arrives into theaters tomorrow, November 7, so what better way to spend

-eve with a new official installment of ‘Fun Facts’ direct from Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios? Below is the list of fresh fun facts, some of which you may know already, but hopefully we’ll all learn something new. So read on!

SLAM DUNK — Baymax is 6 feet tall and 75 pounds — until Hiro mechs him out. Baymax, in his super suit, is more than 7 feet tall and can lift 1000 pounds. ‘He’s all air,’ says head of

GO AHEAD – Artists looked at actors like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper and other cowboys to study cool, emotionally reserved traits while developing GoGo Tomago’s look and personality.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BLINK — Baymax sports a standard nine-frame-blink, says head of animation Zach Parrish. ‘We play with the speed of his blink throughout the film, but for the most part, it’s a standard blink. It’s the amount of time we give the audience to think before he blinks that says a lot — the longer it is, the more time he’s processing. A double blink shows confusion. We used that a few times in the film. That could be an acting choice for a human character, too.’

NEED FOR SPEED — Artists looked at speed skaters to inform the body type and movement for GoGo Tomago, a passionate student of speed.

DUUUUUUDE — Artists studied snowboarders, skateboarders and surfers to develop movement and posture for Fred.

CHILL OUT — Wasabi, at one time, was a very Zen character with very Zen dreadlocks. When filmmakers tweaked his personality, they initially decided the neatnik wouldn’t be a fan of the not-oft-shampooed-do and gave him a haircut. The look didn’t last. It turns out, everyone was just too attached to his cool locks.

LOOSE TOOTH — To ensure Hiro’s charming gap-toothed grin stayed intact from any angle, controls were added to his teeth so animators could make adjustments as needed.

ROBOT LOVE — Ryan Potter, who voices Hiro in

was obsessed with building robots as a kid. ‘I was 9 or 10 when I got a robotics kit,’ he says. ‘I absolutely love science.’

MORE ROBOT LOVE — Genesis Rodriguez, who lends her voice to Honey Lemon in

, was on her school’s robotics team. ‘I was a welder,’ she says. ‘So I made sure my [welds] were just perfect and very aesthetically pleasing as well. People didn’t expect us to be so good. That was the beauty of it. We were just this bright group of girls who had an idea, executed it and beat the guys.’

SMART GUY — James Cromwell, who lends his voice to Professor Robert Callaghan, studied at Carnegie Mellon University (then called Carnegie Tech).

filmmakers spent time at the school, learning all about the innovative field of soft robotics, which ultimately inspired Baymax, a huggable vinyl robot that takes care of people.

FULL CIRCLE — As a child, Damon Wayans Jr., who provides the voice of Wasabi, wanted to be an animator when he grew up. He even studied animation after graduating high school before he decided to pursue acting.

animation team topped 100 members (103 to be exact). That’s about 15 more animators than 2013’s feature film

MARTIAL ARTISTS — Filmmakers selected karate to broaden Baymax’s skillset — but animators had to adjust some of the movements to work for the voluminous character’s build. A few members of the team visited a nearby martial arts studio to get a feel for the practice. Pros were asked to attempt some of the moves while on their knees to simulate Baymax’s signature proportions.

I CAN FLY — Filmmakers consulted with flight specialist Jason McKinley, who worked on both

to choreograph and execute the flight sequences with Baymax and Hiro.

670’S A CROWD — Walt Disney Animation Studios’ proprietary system Denizen allowed filmmakers to create bigger, more believable crowds for

. Around 670 unique characters were created, compared to 270 in

. Each of the 670 characters has up to 32 different clothing look combinations, plus 32 different hair and skin tones. That means, filmmakers could invite 686,080 unique characters to the San Fransokyo party before there were any exact repeats. Denizen was made available to everyone at Walt Disney Animation Studios and employees

were encouraged to model themselves in the system to join the crowd. More than 200 characters were created, and employees will see themselves upon the big screen walking among the

COUNT ON IT — The ‘Port of San Fransokyo’ scene has over 6000 people in it. 23 districts were built in 3D. 83,149 lots of the 150,000 in all of San Francisco were built. 18.8 million building parts. 215,000 streetlights. 260,000 trees.
