2014’s Big Hero 6 was a pleasant surprise, a beautifully animated, non-canon Marvel movie with a ton of heart. Disney XD is trying to replicate the film’s success with their new cartoon, which features almost the entire original voice cast, including Stan Lee. The only exceptions are T.J. Miller’s Fred and Damon Wayans, Jr.’s Wasabi. We’ve already seen the show’s opening title sequence, and now this clip from Comic-Con gives us a closer look at the series.
In it, Hiro and Baymax must navigate a tunnel of booby traps to reach the evil Baron Von Steamer, including classic squish traps and a flaming train. If the show is anything like the film, this sequence will end with Baymax kicking the crap out of that train, then hugging Hiro and asking how satisfied he is with his care.
These next couple years will see a resurgence of Big Hero 6, with the cartoon and a Big Hero 6 world in the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts 3. The long awaited Kingdom Hearts sequel recently received a 2018 release date and a Toy Story world, so Big Hero 6 will be in good company. If Disney is trying to guage interest for a Big Hero 7 film (Big Hero 6 2?), this is certainly the way to go about it. Or they could just ask. We’re interested. Give us the movie!
