Regular
Baby Groot is in space, sitting in a cup. He looks like a tiny tree. After yawning and waking up, some robots give him a bath and dry him off. He picks a leaf off his arm and eats some snacks. When his cup cracks, the robots replace him with a small tree and take his blanket away. Feeling angry and jealous, Groot throws something at the tree, but it bounces back and hits him. His arms stretch out long, and he tries to pull the tree with them, but it is too heavy. He swings over to the tree, landing on his face. Frustrated, he punches the tree and breaks a branch. Both Groot and the tree fall to the ground and break. This is when Groot discovers his feet. He tries to walk but falls on his face. He then crawls and eventually learns to walk and run.
Advanced
In the vast expanse of space, Baby Groot resides in a small cup, resembling a miniature tree. Upon waking and yawning, robots attend to him, giving him a shower and drying him off. Groot plucks a leaf from his arm and munches on some snacks. When his cup fractures, the robots replace it with a potted tree and confiscate his blanket. Overcome with anger and jealousy, Groot hurls an object at the tree, only for it to rebound and strike him. His arms elongate dramatically as he attempts to pull the tree, but it's too heavy to move. Swinging towards the tree, he lands awkwardly on his face. In frustration, he punches the tree, breaking off a branch. Both he and the tree tumble to the ground, shattering. At this moment, Groot discovers his feet. He makes an initial attempt to walk, resulting in a faceplant. Determined, he crawls and eventually masters walking and running.
