Technically, these are Marvel characters - Big Hero 6 was a Marvel comic that started in 1998. Disney Animation was told to make a Marvel movie once the acquisition was finalized, and they chose BH6, moving it it from Japan to America and changing everyone from being Japanese to other ethnicities. I wouldn't be surprised if this is also the developers testing the waters to see how Marvel characters are accepted, though Disney does seem to keep most of their brands separate (accept for Disney Animation and Pixar for some reason)
Thanks for this info. At least it helps me understand the "San Fransokyo" location. I agree with the posters who said it doesn't "feel like a Disney movie" since that was of my family's first comments after seeing it. I actually like the movie, though, and I like Baymax, so I'm ok with this addition to the game (not that the interns care one bit about what I think).
