Baby is a character from the 2021 Disney/Pixar animated short Nona.
Background[]
Baby is Nona's pet bulldog[1] who lives with her in the apartment where she lives. He wears a black sweater with the word "Baby" written on it, indicating that this is the dog's name. He also wears a blue collar around his neck with a yellow tag collar on it. Whenever his owner watches E.W.W. Smashdown Wrestling, Nona would place her dog on the couch seen on the left next to her so that Baby would avoid bothering her, especially during wrestling matches. He also shows a loyal personality to Nona, whose granddaughter Renee is shown to have a like on her pet dog.
Role in the short[]
Baby is seen walking alongside his owner Nona who is planning to watch E.W.W. Smashdown Wrestling where she plans to watch the wrestling event air on TV. Just as Nona watches the program, she places her dog on the couch on the left that is next to her only to be interrupted when her granddaughter Renee approaches her. Later when Renee is given a toy bricks for her to play with, she then also places Baby next to her so that she can play with her grandmother's dog. When Renee builds a sword made of bricks, she pretends to be an adventurer alongside Baby, much to her grandmother's feeling uncomfortable of Renee bothering her. Nona then places Renee on the coach where Baby sits, alongside Baby far from the television screen.
Baby later appears in a fantasy sequence where he appears next to the microphone pretending to be the "announcer" where Nona and her granddaughter imagine that they are in a wrestling ring. Later at the end, Baby is seen reconciling with his owner. Later at a post-credits scene, Baby is seen sleeping with his owner alongside Renee who is watching Kitty Kitty Dance Party.
Trivia[]
- Although Renee (who is wearing cat ears) is seen playing with Baby, he does not overreact to her who wears cat ears, especially the cat sticker she places, implying that Baby is not afraid of cats.
