Low level violence

This animated series features some low level violence, including cartoonish explosions, and moments where characters get gently squished.

• Groot playfully fights with tiny alien lizards in a comedic way.
• Groot interacts with ant-sized creatures, creating tiny whirlwinds by blowing on them and occasionally squishing a few.
• A robot snowman may frighten very young viewers. At one point, it takes off into the sky and bursts into a dazzling display of fireworks which may be upsetting.
