Movie #1679 ........................."Bao" (animated short)

Movie #1679 "Bao" is the animated short that won the oscar for 2019 --- it was shown with "Incredibles 2" so it was seen by many, plus it is available on you tube, if you want to see this 8 minute pixar offering.  I have to say there have been better ones, but this was short, well done, and quick to the point.  Although, I could see a kid say that what he got out of it was that if you want to keep your friend, you have to digest him!  Also, it came across to me as heavily edited and jerky, but it could be that's how it was on you tube because I didn't see it on the big screen.  I personally liked two other ones a bit better than this one, but it is a strong entry because of its quality in animation, and I would give it 4 stars out of 5.
