Disney's latest animated adventure, "Big Hero 6," is getting praise for putting diversity on the forefront of the big screen.

The big-budget film opens in theaters on Nov. 7 but people are already buzzing about the stereotypes broken down in the movie.

The Marvel Comics-inspired movie centers on a character of the same name and is directed by Chris Williams and Don Hall. The utopian setting of San Fransokyo, a futuristic combination of San Francisco and Tokyo, is the backdrop of the adventure by protagonist Hiro Hamada and his robotic friend Baymax.

"This [film] gave us a perfect opportunity to create a diverse cast," Hall said to BuzzFeed News. "When you look outside your window, you go to any city anywhere in America -- the world for that matter -- and it's a diverse world. Our films should reflect that. So very early on, we decided that we were going to have a lot of diversity in this film, and the main characters were going to be a mash-up as well because this is a mash-up of Disney and Marvel. It's a mash-up of Eastern and Western culture."

Hamada is a smart, biracial (Japanese and white) student who uses his intelligence outside the classroom. He enjoys outsmarting neighborhood bullies and taking part in an illegal robot-fighting ring.

His friends show the depth of the cast's diversity.

"One of the things that I am proud of is the fact that we do have this very diverse cast. In one sense, we don't make a big deal out of it. The characters are certainly not defined in any way by their race and I'm very proud of that," Williams said. "Ryan Potter, who voices Hiro, at one point, he said to us that what he loves about the film is that everybody's gonna see themselves up there. I'm really proud of that."

Hamada's clique includes Wasabi, played by Damon Wayans Jr., Jamie Chung's Go Go Tomago and Honey Lemon, voiced by Genesis Rodriguez. The inclusion of characters of color and strong female roles was something that drew these actors to the project.

"I love that they represented Go Go as one of the stronger characters," Chung said in a BuzzFeed News interview. "And I love that the cast is multicultural. Growing up in San Francisco, I'm quite used to the diversity and very grateful for it, and glad that [the filmmakers] represented this city in its entirety."
