Chris Pratt thinks 'Guardians of the Galaxy' will inspire the number one Halloween costume this year.
The 35-year-old actor - who plays Peter Quill in the new superhero blockbuster - is confident that younger viewers will love gun-wielding talking raccoon Rocket so much, they will all want to dress as him when the spooky holiday comes around on October 31.
He told MTV News: "I think there are going to be a lot of people dressed up as Rocket this Halloween, a lot of kids."
The 'Parks and Recreation' actor believes that, though Rocket is essentially there for comic relief, the creature's uniqueness also contributes to "dramatic reality" within the movie.
"This thing, as funny as it is to have a little talking raccoon with a machine gun running around being an a-hole, what really carries you through is the dramatic reality that there's nothing else in the universe like him."
Chris is astonished by the quality of the computer-generated imagery (CGI) that has been used in the movie because it is so realistic.
He also said: "This is CG unlike anything that I've ever seen before, it's so real."

Kelly Osbourne "s**t herself" when she read the brief for a recent magazine photoshoot.
The 'Fashion Police' host was "honoured" to be approached by Herring&Herring to be photographed by Dimitri Scheblanov and Jesper Carlsen but was stunned to learn they wanted to picture her surrounded by naked people.
She said: "When I was first approached by Herring&Herring with the opportunity to work with two of my favorite photographers, Dimitri Scheblanov and Jesper Carlsen, I automatically said yes. I felt so honored. About two weeks later, I received the final concept and story board sent over to me and I s**t myself because it was a photoshoot where everybody was to be naked except me."
Kelly admits she was most concerned that she wouldn't be able to stop "staring" at the models' genitals and initially got the giggles when she stepped on set.
She added on her blog: "I'm not one to go back on my word so I took sometime to mentally prepare for an awkward shoot. What if I got the giggles? What if someone had an awkward-looking private part that I couldn't stop staring at? But knowing who I was working with I took a leap of faith.
"The day of the shoot I walked in sweating with nerves. I sat down to start hair and make-up and just as I had feared got a case of the giggles."
However, the 29-year-old star eventually realised she was being "ridiculous" and learned a lot from the shoot.
She said: "But after Dimitri and Jesper were so welcoming and introduced me to all of the models, I suddenly realized how ridiculous I was being ... as it takes a brave and confident woman who in my eyes must be so comfortable with their body to stand in front of a room full of people they don't know, in the name of art.
"This experience went from terrifying to inspirational and gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for self-confidence."

Britain's Prince Charles joined 1,400 people at a First World War commemoration service in Glasgow yesterday (04.08.14).
The prince - who is known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland - was joined by dignitaries from around the Commonwealth for the centenary service at Glasgow Cathedral to remember the way the "world changed" when the Great War began in 1914.
Opening the service, Reverend Laurence Whitley said: "We meet because on a summer's day like this one, one hundred years ago, the world changed. Our nations and peoples found themselves in a war the like of which had never before been seen and the memory of which still haunts us all."
Newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald introduced several readings at the service, which included diary entries written during the war by serving soldiers, and UK Prime Minister David Cameron read out a bible passage.
Trevor also paid tribute to the those from around the Commonwealth who fought in the conflict.
He said: "During the years to come we shall rightly hear more of the courage and suffering of our forces in the conflict, but especially as this city has known the privilege of welcoming our Commonwealth brothers and sisters to the Games just past, it is right to pause now to remember their contribution."
Charles and Mr. Cameron then attended a reception at the City Chambers, where they laid wreaths and were introduced to the family of Glaswegian soldier Henry May, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for saving a comrade in France in October 1914.

Britain's Prince William warned of "instability" in Europe in a speech yesterday (04.08.14).
The second-in-line to the throne addressed dignitaries in Liege, Belgium at a World War One commemoration service and suggested conflict in the Ukraine is not just a localised war, but a battle which will impact on the whole of Europe.
He said: "Edith Cavell was a British nurse who saved soldiers from each side.On the night before she faced a German firing squad she said, 'I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.'
"It took another terrible war to learn the truth of her words, and even today we continue to learn that lesson.
"The events in Ukraine testify to the fact that instability continues to stalk our continent."
However, William went on to praise "the power of reconciliation" and paid tribute to the war dead.
He added: "The fact that the presidents of Germany and Austria are here today, and that other nations - then enemies - are here too, bears testimony to the power of reconciliation.
"We were enemies more than once in the last century, and today we are friends and allies. We salute those who died to give us our freedom. We will remember them."
