Phone booths are given Baymax makeover

By Cui Jia | China Daily | Updated: 2015-04-08 07:02

Phone booths in Beijing have been painted to resemble Baymax, the robot star of the Disney animated film Big Hero 6, by a group that wishes to draw attention to what was once an essential means of communication.

People have lost interest in the booths because of the advance of mobile technology, and the group hopes the project will remind them of their existence and encourage them to talk to their loved ones more often.

"Telephone booths are a bit like dreams - people walk past them every day but have forgotten about them," group member Jiang Bowen, 25, said on Tuesday.
