Marvel has released an adorable video of Dancing Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Little baby Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel, is shown dancing to Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” The tiny Marvel character shakes his hips as Drax the Destroyer cleans of his knife. Check out the mini clip in the video below.
“Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn recently spoke to The Huffington Post about his creative process for the film. Fans particularly enjoyed the throwbacks featured in the film’s soundtrack.
According to Gunn, Marvel allowed him to the freedom to have fun with the source material in order to create a funny, unique story.
"I didn't expect them to allow me to change the format of the spectacle film to such a great degree," Gunn said. "The things that Marvel really seemed to like the most as I was developing the movie were the things that seemed to be the most outlandish to me.
“The use of 1970s pop songs, the fact that there was so much humor, the fact that I have a seven-page scene where the characters are arguing in the beginning of the third act, which is strange,” he added. ‘Those were all the type of things that I thought were going to probably just get mushed out of the eventual movie."
“Guardians of the Galaxy” grossed more than $160 million worldwide during their opening weekend. Since the film’s success, Marvel announced the “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” would be released to theaters on July 28, 2017.
For those unfamiliar with the film’s plot, check out Marvel’s synopsis below:
“An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
"To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy's fate in the balance.”
