Super surprised that Disney would make a short on how to break the cycle of repressive parenting or make aware there's other ways to raise a child. This and how it did so in 7 minutes without a single word is why I give this 9/10.

My review doesn't add anything to the table BUT I just want to point out that I have seen a significant amount of posts on IMDB and other sources where the authors do not understand the short's message. Not just disliking the movie, but not... getting... it. To me this highlights how relevant this movie is as it showcases the negative cycle that people tend to deny/repress from themselves.

... Even if it comes from a 7 minute children's cartoon...

Disney has a lot to answer for in its treatment of mothers (dead or absent), but Bao and now Far from the Tree help to make up for it. This beautiful, moving short film, like Bao before it, manages to show the challenges and love of motherhood in only a few minutes and without dialogue. The classic animation is exquisite, with a distinctive color palette. The story, about two raccoons foraging by the sea, shows how parents, with the best intentions, can pass on hurt to their children but can also learn to do better. (Yes we get this in five minutes with silent raccoons.)

A master class in narrative and how you don't need flash or even words to convey real human truths.

"Far From the Three" is a great animated short with an excellent script about the relationship between parents and children represented by two generations of raccoons. The animation is old school with a great realistic touch. The short film is shown in theaters before the start of the movie "Encanto". "Far From the Three" is incredible, it deserves to be a full-length film, although I liked "Encanto", this short film is much better than the film that precedes it.
