Duck, Gizmo-duck. Neverbot got a little schooling in the cartoon that got three seasons and a really fun video game. I found the first episode on Youtube and dove in with glee. Re-watching it nearly 20 years later was a fun and nostalgic time. So, with my youth in mind, let’s get to the episode titled “Darkly Dawns the Duck” before I get even older.

The episode starts in the city of St. Canard where Darkwing Duck, the struggling hero, is dropping off a bad guy at the local police station. He is a great hero but he can’t catch the media break he is wanting. This hero has some vanity issues but that’s what makes him so much fun. His alter ego, we will later find out, is Drake Mallard, but not quite yet we won’t.

When he makes his way back to his secret base we find that he tests out his ninja skills while making breakfast. The cartoon is certainly slapstick comedy, but it’s also a bit of the good ol’ silly humor as well because Darkwing Duck wears his mask to bed! As he drifts off to sleep, Darkwing Duck just wants a super-villain he can test his mettle against. 

Queue the big ugly bad guy who is an enormous cartoon bull. His name is Taurus Bulba. Taurus is already in prison but he runs the crime in the city like the Kingpin from Marvel Comics. The bull sends his minions out on a mission and before the warden can get wise to what’s going on, the crime bosses’ elaborate board room turns into a prison cell.

That’s where Darkwing duck comes in as he is foiling a robbery that previous minion is committing. The henchmen are trying to steal some military weaponry and Darkwing Duck aims to stop them. More slapstick ensues with Looney Toons kind of bodily damage. After nearly foiling the robbery, Darkwing Duck meets Launchpad McQuack who just so happens to be a pilot. Launchpad is a huge fan and becomes DW’s defacto sidekick. Launchpad also coins the nickname DW, which will stick for the remainder of the series.

The two aren’t able to quite save the day but they manage to stop the plot long enough for the weapons inventor to end up dying before giving up the secret code that makes the weapon work. That professor has a granddaughter named Gosalyn though, and DW saves her just in the nick of time.

The rest of the episode is worth your time because Darkwing and Gosalyn grow close together. After all, the little duckling is now an orphan and Drake Mallard could use a tech smart sidekick in addition to his goofy and accident prone pilot Launchpad.

What’s more, there is some wonderful voice talent behind the pilot episode and the series as a whole. Jim Cummings voices Darkwing Duck but he’s also been known for work on Winnie the Pooh, and as the Tasmanian Devil. Launchpad is voiced by legendary actor Terry McGovern and the star that steals the show is the voice of the evil Taurus by Tim Curry.

The show is reminiscent of “Duck Tales”, it has episodes with Launchpad and Gizmoduck and it’s the duck version of The Batman combined with a bit of Daredevil for good measure. It’s a laugh riot for the young and a trip down memory lane for the older crowd. It’s perfect for any Saturday morning be it 20 years ago or next week. 

For more nostalgic looks at cartoons from the past, check out last week’s “Saturday Morning Cartoon!” right here. If you have a suggestion for a future cartoon, let Neverbot know on Twitter @CassidyWard.

What happens when some of Disney’s most iconic animated characters have children? The result is “Descendants,” an upcoming  Disney Channel original movie.

The synopsis: “A present-day idyllic kingdom where the benevolent teenage son of King Beast and Queen Belle offers a chance at redemption for the troublemaking offspring” of some of Disney’s most notorious villains.

My first reaction to this is: they’re calling him King Beast?  I’ve never belonged to the camp that insists upon calling him Prince Adam (which makes me think of “He-Man,”) but I certainly hope they’re not going to call him King Beast in the film.

“Descendants” is directed by Kenny Ortega (“Newsies,” “Hocus Pocus,” “High School Musical”). With those film credits and the original Glinda from Broadway’s “Wicked” Kristen Chenoworth as Maleficent, will there be singing and dancing? This isn’t being marketed as a musical, but I wouldn’t be surprised by at least a finale number.

Here’s a first look at Chenoweth as Maleficent: 

 “In the photo at hand, Maleficent is scolding her daughter Mal (Cameron) for not reaching her evil potential, while the Evil Queen’s daughter Evie (Sofia Carson), Cruella de Vil’s son Carlos (Cameron Boyce), and Jafar’s son Jay (Booboo Stewart) look on.”

Is it just me, or does her costume remind you of Rita Repulsa from “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?” I don’t think I’m imagining the similarities, from the shape of the dress up to the horns on her head. Of course, there’s the nod to the original animated Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty,” but I really see more of Rita in it.

And the photo of the villains’ kids? I don’t even know where to begin. One can certainly see Cruella’s son inherited her fashion sense and white hair.  And where are their other parents? Unless they were born from midichlorians, they have to have another parent somewhere, right? 

Honestly, I think there’s enough potential material for a series as opposed to a movie. We see the villains’ children here, but there’s also the son of Belle and the Beast and other “good” children. All of the descendants will have to learn to get along as they attend school together. It could be a lot of fun to watch or ridiculously cheesy. Or both. 

 We’ll have to wait a bit, though, since “Descendents” is scheduled to premiere on the Disney Channel in 2015. 

This week on Saturday Morning Cartoon! we’re watching “Phineas and Ferb.”  For years I avoided this show. It simply held no interest for me. Then I acquired a small human child and lost control of almost all of the screens in my house. At this point I’ve become a virtual expert on the summertime exploits of the titular characters.

In a nutshell, the show documents the adventures of two young boys and their attempt to not waste a single moment of their 104 day vacation. As a result, each day they hatch a new plan or adventure which is usually launched by the phrase “Ferb, I know what we’re going to do today.”

With their small group of friends at their sides, the boys build giant rollercoasters, open restaurants, and return lost aliens to their parents in space, all before dinner time and without raising the suspicions of their parents. Which brings us to their older sister, Candace, who’s made it her life goal ensure the boys are busted.

Her summer consists of constantly dragging her mother around in a futile attempt to reveal her brothers’ covert activities, without success. The consistency of the disappearing oddities begins to drive Candace insane, as the theme song suggests.

Oh ya, I can’t forget, not only do these kids have a pet platypus named Perry, but he’s also a secret agent working for an equally secret agency tasked with bringing down the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

All of which begs the question, what exactly is going on here? Either we’re dealing with a town full of arguably the most negligent parents since “Rugrats” or things aren’t actually as they seem. I have a few hypotheses.

Are the boys actually legitimate geniuses? Should we be glad they use their powers for simple entertainment rather than world domination?

Is the show the sad delusions of Candace? Tortured by a previous caper she was unable to expose to her parents Candace cracked and now lives in an endless loop of increasingly impossible schemes that she’ll never expose.

Is Phineas having the world’s best coma dream? An endless summer wherein he is granted a sentient marsupial and seemingly omnipotent abilities? It would explain why despite there being only 104 days of summer vacation, there are 207 episodes.

Or maybe it’s just a cartoon and I’m thinking too much about it? But…. I like my ideas better.

Cheers. 

“Pepper Ann” was created by Sue Rose, aired on ABC from 1997 – 2000. It had five seasons totallying 65 episodes. The character of Pepper Ann originated in a comic strip published by YM Magazine.

The intro sequence introduces us to Pepper Ann and gives us a few important bits of information, namely that Pepper Ann is way too cool for seventh grade and also that she’s one in a MILLION! The sequence ends with PA attempting to sneak into class late and hiding under her desk, in each episode she find something different there, similar to the famous couch gag created by The Simpsons.

Each episode centers around the titular Pepper Ann and her two best friends, Milo and Nicki. There is also a moderate supporting cast that come and go as needed.

The episodes are generally broken up into two separate stories each spanning about ten minutes, each half episode will usually introduce a conflict that Pepper Ann must overcome, or in some cases, fail to overcome, resulting in her suffering the consequences and learning a valuable lesson. Reality will step aside for Pepper Ann’s fantasies intermittently providing insight into the way this pre-teen girl views the world.

Today I watched the episode titled The Usual Suspects. This is the second half of season one, episode 12. Pepper Ann’s fantasies manifest noir mystery flashes, the episode parodies detective stories like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and of course, “The Usual Suspects.”

Note: About 30 seconds in a kid with perpetual pink eye pulls his oozing socket off of a microscope. I almost threw up my fruity pebbles.

An announcement is made over the school’s intercom system. Principal Hickey calls Pepper Ann, Nicki, Milo, Trinket, and Dieter to his office where he begins interrogating them one by one about the theft of the school’s prized otter statue.

As the Principal interviews the kids individually, everyone one of them implicates PA, even Nicki and Milo, whether they meant to or not.

Just as he’s about to bring the hammer down on PA, his assistant walks in to tell him that she has returned the statue from being cleaned, like he asked.

Hickey apologizes in tears, and Pepper Ann learns that the truth will set you free, as long as you’re innocent.

I’m not sure what it is, but something about this show just appeals to me. I enjoyed it as a kid and have re-watched the series in the last few years, after this morning I’m considering watching it again. Unfortunately, it seems that YouTube has taken down most of the episodes. You can find a box set here for $61.99 and of course, you can watch today’s episode right now.

This week Disney has been slowly giving us a look at “Big Hero 6” and today we got a full trailer.

A while back a sneak peek was released that shows the setting for the film which you can see below.

I’m definitely interested in this movie, it seems like it’s going to be gorgeous and very detailed. Also, try and spot the “Wreck-it Ralph” easter egg in the second clip.
