Hear that Disney? NO PARENT HAD TO DIE
-
Me the whole time: "Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry"
-
I find it highly shocking that this book is banned from some schools, Hair Love is so sweet and so wonderful in it’s messaging of a father taking care of his daughter.
-
It is so cool to finally see the mother be darker than the father. The mother is usually always lighter so this is so beautiful. I love this short so much.

Sony: doesn’t kill the mom Disney: Wait that’s illegal
-
Sony beating Disney they didn't kill the mom they ALMOST killed her
-
As a survivor and a mom of a young daughter, thank you 🥺❤️
-
I think no matter a person's skin tone or cultural background, ALL FATHERS are terrified to do their daughter's hair. This video has layers of sweetness and emotion, but to see the dad trying (and struggling!) but getting there in the end is brilliant. And the fact that he is continuing to do her hair during the credits and wasnt just a 'stand-in' while his wife was sick is a gorgeous detail. This film totally deserved it's Oscar 💖
-
I’m so used to Disney movies I thought the mom was dead from the beginning
-
Film: award winning Parents: alive Disney: how-
-
Dad learns how important hair is to people and how to have patience to style his daughter’s properly, Mom gains the confidence to rock the bald look like the warrior queen she is, and let’s not forget how absolutely precious the little girl is throughout the entire thing.
-
5:34 I am moved by this scene 🥲 From the daughter's face and intentions, it is clear what she wanted to tell her mother from the ❤: "I love you mom, no matter what you look like now, whether you have hair or not, you will always remain the most beautiful to me.🥰" I LOVE THIS SCENE
-
In the beginning, I thought the little girl had a ballet dance or something similar at school, when it showed it was actually to bring her mom home, my god, I cried.
-
But nobody’s talking about how the girls hair is literal goals👀
-
This is beautiful.... I wish more stories like these existed for little black girls
-
I’m as white as a sheet of paper but I love this. I understand that people of color have struggles with their hair and that is hard to find good representation so I loved this.
-
The fact that the mom slowly grows her hair back in the credits is so cute to me idk why
-
Anyone notice the cat also hugs the dad when he finished his daughter's hair?
-
Finally, dads are getting the love they deserve
-
This story is beautiful and really hits deep and is special to me. 8 years ago I lost my grandmother who basically raised me growing up to cancer. She was the only other person besides my mother growing up who knew how to manage my unruly curls. I still cry every time I watch this. ❤
