BAYMAX! and ZOOTOPIA+ Animated Series Headed to Disney+
Disney has had a ton of awesome announcements flood out, including tons of new shows and movies that are heading to the streamer Disney+. Among them are two new shows for the younger crowd, Baymax! and Zootopia+.
Baymax! is described by the director of Big Hero Six as “a continuation of the movie” that will include the film’s characters and will explore more of the futuristic city of San Fransokyo. “The series really focuses on Baymax’s original protocol, which is to be a nurse robot,” he said. Each episode will introduce a new character, a patient who Baymax will ultimately try to help. Hall also explained that Baymax will have a “new feature which will allow him to quickly travel around the streets” of the metropolis “looking for patients.” The series will be on Disney+ in early 2022.
Zootopia+ will be a short form series which concentrates on some of the supporting characters we saw in the original Zootopia film, which will be overseen by directors and creators Trent Corey and Josie Trinidad. This show “takes a hilarious look at some of the animals we only briefly met in the Oscar-winning film,” like Frou Frou and that sloth from the DMV. Weirdly, this series will also include looks at fictional shows within the Zootopia universe, like “The Real Housewives of Little Rodentia,” “So You Think You Can Prance,” and a show dedicated to sloths. This show will arrive on Disney+ in Spring 2022.
My kids will be really excited for both of these series. Are you looking forward to either one?
