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 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 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.

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.
