    Groot

    Better than Thor: Love and Thunder.

    Well, well, well At least it's a production that serves its purpose.

    It's not a multi-million dollar piece of garbage.

    I am Groot.

    The first of five short films focusing on everyone's favourite space tree, 'Groot's First Steps (2022)' is a quick and inconsequential depiction of its title character's rebirth after the events at the end of 'Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)'. It isn't terrible, but its underwhelming visual effects and uninspiring plot don't do it any favours. It isn't particularly funny and it isn't all that engaging. There isn't all that much to it, really. Still, there are some elements that work relatively well and it doesn't exactly overstay its welcome. It's below average, but it's not the worst way to spend five minutes.

    Best Vin Diesel Work

    This is absolutely the best voice work Vin Diesel has ever done - easily!!!

    ((In the MCU))

    Also, The animation quality is extremely good. Not an amazing story, but funny for extremely young kids :)

    We are Groot

    So this is the first episode : the animations are pretty nice and we follow that little guy from the Avengers and his first steps. Its so annoying that they didnt make an animation that make 20 minutes or something. Its good but too much short. I enjoyed it anyway and ready to follow Groot in other Adventures.

    Outstanding animation and cute short!

    Sometime between the end of Guardians of the Galaxy and the start of its sequel, Baby Groot grew up from a flora colossus living in a pot into a toddler running around being mischievous.

    The new Disney+ series I Am Groot pilot episode shows us how Baby Groot got out of this pot and began walking. The animation of the episode was some of the best I have ever seen. It did not even look like a cartoon and it felt like watching a regular Marvel show. The Guardian's ship The Benatar looked exactly as it had in in the movies, the tree and robots looked lifelike, and Groot appeared just as he had in the movie. Groot's emotions were shown well on his face including whether he was happy, playful, sad, or frustrated.

    This episode was a great start to the show. Baby Groot was adorable to watch and it was cool seeing him use his stretching powers. The plot was simple, yet effective for the short.

    I can not wait to continue watching this series!
