This probably isn’t something I’ll explore too deeply in my paper but there is a lot of Japanese influence on animated films like in Big Hero 6 — but for American viewing, things like this are toned down from how it was in the comics. Apparently in the comics, they had the usual fan serviced type of anime style meaning women with huge (unrealistic) breasts and the crazy hairdos that tend to mark Japanese anime. I think there’s a lot more influence from Southeast Asian cultures in Western culture than we realize.
