Twenty Something (2021)

Twenty Something (2021), an animated short film, written and directed by Aphton Corbin, the film was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In the story, Gia’s older sister Nicole takes her to an adult club for the first time after she turns 21. Feeling overwhelmed by her newfound adulthood, Gia imagines herself as three children stacked on top of each other, hiding under a large coat. Despite their efforts to take charge of the situation, all three versions of Gia struggle to feel comfortable in their surroundings. However, they eventually decide to make the most of their time together and act normally. As Gia dances with Nicole on the dance floor, she accidentally bumps into a man. One of her personifications (aged 16) becomes infatuated and tries to take control, but another (aged 1) ends up scaring him away by stepping on his foot. The youngest version of Gia (aged 10) gets into an argument with the teenage one (aged 16), and the toddler version (aged 1) tries to intervene but ends up throwing up on someone nearby instead.

The three Gias engage in a fierce battle that spills out onto the dance floor, causing a stir among onlookers. Feeling humiliated, they retreat to the bathroom to cry. Nicole joins her sister and sympathizes, acknowledging the challenges of adulthood. In a vulnerable moment, she shares her own embarrassing experience and reminds Gia of her accomplishments as an adult. With renewed confidence, the three Gias embrace and transform back into 21-year-old Gia. As they return to the club, they envision other club-goers at different stages of life and dance joyously throughout the night.
