"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.

Amazing short!
Generational scars dissected in 7 minutes
So this short film was deep. I think I learned more about how to and how not to parent from this short film than from any educational book or video.
Generational trauma and how it is passed down (and how it can be avoided) is explored in a Disney short- you heard that right- and all of it is explored and felt without any dialogue! It's only 7 minutes so won't go into detail about plot, but it starts out with two raccoons who go foraging by the sea.
Gorgeous hand drawn animation, and beautiful, emotional story. Wouldn't be surprised if it wins best short. (And though Encanto, the movie it precedes, is enchanting, this short exemplifies and expresses Encanto's theme more effectively than Encanto!)
Very short, and very important
I'm not sure I've ever seen a Disney production of any sort that touched on parental abuse, short film or not. I was very caught off guard, but also very touched. I didn't cry but I almost did! What the heck Disney?!
Very cute, well animated, and very to the point without getting too scary for younger kids.
