GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Animated Origin Shorts For Star-Lord and Groot
Marvel has released the animated origin short films for their Guardians of the Galaxy animated series. The first short focuses on Star-Lord and the second centers on Groot, and it contains a lot of "I am Groot" dialogue. They are both two-part shorts, and they offer up some interesting background information on the characters as it pertains to the animated series. They aren't necessarily going with the origins of the comic books, but they are heavily inspired by the movie.
These shorts are a lot of fun to watch, and the animation is really well done. This is the best stuff we've seen from Marvel animation in a long time. The shorts have definitely given fans reason to be excited for the upcoming series, which is set to premiere on Saturday, September 26th at 9:30 PM ET on Disney XD.
