Big Hero 6: The Series, which is based on the Walt Disney’s Academy Award-winning feature film, continues to follow the adventures of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro, his compassionate robot companion Baymax along with their friends Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred who form the legendary superhero team ‘Big Hero 6’ to embark on high-tech adventures in order to protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.

The usual voice cast of the series includes Maya Rudolph (Aunt Cass), Ryan Potter (Hiro), Scott Adsit (Baymax), Jamie Chung (Go Go), Alan Tudyk (Alistair Krei), Khary Payton (Wasabi), Genesis Rodriguez (Honey Lemon), Brooks Wheelan (Fred), David Shaughnessy (Heathcliff) and comics’ veteran Stan Lee (Fred’s dad).

The show has also revealed the new list of celebrity guest stars as the exclusive voice cast. Emmy Award-nominated Christy Carlson Romano who plays the bot-fighter Trina, reunites with her Kim Possible creative team- Emmy Award-winning executive producers Mark McCorkle, Bob Schooley and Nick Filippi.
