The second trailer for Disney’s latest animated film Big Hero 6 has been released, putting Marvel character Baymax at the fore.

Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, the film follows robotics prodigy Hiro Hamanda and his best friend Baymax, a balloon-like robot.

The trailer shows the creation of Baymax for the first time, who was initially created by Hiro’s older brother to become a healthcare assistant. But Hiro has other plans, and instead uses the robot to help fight a super villain attacking their home town “San Fransokyo”.

The two minute clip also shows the growing and at times heart-warming relationship between the Hiro and Baymax as they begin to depend on each other.

Directed by Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh) and Chris Williams (Bolt), the film is the first Disney movie to feature Marvel characters since The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009.

Featuring the voices of Jamie Chung, TJ Miller, Alan Tudky and Genesis Rodriguez, the trailer shows Big Hero 6 still has the heart and light humour that audiences have come to enjoy from Disney films.

Big Hero 6 is due to be released in 3D in the UK on 30 January, making it a possible Oscar contender for the Best Animated Feature category following the success of Disney’s Frozen at the awards this year.
