Big Hero 6 TV Movie Set for November Premiere

Ahead of the launch of Big Hero 6 The Series, based on the hit film, in 2018, Disney XD and Disney Channel are set to air a TV movie, Baymax Returns, this November.

Baymax Returns will launch on Disney XD and Disney Channel, as well as on the DisneyNOW app and Disney XD VOD. Immediately following the one-hour TV movie, two full-length preview episodes of Big Hero 6 The Series will debut exclusively on the DisneyNOW app and Disney XD VOD. The same day sees the launch of Pocket Baymax, a customizable, interactive virtual assistant, on DisneyNOW.

Baymax Returns explores the moment in the feature film after Hiro believes that Baymax is lost in the portal forever and discovers the chip his brother Tadashi designed to create the robot. The young tech genius, a student at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, sets off to rebuild Baymax. The series, coming to Disney XD in early 2018, continues the adventures and friendship of Hiro, Baymax and the Big Hero 6 team, picking up immediately following the events of the feature film. From November 24, shorts for the show will premiere every Friday for six consecutive weeks on Disney XD, the DisneyNOW app and Disney XD YouTube. The TV movie, series and shorts will roll out through 2018 on Disney XD channels and Disney Channels worldwide.
