Fall Out Boy was tapped to write and perform the song for the
film's sequence in which the "Big Hero 6" team is transformed from
a group of super smart individuals to a band of high-tech heroes.
"The idea of this kid stepping up on behalf of his brother is what
inspired the song's title 'Immortals,'" says Patrick Stump. "Your victories aren't
exclusively yours, so the fact that all of these people are coming
together to help him get to the finish line is really
exciting."
"They're testing out their new super suits for the first time in
the scene," says Pete Wentz. "Some
of it works—some of it doesn't. You get the sense that they're
stepping into a bigger role. The story's in the DNA of Fall Out
Boy. It is an authentic story and it's who our band is—we've always
identified with the underdog."
Jackman used a 77-piece orchestra and created a score that
celebrates the comic-book style action of "Big Hero 6," the
embracing of technology and, of course, the special relationships
that are forming. "It's very important to me in a score like this
when there's a lot of emotional content, as well as heroism and
jeopardy and the rest, to allow the musicians to play together. If
you can put everyone in a room together, it's great. They bounce
off each other. Music is really the emotion of the movie,
beautifully stitching the scenes together," says director
Don Hall. "We wanted a score that
was melodic with prominent themes, while pushing technical
boundaries with electronica music, too. Henry Jackman was able to weave it all together
brilliantly."
From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind "Frozen" and
"Wreck-It-Ralph," comes "Big Hero 6," an action-packed
comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between
Baymax (voice of Scott Adsit), a
plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada (voice of Ryan Potter). When a devastating event befalls
the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of
danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline
junkie Go Go Tomago (voice of
Jamie Chung), neatnik Wasabi (voice
of Damon Wayans Jr.), chemistry whiz
Honey Lemon (voice of Genesis Rodriguez) and fanboy Fred (voice of
T.J. Miller). Determined to uncover
the mystery, Hiro transforms his friends into a band of high-tech
heroes called "Big Hero 6." Inspired by the Marvel comics of the
same name, and featuring breathtaking action with all the heart and
humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Big
Hero 6" is directed by Don Hall
("Winnie the Pooh") and Chris
Williams ("Bolt"), and produced by Roy Conli ("Tangled"). The film hits theaters in
3D on Nov. 7, 2014.
The Big Hero 6 soundtrack is set for release at digital
retail Nov. 4 and on CD Nov. 24, 2014 and is available for pre-order
beginning today. A special bundle featuring a Baymax 7"
vinyl single, the soundtrack CD and poster is now available for
