Far from the Tree

Far from the Tree (2021) is a Pixar animated short you can watch online on iFILM. Director Natalie Nourigat packs a complete generational story into seven wordless minutes, set on a windswept beach somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

A young raccoon keeps darting toward the water, no matter how many times its parent pulls it back. Then the film shifts perspective — and you realize the parent was exactly the same kind of restless kit once. No dialogue, no narration, just three generations and a quiet question about what it means to let go. For a short film, it lands harder than expected.
