Entertainment Tonight unveiled a new clip from a "Guardians of the Galaxy" animated short revealing the origin story of Star-Lord Peter Quill and how the hero first met his semi-father figure Yondu.

The clip is from a series of two-minute shorts telling the origin story of each member of the team, all leading up to the premiere of "Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy" animated series on September 26 on Disney XD.

Although not considered part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon, the animated series day share many similarities with the incredibly high-grossing and critically acclaimed live-action "Guardians" film. According to the official summary, the animated series follows the newly formed team as they find "a strange artifact keyed only to the DNA of Peter Quill. Upon opening it, Quill unleashes a treasure map leading to a powerful weapon known as the Cosmic Seed, which is capable of giving birth to the next universe."

The rest of the previewed short will air August 1 on Disney XD.
