The Big Hero 6: The Series shorts are a series of webisodes available on YouTube by Disney. They are based on Big Hero 6: The Series.
Different groups of shorts were released, as well as one crossover.
Baymax and[]
The first six shorts star Baymax interacting with a different character in every episode. Every short starts with Baymax saying "Hello, I am Baymax" with some variables such as his outfit. They were first made available in different official Disney regional accounts and were posted months later by Disney Channel's international account.
These episodes were produced during Season 1 between the production of "The Impatient Patient" and "Muirahara Woods", and all were directed by Ben Juwono[1].
All shorts are approximately 2 minutes long.
