I Am Groot

Baby Groot takes the lead in a collection of animated shorts about growing up and getting into trouble. Vin Diesel returns as Groot, while writer and director Kirsten Lepore gives the small character room for adventures outside a full Guardians of the Galaxy mission.

The short format changes what counts as an adventure. A small discovery or a moment of curiosity can become the whole story, with movement and reaction doing much of the work. Watch the timing of Groot's expressions and gestures: a familiar voice is only one part of the performance.

You can begin with the first short. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 offers a longer Baby Groot adventure if you want more of the character, but this collection introduces its small-scale situations directly.

The catalog groups the shorts into two seasons of five. Start with the first collection if you want a simple release-order route, then continue to the second. These are brief character adventures rather than another feature-length Guardians installment, so use the individual episode times below when planning a short viewing session.
