Ah-Kuan, a teenager who grew up in a single-parent family, could not find warmth in his family, so he turned to friendship and love for solace. However, for the sake of friendship, he was caught in a dangerous storm and almost lost his life in the storm. It was also because of this storm that Ah-Kuan had the opportunity to go up the mountain, where he met an old Zen master and two young monks in a dilapidated temple.

In Stowaway, director Joe Penna narrates the story of a starship crew (Anna Kendrick as Zoe Levenson; Toni Collette as Marina Barnett; and Daniel Dae Kim as David Kim) struggling with serious technical problems on a two-year mission to Mars. During the trip, they discover aboard the presence of Michael (Shamier Anderson), a stowaway who jeopardizes everyone’s life on board.
This film manages to be simultaneously topical and timeless. Without being preachy, it highlights society’s flawed relationship with tech; insights into the complex ideas of family struggle are expertly dispersed among a perfectly paced and balanced story.
An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.
