I Am Groot is a short and sweet mini-series created by Kirsten Lepore and, as the title suggests, features Groot. These animated shorts showcase a chaotic and curious side of Groot, from arts and crafts to terrorizing lifeforms. But what’s so cute is that it’s Baby Groot causing all kinds of trouble. If you caught up with the show, here’s the 10 most adorable things that happen in I Am Groot.
Groot Fighting With a Tree (Groot’s First Steps)
When Groot grows too big for his planter, the onboard robots decide to kick him out off the table and replace him with another, much uglier tree. Of course, Groot doesn’t take this very well. The cutest part isn’t just his attempt at using his powers, but how he makes the choice to duke it out with another tree, as if it too is sentient like him.
Groot Sharing Food With a Tree (Groot’s First Steps)
Of course, Groot only acted out of anger and ultimately caused the tree to fall on the ground, shattering its planter. What’s adorable about this scene is Groot’s compassion and remorse. He and the tree are one in the same. So, he plants the tree again, covers it with a blanket and even shares some of his food with the tree.
Big Fluffy Bird-Anteater Creature (The Little Guy)
The struggles of building things, only to have someone ruin it. During the second episode of I Am Groot, Groot gets a hankering for building with twigs. Shortly after, Groot goes from a simple tepee to a fully-fledged tower. It’s an impressive feat that’s quickly taken over by a fluffy and adorable bird-anteater hybrid.
Discovering Tiny Life (The Little Guy)
In the same episode, The Little Guy, Groot also discovers incredibly tiny seemingly sentient life. If you thought Groot was tiny—these little lifeforms aren’t much bigger than a Tic-Tac. Their voices are tiny and charming, but in an adorable twist, they also have high-tech weaponry like laser guns and laser turrets.
Groot Using the Bathroom (Groot’s Pursuit)
One can only imagine how sweet it would’ve been seeing Rocket or the other crew teaching Groot how to use the bathroom. Every parent feels pride when their child gets it right. What’s so lovable about this moment is Groot enjoying a good book while doing his business.
