Baymax! Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2 review
Episodes 1 and 2 were short and sweet. The story doesn’t need to be expanded into a half hour or more when the lesson or moral can be explained so exquisitely in manner or eleven minutes or so.
It was nice to see both a familiar face from Big Hero 6 and someone entirely new. This is the ideal way to continue creating the world of Big Hero 6.
You are not just designated to the cafe or to The San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. You are seeing what the city looks like and how it functions from different perspectives.
It is a little hilarious how everyone’s immediate response to Baymax is fear due to his overabundance of care and selflessness. But in the end, he means well and is able to help more than he realizes.
