In celebration of National Streaming Day, Disney+ has released a new trailer and key art for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Baymax!
Streaming exclusively on Disney+ on June 29, Baymax! returns to the fantastical city of San Fransokyo where the affable, inflatable, inimitable healthcare companion robot sets out to do what he was programmed to do: help others. The series of healthcare capers introduces extraordinary characters who need Baymax’s signature approach to healing in more ways than they realize.
“I thought it would be fun to do a Disney+ series with Baymax interacting with normal folks,” said series creator Don Hall, who helmed 2014’s Oscar-winning film Big Hero 6. “In each of our six episodes, Baymax just wants to help someone — and a lot of times they don’t want to be helped. He sets out to fix a physical issue that he’s identified, and in the process, gets to a deeper, more emotional place and can be almost transformative in that role.”
