Big Hero 6: The Series is a television series that follows the Academy Award winning film Big Hero 6. The series began airing November 20th, 2017.

It is the first animated series to focus on the team.

Story[]

The series will immediately follow the events of the film. Hiro Hamada is the newest prodigy at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. He faces the usual academic challenges as well as being the new person on campus. Meanwhile, he still teams up with Baymax, Honey Lemon, Wasabi-No-Ginger, Fredzilla, and GoGo Tomago to protect the city as Big Hero 6 from various scientifically enhanced villains.[1]

Background[]

Kim Possible alumni Mark McCorkle, Bob Schooley, and Nick Filippi are executive producing the series while Filippi will also serve as supervising director.

President and Chief Creative Officer of Disney Channels Worldwide Gary Marsh said "Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop these characters into a world class animated series, full of fun, action and the kind of endearing storytelling that only Mark, Bob, and Baymax can deliver."[2]

It is unknown what this means for the film's potential sequel. MTV spoke to Honey Lemon actress Genesis Rodriguez who stated "We spoke during Oscar night and we're like, 'Well, maybe now that we got the Oscar, this might happen.' There's nothing definitive. There's talks of something happening. We just don't know what yet." This could be the results of those talks, or something to keep fan interest until the sequel eventually comes.[3]

On December 10th, 2020, Disney announced a new series to follow the film titled Baymax! to premiere on Disney+. This new series would be handled by Walt Disney Animation Studios, who normally handles just the theatrical releases, rather than Disney's television division.[4] On January 28th, 2021, Entertainment Weekly received exclusive news that this series would come to an end following the conclusion of the third season.[5] It is unknown how Baymax! fits in with this series or if one will place the other out of canon.

Episodes[]

On March 14th, 2017, Disney XD renewed the series for a second season.[7]

Starting November 24th, 2017, Disney will release six shorts each consecutive Friday.[8]

In August 2018, Unity Technologies partnered with Disney Animation for a series of shorts based on the series titled Baymax Dreams. The shorts would use Unity's real-time rendering software, typically used for game development. According to a press release, this "gives studios the freedom to do layout, animation blending, light, VFX, render, and composite all in one place, at the same time."

The shorts were directed by Simon J. Smith. He said, "Working in Unity is like having every department at your fingertips, it completely revolutionizes the production process. The results of Unity's parallel, non-linear workflow and real-time rendering meant we were able to make 'Baymax Dreams' in half the time, allowing us to spend the other half on experimentation and the creative process."

The shorts were released on September 15th, 2018 on DisneyNOW and Disney Channel's YouTube channel.[9]

On April 16th, 2019, before the second season premiered, Disney renewed the series for a third season.[10]

On January 28th, 2021 it was announced that the third season would the last.
