'Big Hero 6' TV Show Release Date News: Disney Confirms November Premiere, Drops 15-sec Teaser Video
Baymax and Hiro are hitting the small screen in November as Disney officially confirmed that the "Big Hero 6" TV show is included in its lineup for fall. Earlier this week, the studio also released a new teaser for the upcoming TV show, showing how heavily inspired it is by the 2014 animated film.
"Big Hero 6" was one of the highest-grossing animated Disney films of all time and a fan-favorite, too. As the film heads to TV, Disney XD has tapped "Kim Possible" creator Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley to run the show. Based on Marvel Comics, the "Big Hero 6" film drew crowds of moviegoers on the year it was shown due to its warm story and ability to connect with kids. It is also noteworthy that in today's media landscape dominated by mature and darker takes on superheroes, "Big Hero 6" has reminded viewers that cute and innocent creatures can be superheroes too.
The first 15-second teaser for the upcoming show was first released on Disney XD's official YouTube channel. Although it was brief, it was enough to offer a good look of the fan-favorite Hiro and Baymax, as well as the film's signature San Fransokyo skyline.
