Correction: the son was real (see the family photos on the wall above the dining table) and the living bun was a dream, playing out the real life events of the son leaving home.
- Crazy creditsInstead of the usual Pixar credit for "production babies" - babies born to people who worked on a given film during its production - there is a credit for "production baos".

Featured review
When a kind of stuffed dumpling begins to act human, a lonely mother raises it as a child. What is fun is that the thing begins to act in very human terms, showing defiance and sexuality. What transpires is Pixar's gift for 2018. The animation is so creative and so unique. See this Academy Award winner whenever possible.
