That is every bit as cute as you would expect from a Pixar film that sees a dumpling come to life.
The baby dumpling is even more adorable than I imagined a baby dumpling could be, and it is clear that this short will probably lean into the more emotional side of the Pixar spectrum.
The dumpling will grow up fast, as dumplings do, and the mother has to learn to accept that even the cutest baby dumpling will eventually grow up into… a slightly larger dumpling(?).
Bao has a fun premise that is both cute and will assuredly pull on your heartstrings, as Pixar is so wont to do.
