Just been shortlisted for the Academy Award, and to celebrate, Disney and Pixar have made the stunning Bao available online to stream for FREE. The short, which accompanied Incredibles 2 in cinemas in 2018, will be available on YouTube for one week online. Enjoy :)
Credit to HUKD for the find.
Thanks I downloaded a copy
What program people using these days to download YouTube? Or do u have premium?
Plenty of options but I prefer http://jdownloader.org/ for all my downloading needs as its open source and free and very powerful.
@Vyviel: In the past, a video was just one file. Now it's broken up it chunks. Does this cater for that? I collect music videos off YouTube, and I haven't been able to download anything for the last year or so.
@BadGiraffe: Yeah it does and its constantly updated. You can either download the full video or an audio version. It can automatically discover downloads when you copy the videos URL to your clipboard.
Works for most other sites too.
@Vyviel: Is there any way to download videos from fb live or fb video uploads? In the past i had videos in groups that were great memories but a after leaving said groups lost access.
@SaberX: Have never tried but it seems that plugin doesnt currently work

They did suggest using getfbvideo.net in that thread but I have never used it.
I use youtube-dl
@booboo: Seconding youtube-dl. Ironically it supports a crazy number of websites these days, not just YouTube. Very well maintained too.
How much did it cost before?
The cost of a movie ticket.
The cost of the Incredibles 2 BluRay.
the cost of usenet
I saw this playing after we arrived late to see Incredibles 2 and thought we walked into the wrong cinema lol
Haha we did the same !!!
Don't watch it with kids under 5. my daughter was scared and cried. I don't want to spoil it, but one scene is hard for them.
Thanks for the heads up @ggzdwy
it confused the hell out of my kid, lol
I just watched it twice in a row with my 1 year old daughter. She loved it. Methinks you need to teach your kids a bit of dark humour…
My 6 month old daughter is a big Tarantino fan, she particularly likes Inglourious Basterds.
I bet she gets all the nuances of Black Mirror episodes as well.
Have you started her on A Clockwork Orange yet or are you going to wait until 12 months like the sage gentleman above?
The movie is criticising new generation for not following the chinese traditional culture…… It "touches" a lot of older generation people for not passing down the good culture
lol that is not what the short is about. Did you miss the part where they reconciled at the end?
@ippy: Where it was the son's responsibility to pursue forgiveness for wanting to be his own person? There's a reason a lot of people who have had tiger parents found this short rather traumatising.
Yeah my one year old didn't understand things enough to get frightened.
That will start to change.
My 6 years old cried like a baby watching this as he thought the mother was a cannibal. Ain't watching this again with him in a hurry.
Which scene? (PM me)
My 6 y.o. daughter was shocked, then she said “That’s savage!” and then proceeded to laugh.
Bao movement
Bao down
Bao wow.
Bao chicka wow wow
Bao baby bao bao
How Bao brown Bao
a very adorable short film, giggles were had.
Oh the academy awards nominations have been released?
Waiting for the For Your Consideration releases.
I love this short film !
Thank you for the find and share :)
Loved it
Thanks for sharing
That was Beautiful - Thanks!
Mumma's Bao Boy would of been a better title.
Edit. About a Bao, Bao Meet World, Baohood, Bao in Progress.
I guess you didn't work out Bao also means baby in Chinese, so the name is perfect.
Is every free short on YouTube a bargain now?
This isn't a bargain its a freebie ;)
The movie has a deeper meaning about how caring and protective Chinese mothers are and the cultural conflict they face with their children growing up in western societes. You have to let your kids take risks (the football scenes, straying away), you have to accept they want to live a life which might be different to the norms you expect of them (going out partying with friends, going into his room invading their 'privacy', western girlfriend who does not get your approval, and the worst, moving out because you do not approve of his way of life !) The scene she swallowed him was the feeling as if she had never gave birth to her son who was so rebellious towards her but she regretted and got upset of what she did to him.
The last scene was that she woke up from her 'dream', her son came back and want to make peace with her, you CAN still have a western daughter in law who become part of your family and live harmonious with you.
I personally love this film sand no, i dont think it is for young children !
All due respect, but your comment belongs in the youtube movie comments. Posted here is kind of a spoiler.
Overanalyzing…
Seemed bang on to me.
You need to stop watching Dr Phil.
Should not have spoiled the movie talking about the scene for everyone else. There are ways of discussing this without revealing the key events and scene so that everyone can enjoy it and it is a surprise.
<<<SPOILER ALERT!!!>>>
Not sure why youre neg’ed other than maybe spoiler tag
Good comment / analysis
I am surprised, people negged most sensible comment. Yes, it has <spoiler> and should have been tagged for this, but hey man it is just seven minutes movie, and I have already watched it thrice.
And yes I also agree this movie has much deeper meaning than showing to 6 month and 1 year old watching and laughing at dark humour
How much is it after the 7 days?
Is it only 7mins?
Username checks out.
These animated characters have more depth and warmth than you.
I'm confused. Disney Pixar posted the Bao movie a month ago on Twitter and has been "free to watch" ever since.
https://twitter.com/DisneyPixar/status/1066059058082328577
What's special about this other than it being on YouTube, and worse, only for a limited time?
Not sure, but all the news articles on the net suggest it's free from today. Maybe this…
Heartwarming moments are meant to be shared. Bring home behind-the-scenes, exclusive footage from Bao and 10 other critically-acclaimed shorts when you get the Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 3 on Digital.
Either it was an oversight by them embedding the whole movie in their month old tweet, or they've done the rounds with the press this week to get it even more eyeballs.
watched it and didn't feel anything special
the mum swallowing bao scene was even a bit disturbing
heh with the way house prices are rising… Can't wait to watch sequel where the wife moves in as well and the mum is trying to kick em all out.
Loved it. Felt for the mama even though my youngest is only 2
I'm surprised to see no racist comments yet, good work white people
Haven't you just made one?
It's satire
Why reference race?
This movie is about maternal love and cultural convergence.
Strange…
It's funny how making a positive comment about the lack thereof racism, and praising the white community for it's progressive thinking is seen as negative. We're here with a movie about maternal love and cultural convergence without a shred of racism in the comment section, if you were an asian who's seen racism all his life, wouldn't you be surprised too?
It's not a positive comment at all and I'll explain why:
1/ You invoked the idea of racism and associated it with this movie where there was none present (even in if it was in a pseudo-positive or joking manner)
2/ You said "good work white people" which unless that was some kind of very crystpic joke, is actually a racist statement.
Do you think white people are the only ones capable of racism?
But mostly..why reference race at all?
Better to let this just be a great little movie on its own, don't you think?
@King Tightarse: I'm merely speaking out my praise from my own perspective, clearly you've got one of your own.
This IS a great little movie, and I'm GLAD that people are treating it as such, without any racist comments. The "good job white people" is just satire.. ya know.. historically speaking.
Very confusing, really should have passed on a clear message than confusion.
I understood it…
Which part confused you? I thought the storytelling was impeccable given the brevity.
Spoiled get negged severely here.
The part she ate it.
Apologies if I over-explain things, just not sure how much you grasped.
So the dumpling wasn't real. The dumpling was a figment of her imagination and metaphorically represented her son (the human boy at the end). The mum was simply reminiscing all the cherished moments of bringing up her son from birth, through adolescence and into adulthood where he moves out to live with his fiancee. She dedicated her whole life to her son and now he wants to move out. In her fantasy, she was able to stop him from leaving by eating the dumpling (the manifestation of her son in her fantasy), but this also broke the dreamstate and brought her back to reality. This dream was her way of controlling that which she had no control over i.e. her son leaving her to live his own life away from home.
Also, this is just my interpretation of it, and different people will have their own.
In addition, in old Chinese/Chinese-liked Asian culture, when a mother is angry, disappointed or hopeless (cannot do anything more) of her son, sometimes she may say something like "I should give birth to a "Bao" rather than you, in which I can eat it." (this maybe no more popular)
Our proxy at work blocked that website for "Classification = porn".
How much was it before?
That still does not answer the question. There are a lot of short animation by Pixar that are for free. This is just one of them.
Love that this is based in Toronto!
Mmm dumplings
Thanks OP!
This video is so disturbing
The link won't work anymore to watch the video
Still working with VPN (I connected with US West Coast / LA server)
Seen before. Very touching.
