WATCH: Guardians of the Galaxy Animated - Star-Lord Origins

Marvel has released the first of five Guardians of the Galaxy Animated Shorts; this one featuring Star-Lord's origin. Although not part of the Marvel Cinematic Unvierse's continuity, the short film begins as kid Peter Quill is abducted by Yondu. The animation is so much better than what we've come to expect from Disney's other Marvel shows. The voice talent is great as well, including Boy Meets World's Will Friedle as Peter Quill (Star-Lord). Check out the videos below, and let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Every Saturday night in August, there will be a new short featuring a different Guardian's origin, leading up to the first full episode on Saturday, September 5th at 9:00 pm ET. So exciting!
