The new short film has everyone feeling emotional.

With Incredibles 2 due to be released this summer, many Pixar fans are also getting excited about the short film which will premiere just before the superhero sequel hits screens in the coming months. The nearly eight-minute-long film, Bao, tells the story about a Chinese-Canadian mother who finds it difficult to cope when she is left with an empty nest. However, the woman finds new purpose when one of her handmade dumplings comes to life. And it looks like audiences are already excited to get to see the short film, with many emotional just at the thought.

"Domee Shi, a storyboard artist who, with Bao, becomes Pixar’s first female short director in the studio’s history, was inspired to write and tell a story flavored by her upbringing as the only child to Chinese immigrants." https://t.co/vbnoLEtqz8

So happy to see more asian american representation in the media. On top of that, Domee Shi is the first woman at Pixar to direct a short. Bao seems so wholesome, cute, and relatable. Props to Pixar, really hoping to see more of this ❤️ (also, hooray for women in animation!!!) https://t.co/qXOuyScMJr

Domee Shi, a storyboard artist, becomes Pixar’s first female short director thanks to the film and says the film was inspired by her desire to tell a story that touched on aspects of her upbringing as a child of Chinese immigrants. “Often times it felt like my mom would treat me like a precious little dumpling, wanting to make sure I was safe, that I didn’t go out late, all that stuff,” Shi told EW. “I just wanted to create this magical, modern-day fairy tale, kind of like a Chinese Gingerbread Man story.”

Can’t wait for you all to see Pixar’s newest short — “Bao” — directed by Domee Shi. It’s REALLY GREAT!! https://t.co/uxTZ3ApWAM pic.twitter.com/f3c4KD51YU
