'I am Groot' Fan Review: Disney+ animated series hailed as 'adorable and funny'

'Just watched the #IAmGroot shorts and I loved them so much I need more baby groot content,' a fan tweeted

After Marvel released five 3 to 5-minute episodes of 'I am Groot' on Disney+, fans have officially lost their calm due to baby Groot's adorability factor. The series was released on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 globally. Fans were overwhelmed with emotion after watching the mini-series and poured all their love on the 'Guardian of the Galaxy's baby tree character.

The show is based on the 'Groot' comic series by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby that got adapted by Marvel Cinematic Universe, and was directed by Kirsten Lepore. 'I am Groot' stars Vin Diesel as Groot (a member of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and a tree-like humanoid), and Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon (another 'GOTG' member who is a genetically modified raccoon bounty hunter and a master of weapons and military tactics). Additionally, Trevor Devall voices Iwua, a shapeshifting alien who impersonates Groot, while James Gunn makes a voice cameo as Wrist Watch. Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, James Gunn, and Kirsten Lepore are the executive producers of the short Marvel series.
