| Trivia | A few Easter eggs point to Toronto, Canada as the location: the CN tower in the cityscape background, a boy wearing a Vince Carter style "15" jersey, and a Canadian flag pinned to the refrigerator door. See more » |
| Goofs | Mom eats Bao yet he reappears all grown up toward the end of the story. Correction: the son was real (see the family photos on the wall above the dining table) and the living bun was a dream, playing out the real life events of the son leaving home. See more » |
| Movie Connections | Featured in The Death of DisneyToon Studios (2018). See more » |
| Crazy Credits | Instead of the usual Pixar credit for "production babies" - babies born to people who worked on a given film during its production - there is a credit for "production baos". See more » |
