Big Hero 6 started as a Disney animated hit and expanded into an ongoing TV series, so knowing the watch order helps you follow Hiro and Baymax's adventures without missing a beat.

Loosely inspired by a Marvel comic, Big Hero 6 introduced the world to boy genius Hiro Hamada and his lovable healthcare robot Baymax in the tech-metropolis of San Fransokyo. The 2014 film's success spawned a television continuation and even a streaming shorts series, giving fans plenty more super-powered team-ups to enjoy.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order tracks how the franchise was rolled out, beginning with the Oscar-winning feature and continuing into episodic television.

  1. Big Hero 6 (2014)
  2. Big Hero 6: The Series (2017–2021)
  3. Baymax! (2022)

The good news is that story chronology lines up almost perfectly with release order, since each entry builds directly on the last.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Watch the film first to understand how the team forms, then move into the series, which picks up shortly afterward as the heroes protect San Fransokyo. The 'Baymax!' shorts serve as a gentle epilogue focused on the robot's everyday acts of kindness.

  1. Big Hero 6 (2014)
  2. Big Hero 6: The Series (2017–2021)
  3. Baymax! (2022)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Because release order and chronology match, you can simply start with the movie and continue into the series. Save the 'Baymax!' shorts for last β€” they're a warm, low-stakes coda that hits harder once you already love the big fluffy robot at the heart of it all.
