| abstract | - Big Hero 6: The Animated Series is a 2015 American animated superhero-comedy television series based on the film of the same name which in turn is based off the Marvel Comic book. It takes place after the events of the movie. It focuses on the exploits of the Big Hero 6 fighting dastardly villains in San Fransokyo. It even pays homages certain Japanese film and TV genres in some episodes. And some other superheroes from Marvel will make guest appearances now and then. It is expected to air on the Disney Channel sometime in 2015.
- The team's Mecha, "Red Ronin" is in fact based upon the Marvel mecha that first appeared in the Marvel Comics version of Godzilla. In Fact, Red Ronin actually worked with Big Hero 6 in the comics at one point.
* So far, 4 hardcore Marvel characters have made guest appearances in the series: Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Spider-Man is expected to show up, which will then make it 5.
* In the minisode, Me Time, it is revealed when Hiro is fast asleep every night, Baymax likes to use this time to do things HE likes to do, examples including watching Transformers, playing soccer with himself, and painting, and the minisode focuses entirely on that.
* In Episode 34, it is revealed GoGo got her tough as nails attitude because her father was very overprotective of her and she was really annoyed by it.
* Hulk is, to date, the only hardcore Marvel character to have more than one guest appearance in the series.
* The way Fred becomes Fredzilla in Episode 29 is actually an homage to a scene from the Nickelodeon film, The Boy who Cried Werewolf, where the main character Jordan (Victoria Justice) transforms into a werewolf after a similar accident.
* Also, the monster Fredzilla looks exactly like he did in the comic books, as a reference to the comics and Godzilla.
* A recurring gag in the series is that a lot of people mistake Hiro for a girl due to his appearance, much to his chagrin. (it doesn't appear all the time, to make sure they don't oversaturate it, but it pops up every now and then).
* Baymax's monster form, the Werebot, was originally going to be called Wirewolf, but that name was near-immediately scrapped to avoid confusion with the Buzz Lightyear character of the same name.
* It turns out that Heathcliff, Fred's butler, is actually a superhero himself, called El Magnifico and Fred and the rest of the team has no idea that it's him.
*
* ​However, Fred finally does find out in the episode, Big Evil 6, and promises Heathcliff not to tell anyone, even his team.
* I took inspiration from James Bond and Batman for El Magnifico. I wanted to make a character that was great at fighting, has lots of gadgets and makes funny quips.
* Normally, Hiro is the leader of the team. But, when they are using Red Ronin to battle, Wasabi is the one that's the leader, as he's the one who built the mech, so he knows all the controls.
* In the one hour special, Reality Check, Alternate Fred is voiced by Steven Blum, because he is older in this dimension as it takes place a few years after Alternate Hiro conquered the world. Plus, he can do a great tough guy voice.
* Everwraith's origin is likely to be changed, as it was pretty gruesome. In the comics, he is the living embodiment of all the victims that died in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
* Whenever a major man-made disaster threatens the city, it's usually Fred's fault. Whether it be accidentally unleashing some kind of villain or monster, or using an invention to help his friends or the city, and it ends up going wrong.
* In the early stages of the show, Callaghan was originally not going to return at all and his daughter would end up taking the Yokai mantle in anger at the team for putting her dad in jail. She was going to go on a rampage and attack the team at their base, destroying their base, and then hunting the scattered BH6 down intent on picking them off one by one. But, this was ultimately scrapped as it doesn't seem like something she would do.
