Disney Animation studio's latest, "Big Hero 6" continues to garner news ahead of its November 7th theatrical release. For international film buffs, it's of note that "Big Hero 6" will open the 27th annual Tokyo International Film Festival, a festival that's promised to focus primarily on animation this year. Also, some fans of the original Marvel comic that the film is based on are wondering what Disney is doing to their beloved Honey Lemon character.

According to the official Tokyo International Film Festival website, "Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) is pleased to announce that Disney's latest animated film, "Big Hero 6," has been selected as the opening film for the 27th TIFF." They go on to quote the directors of the film, Don Hall and Chris Williams, who state, "The setting of our film, San Fransokyo, is a fictional, futuristic mash-up of two of our favorite cities in the world - San Francisco and Tokyo and the research we did in Tokyo informed every detail of the film." 

Critics lucky enough to attend the film festival will surely have reviews for fans to consider before the film gets its theatrical release stateside. But some comic book fans are already unhappy with some of the content that has been released, particularly, the changes to the character of Honey Lemon.

Moviepilot reports, "the more I see of Honey Lemon, the less impressed I am." They explain further: "Her hair is still blonde (although it seems to have become a little more reddish in certain shots), and she's still a girl, but this goofy girl bears little resemblance to the confident and sexy woman we know and love. It's not just one shot, either. It seems that (except when in her superhero costume, and I'll get to that) she is the epitome of doofus."

But it may not necessarily be a bad thing for other fans. In fact, as The Motley Fool points out, "Although 'Big Hero 6' originated in a Marvel comic book written by two of the four founders of Man of Action Entertainment -- Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau -- for Disney (NYSE:DIS) this isn't another Marvel movie."

Until the film hits theaters stateside, it looks like fans worried about the adaptation will have to rely on early reviews from the film's world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 23rd.
