This really is excellent, and Pixar are not normally ones to release things like this for free.
As we shared earlier, the Oscars released their shortlist for this year's upcoming awards ceremony.
To celebrate being nominated, Disney Pixar have released a really good short movie on YouTube in full.
Bao follows a Chinese mother living in Canada, who is suffering with the fact that her children have grown up and moved on with their lives, as she misses them more than she ever thought she could.
She gets another chance at motherhood when one of a dumpling that she was cooking springs to life, and after the brief, initial happiness of having what is essentially another child to love, the dumpling starts to grow up and distance himself from his mother as well.
Soon, she will realise that this is just the way life works. Nothing stays young forever, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It tells quite an emotional story, and not one word is said throughout.
