After all finished directing of the the film Big Hero 6. In recent four years. Now both the co- directors Don Hall and Chris Williams had suggestion for a sequel of the film. They discussed with John Lasseter that "what they want in the sequel of the film" means every superhero movie has a sequel like Avenger, Superman, Spider Man or anyone else. John himself concludes that actually Big Hero 6 has a another adventurous sequel because the people and also we love these characters especially the children. So thats mean. The directors wants something more excited, adventurous and comedic film that audience love to see first time only. The writer for the first film, Jordan Roberts has a view to make a film's sequel on a monster world adventure but the idea was flopped where on the other hand, co-writer Daniel Gerson has another idea for a robotic attack where the team saves the city from the evil robot army. This was little liked by the others but, Chris Williams said , "Why always evils attack on the city and superheroes saved the city making them as popular means it was still coming from the histories, actually the viewers are wanting expecting the new especially the kids so we have to think a different story that will full of fun, action, comedy and most important thing that turns story's plot a twist like in the first film". Everyone was impressed with Chris's view.
The co-director Don has a another view to make a film a musical because in recent years no musical film was released or made by Disney where everyone likes his suggestion. But what about the plot of the film and its genre the first is came out as a musical ,second is a superhero and the third is comedic but whats the genre of the plot. So, finally the directors got what they want to make a space film means an out of this world adventure mission film and the new characters were introduced. They were inspired by Marvel's live-action feature film "Guardians Of The Galaxy" and a fairytale of "Star Trek". But they openly and clearly told that this feature film has a all along a new story. The film is setup on a far away alien galaxy named Sombrero Galaxy and it's fictional planets where the Big Hero 6 team vists to rescue it from evils. According to the directors they were inspired by Andromeda Galaxy to make it.
So finally, On May 21, 2023 Disney announced a sequel for their previous animated feature film Big Hero 6.
Now the time for film's plot development where several complications and confusions occur that how to setup it where anyone else doesn't have an opinion that Barbie would be the part of the film. On the plot discussion the directors, producers and writers present, where John Lassester suggest that Amazon has recently dealt with Disney that in future they both have a collaborative project film where Disney can use its any toy character of a franchise to appear or make a feature film on them. The writers view that they should have to feature Power Rangers team, but was flopped where the producers said all in recent years Disney make the films on the male protagonists now it's a time which turned away female audience. The Co-director Don Hall said, " its right but it changes the genre of the film making it more about the girl where in the first film there was a male protagonist Hiro Hamada and now a female protagonist would lead to change the plot" . On the other hand the Co-director, Chris said "What an idea for making a dual protagonists in the film" where everyone likes his suggestion. Now it's all set but they are confused which female should they feature alongside Hiro Hamada first the producer, Roy Conli suggested the name of Monster High franchise girls but it was aliked by the others because they are all highly fashioned and stylish girls which make a wrong effect on the viwers, than Both Co-directors asked to Kristina Reed, the co-producer for the first film and only female in the rest of the crew team and they think that she is only a female in the whole crew who best suggest the name of female which featured in the film and she has a knowledge about everyone's personalty of the characters likely about Hiro means he is a complex character so which type of female friend could be fit with him. Especially the directors also wants that whatever they chosen the female characters but they want a mixture of Honey Lemon's and GoGo's behaviour in her not like her nor her. Where after hours of thinking and concluding which female toy character is better from Amazon they could feature suddenly, in the studio the television was on it has a commercial of Barbie dolls of Fashion Studio Dolls. She had chosen the female and told the directors and others that it is Barbie because she has her own self image and a prefect place in the girls heart.
Everyone was shocked but John Lassester praises her view. And also the directors also get a little beat shock because never ever in the history of Disney where Barbie would be featured in a Disney film. It is the first time. But they and others also praises her because how no one can like Barbie it's impossible. Kristina has also suggested that she is the only one who is a complex character means how the directors wants a Hiro like female character so she has a perfect personality and a mixture of both Honey Lemon and GoGo's behaviour in her. Actually , she is also very beautiful than Honey Lemon and GoGo. That what they want. On the recent days of developing plot the both directors, executive producer John Lassester, writers and animators visits on the tour of Amazon's Barbie Entertainment where her feature films were made , also for the plot's development and music. They even visited Marvel Studios and Space Theme Parks. So they they can get inspired and how to animate and design her. They also watched her both generation's film classic and modern and music videos. And also decided of her voice where Don Hall said that her original voice actress means American actress Auli'i Cravalho would be voicing her because that was confused the viewers about her voice suggesting that the change. Disney finally announced Barbie as a heroine in their upcoming animated feature film which is a sequel of Big Hero 6 making a final deal with Amazon.
On September 1st, 2023 Disney announced that the production is still under development at Walt Disney Animation Studios. And also announced that its not only their animated feature film But also of Barbie Film Series. Where the first time we are making a film in collaboration. So the film is either be released on the same date where Barbie animated feature film releases. All the crew members from the previous film returned for the sequel where all animators, writers, producersTim Mertens as editor and Henry Jackman for the score of the film , all are same but inspite of making a film musical Disney have Barbie's song writers for writing the original songs. The star cast from the previous film including Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, Jamie Chung, Genesis Rodriguez, T. J. Miller, Damon Wayans. Jr and Maya Rudolph returned to reprises their roles and also new introduced including Auli'i Cravalho as Barbie, Elle Fanning, Jake Gyllenhaal, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Penn Dayton Badgley, James Spader, Dave Bautista and Elizabeth Olsen. But another problem also occurred of singing the songs where the cast of the film were only few have a ability to sing the songs where Damon Wayans. Jr (the voice of Wasabi) has a flounder at singing the songs so the Co-directors have introduced the singing caste for the film it includes Demi Lovato as Barbie, Austin Mahone as Hiro, Rebbeca Marie Gomez as GoGo, Meghan Trainor as Honey Lemon, Charlie Puth as Fred and Jason Derulo as Wasabi. The cast and any of the songs not included Baymax because according to the directors Baymax cannot sing and also he is a machine robot who never has a feelings of human beings. On February 28, 2024 whole production for the film was completed.
