Travel, Leisure & Fun for South Valley Adults
"Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó" is a short documentary by first-generation Taiwanese-American filmmaker Sean Wang, which celebrates the slow-paced lives of his two grandmothers.
His Nǎi Nai (paternal grandmother) and Wài Pó (maternal grandmother) live together and dance, stretch, laugh and even fart their days away.
This film is the first in the revived "People & Places" series, Walt Disney's award-winning documentary short film series from the 1950s and 1960s. The series is off to a strong start with "Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó" earning an Academy Award nomination for best documentary short film.
"'Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó' embodies the essence of Walt Disney's storytelling legacy with its deep emotional impact and focus on family," said Marjon Javadi, vice president of Original Documentaries, Disney Branded Television, in an interview. "As we celebrate 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, Sean Wang reminds us, through his grandmothers' beautiful relationship, that we can find magic in the everyday at any age."
