Big Hero 6: The Series is an American superhero comedy[1] animated television series, produced by Disney Television Animation and developed by Kim Possible creators Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley. The series is based on Disney's 2014 film Big Hero 6, which itself is loosely based on the comic book series Big Hero 6 published by Marvel Comics. The series is a sequel as it takes place after the events of the film and uses traditional hand-drawn animation.[2][3] It premiered with a 43-minute episode titled "Baymax Returns" on Disney XD on November 20, 2017. In 2018, the series was moved from Disney XD to Disney Channel before the series premiere. The series formally premiered with two new episodes on Disney Channel on June 9, 2018.[4]

Plot

The series is set after the events of the feature film Big Hero 6 and continues the adventures of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro Hamada and the compassionate, cutting-edge robot Baymax created by his late brother Tadashi. Along with his friends Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred, they form the superhero team Big Hero 6 and embark on high-tech adventures as they protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains. Hiro also faces academic challenges and social trials as the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology (SFIT).

The show slightly retcons the ending of the movie. Among the differences are Aunt Cass knowing about Baymax, the Big Hero 6's team identities still being secret from the public, and Hiro attending SFIT as if everything is back to normal (and though a building is erected after Tadashi, Hiro does not receive a grant from the Institute). Hiro also does not come up with the name "Big Hero 6" like it is implied at the end of the movie, instead Fred comes up with the name after having "brainstormed an epic list of team names" and testing them with himself.

He eventually meets his "brother" in the haunted house where he is overjoyed to see him again at first, but soon realizes that this just an illusion created by Obake, caused by the lenses which turns their fears into reality. As the rest of the team face their worst fears, Noodle Burger Boy steals a high-powered magnet from SFIT. After the events, Hiro and his friends regroup and wonder how Obake knows them so well, while Noodle Burger Boy delivers the magnet to Obake, so he can use it for the machine he is building.

For the semester finals, Hiro has to turn in a project, but has been preoccupied with fighting Globby who had been trying to steal a piece of Krei tech. While returning the item, Krei reveals that it was a failed piece to an energy amplifier. Inspired, Hiro decides to focus on recreating it only to be turned down by a visibly distraught Granville. He nevertheless continues with it, causing him to ignore his friends. Honey tries to do a project on Shimamoto, so she and Wasabi break into her secret lab and find a wax filter. Fred pitches an idea to Go Go and Krei to capture Globby by presenting a fake amplifier, but he arrives with Noodle Burger Boy. Hiro does not arrive in time as he is completing his project and Baymax is seemingly injured by Noodle Burger Boy, but appears fine. At the open house, Honey plays Shimamoto's message and she reveals herself to be the cause of the "great disaster" in the past. Obake (whose real name is Bob Aken) reveals himself to Granville and has Noodle Burger Boy, Globby and Momakase attack the open house so he can steal Hiro's amplifier. Afterwards, Granville reveals that she knows the Big Hero 6's identities and explains how she knows Obake. Baymax, who was given an Obake chip, kidnaps Hiro and takes him to Obake who reveals his plan to create a star to destroy San Fransokyo so that he can rebuild it and take Hiro on as an apprentice. Globby has a change of heart and frees Hiro and they unite with the rest to stop the impending destruction. Honey and Globby attempt to brace a small town while Wasabi and Go Go evacuate the residents and fight Momakase. Hiro, Fred and Mini-Max then use Kentucky Kaiju to create a powerful wave that disrupts the star and causes Obake's lair to crumble. Obake frees Baymax and sends him to rescue Hiro from drowning while he resigns himself to his fate. Granville decides to pass Hiro for his heroic deeds and he admits that he is unsure if Obake survived. However, the last scene shows Obake's ogre-like symboled chip at the bottom of the bay, which makes it questionable what really happened to him.
