I AM GROOT Gets A Summer Premiere Date; Will Launch Right Ahead Of SHE-HULK

Marvel Studios has announced the premiere date for I Am Groot, a series of original shorts that will follow the adventures of Baby Groot as he gets into all sorts of troubles while traveling the galaxy.

Marvel Studios has announced that I Am Groot will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Wednesday, August 10 - which is just one week before the launch of their next live-action series She-Hulk starring Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo. 

The upcoming series of original shorts will follow the adventures of Baby Groot, presumably voiced by Vin Diesel (Fast X; Guardians of the Galaxy), as he lands himself into all kinds of trouble while growing up aboard the Milano. 

There aren't many details at this time, but since the animated series will take place between the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, there's a decent chance we could see some familiar faces pop in throughout the course of the show's run. 

Kirsten Lepore helmed the series, with Ryan Little serving as showrunner. Kevin Feige and James Gunn are attached as executive producers, so there's always a chance the series might potentially have ties to the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

The series of original shorts —following Baby Groot’s glory days growing up, and getting into trouble among the stars — premieres on August 10 exclusively on Disney+. Take a look at the brand new poster for the series above, featuring a very relaxed little Baby Groot just chilling out with his favorite tunes.

Sorry but Morbius will be re-released for the tenth time on that date. That is far more important.

James Gunn is barely involved, and I dont think any of us here is the target audience for this.
Cute, but not for us.

@TheHumanSpider2 - (Ahem) I will be most definitely putting it on for my 2 and 6 year old kids while I go do some random yard work that I haven't concocted yet while "occasionally" checking in on them to make sure that what they are watching is age appropriate and comic accurate, I mean, I'll pop in here and there and rewind and rewatch stuff in case I miss something all in the name of being a good parent. For God's sake, it's all for the children people! ;)

@StSteven - Yes, but this looks for infants (like your kids), James Gunn tweeted yesterday you dont "need" to see this before Guardians 3 (unlike the Holiday Special), its as cute show for little children...doesnt mean you will have a few nerds in their 30s complaining about this show being "childish"
StSteven
StSteven - 6/6/2022, 11:52 AM
@TheHumanSpider2 - Oh, right. Totally agree. I was just saying (in my not so subtle way) that made for little kids or not I'll be right there watching it with my kids because my inner child will have control of the remote ;)

Oh, and yeah, I'm definitely expecting the complaining about it being childish along with the fact that it screws up the continuity because in IW Groot was a teenager but in this he's back to being Baby Groot. "What the hell man?"

@StSteven - LMAO I'm dying at your comic accurate comment. Like i imagine you come in, see something that breaks continuity and immediately turn it off, your kids get upset and you respond, "We don't watch non-canon material in this house"
StSteven
StSteven - 6/7/2022, 1:04 PM
@Deonox - You're goddamn right we don't! It's a slippery slope: first you allow non-canon material, then the next thing you know you're explaining everything away as "the Multiverse", and before you know it, it's human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!. When does it stop, man, when does it stop?!?
