15 Mind-Blowing Disney Movie Facts
8. Baymax's Inspiration
Baymax's movement in Big Hero 6 is a huge part of his charm: he's almost infantile in the way he walks (and the "drunk" scene in particular is glorious). And it should come as no surprise that his inspiration came from one of the cutest corners of the animal kingdom.
The big white robot's movements are modelled on those of baby penguins.
He wasn't the only character to be based on an animal: Beast from Beauty And The Beast was an amalgam of animal parts, including the head and horns of a buffalo, the arms and body of a bear, the eyebrows of a gorilla, the jaws, teeth, and mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar and the legs and tail of a wolf.
