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.

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.

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 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.
