I AM GROOT returns for more mischief on Disney+

Groot is back with five new animated shorts exclusively on Disney+. Season 2 of “I AM GROOT” streams on Disney+ beginning Sept. 6, 2023. The new season of โ€œI AM GROOTโ€ features the voices of Vin Diesel as Baby Groot and Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher. “I AM GROOT” is written and directed by Kirsten Lepore.

Kirsten Lepore, who wrote and directed all episodes of the first season of shorts and returned in the same capacity for season two of โ€œI Am Groot.โ€ โ€œI find him to be such a relatable characterโ€”mischievous, fun-lovingโ€”but at the end of the day, heโ€™s always trying to do the right thing. Also, you donโ€™t have to worry about him getting mistranslated: He only has one line, but he conveys so much through the universal language of action and emotion.โ€

EPISODE LINEUP

Episode 1: โ€œAre You My Groot?โ€

Groot stumbles across a strange egg in a nest while exploring the alien planet of Terma. He instantly falls for the little creature that emerges when the egg cracks, adopting it ashis own. โ€œThis episode is very near and dear to me as the parent of a young kid,โ€ says Lepore. โ€œWe had a blast designing our bird characters, especially perfecting their goofy movements. Additionally, we had the pleasure of recording the legendary voice talent Dee Bradley Baker who single-handedly created all of our bird sounds.โ€

Episode 2: โ€œGroot Noses Aroundโ€

When Groot discovers a bionic nose-shaped device that grants him a sense of smell, he quickly learns not to stick his new nose where it doesnโ€™t belong. Says Lepore, โ€œWhen we pitched this episode idea, I thought for sure it would be too โ€˜out thereโ€™ for Kevin Feige and our EPs. I was thrilled when they picked it, mostly just to see what Groot would look like with a weird, cute nose on his face? The scene with the fragrant delights displayed across the banquet table is my favorite shot of this season.โ€

Episode 3: โ€œGrootโ€™s Snow Dayโ€

After landing on the icy planet of Falligar, Groot fashions a snowman with scraps of junk, inadvertently creating an unstoppable snowman-robot that wreaks havoc. โ€œWe had too much fun making this episodeโ€”and creating our snowman!โ€ says Lepore. โ€œThis was one of the last episodes to have the scoring completed, and I wasnโ€™t sure what the two songs for this episode would be. I was cheering and clapping the first time I got to hear them. Our music composer, Daniele Luppi, knocked it out of the park!โ€

Episode 4: โ€œGrootโ€™s Sweet Treatโ€

As an intergalactic ice cream truck approaches, Grootโ€”desperate to get a treatโ€”frantically scours the ship for coins. โ€œI very much relate to this as a kid growing up in the suburbs, constantly chasing ice cream trucks,โ€ says Lepore. โ€œIโ€™m really happy we got to use the classic ice cream โ€˜Entertainerโ€™ themeโ€”and then upgrade it into a ridiculous โ€˜90s club banger. Fun Fact: Thatโ€™s Mikky Ekko singing the final song that plays over the credits!โ€

Episode 5: โ€œGroot and the Great Prophecyโ€

In this adventure narrated by The Watcher, Groot finds himself in the heart of an ancient Drez-Lar temple with a mythic prophecy he must fulfill to save the universe. Says Lepore, โ€œAbsolutely loved recording Jeffrey Wright for this oneโ€”he was really incredible! The very last thing we did right before wrapping this season was to change up the ball-bouncing sound effects on the final mix stage. Felt good to add a whole new comedic layer in the 11th hour.โ€

YouTube player

Fans of season 1 are sure to enjoy this second set of animated shorts. All five episodes leaned heavily into Groot’s mischievous side. We could watch these shorts on replay endlessly. Season two produced more laugh out loud moments than season 1. Jeffrey Wright’s narration in Episode 5 felt like a shared monologue that we’ve all expressed when watching Groot’s hi-jinx in the past. “I AM GROOT” is suitable for every member of the household, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself giggling like a child along with the kids.

My only complaint about “I AM GROOT” is having to sit through the Marvel crawl five times consecutively. I understand that these are all official Marvel Shorts, but having to be reminded in each episode individually feels like overkill. Ultimately, “I AM GROOT” is a small invest of your time that will pay dividends in brightening your day. We are Groot!

About the Canada Pavilion

The Canada Pavilion at EPCOT provides guests with a delightful representation of Canada’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. The pavilion was designed to resemble a charming Canadian village, complete with cobblestone streets, gardens, and architecture reminiscent of Canada’s diverse regions, including the Victoria Gardens, which showcases beautiful seasonal plants and flowers.

The Canada Pavilion offers a serene and immersive experience. Guests can explore the pavilion at their own pace, taking in the picturesque scenery and enjoying some of the cultural and entertainment offerings. One of the highlights is the 360-degree Circle-Vision film attraction called “O Canada!”. The film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through Canada’s landscapes, showcasing its natural beauty and rich cultural diversity.

The Canada Pavilion is home to the highly-regarded Le Cellier Steakhouse, known for its delicious steaks and Canadian-inspired cuisine. The restaurant has a cozy, rustic atmosphere and often requires advance reservations due to its popularity. After dinner, a visit to the Northwest Mercantile and Trading Post shop is in order. Themed to resemble Canadian trading posts, the shop offers Canadian merchandise, including clothing, jewelry, and maple syrup.

The Mill Stage, located at the pavilion, frequently hosts Canadian musical acts and entertainment, providing visitors with a taste of Canadian culture through live performances.

Inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace, the Grand Hall aboard the Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s newest ship, draws on real-world influences from Asia and Africa and pays homage to the far-off land of Agrabah from Walt Disney Animation Studiosโ€™ classic tale, โ€œAladdin.โ€ (Disney)

Introducing the Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Line’s latest ship, featuring brand-new venues and reimagined familiar spaces designed to bring to life captivating stories from cherished Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, and Disney Parks adventures in an unprecedented way. Step into vibrant Mexican plazas, navigate winding rivers worldwide, and plunge beneath the ocean’s surface, among the many exciting experiences aboard the Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure - Grand Hall

Setting sail on its inaugural voyage, the Disney Treasure embarks on a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida, on December 21, 2024. Subsequently, it offers an inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral. Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members can secure their bookings for the Disney Treasure cruise as early as September 12, 2023, with bookings opening to all guests on September 20, 2023.

Disney Treasure

Throughout the ship, guests will encounter beloved spaces from the Disney Treasure’s sister ship, the Disney Wish, now transformed into thrilling adventures inspired by Walt Disney’s passion for exploration. From the bow to the stern, a world of Disney storytelling awaits around every corner, with themed spaces and live entertainment inspired by unforgettable tales such as “Aladdin,” “Coco,” and “Zootopia.”

Disney Treasure

โ€œThe Disney Treasure will bring brand-new stories to life, blending one-of-a-kind experiences with the extraordinary entertainment, world-class dining and unparalleled hospitality that make every sailing so memorable,โ€ said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. โ€œAs we chart a course for adventure, weโ€™re so excited for families to discover the excitement and exploration that awaits onboard the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.โ€

Brand New Dining & Entertainment Inspired by Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios

Adventures from the vibrant, heartfelt worlds of Disney and Pixar will lend inspiration for two venues onboard the Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure - Plaza de Coco

Plaza de Coco will be the first theatrical dining experience themed to the Disney and Pixar film, โ€œCoco.โ€ This theater-in-the-round entertainment venue will feature dining tables surrounding a central stage, with performances and show effects that will spread throughout the room. Guests will enjoy two different nights of unique dining experiences at Plaza de Coco during their voyage.

Disney Treasure - Plaza de Coco

On the first night, the story of Miguel and his familia will continue where it left off on screen as they gather in Mariachi Plaza to take guests on a colorful, music-filled journey that celebrates family memories and togetherness.

Disney Treasure - Plaza de Coco

On the second night, Miguel will reunite with his great-great-grandparents, Hector and Mama Imelda, by transporting them to Santa Cecilia with the help of his magic guitar for a Dรญa de los Muertos celebration. Both nights will feature a dinner menu of modern twists on traditional Mexican fare and a lineup of live entertainment.

Disney Treasure - Jumbeaux's Sweets

Next, the sweetshop, Jumbeauxโ€™s Sweets, will be reminiscent of the popular ice cream parlor, Jumbeaux Cafรฉ, from the bustling mammal metropolis featured in Disneyโ€™s โ€œZootopia.โ€

Disney Treasure - Jumbeaux's Sweets

Surrounded by playful pink interiors, Victorian-style architecture and an endearing sculpture of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, guests will be served humor and heart by the cone full. From bunnies and elephants to sloths and foxes, all are welcome to indulge in more than 20 flavors of handmade gelato, 16 flavors of ice cream and sorbets, specialty treats, candies and more.

Disney Theme Park Adventures on the High Seas

For the first time, the nostalgia and lore from beloved theme park attractions will come to Disney Cruise Line with a unique lineup of Disney Parks-inspired venues aboard the Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure - Skipper Society

Skipper Society, a themed lounge near the Grand Hall, will bring Disney Parksโ€™ iconic Jungle Cruise
attraction to sea for the first time. The venueโ€™s natural colorways and camp-style furnishings, paired with sly tributes to the trusty, dry-witted skippers, will offer an elevated, playful atmosphere.

Disney Treasure - Skipper Society

Guests will discover references to the famous attraction throughout the space, from a whimsical monkey-shaped chandelier to postcards and luggage tags brought back from travels abroad. Beneath a canopy of jungle foliage, guests will indulge in themed cocktails and light snacks and enjoy live entertainment.

Disney Treasure - Periscope Pub

Periscope Pub will become Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s first venue inspired by the spellbinding adventure of Walt Disneyโ€™s 1954 film, โ€œ20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,โ€ and the celebrated Disney Parks attraction that was open at Walt Disney World from 1971 to 1994.

Disney Treasure - Periscope Pub

The design of the submarine-style interiors will call upon 19th-century steampunk influences with polished metals and industrial touches. A mysterious window into the depths of the uncharted oceans along the ceiling will make guests feel like Captain Nemo on the Nautilus, while a decorative statement rug in the center of the space will honor Captain Nemoโ€™s fabled nemesis, the giant squid. This casual venue will be the ideal onboard locale for guests to unwind and watch live sports and news, while ordering from a menu of craft brews and light bites.

Disney Treasure-Staterooms-Tomorrow Tower Suite

Embracing the adventures of the future, the Tomorrow Tower Suite will capture the same forward-thinking mindset that inspired the Walt Disney World Resort theme park, EPCOT, with an energetic
design. Throughout the suite, dynamic art pieces, molten metal accents and futuristic, colorful glass accents will evoke the distinct atmosphere of EPCOTโ€™s World Discovery neighborhood.

Disney Treasure-Staterooms-Tomorrow Tower Suite

Set high in the shipโ€™s forward funnel, this one-of-a-kind suite will overlook the top deck of the Disney Treasure and glimpse the open horizon through an expansive two-story window. With nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, the Tomorrow Tower Suite will comfortably sleep eight guests and feature areas for eating, sleeping and playing, as well as other perks like a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.

Disney Treasure - Grand Hall

Classic Disney Adventures in Familiar Spaces

The Grand Hall will embody the shipโ€™s theme of adventure, with statues and dรฉcor that call on the
gilded palace and wonder of Agrabah from Walt Disney Animation Studiosโ€™ classic tale, โ€œAladdin.โ€ The space will serve as the shipโ€™s most prominent gathering space and will offer its own dedicated
entertainment moments and surprises.

Disney Treasure - Grand Hall

Just off the Grand Hall, two casual walk-up cafes will serve a selection of coffee, tea, specialty beverages, and snacks, with new themes that draw inspiration from two brave Disney Princesses, Moana and Mulan. Named for Moanaโ€™s trusty sidekick, Heihei Cafรฉ will echo the scalloped seashells and reflective blue waters of the Southern Pacific Isle of Motunui as it’s portrayed in Disneyโ€™s animated feature โ€œMoana.โ€ The venue will feature furniture stylings that pay homage to traditional construction techniques used by the Polynesian people to craft seafaring vessels.

YouTube player

Jade Cricket Cafรฉ, inspired by the classic Disney film โ€œMulan,โ€ will honor the Fa Familyโ€™s โ€œluckyโ€ cricket, Cri-Kee, who will be represented by a jade sculpture on the bar top. From the central moon gate to the plum blossom flowers adorning the walls, symbols of Mulanโ€™s strength, beauty and heritage will fill the cafรฉ, while the striking blue walls and metallic counters will be reminiscent of her armor.

Disney Treasure - Sarabi

Further, Sarabi, a central hub for a multitude of daytime activities and adult-exclusive evening
entertainment will evoke the natural beauty and openness of the savanna where its namesake, the
lioness matriarch from Disneyโ€™s โ€œThe Lion King,โ€ lived.

AquaMouse

AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg, Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s own attraction at sea, will plunge guests into the world of Mickey Mouse animated shorts. Suspended high above the upper decks, powerful jets will propel two-person ride vehicles through 760 feet of winding tubes, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the ship below.

Disney-Treasure-AquaMouse

Onboard the Disney Treasure, AquaMouse will introduce a new storyline that follows Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse on a zany misadventure into an ancient temple for a glimpse of the legendary treasure within.

Disney Treasure-Staterooms-Verandah Staterooms

The artful accommodations aboard the Disney Treasure will be inspired by classic Disney tales of
adventure. The 1,256 staterooms onboard will feature custom artwork and design elements that evoke the exploratory spirit of beloved Disney and Pixar films including โ€œAladdin,โ€ โ€œPocahontas,โ€ โ€œUpโ€ and โ€œEncanto,โ€ while the concierge and royal suites will bring to life the incredible character journeys โ€“ and some beloved feline sidekicks โ€“ from โ€œThe Lion King,โ€ โ€œThe Jungle Bookโ€ and โ€œAladdin.โ€

Disney Treasure-Staterooms-Raja Royal Suites

Finally, many Disney Cruise Line favorites will return to the Disney Treasure. In addition to an all-new stage production coming to the Walt Disney Theatre, โ€œBeauty and the Beastโ€ and โ€œDisney Seas the Adventureโ€ will thrill audiences with tales as old as time, while the upper decks will come to life with music and fireworks during the swashbuckling Pirateโ€™s Rockinโ€™ Parlay Party.

Beauty and the Beast

Worlds of Marvel and 1923 will round out the family dining rotation, while The Rose, Palo Steakhouse, and Enchantรฉ by Chef Arnaud Lallament will continue to wow adults with exceptional views, gourmet meals, and delicious beverages.

Palo Steakhouse

For kids of all ages, Disneyโ€™s Oceaneer Club, Edge, Vibe and Itโ€™s a Small World Nursery return provide designated space to let their imaginations run free under the guidance of Disney-trained counselors.
