This is my second attempt at leaving a comment, I am not sure why my original review was deleted as it did not break any sort of rules to my knowledge, and with that out of the way, here's my review.
I much enjoyed the Big Hero 6 feature from 2014, it did not reinvent the wheel as far as superhero movies are concerned but was still a very fun film with energetic animation and likeable characters. I was a bit intrigued after the announcement of this series and decided to give the full season a watch one night out of curiosity.
Basically, the series centers around the titular character helping various citizens of San Fransokyo in very brief vignettes. Outside of Cass and Hiro, with Maya Rudolph and Ryan Potter reprising their roles alongside Scott Adsit as Baymax, and the family cat none of the other characters from the Big Hero 6 feature return for this series and we spend time with other characters that have almost no relation with the cast of the original film. You are constantly left to wonder why is Baymax helping them out, and why do their problems really warrant his presence. Despite this, most of these vignettes are fine - they're fairly short, so it's not like you will be spending a full hour of your time with these singular narratives. However, I must echo what some others have said and agree that the third and fourth episodes of the first season are not very appropriate for younger viewers, especially the third vignette - if you're a parent or guardian consider skipping these two if your children really want to see the series, nothing will be lost if you stop at two and continue at five.
