Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 was a film that had us reaching for tissues and getting a little sweaty as these fan reactions show. Animated characters delivered powerful performances that carried the story and delivered many of the emotionally charged moments of the film.

The core idea for
#RebelMoon
is still close to the concept Zack Snyder crafted as a student in the late ’80s: “It’s been literally on the back burner for a long time.”
We have had such a great time working with
@JamesGunn
over the years, and with
#GotGVol3
we were completely in sync with how the characters should move and behave. Gunn set the bar for Groot's dance moved and our artists worked to bring his spirit to the character in this scene.
