Disney has announced that it has made the second season of the Marvel Studios animated short series, “I Am Groot”, which is being released to everyone on the Marvel HQ YouTube channel, Marvel’s official family-friendly destination for kids.

The first short has been released on YouTube today and a new episode will be released each day this week. 

Released previously on Disney+ last year, the troublemaking twig returns to mischief in the second season of “I Am Groot.” This time, Baby Groot finds himself exploring the universe and beyond aboard the Guardians’ spaceships, coming face-to-face—or nose-to-nose—with new and colourful creatures and environments.

Throughout September and October, Groot will take the spotlight on Marvel HQ, as part of the Marvel’s Super Heroes Assemble program. Join over 8.8 million other YouTube subscribers around the world to celebrate with action-packed animated series, motion comics, short-form content, activations, and unique product collaborations all year long. Families and fans can also get a look at more original content featuring Groot, the Avengers, Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and more throughout the year, as well as full-length episodes from Marvel’s animation library, such as Marvel’s Avengers Assemble and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Maximum Venom (coming just in time for October’s Halloween season)!

Vin Diesel provides the voice of Groot in five all-new shorts. Kirsten Lepore, writer/director of season one, returns in the same capacity for season two. The supervising producer is Danielle Costa; producers are Craig Rittenbaum and Alex Scharf; executive producers are Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Kirsten Lepore. Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt is the co-executive producer.

The first two seasons of “I Am Groot” are also available to stream on Disney+.

Roger’s Take:  This continues the trend of Disney releasing more content on YouTube, which is now one of the main ways people consume television, so taking a series of shorts that have been available on Disney+ for over a year, isn’t really going to impact on Disney+, but allow more kids to discover this fantastic little short series.
