Though a sequel has never been made, the story doesn't end with the film. Big Hero 6 has since had a TV series on Disney Channel and a Disney+ miniseries. Big Hero 6: The Series began in 2017 and had three seasons.
Not only because Big Hero 6 was suffering script issues, but it is also because Laroque would instead work on an idea that would later become Quest. During production of Quest for 2013 release, Laroque expressed interest of reviving Big Hero 6, which did not last very long, however.
Big Hero 6 The Series will not return for a fourth season, EW has learned exclusively. The Disney XD animated spin-off to the 2014 Big Hero 6 movie will now officially end with its season 3 finale, which will air on Monday, Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. All episodes premiere on Disney XD and DisneyNOW.
Calculating in all expenses, Deadline Hollywood estimated that the film made a profit of $187.34 million. Worldwide, it is the highest-grossing animated film of 2014, and one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.
As of now, there isn't a "Big Hero 6" sequel in active development. Even after the film was released in November 2014, directors Don Hall and Chris Williams weren't keen on getting a sequel off the ground because they were so exhausted from finishing the first one.
The 6-foot, 2-inch tall Baymax towers over the 5-foot-tall boy-genius Hiro in the “Big Hero 6” movies and television shows. The Hiro character that appears in Disney theme parks is 5-foot-3 to 5-foot-7, according to the Disney Auditions website.
Based on a Marvel comic-book series set in Japan, the film -— which hits theaters Friday -— borrows in a big way from that country's culture, specifically the storied tradition of anime.
Hiro's whole life is one big tearjerker. He lost his parents when he was very young, prompting him and his brother to live with their aunt. He's smart, but being bullied for it made him insecure, using arrogance to hide it. The only person he's close with is his good-looking brother, making his insecurities even worse.
The name and layout of the city is a mix between real-life cities San Francisco, California and Tokyo, Japan. Some promotional posters have featured the city's newspaper San Fransokyo Times with the date 2150 on it, suggesting that the city and the film is set near the year 2150.
When a ice-powered supervillain named Gunsmith threatens to turn San Fransokyo into ice. The Big Hero 6 are off to save the day to stop Gunsmith from turning the city into ice.
Big Hero 6 is based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name, which means Hiro, Baymax and all their friends are canon in the Marvel universe. It's also a Disney film, and since the MCU is owned by Disney, the logic holds up for it to be part of the cinematic universe.
With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Big Hero 6 is an action-packed comedy adventure that introduces Baymax, a lovable personal companion robot who forms a special bond with robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada.
Big Hero 6 is delivered as a superhero movie but is really a coming-of-age story in disguise. As Hiro struggles through his emotions of sorrow and bitterness, he must learn that grace and forgiveness are on the other side.
By leaning on friends, the movie also avoids other potential issues, such as forcing romantic relationships when there is no room for them. Instead, Big Hero 6 relies on the importance of friendship and found family to create a team of people who can help and support each other unconditionally.
Baymax! is a sequel to the original Big Hero 6 film as the robot is already well established in the Hamada household, particularly with Hiro (Ryan Potter), who helped give the robot several upgrades following the loss of his brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney).
He was originally a bodyguard built by Hiro himself, as Hiro didn't have a brother. In the movie, Baymax is so adorable and huggable because he needs to appear approachable. A healthcare companion takes care of people and cannot look threatening. Original Baymax didn't have that problem.
