help Big Hero 6 FAQ
Why does Baymax become an armored superhero in Big Hero 6?
Baymax begins as a personal healthcare companion created by Hiro's brother, Tadashi Hamada. Hiro equips him with armor and combat programming while investigating the masked figure responsible for stealing his microbots.
Is San Fransokyo a real city?
No. Disney created San Fransokyo as a hybrid setting that combines San Francisco landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, with Japanese architecture and design.
How closely does Big Hero 6 follow the Marvel comic?
The film borrows the team name and characters such as Hiro and Baymax, but substantially changes their designs, relationships, and story. Disney's 2014 film presents Baymax as a healthcare robot rather than closely reproducing his comic-book incarnation.
Does the story continue after the Big Hero 6 movie?
Yes. Big Hero 6: The Series continues Hiro's adventures with Baymax and the team, while the later Disney+ series Baymax! focuses on Baymax helping individual residents of San Fransokyo.
