Why would a dumpling come to live just before he was going to be eaten?
Why would it go though many personalities in just about a few days?
Why would it get married, get eaten alive and come back as a human?
Why do some people get mad when someone doesn't completely understand the short?It's not bad, just... weird.

This is a proud moment for Asians. Bao is directed by Domee Shi, the first woman to direct a Pixar short centred around a Chinese Mom & son! This is a heartwarming story that sweetly reflects both hilarious and fundamental traditions ingrained in every Chinese person near and far. On the surface it's a tear jerking prodigal son story which beautifully uses the beloved Chinese dumpling as a plot twisting metaphor. However, it also goes deeper into the problems immigrant families face when children grow up in North America and become westernized, they no longer share the same beliefs or value the traditions of their parents causing family clashes, and the son to run away. Who is wrong and who is right? Are such clashes inevitible? That's why this little short is so brilliant, because in a few minutes The audience gets to gain pretty deep insights into Chinese food, habits, beliefs, dilemmas, and strict traditions dating back thousands of years such as filial piety. In a Bao skin, I'd say this is a fantastic short film that will make you fall in love with Chinese dumplings whether you've had them before or not. And Chinese moms.Kudos to going with the Chinese name, Bao.
