Disney Actually Released New Pixar ‘Bao’ Apparel!
If there is one thing that Disney does a really great job at it is creating a wide variety of merchandise for Disney fans to choose from.
There was a time when lesser-known characters and older movies were largely forgotten within the Walt Disney World stores, but no longer.
One of the coolest things Disney has done within the last month or so is starting to release apparel based on Pixar’s many shorts.
Veering away from franchise characters like Woody, Buzz, Nemo, and Lightning McQueen may seem like a strange choice, but it is really giving Pixar’s largely forgotten one-off characters a time to shine.
Earlier this month, we brought you the news that a new For the Birds shirt had arrived at Walt Disney World.
Now, I am pleased to announce, that a new shirt featuring the characters from Disney and Pixar’s Bao has come to the resort.
Remember Bao?
For those who don’t remember the short, Bao told the story of an aging Chinese Canadian woman who cooks a meal of baozi for her husband.
When one of the buns comes alive, the mother raises the bun as a child but is overprotective of it when it wants independence.
Eventually, in fear of losing her relationship with the bun, after it introduces her to his fiancee, the woman eats the bun in desperation.
As it turns out, the whole short is an allegorical dream. The mother then wakes up in bed, and her real son enters the room. The two eventually reconcile and make another batch of baozi together.
A NEW Bao Shirt
This new shirt features the bun from Bao standing front and center and smiling.
Beneath him is a little vignette of the bun and the woman happily interacting.
The rest of the shirt features “Domee’s Mom’s Super Delicious (approximate) Recipe.”
You can see here that the mother makes her dumplings with “4 cups of flour,” “3/4 teaspoons of dry yeast,” “500ml of water,” and a ton of fillings!
Overall, this shirt is a really fun tribute to a great Pixar short and certainly one that you do not see represented in the parks very often.
Where To Get It
If you want to get your hands on this Bao shirt, be sure to visit Island Mercantile on your next trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
