In 2014, I first discussed the Big Hero 6 character and his upcoming film over on PiercingMetal.com (seen HERE)- It wasn’t a normal process for me because I don’t usually feature the Disney films unless they are a part of the Marvel Studios line of releases on that website. Now with a full blown Film and Television section of its own, I am continuing to showcase the stuff that might be for a slightly younger audience. This animated series continues the adventures of Baymax and company in a new Disney Channel show called “Big Hero 6 – The Series”. Let’s take a look.
The Plot: The series is set after the events of the feature film Big Hero 6 and continues the adventures of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro Hamada and the compassionate, cutting-edge robot Baymax created by his late brother Tadashi. Along with his friends Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred, they form the superhero team Big Hero 6 and embark on high-tech adventures as they protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains. Hiro also faces academic challenges and social trials as the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology (SFIT).

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I think this will be fun for all of the younger set that enjoys super hero action and especially those who might still be too young for the Marvel or DC Comics stuff that airs on both small and larger screens today. What did you think of this trailer? Will you be letting the wee ones tune in or do you want to check it out for yourself? Fess up, you know I am not going to judge you here. We’re all geeks at the end of the day. See you next time.
