** The script simply described Baymax's fist bumping as him doing a robot sound equivalent of an explosion, and Creator/ScottAdsit came up with "Bata-lata-lata-la." The creators initially believed ItWillNeverCatchOn, but then they hilarious and tried to insert Baymax fist bumps at every opportunity as a RunningGag. In fact, Hiro fist-bumping the remains of Baymax's rocket fist was not in the initial cut of the film; story lead John Ripa suggested it upon watching an early screening.

* PlayingAgainstType: Baymax is voiced by Scott Adsit -- who previously played a [[Series/ThirtyRock put-upon TV producer with a bad family life]], and [[WesternAnimation/MoralOrel a hateful, abusive, alcoholic father]]. Baymax is as far away from those roles as you can get.

* ApprovalOfGod: Chris Atkeson, a professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, was part of the team of engineers that developed the “soft robotics” prototype that was the basis of Baymax’s design.

* ExiledFromContinuity: When adapting ''Big Hero 6'' from an obscure Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} comic to a Creator/{{Disney}} animated movie, both Disney and Marvel mutually agreed to divorce ''Big Hero 6'' from the Franchise/MarvelUniverse entirely. Not only does the movie not reference any Marvel elements outside of a Creator/StanLee cameo during the credits, but Marvel exiled the team from the comics as well, to the point where Marvel has stated they'll never reprint the old comics, much to the dismay of fans of the source material who also like the film. The team's last appearance in Marvel continuity was in 2012, when they appeared in the ''Spider-Man'' storyline ''ComicBook/EndsOfTheEarth''. Whether the characters of Sunfire and Silver Samurai are exempt from this is yet to be seen, as they were excluded from the movie due to being ''X-Men'' characters, which Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox (which wouldn't be brought by Disney for another few years) had exclusive film rights to.

** T. J. Miller improvised most of Fred's lines, which makes the "Fred's Angels" song even funnier in retrospect. This means a lot of the other characters' reactions were also improvised, like Wasabi saying, "Fred, I will lazer-hand you in the face!"
** A lot of Maya Rudolph's facial expressions were copied for Cass, especially the faces she makes when talking about her extra-spicy hot wings.

** Early concept art showed that Yokai had his own team of supervillains (including Mr. Yama and his goons). He also would eventually be consumed by microbots, which would take on his shape and act as the real villain.
** Originally, [=GoGo=] was a very cynical character: She disliked Honey Lemon because she thought her fashions were due to boys, attention-seeking and did not approve of Hiro ordering her what to do when they formed Big Hero 6 because she always wanted to be number 1.
** The 2013 Rotoscopers video and early information regarding the plot depicted Hiro with a slightly different backstory: He was already attending classes with Tadashi and could not fit in with the other students due to his intelligence (though he doesn't seem to mind). The Rotoscopers video also depicted Hiro as part of a "science club research team" lead by Tadashi (most likely consisting of Honey, [=GoGo=], Wasabi, Fred) in which each individual would make different things and would eventually lead up to a competition. Like [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], Hiro felt pressure over using his intelligence for good or just building battle robots in the basement (garage in the final film). Also, in early stages of the story, Hiro was responsible for the creation of Baymax, as opposed to Tadashi, just like in the comic book. And the early plans for Wasabi was to make him the quiet, strict character with talent for being a sushi chef like in the comics. Cass was also originally planned to be Hiro and Tadashi's mother rather than their aunt.
** Mr. Sparkles, the Bonsai Bombers, and the Fujitas were villains set to be in film, but were scrapped. A redesigned Mr. Sparkles appeared in [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries TV series continuation]] (his original design can be seen in the film on [[https://bighero6.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sparkles_concept.jpg a poster in Hiro's room]]) and the hostess at the robot fighting match in the opening [[DevelopmentGag does resemble one of the sisters]].

** Creator/ManOfActionStudios actually wanted to revisit the characters with a cartoon, similarly to what they had recently did with ''M. Rex'' (which became ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''). However, this is when they learned that {{Creator/Disney}} was already in development with a feature film. Man of Action had no creative involvement with either the film or the animated series that followed.
** Baymax originally looked [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/87/ed/73/87ed7362d17a21084a6f71e50f19fe16--kevin-dart-kevin-oleary.jpg a LOT different]]. In fact, [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ff/cc/f6/ffccf6eb8a5e97e4080d5d5b12170057.jpg more concept art]] shows he was originally going to look identical to [[Anime/{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin 28]] (on the upper-left).
