Groot – a sentient, alien-like tree creature – first appeared in the 1960 comic book Tales to Astonish, created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby. Fast forward to 2014 blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy and Baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) steals the show following the original Groot's death.
Having been ushered into hallowed pantheon of pop culture alongside the likes of Baby Yoda, Baby Groot has now scored its own Disney Original. I Am Groot is split into five episodes, each one lasting only a few minutes. The series is said to explore Baby Groot's "glory days growing up—and getting into trouble—among the stars".
