STORY
CAST
- Vin Diesel as Baby Groot:
A member of the Guardians of the Galaxy who is a tree-like humanoid. Executive producer Brad Winderbaum called Baby Groot “imperfect” who “doesn’t always make the right choices, but learns from his mistakes”, adding it was “fun to watch him fail, and it’s even more fun to watch him succeed”. - Bradley Cooper as Rocket:
A member of the Guardians who is a genetically modified raccoon bounty hunter and a master of weapons and military tactics. Director Kirsten Lepore described Rocket as “bit of a scolding parent” towards Groot, but still his friend “with a soft heart”, with Winderbaum stating that Rocket feels responsible for Groot as “an unlikely parent”.
PRODUCTION
Development
In December 2020, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced I Am Groot, a series of short films starring Baby Groot. Around then, Marvel Studios’ head of streaming, television and animation Brad Winderbaum chose Kirsten Lepore to direct the shorts, which would have “little-to-no dialogue”. Marvel Studios was looking for a way to return to the Baby Groot character after his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) since they felt there was “a whole universe of stories to tell” with him as a toddler. They also were drawn to early Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck short films as a way to “go back to that early Disney animation short-form style of storytelling”. Lepore was announced as director of the shorts during the Disney+ Day event in November 2021; she is also the series’ head writer.
I Am Groot consists of five shorts, totaling approximately 15 minutes, produced by Marvel Studios Animation. The shorts are executive produced by Marvel Studios’ Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Winderbaum, as well as James Gunn, the writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, and Lepore. Production on five additional shorts was underway by July 2022, described as a second season. Lepore said this second collection of shorts would be “in the same spirit” as the first, and features ideas she had that did not make the first collection of shorts.
