Why people love it

Groot's First Steps (2022) stuck because it commits to its animation premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Kirsten Lepore's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The animation and family blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
