Yang Mu

Promotional short film for "Toy Story 5" produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio. The short tells the story of a bond between a boy and his Buzz Lightyear spanning over decades.

The children in a small village of hunters have befriended a young girl named Lin Lin. Unbeknownst to them, Lin Lin is actually the human form of one of the last remaining wolves of the forest, and her mother has warned her about getting too close with the humans.

The three brothers—a pragmatic leader, a chatty second, and a simple, kind-hearted third—begin their journey with a clear, almost naive goal. They are not mighty. They are small snakes surviving on stolen offerings from villagers praying to the Dragon King for rain. The eldest understands a cruel truth: people worship power that solves problems. Their reverence for the Dragon King stems not from love, but from a desperate need for his rain. So, the snakes embark on a pilgrimage to learn this divine skill themselves.
