Low level violence

This series features playful action, including some mild scuffles, cartoonish explosions, and moments where characters get gently squished.

• Groot playfully tussles with tiny alien lizards, which spill a bit of green goo in a harmless, comedic way.
• He gleefully interacts with ant-sized creatures, creating tiny whirlwinds by blowing on them and occasionally squishing a few in a light-hearted manner.
• A robot snowman, which may seem a little spooky to very young viewers, later takes off into the sky and bursts into a dazzling display of fireworks.
