I am 30 year old man.

I have made my mother's life a living hell for my entire life. I moved out when I was 18 and got a place with my girlfriend of the time.

I could tell she sensed " something " about her but being a naive, self-serving fool, I stupidly told myself that the girl was more important. I wasted the next two years of my life on that girl, always holding to that stubborn frame of mind.

Just after my 20th birthday I got into trouble. Long story short, I did something i never should have more or less because I had the girl on my mind. I landed myself in prison, luckily only for two years.

I then got out only to learn that that girl had robbed me for everything I had, and she had also broken in to my moms house and robbed her, Stole my mothers last remaining memory she had of HER mother, her wedding ring.

I had spent those two years rethinking my life and my path, and felt I was going to get out and do things right, I just KNEW I was going to succeed.

I have struggled ever since, still ever so stubborn, made many stupid decisions between then and now.

I'm not sure what I am trying to say here but j guess it is a bit like this.

Don't take your mother or father for granted. You will realize how much they mean to you once you've gotten to the point of no return.

This little short reminded me of that.

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.

Pixar and Disney really ought to merge with Kleenex ... they just know how to get you right in the feels! Being Asian and the mom of two boys this got me ... a very well done short showing what it's like when your child grows up and how hard it is to let go.

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.

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.

'BAO': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

Another Pixar computer-animated short film, which plays before 'INCREDIBLES 2' in theaters. This one tells the story of a lonely Chinese mother, who suffers from 'empty nest syndrome', and then finds a homemade dumpling, that she made, which comes to life and gives her another chance to be a mother. Of course what's fun at first also grows older, and grows away once again (just like a child). The short is a modern reimagining of the classic folktale 'The Gingerbread Man'. It's about 8-minutes long, and it was directed by Domee Shi (the first woman to direct a Pixar short). I found it to be charming and refreshingly odd. It's also (of course) beautifully animated, and the music (by Toby Chu) is equally beautiful as well. I didn't feel the emotion of it quite as much as a lot of other Pixar shorts though (or as much as it seemed like the filmmakers wanted me to). It is an enjoyable and well made little short film still though.

I didn't feel the emotion of it quite as much as the filmmakers wanted me to, but it's funny, beautifully animated, and has a good message.

(7/10)

I commend this Pixar short that came before Incredibles 2 for being different and more ambitious than previous shorts. However, it never quite gelled with me.

Bao does have the most heartfelt ending of all Pixar shorts and some distinctive character designs, I'll give it that. But, the overall gimmick was too weird for me. (I don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen this yet. This is is one of those situations where less info. is definitely more.) It doesn't help that the ending takes a moment to figure out. And that's for adults. Children will probably be confused. There is one moment that I found disturbing and may frighten some kids. Although a lot of people in the theater laughed at that, so it probably depends on who's watching.

I love that someone else mentions it's a metaphor. That's brilliant! I didn't think of that. This was very sweet & shocking with a great message!

This short almost had me in tears, which RARELY happens. Every thing about it pulled on my emotions in just the right way. The music was incredibly conducive to the message. Here I was, waiting for a fun day of Incredibles, and then this short caught me off guard and had me rethinking my whole relationship with my mother. This short will make you cry, and make you think. A beautiful ending was the icing on the cake.

I would HIGHLY recommend taking just a few minutes out of your day to watch this short, you will not regret it.

This is not only for kids and I see Domee Shi's heart. Parents see their kids as dumplings. You will need to explain it to your kids to make them understand the feeling behind our being parents. I loved it, I call my girl my little meatball, (polpetta) in italian. We see our kids as ours and forget that they need to be themselves to be happy, we would protect them for ever. It is wonderful to see this feeling expressed without words and in a way that speaks directly to the soul. We need to remember that our kids are a big part of our life and that it becomes vital to keep them in our lives regardless of our ideas that do not match with our love for them.

This short film is ostensibly about a little Chinese bread bun but is about so much more. It is primarily set in a Chinese family living in Toronto but the themes are universal and to do with growing up and family relations. In reality, the bun is just how the mother sees the son - her fragile little creation! The emotional expressions and relationships between the characters are what really make this short film great.

This was a Pixar short shown before the studio's feature of Incredibles 2 in theatres. It seems to involve a Chinese adult dealing with "empty nest" syndrome as she makes a dumpling that resembles her offspring who grew apart from her as it grew up. Directed by Domee Shi, this was quite amusing and touching. So that's a recommendation of Bao.

Bao is a good animated short film with a nicely developed plot and some stand out moments. It is a very sweet, quite a different short for Pixar as we follow a mother bond with a dumpling that comes to life, giving her a second chance of motherhood. It definitely explores deep, emotional themes while staying humourus and kid friendly, exactly what Pixar does best.

I will say that the film did not impact as much as some of Pixar's other shorts, one of the main reasons being I found myself trying to figure out what was going on for too long. I did not understand why it was a dumpling, and there probably was not a specific reason, but having it be a piece of food that comes to life just confused me, and I avoided connecting with the piece cause I felt like he was going to get eaten.

Sweet and well animated. Bao is not my favourite of Pixar's work, but it is certainly unique and definitely worth a look.

A mother whose son has left the nest gets a second chance when a dumpling comes to life.

First, thank you Domee, for continuing the long tradition of breathtaking Pixar shorts. I cried. The last time I remember crying because of a movie was during Up

If you didn't grow up in an Asian/maybe immigrant environment, this will be hard to get, at least the way it's portrayed, but for those of us who grew up with this, it hits very deeply.

10/10. If you don't understand this, watch this with an Asian American friend of yours. There's also plenty of articles floating around on the internet as well explaining it.
