Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 65 /100

Critical reception for I Am Groot is generally positive, with reviewers praising the series for its high-quality animation and endearing, bite-sized storytelling. Many critics commended the non-verbal acting and visual presentation, noting that it maintains the standard of the film franchise without feeling like a cheapened adaptation.

However, some reviewers expressed mixed feelings regarding the extremely short runtime of the collection, leading to accusations that the series lacks substance. While fans of the character and younger audiences appear to appreciate the charming, chaotic nature of the shorts, more critical observers felt the project was ultimately too slight to leave a lasting impact.

“Bursting with cuteness, laughs, and vibrant colors, I Am Groot is an entertaining must watch series on Disney Plus.”

“A sly, bratty series of shorts featuring everyone's favorite temperamental tree dude.”

“The “TV” version of Groot does not feel like a cheap out from the big screen version.”

“The shorts are fun and they are cute, but with the full running time of all the episodes amounting to twenty minutes, it is hard to call this much of anything.”

Why fans love it

This 2022 animated series offers a lighthearted, short-form comedy detour within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead of centering on massive galactic threats or heavy superhero drama, the show focuses entirely on the mischievous toddler years of Baby Groot as he grows up, explores the galaxy, and lands in continuous minor trouble among the stars.

With Vin Diesel providing the voice for the pint-sized lead, the series relies on fast-paced visual gags and playful sci-fi and fantasy scenarios designed to entertain kids and family audiences alike. The main appeal lies in its quick, self-contained format, taking a recognizable character out of larger team dynamics and placing him in bite-sized solo adventures that require no prior investment in complex franchise lore.
