If you wanted to see more of Hiro, Baymax and the rest of the super crew after the end of 2014’s “Big Hero 6,” then you’re going to want to check out Disney XD’s “Big Hero 6: The Series.”

Tomorrow’s DVD release “Big Hero 6: The Series – Back in Action” features seven episodes of the new animated series that returns Ryan Potter to the role of Hiro and Scott Adsit to the role of Baymax. It also features six hilarious shorts, each featuring Baymax with one of the other characters.

The seven episodes featured on the DVD are presented out of order in relation to when they aired on Disney XD.
