Now we got the whole heroes in!
Chapter 8: The Gang's All Here!
Audience: (cheering)
Animation Universe 2005: (smiles as he waves to the audience) That was a lot of fun, interviewing the gang from Big Hero 6 and let me tell you, it's some of the most fun I've had in a very long time. Hiro, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Go Go, Fred and Baymax are what I can describe as awesome beyond belief. But I've got one more in store...the entire gang! Let's bring them all back here for a group interview and get to know them a little more, shall we?
Audience: (cheering wildly)
Animation Universe 2005: Okay, let's do this! Come on back out, guys!
Audience: (stands up and cheers)
Big Hero 6: (come out, high-fiving and fist bumping the crowds and take selfies with fans as the DJ plays 'Radioactive' from Imagine Dragons and approach the stage, giving Animation Universe 2005 hugs, bro-hugs and fist bumps)
Animation Universe 2005: Good to see you all again.
Hiro: Same here, man.
Wasabi: Happy to be back here.
Animation Universe 2005: Hope you don't mind that I put in another chair for Baymax.
Baymax: Thank you for your consideration. (manuevers over to the chair and sits down)
Animation Universe 2005: You're welcome. So...I interviewed you guys individually and now you're all together. So...tell me what was it like filming the movie?
Honey Lemon: You want to start, Hiro?
Hiro: Um...it's been really awesome doing the movie. I mean, having to film it in San Fransokyo is just nothing short of awesome.
Wasabi: I agree. It's amazing to do this, but I'm still a little traumatized from doing all the crazy stunts.
Go Go: You weren't that traumatized.
Wasabi: Hey, you try being pulled from a rope from behind and see what that feels like. I almost peed my extra pair of underpants when I was being lifted 12 feet from the ground.
Go Go: I don't think I want to have that picture in my head.
Animation Universe 2005: Okay, who does their own stunts in the movie?
Go Go: I do most of my own stunts in the movie because I'm completely into adrenaline rushes. They tried to bring in stuntment to do my stunts and they say that 'girls can't do their own stunts'. When they said that, I almost wanted to punch them in the face. I went over to the directors and asked them if I can do my own stunts and one of them said, 'That's what you're going to do. We don't even know where these extra stuntmen come from and they only came to do Callaghan's stunts.' A few days after that, I did my own stunts and it was awesome.
Animation Universe 2005: Did you get hurt?
Go Go: Not really. Wasn't anything I couldn't handle.
Wasabi: You're a tough girl.
Hiro: Of all of us, Go Go does the most stunts in the movie and Fred does about 85% of the stunts with his costume. When he puts on that constume, you can't stop him. He's just that amazing.
Fred: Oh, yeah. I live for this moment when I do my stunts. When you have fire coming out of the sleeves, you can't describe how awesome it can get. I felt like I was literally living out my comic book dream that feels like I'm in it.
Animation Universe 2005: Do you still read comics?
Fred: Yeah! Who wouldn't?
Animation Universe 2005: Who's more outgoing on the set?
Go Go: Fred is definitely the most outgoing of all of us. Everywhere he goes, he photobombs us, takes mounds of selfies and he's got a lot of hyper energy. Sometimes it's hard for him to contain it.
Fred: Well, hey...you gotta liven up the set when you're filming like 15 hours everyday.
Animation Universe 2005: Aside from you guys, how's Baymax on the set?
Hiro: Super-focused and very helpful. He's completely easier to work with and also easier to talk to when we're not filming. He's the same way as he is in the movie; helpful, loyal and just a great friend.
Audience: Aww...
Go Go: Yeah, it's awesome to have Baymax here. It's like he's the biggest heart and soul of the movie.
Wasabi: Yeah, Baymax is definitely one you can count on when you need him the most.
Baymax: I do my best to keep the positivity of the set going while going through making this movie. It is very important to make sure I check everyone's health and emotional state.
Animation Universe 2005: So, even though you're a big part of the cast, you're like an on-set medic.
Baymax: Yes.
Animation Universe 2005: I think we all need a million Baymaxes like him.
Hiro: Oh, absoultely.
Animation Universe 2005: Does anyone have funny stories about things happening on the set?
Hiro: Tons. We could give you stories.
Honey Lemon: You think we've got time for them?
Animation Universe 2005: We've got plenty of time for them.
Hiro: Okay, it was the second week of shooting when we were filming in Fred's mansion and as we were walking across the big hallway, we saw a doppelganger that looks like Fred coming through the steps with just his briefs and all of us were weirded out, except for Fred.
Fred: Yeah, about that...the doppelganger was a buddy of mine and I had almost forgotten that he was gonna hang around for the night. (chuckles) And I gotta tell you, Go Go did not like him.
Go Go: He was standing in his underwear. Is there any other reason?
Animation Universe 2005: Any other examples?
Hiro: Well...I think I have one, but I don't know if I should say it because it sounds really embarrassing. But...it was while I was in my room on the upstairs of my aunt's cafe where before Baymax came out, I didn't know this, but the scenes where I had been walking kinda numb after Tadashi's death was when I did half of the scenes with my shorts sagging down and half of my underwear was showing.
Wasabi: It was kinda funny too. (Snickers)
Hiro: (sighs) The directors told me that we should do a re-take and I looked at the playback and there I was; with half of my underwear showing. I was so embarrassed by this that I had to wear a belt through the rest of the shoot that day.
Go Go: Wow...
Animation Universe 2005: Anything else?
Honey Lemon: We were hanging on the set, almost getting ready for the action sequences and Fred comes out with this Olaf costume and so, we looked at him and Go Go became a little bit distracted by this costume and when it came for a read-through, Go Go said, 'Stop whining, snowman up' and it had everyone laughing.
Hiro: (snickers)
Wasabi: Snowman up? I guess Go Go wanted to build a snowman that day.
Go Go: (rolls her eyes) First of all, Fred made me lose my focus on what was read and secondly, I don't really care much for snowman.
Fred: But it was funny.
Hiro: Well...not as funny as you coming to the set one day in your pajamas.
Fred: I actually sleep in either my underwear or naked.
Audience: (whooping)
Animation Universe 2005: Settle down, folks.
Fred: It's the truth.
Animation Universe 2005: Okay...I think we'll leave it at that now. Now...we're gonna get to some audience questions.
Next up, the audience questions!
