As shared by the company during Disney+ Day, the series, which is named after its titular hero and fan-favorite inflatable computerized robot, will return to screens in the Summer of next year. The show marks the first animated series from Walt Disney Animation Studios and will stream exclusively on Disney Plus.
The upcoming series won't be the first time that Baymax has made his way onto the small screen. Following Big Hero 6's successful release in theatres, the character returned for Big Hero 6: The Series which aired between November 2017 and February of this year. While the series acted as a sequel to the events that took place in Big Hero 6, it was animated very differently.
Where Big Hero 6 opted down a route of 3D animated CGI, the series opted for a more traditional hand-drawn 2D approach to its art style. As detailed in today's trailer, Baymax! will see the character revert back to his 3D self.
