'I Am Groot' Animated Series on Disney Plus
As per a news story by IGN, Disney has officially confirmed that "I Am Groot" is debuting on its streaming service this August.
The formal reveal comes with the first-ever poster for the upcoming animated series of the titular hero, Baby Groot.
IGN notes that the upcoming show, "I Am Groot," looks to focus on the childhood of Baby Groot.
Marvel teases that original shorts on Disney Plus center on the "glory days growing up, and getting into trouble among the stars."
'I Am Groot' on Disney Plus Poster
Besides the description of the new animated series, Marvel Studios also gave us the first look at the poster of "I Am Groot."
The poster shows a younger version of Groot seemingly relaxing while listening to his favorite tunes on his headset. What's interesting was that his head was leaning on the Walkman of none other than Peter Quill.
It also gives us a summer vibe. Thanks to the palm tree air freshener. Not to mention that he is wearing blacked-out specs while chilling atop a sandy surface like his vacationing on a beach destination.
But instead of the bright sun rays during the summer heat, the mischievous Guardians character is basking under the warm light of a reading lamp. So, we now get an idea of his size during his youthful days.
