- Director, Domee Shi, explains the conception of Disney•Pixar's Bao. Plus, the animated short's tribute to Chinese culture and Toronto.
See Disney•Pixar's Bao before Incredibles 2 when it comes to theatres starting June 15.
I just saw it yesterday. It REALLY is worth seeing. Its not just about a cute dumpling but about real life situations of a loving mother.
agreed,
I cried watching this. I loved it and found it very poetic lol
flurrynsw Me too. 😊
Also has some slight internet references
Nya Williams Yeah!! I cried a lot and it all made so much sense as the dumpling like a metaphor of how the mother felt about the son.
i thought my body was ready, but i cried manly tears to this short
waxitoto1234 same
waxitoto1234 Nothing wrong with that. it just shows then even a man can meet Touch by something heartfelt.
Had no idea about this short going into Incredibles 2... And I loved every second of it. Funny, heartwarming and all around adorable. I cant wait to see it again and I look forward to seeing what further magic the director has in store for us.
Well you can see it again and again for free on the Pixar channel right now. They've uploaded the entire thing. I think it might get taken down soon though since a lot people think they only uploaded to get more traction upon being nominated for an Oscar
When we watched it, the entire theater clapped. And it is very relatable to a chinese family, I’m happy they finally made a short telling a story in our perspective.
JustanAmateur yeah Alex I’ll take shit that never happened for $200
Chinese culture is extremely family oriented, so I can assume this is a powerful representation of Chinese virtue and cultural values.
My stepmother is from Taiwan, and has been helping me learn Mandarin, and teaching me about the Chinese culture. So, I find shorts like these not only fascinating, but informative, as it is a lens into the life of a family of Chinese descent.
she's incredible and THIS was incredible
Jojo Ashun heh heh
I cried in the literal first few seconds when her husband left to work and she had to eat alone
Angela Ngo SAME
Lol
I had no idea that this was going to be played before Incredibles 2, but my gosh, this was one of the most heartwarming and relatable stories I have ever seen. It's incredibly exciting that Pixar is highlighting many diverse experiences.
the theater lost it with this short, so great! And the baby dumpling is the most adorable thing ever!
yeah, well the people in the theatre of course ha.Half shouting what the heck, and half at the same time laughing our butts off, but then we're crying by the end, quite a little roller coaster of emotions this little short.
oh, it was the AMC at Disneywalk
ok ur just messin with me now, and where did your comments go, now it looks like I'm talking to myself
I loved it!!!! Cried like a baby! It’s reality. 😢
Sillycha kids same, ive never cried in a movie but this did the trick
Bao..Made me shed some tears thinking about my mom..
This short film was heart warming & humbling. No matter your ethnic background you can feel the characters pain & love.
saw it today and made me cry sooooo much!!! A wonderful job well done. Incredibles 2 was amazing and this short was a perfect fit before the movie. It was wonderfully created, the animation was phenomenal and the plot was one of the best!!!
This short kind of freaked me out while watching it (specifically that part at the climax, which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it yet). But when I thought about it and realized the symbolism, it became so sad and beautiful to me.
Marvel Disneyfan no ones gonna know about this short until they watch it. Lol
I went today to watch the incredibles 2 and saw this small animation i almost cried cause the poor mom was sad cause the son (dumpling) was slowly abandoning her :(
This is a beautifull short, specially a great lesson for parents, loved it
Very good job! I am a Chinese who lives in Toronto. Seeing those familiar vivid Toronto environment and the culture and spirit that this short feel reflects, I feel so touching!
Bao (包) also has similar pronunciation (in Chinese) of 寶 (treasure, or "pearl in the palm" or "apple in someone's eyes"). I just thought that it was such an awesome coincident (maybe it was named intentionally?) which gave the name of this short film another huge punch...
so true about chinese parents and how they express their love for their children. being asian and having parents who could cook and owned a chinese restaurants, that was how it was done. it's a very cultural thing.
This short film made me cry so much. Thank you for the little movie.
It really resonated with me because i am about to become a college freshman and these past few months i realize how much my parents really love me! There could not be a better time in life for me to have seen the clip! :)
it was so touching so much different feelings in such short time
thank you for that bao and trunig red we love your videos thank you domee shi im cryying hard thank you for that two ;]
The short kind of stayed with me even after a day later. So heartwarming and cute. The director is so talented. I kind of wish I could see a Bao movie or at least another bao short. The mom character was also super adorable. Incredibles 2 turned out to be a great movie. It says a lot about it that even it's short was great. Everyone should be giving themselves pats on the back.
this short made me cry so fucking much i was gasping
I loved this film made me cry. I hugged my son and held his little hands...
Beautiful and heartwarming without being syrupy , Oscar for sure
I cried like a baby when the son came back home 😭😭😭 love this short, Im sure many people relate to this.
My boyfriend and I cried watching the corto. We felt identified with it :')
I saw it at the DCA Short Film Festival last week. I loved it! It was a beautiful film ❤️ such a touching relatable story. Made me cry 😢
Wouldn't it be cool if she came up with a movie about puberty and turning into a red panda? Yeah I'd watch that. 😋
WHILE everyone was laughing, Bao hit me hard, I was in tears almost
This short brought tears to my eyes! I love it! Bao is a nickname that I love so much!❤
You know she love Anime too.
Honestly, Bao was worth the price of admission alone. Luckily for me, Incredibles 2 was just as amazing. These two films left the happiest I've ever been walking out of a cinema in years. And that's not hyperbolae.
THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING SHORT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
This really hits close to home with my life and the relationship with my grandma
I went to watch the incredibles 2 today and when this came on I felt weird and confused and when it ended I felt like I saw something made with nothing but love and Quality. I love it!
I really liked this animation short got me in the mood for an fun movie
When she ate it idk why i started laughing so hard
I think everyone did.... because it's morbid and awkward
INTERNET FLASHBACKS
Triniti Mckinney sameeeee
I was more like "holy shit" kinda shocked when she ate the kid.
yeah same and then i was like oooooooh when the actual son arrived
This is the reason of why I love to be a film director!
Such a great short, I really wish I could have a feature length as a short is great but would love more unique and diverse stories.
I related so much to Bao. It was amazing
I saw this yesterday while at Incredibles 2 it was absolutely adorablr
I was sad when she eat the dumpling
the food looked so good in this short
Thank you for this wonderful short!
I almost cried watching the film
I loved this short. ❤️❤️❤️
You did a really good job Shi
This movie is going to be set in Toronto? Yesssss
There was a Canadian flag drawn in crayon on the fridge and one of the characters wears a Raptors jersey. I didn't quite know what the connection was until I got home and looked this up. I had thought that maybe the short was animated at Pixar's short-lived Vancouver studio and they were only just now releasing it for whatever reason.
TBustah in another season the CN tower was also in the background
TBustah that character was wearing Vince Carter’s number too!!!!
It's the CN tower and the Dundas streetcar!
I was bawlling like a BABY while watching, my dad had to take me to the washroom.
i can’t be the only one who cried watching this 😭💦💦💦
This shit better win an Oscar.
I literally Started crying crocodile tears
BTW I am Cantonese 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰 Main thing why I love it! Love from HONG KONG 🇭🇰
I think there is more humor in the name of this film than even the director may have intended. Since bao 包 (the steamed dumpling) and bao 寶 (jewel but also baby) are actually pronounced with two different tones, I'll assume any word pronounced "bao" is fair.
Bao 包 itself can also mean to encircile, wrap, put into a package. This may point to the mother's wish to keep her son penned in. Bao written 飽 can mean "to be full" after one has eaten, so maybe it also means that the mother felt very full after she ate him. Bao written 抱 means to hug, which she does a lot in this film. Bao written 保 means to protect, and she certainly wants to protect him from the world. I could go on.....
Wow you are good. How’d you know all these?
Please don't go on.
@@Yupyupyuppy he knows chinese.
Although, I am not a very emotional person or thats what I like to think at least, this almost had me in joy, laughing and almost in tears and emotionally unprepared for the Incredibles 2 movie 😂I was like, "how are you going to put me straight into a movie after watching this?!?!?!" 😂😂😂
beautiful work!
I thought bao is a steamed bun ? I love the short film though ! Wonderful ! I have one son and I know one day I have to let him go ! :( I will continue to cook for him and give him all my affection! He looks like a curly hair sheep but his girlfriend made him cut those precious curls! Thank God he will always have love for his mom ! We saw this together and he laughed and said ,"Hey mom that 's you! " I said to him," you wont forget your mom will you?" He answered with a hug ,"NEVER!" :' )
Bao is indeed steamed bun. People are misidentifying it as dumpling, which is pronounced more like "Sui-Jiao" or "Jiao-Zhi" depending on where you're from.
Nathaniel Dance but also, 小笼包 i.e. small dragon bun is a Shanghainese dumpling that looks exactly as the ones in the movie.
Bao actually just means “wrap around” literally, so it can be used to describe a wide range of foods
ruclips.net/video/3gv805Yvms0/видео.html
In Taiwan where I grew up Xiaolongbao had to be steamed in a basket with a specific thin cloth underneath them, not a lettuce leaf as was depicted here; also, the people in the film gobbled them up pretty quickly while that'd be ill-advised since they're filled with hot fluid in real life, so I doubt that they are xialongbao.
I was late to the theatre and missed the actually short film. I've had to watch clips on yt and am hoping to see the movie again specifically to watch the short film. It's the first short film directed by a woman and I'm so proud it's in theatres
Domee Shi's gotta make a feature
She did, Turning Red
@@CarbyGuuGuu Yeah, finally
toronto , cn tower, China town. yes. it would be nice to visit again. someday.
I love this film 😄
I need a Bao plush toy now 😍
This vid has 1k hearts cause of me because it was on 999 before
first time watching this, got scared when that kid dented the bao' s head. second time, when I showed my mom, I laughed my head off. don't know why tho
Domee Shi que filme lindo !!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
I CRIED WHILE WATCHING IT
SO CUTEEEEE!!!
I loved this short
so super cute!!!!
妳的影片真的很感動！😭😭😭加油💪🏻
she is smart.
Very cute short film and I understand the overprotective mother thing but the part where she eats the dumpling/her grownish child, is the only part I dont quite understand.... But I'm really enjoying these shorts coming out over the past cpl years in that they are steeped in each makers personal experience and cultures.
It's about the Chinese saying "I'd rather give birth to a bun than give birth to you" that Chinese parents say to their bad children. Her eating the bun symbolizes this message, that she knew there was nothing she could do about her real life child, and if the child was a bun she could just eat it and at least solve hunger. It's about the helplessness as a mother. The bun was simply used as a metaphor throughout the story, and her child was a real human being.
I love her
I watched this today at the cinimas watching incredibles 2
That dumpling looks like Open(From 7-Eleven) or Qoo.
I am definitely eating bao tomorrow, well, two at least
I loved this short, but when she ate the thing holy fuck that was some interesting *_vore_*
how many cried and wanted to see the writer?
the whole cinema was laughing at this, we were just laughing at the mom eating her son
This movies close to home ..it's every Asian family ..not just Chinese ..
I watch this today and this is sad;) from. Incredibles 2
Tbh my whole theater probably thought they were on drugs.
Josh Vinson what theatre?
Also, weeb.
I can’t wait 😊
So nice flim
Me to i wanted a little dumpling
make more!!!
I don’t cry in long movies but I can almost cry in a few minutes...
This movie is actually very disturbing not kidding.. didn’t know if I wanted to cry or laugh
Ok I'm Chinese... And I was very confused about this story.... What was the premise??
I'm Eating a few pork bao while watching this. Anyone else?
小笼包
To be honestly, as a Chinese live in Beijing, this short has no emotional connection with me and my friends, even most of the audience in the movie theater, it's a American Chinese family story maybe. Hollywood storytellers has a strange confidence and narrow methodology to tell stories of other cultures they never pay real attention.They just focused on the "differences" instead of "root".
However, I still feel happy and proud that a Chinese Storyteller can direct a short film at my favorite animation studio.Congratulations！
No it shows how desensitized Modern mainland Chinese people are and how much of their culture has been lost. This should have hit right in the heart, not in the brain.
Hello we are all confused. Plz help
I just saw Incredibles II today and I was confused about why this was in the movie
Just ate spicy buns yesterday
After seeing BAO, actually I have a question that may seem a little bit wired...I've been wondering Domee's parents are from the north of China or the south of China.....
Hot water for 50c wwwwwwwhhhhhhhaaaattttttt lol
I watched it, recently, with my Mom. We didn't really understand what "BAO" was about. I didn't even know that the one caring for the dumpling was a mother. We didn't understand why she ate the dumpling in the end. That and a real copy of the dumpling showing up the next day. Someone, I know, claimed that it has something to do with family in Chinese culture. Usually Pixar shows a funny short, like in the Ice Age movies with the squirrel chasing a nut.
I cried like a little bitch
How do you interpret [spoilers] the part where she ate it and then a real son came to life? That bao became a real life living son? Or was that just a metaphor and she had a real life son all along?
Paul She had a son all along. The bao was just a way to communicate that.
metaphor.
