The trailer showed Sora, Donald and Goofy joining forces with Baymax and getting a hold of a Big Hero 6 keyblade called Nano Arms.

Although the main focus of this trailer was Big Hero 6’s world, brief glimpses of characters from other worlds were also shown, including Tangled and Monsters Inc. The trailer also featured a Gummi Ship segment, with the ship destroying incoming asteroids and engaging in boss battles.
In addition, a bonus Kingdom Hearts VR experience for the PlayStation VR was revealed following the Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer. This VR experience will be absolutely free and will be available for download sometime during the holiday season.
