On Saturday, Studio Ghibli and Lucasfilm dropped a surprise collaboration on Disney+ in celebration of both the streaming platform's and its hit Star Wars series The Mandalorian's third anniversary. And yes, it is every bit as squeal-inducingly adorable as you'd expect. The hand-drawn short, titled Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies, was directed by Ghibli's Katsuya Kondō and features Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) trying his little best to practice the Force only to be thwarted by a curious gaggle of soot sprites. (Ghibli fans will recognize the magical, sugar-star-loving creatures from 1988's My Neighbor Totoro and 2001's Spirited Away.) Grogu attempts to flee from the rambunctious dust bunnies — who are seriously throwing off his study session — but is eventually chased down by the sprites, who stack on top of each other to present him with… a huge flower (told you it was adorable). The move not only wins the heart of Grogu, but will likely win the hearts of everyone watching too. His new pals then happily float around him as Baby Yoda shows off his Force skills.
