What Is Baby Groot Shimeji?
A Shimeji (しめじ) is a tiny desktop mascot that lives on the edge of your screen. The idea started as a Japanese desktop-pet program and Shimeji Buddy brings it to the browser. Baby Groot Shimeji is our films buddy inspired by Baby Groot. It uses a hand-drawn sprite sheet with walking, climbing, falling, sitting and special animations, so it looks like a real little animation rather than a static sticker.

About Baby Groot
Baby Groot, the tiny sapling version of the Guardians of the Galaxy hero, stole the show with his dance scene and his one line: 'I am Groot'. Baby Groot Shimeji dances whenever music-related pages are open, waters himself when idle and grows a small flower on his head after a long session. Click him for a wave and a speech bubble that says exactly what you expect.
