It was such a touching short film 🥹🤧 It goes to show us that despite our parents wanting us to be independent, when we decide to leave and face our own lives, they begin to miss us even before we leave. I wish it was longer, though. Beautifully presented 😘💯

'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.

1. When she bit the dumpling and it started to cry.... I just lost my appetite to eating dumplings ever again. 2. How "he" treats his mom. It's just plain disrespectful, without any explanation why he acts in that manner. 3. When she ate her "son", to stop him leaving her. Just ew. And way to parent *smh* At the last minute, we finally got to understand what was actually happening with her and her actual son. So it doesn't make any sense to me, why they had to tell the story with a dumpling.
