It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Guardians of theGalaxy. You saw my Halloween costume, right? Attempting the Rocket Raccoon
makeup was my favorite part. I think I’m going to dress up as a woodland
creature every year from now on. Daniel refused to be the Groot to my
Rocket, so I had to get creative…enter Baby Groot! That little guy has been so
popular that I still can’t find him in stores! No worries, though! When I
purchased the soundtrack, Rocket, and Star-Lord Pop figures at Walmart, I also placed an order for Baby Groot. He’ll join his pals soon enough. But don’t tell Daniel about his
gifts! My little comic book nerd will be so excited! And I decided to get
creative with the packaging, too.

I was a bit skeptical of the movie at first. When I saw the
preview, the animated characters made me think it was geared towards a younger
audience [see: Jar Jar Binks]. Rocket is small, yet feisty [ahem] and Groot is the strong, silent type. You can see how they quickly won me over! The movie is super hilarious, and the
throwback soundtrack only helps set the mood! I definitely went digging for my
walkman that same week. Also? Chris Pratt is one of my favorite comedic actors
– Parks and Rec! [Anyone remember him on Everwood? Serious days!]

The soundtrack also reminds me of the first days of school
this year. I played the music every morning in first period while I covered an
open position at work. Students looked up at me when the “ooga chacka
ooga ooga ooga chaka” would start. “Hooked on a Feeling” – that song gets me
every time! Soon they were tapping their pencils along to the beat.

Speaking of teaching: a few months ago I wrote a blog post
listing some great tips for teachers. I compared my jokes going over students’
heads to a scene in the movie about metaphors going over Trax’s head. “Nothing goes over my head. My
reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.” Watch the movie just for all of the quotes. They are good!

I can’t wait for the Guardians of the Galaxy DVD to come out
tomorrow! Daniel and I are big fans of super-hero flicks. They’re our favorite
to watch together and I’m already making plans to set up a movie night! If you
plan on picking up a copy at Walmart, grab a few Christmas gifts to go along
with it. They’re giving customers a $5 gift card when purchasing Disney Infinity 2.0 Groot,
Rocket, or Trax action figures [12/7-12/13].

Have you seen the movie? Did you absolutely love it?? 🙂

Thanks for sharing this!
I haven't seen the movie but now that you mentioned it, I am definitely adding it to my list.
I ♥ the little figures!!!
I purchased the soundtrack yesterday actually and my birthday is tomorrow and I'm going to pick it up after my birthday lunch so that I can stay in and watch it! I love that movie! Chris Pratt is at the top of my celebrity crush list right now too 😉 Star Lords personality reminds me so much of Han Solo. I love his character! I have a Star Lord doll on one of my movie shelves which I featured in one of my posts: http://ohrocky.blogspot.com/2014/09/man-crush-monday-chris-pratt.html
I just bought the movie for my son today because he has the flu, but I'm planning a big Guardians Christmas for him this year. I'm even thinking of veering him that direction for his birthday party in February. #client
