'''The fact that it was based on a comic book is nothing to deem "a turning point for the studio" either. It doesn't add any level of quality to the film, or the studio. It's just the source material. Nothing more than that.'''

The reason Big Hero 6 isn't pictured is the same reason Winnie the Pooh and Wreck-It Ralph aren't pictured. They were all successful (be it critically, financially, or both) but their results or impact weren't anything the studio hasn't seen before numerous times. That doesn't change the fact that they're great films, though. It's not that big of a deal. Yes, comic books are a deal. A comic book is a visual medium of storytelling. Traditional storybooks and original ideas are concieved through imagination. Comic books have visually established character with only one definitive interpretation of them. Disney Animation using new means of source material is a turning point. Why? because they are delving outside of their usual source material. That is innovation, that is a turning point. Failiure to understand this is ignorance.

PS: why the hideous image of Rapunzel? Alex2424121 was complaining about the same thing, and instead of understanding the wider picture, you for some reason decided to stick with a hideous image of one of Disney's most iconic princesses? Let me try to further explain, if I must.

The Princess and the Frog results: The first film greenlit by John Lasster and Ed Catmull after their introduction into the Walt Disney Animation Studios. The beginning of the current wave of Disney animated features. The revival of musicals and fairytales in Disney animated features.

Tangled results: A new style of animation and aesthetics (an artsitic blend of the traditional 2D Disney style and computer animation). A new style of marketing. Most successful film, period, since the Lion King.

Frozen results: First Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for the studio, among numerous other awards and accolades. Immediate pop culture phenomenon. Currently the highest grossing animated film of all time.

See these? These are turning points. Major events that marked or solidified any idea of a new renaissance.

As for Rapunzel, I've only heard acceptance, no complaints, other than from you.
