The top question on fans' minds is whether or not Deltarune is an Undertale sequel. But Fox doesn't want players to worry too much about that, saying he thinks doing so could actually hurt the experience for them.

Pixar Director Explains How Food Inspired the Bao Animated Short

Centered around the experience of a Chinese immigrant family, the short film Bao is an important glimpse into the life of a mother learning to let go. Like many shorts that air before Pixar feature-length films, Bao tells an important, familiar story through clever, unconventional ways.
