Groot gets animated series on Disney+ this August

Groot is getting his own animated series on Disney+ with the aptly named I Am Groot. The animated shorts will hit the streaming service on August 10, with Baby Groot played by Vin Diesel. Marvel Studios teased the series in a tweet with an official poster of the cute anthropomorphic sapling chilling on a blanket and leaning against Peter Quill/Starlord's iconic Walkman while he's listening to music on headphones with what we assume is a mocktail complete with a tiny umbrella. He's lying beside a palm tree-shaped air freshener, reminding us how small he is, with two four-eyed, penguin-like creatures peeking out.

We don't know much else about this animated short series, but Marvel vaguely describes it as "following Baby Groot's glory days growing up, and getting into trouble among the stars." It's also unclear if the other Guardians will show up. For now, we can only speculate from the poster what will happen. The Verge pointed out that this series will be the first original Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff, but it isn't the last. A live-action Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will be streaming exclusively on Disney+ in December.
