“Big Hero 6”: Disney XD Announces TV Series

WHO DOESN’T WANT MORE BAYMAX IN THEIR LIVES?!?  Thankfully for us, Disney XD knows this, and are bringing a new show featuring the team from Big Hero 6 the film to a television near you.  From Kim Possible creator Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley, it looks to be pretty good.

The Hollywood Reporter says:

the series picks up immediately following the events in the movie, and continues the adventures of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro and his robot Baymax. Joining the pair on their journey is control freak Wasabi, scientist Honey Lemon, fanboy Fred and no-nonsense Go Go, who together form the Big Hero 6 superhero team. As the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, Hiro faces daunting academic challenges, not to mention the social trials of being the little man on campus. The stakes are also raised for the high-tech heroes when they must protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.

“Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters,” Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide. “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.”

No word yet on whether or not the voice talent from the film will be returning for the series.  Big Hero 6 has started production for a 2017 premiere.
