Enjoy San Fransokyo

In a rare and unusual occasion for a film, I had to explore and discover as much as I could about “Big Hero 6" before seeing the film itself. I had fallen in love with the movie, even before experiencing it in theaters! It’s an inspirational film for many reasons! When researching the making of the movie, I was intrigued by the filmmakers’ decision to create an entirely new city called San Fransokyo, as the setting of the film. I was very impressed to discover how the city was so vast, intricate and alive! I believed that San Fransokyo was a real place worth booking a flight to! It was also satisfying to discover how the ideas of family, friendship and teamwork were going to be an important part of the film. To later see all of that depicted in a diverse and a lovable circle of characters was even more satisfying. For the design challenge, I wanted to create something that really represents the film. So I explored the idea of all of us having special place to go - a place where you can be among friends, family, your squad of heroes. Even when certain friends are not there to give you a hug, but you know that they wish to hug you. A place where you can be “Satisfied with your care." Your own city to, well, …ENJOY!
