Bao

Story of a mother and her son. More realistic than you expect, rich nuanced, admirable crafted, using the perfect music and exploring each moment of the way from kid to adult. Charming , seductive, touching, admirable are only words in this case. In essence, a great short animation. The story reminds Little Tumbling but, in same measure, it is a splendid portrait of the essence of motherhood and that is its basic virtue. Short, just special. Or, pure delightful, for wise mix ox of smile and tears. Like each portrait of mother.

When a kind of stuffed dumpling begins to act human, a lonely mother raises it as a child. What is fun is that the thing begins to act in very human terms, showing defiance and sexuality. What transpires is Pixar's gift for 2018. The animation is so creative and so unique. See this Academy Award winner whenever possible.

This powerful little short film uses food to tell the story of guilt and family. Disney recently released this on YouTube and I can very easily recommend this gem.

Pixar knows how to touch your heart, even if the duration of the movie is only 8 minutes and even if there's no dialogue. The movie was heart-warming and so emotional (put tissues next to you), the movie has a powerful message adults and children will understand it and appreciate it.

Bao is a very cute short animation. I honestly didn't realize the protagonist was a woman until I looked at a discussion on Reddit but that shouldn't stop your attachment to the characters of the story. It was a nice opener for Incredibles 2 and the ending was surprising. Definitely worth a few minutes of your time and it will pull on your heartstrings. Yes you may cry and laugh and Domee Shi did a great job making a fun short.
