"Baby Bao" movie poster

This is a pretty sweet animated short. The short film uses "buns" to map a child who has grown up under a mother's love.

The film begins with a close-up shot of a group of buns under a Chinese-style background music, and it simply shows the audience the characteristics of Chinese-style life in a few dozen seconds. The appearance of "Baby Bao" is very interesting, and it fell out of the mother's surprised mouth. The image expresses the mother's production process. Later, transition methods such as superimposed wipes were used in the shots reflecting the growth process of "Baby Bao", and the delicate shots presented this period of the child's growth. In addition, there are many scenes in the film that use the effect of light to express the inner emotions of the characters. For example, after the mother eats the "Baby Bao", the light in the room gradually dims until the dark screen fades out, reflecting the mother's inner thoughts for the child and the helpless expression. Incisively and vividly.

The actual theme of this short film is not only about the growth of children, but about the discussion of education. Parents' protection of children in the process of education can sometimes become a double-edged sword that affects the growth of children. The growth path of "Baby Bao" was cared for in every possible way by his mother, and he maintained a protective and tolerant attitude even during the rebellious period. Until the day when Bao Bao Bao was ready to leave her mother independently, her mother was still willing to swallow the happy times of the past. This is the "mother's love" presented in the short film

The short doesn't change the tone of the style with the climax. Everything in front of me is just a dream of my mother. The warm and happy ending at the end also brought a sense of healing to the audience. The relationship between growth and independence is also explained in the film.
