If you loved Bao, try Turning Red
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Domee Shi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bao, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Turning Red is
Turning Red attempts to allegorize puberty, with mixed results. Mei, a Chinese-Canadian teen, discovers that intense emotions trigger her transformation into a large red panda. What follows is a fairly standard story of a kid embarrassed by her parents. Points for commitment, at least.
