Tell us a little bit about Big Hero 6 . JAMIE CHUNG: Big Hero 6 follows the story of a group of friends who join together to solve a huge mystery. At the heart of the story is a big, white, inflatable medical robot named Baymax and a kid called Hiro. Baymax is the most loveable robot you’ll ever meet! The movie is filled with crazy gadgets and gizmos.What are your favorites? The purse is amazing! It reminds me of Penny’s book from Inspector Gadget .
