Bao is definitely one of the most bizarre shorts before a feature-length animated film I've seen in the cinema, I'd rank it alongside the equally strange Lava. It was pretty clear the message it was conveying and what they were trying to highlight, but the biggest problem was the execution. Judging by the reactions in the cinema, I was not the only one taken aback by the rather drastic conclusion.
