An Animated Appointment With Baymax Awaits This Summer

I guess if Disney had not purchased Marvel in 2009 [29], there would not have been an animated Disney film based on the Big Hero 6 comic book series in 2014 [3] [33]. We were first introduced to Baymax on richly coloured pages back in late 1998, long before the Disneyfied incarnation of him was invented [4] [16] [17]. I recall posing with him as the 2013 version of Lara Croft at MCM Birmingham Comic Con back in early 2016 [27] [36]. Some of our fellow gamers may recall his appearance in Kingdom Hearts III [25]. He sure has some creatively bizarre dreams when he needs to recharge, I tell you [9]! Nothing seems to be stopping his medical services as the trailer for a new series starring him as the titular character was released back in late 2021 [30]. As it has been two days since the release of the second official trailer for the forthcoming series coming to Disney+ [10] [31], now is the time that this Disney desirer expresses her thoughts on such an idea before she receives some medical advice from the loveable healthcare companion, starting with the kind of warm hug Olaf likes after the amazing time she had at the Arcade Club in Manchester [3] [13] [35].

I know it is early to say this, but I just hope I will not have to eat spouts this Christmas, even though the sweet inflatable robot would tell me that they are nutritious [24]. [30] [31]

Some of our dear comic book crusaders may say that nothing will beat the Big Hero 6 comics that began in 1998 and were revived in 2008 [4]. But due to the success of the animated Disney adaption in the mid-2010s [3], will a new series on Disney+ excel for any fan of Big Hero 6 before the release of the teaser trailer for Big Hero 7 [26]? [4]

The new trailer begins with Hiro Hamada waking up to see that Baymax is absent in his room [7] [31]. The reason for this is his new objective; being a healthcare assistant for other humans in San Fransokyo [26]. As shown in the first trailer that was released back in November, he will aim to help run Aunt Cass’ business at the Luck Cat Café after she is advised to rest her sprained or broken ankle and greet an elderly woman named “Kiko” with adjustable volume control and recommend daily exercise [30]. In the second trailer, he will also aim to aid the driver of a fish delivery truck [7] [31]. Unfortunately, the way he accidentally photobombs and upsets a bowl of ramen will show that he can be a comic relief outside of his duties. Although the cat he tries to bond with deflates with him by poking holes in his body, there is a chance that he may be a potential veterinarian. Well, it is not the first time he tried to hold a kitty [8]. Aside from the cause of him being covered in bandages at a school presentation [30], he is always adorable. After all, he was the Most Huggable Character of 2015 [32].

To be honest, I would not be embarrassed if Baymax was my healthcare assistant and he detected that I was having a certain moment of a woman’s life, considering how gentlemanly he would be about it to me [15] [22]. If Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus were rated 12 and T for Teen [20] [21], then there would be a mention of it in the game for a specific reason. [31]

The moment of Baymax running the café at an unbearably slow pace in the previous trailer is a prime example of humour in the forthcoming series. He may be quite absent-minded during duties outside of healthcare, but he is sure to be a fun and tender-natured character as he goes swimming with Kiko and shows support for a young girl at the school she attends. [30]

Aside from Baymax’s efforts to be the best healthcare assistant he can be in San Fransokyo, what other elements in the upcoming short series could be there? There appears to be some source of endangerment and how a character would handle it, such as how Baymax managed to grab a thin wooden stake before it could pop him. There is also a scene of Hiro summoning the army of microbots to let him find Baymax, which could lead to some further character exploration for them, even though they are just little specks with metal that have surreal abilities [3] [8] [11] [12]. Could the other members of the superhero team make a short appearance in some scenes [3]? Perhaps there could be a moment when Baymax needs to be powered up in his superhero armour in the final episode for a satisfying finale, despite how rather unlikely that sounds as that would be more fitting for a resolution of a direct feature-length sequel to Big Hero 6 preferably titled “Big Hero 7” [3]. It is quite ambitious that the third, fourth and fifth episodes will not be directed by Dean Wellins as different directors can provide different developments in terms of storytelling and character progression [26].

Seriously? This fellow is Baymax, not Count Dracula [28]! [31]

Since there might as well be some elements in all six episodes of Baymax! besides the titular character’s clumsiness and helpfulness [26], perhaps there can be some new exploration for Hiro. [31]

Being a modern 3D Disney film outside of Pixar Animation Studios, this upcoming animated series consists of highly admirable visuals [7] [30] [31]. The town of San Fransokyo has a vibe that fittingly combines elements of San Francisco and Tokyo, including the ramen stall that has two lovely lanterns with blossoms printed on them and blossom trees in certain areas. There are also the cartoonish appearances of the human characters to bring out the charming modern Disney aesthetics. The 2D animation in Big Hero 6: The Series may have been considered a cost-cutting decision, but it was still vibrant and faithful to the exceptional character design and colourfulness of the film [11] [12]. The chibi art style of the Big Chibi 6 Shorts was pretty quirky and expressive but bringing back the high-budget 3D style once again sure helps the new series’ potential excel as a brand new spin-off [7] [8] [9] [10] [30] [31]. The return of the beautiful animation from the feature-length film and the dream sequences in the animated series is sure to evaluate the adventurous and comedic nature of the upcoming series. I do not doubt that it will be present in a theatrical sequel possibly titled “Big Hero 7” in the near future of Disney movies. 

As an art lover, I just have to praise the animation. I guess I could live in a town like San Fransokyo. [31]

I also wonder what hair gel Hiro and Sora from Kingdom Hearts use to keep their hair all stylishly spiky [25]? [31]

The first episode of Baymax! will be available to watch on Disney+ on the 29^th of June [7] [10] [30] [31]. It sure will be crazily thrilling to see She-Hulk in live-action on the same streaming service as well this August, just in time after the sixth episode [18] [26]. Speaking of crazy, would you believe that the original design for Sonic the Hedgehog in the first trailer for his live-action adaption made a return as “Ugly Sonic” in the very ambitiously made Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers [6] [14]? But as creative and quirky we can be, we need to be tender-hearted and considerate with second thoughts as we follow our passions [1] [5]. Outside of Disney+, it will not be long until our fellow space cadets blast off with Buzz Lightyear as the story of how his passion for his duties as a ranger began gets told [23]. As for Baymax!, I do not doubt that the adorable robotic healthcare companion will be as respectful and compassionate as he can be in San Fransokyo sometime after our fellow gamers help the league of angry birds rescue their eggs from those pesky pigs in a new Minecraft adventure [19]. I shall not deactivate into Aurora mode until you state that you are satisfied with this analysis [3].

I also wonder what could be next for Disney in a few years after we tune into Baymax’s duties on Disney+ [7] [10] [26] [30] [31]? A sequel to Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers ought to provide some redemption for a full-grown Peter Pan that will lead to him becoming one of the good guys for a very specific reason [1] [5] [6]. I would love to see Elsa find a female love interest in Frozen III [2]. [30]

If any of you would still prefer the Big Hero 6 comics from Marvel or would prefer to wait for Big Hero 7, that is absolutely fine [4] [16] [17]. On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate this article [3] [33]? You have been a good reader. Have a lollipop, but please do not slice your significant other’s head off with a chainsaw [34]. How about a fist bump [3] [24]? Ba la la la la! [10] [26]
