Baby Yoda, the informal name given to a tiny unnamed creature in the "Star Wars" universe, has unquestionably been the breakout star of the flagship Disney Plus show, "The Mandalorian."
Baby Yoda began disappearing from the popular GIF-sharing platform Giphy last week, however, with a message apparently saying the GIFs were removed "for copyright reasons." Some fans speculated either that Disney made a copyright claim about the GIFs or that Giphy preemptively removed them.
A Giphy representative told Gizmodo on Sunday night, however, that things had been sorted out.
"Last week, there was some confusion around certain content uploaded to GIPHY and we temporarily removed these GIFs while we reviewed the situation," the person told Gizmodo via email. "We apologize to both Disney and Vulture for any inconvenience, and we are happy to report that the GIFs are once again live on GIPHY."
Now, the GIFs have returned. Here are some great picks to send your friends.
The internet loves all things Baby Yoda.
You don't even have to be a "Star Wars" fan to appreciate the cuteness.
The director Werner Herzog called the creature "heartbreakingly beautiful."
