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.

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.

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.

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.
