If you loved Turning Red, try Bao
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Bao has roughly 4.4× fewer votes than Turning Red — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Turning Red, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bao is
Here's a film that knows its audience. A Chinese-Canadian woman makes a dumpling that comes alive. The ensuing years test their bond as the dumpling grows up. It's a slight story, but somehow works as a tearjerker.
