So what is the secret behind the greatness of this movie? There are a lot of things that went into the creation of the movie, but, as what Forbes cited, the technology that was used to create it is one of the biggest contributors to its success. 

During the creation of the Walt Disney "Big Hero 6," there were a multitude of technologies used. However, there's one that stands out and this is the Hyperion rendering system.

In an interview, the film's technical supervisor Hank Driskill talked about the Hyperion rendering system, particularly the contributions it had to make the way it was when it hit the movie theatres.

According to Driskill, this specific technology was just one of 50 to 60 other technologies that were developed just for the "Big Hero 6."

He did point out that Hyperion was no doubt that most critical aspect when it comes to the rendering of the movie. He also explained that Hyperion was only developed for "Big Hero 6", which means that Disney took a huge risk when it began the production.

One of the key roles that was played by Hyperion, according to Global Advisors, was in terms of lighting elements. It took photography and cinematography to a whole new level.

With the film being animated, the developers and engineers had to take into careful consideration how rendering can totally affect the way that light was portrayed in it.
