Incredibles 2 might’ve been one of the biggest movie releases of the year, but its accompanying short film Bao was so wonderful that it couldn’t help but steal some of the spotlight.
Likely due to the overwhelmingly warm reception and the short film just making the Oscar shortlist, Disney-Pixar has made the film available on YouTube for the next week. We highly recommend you watch it, especially if you can handle being emotional for a few minutes. Directed by Domee Shi, Bao focuses on an aging Chinese mom suffering from empty nest syndrome. Empty nest syndrome refers to the experience of parents, guardians and caretakers feeling sadness, depression and even grief after children come of age and leave their nest, learning to make their own way.
