Guardians Vol. 2: Baby Groot Surprises Fans On Hollywood Boulevard

Marvel fans have had the chance to see Baby Groot on the big screen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but imagine if you ran into the adorable little guy on the streets of Los Angeles.

Thanks to creator Pavel Kacerle, that became a reality. Kacerle wanted to try out an idea he had for how Hollywood presents their movie premieres. In the past the studios have shared numerous photos and videos from their live events on social media, but what if there was a way to share all encompassing video from all locations at the same time on social media? Kacerle used his extensive background in visual effects work and knowledge from his friends over at Hurley FX to rig up the amazing Baby Groot RC vehicle you see above, complete with 360-degree camera. The camera can capture and broadcast full video, and it all comes from the point of view of little Groot.

While Baby Groot couldn't attend the premiere, he decided to delight fans on the streets of LA. All of the little details were more than appreciated by fans young and old, and you can see the little guy in action in the video above. Hit the gallery for some behind the scenes photos as well.

Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
