Yubaba, a character from Spirited Away, returns in this short. She turns to the front, opens her mouth and laughs, and when she turns 180 degrees and turns backward, a small bird comes out of her hair and screams. When the little bird retracts into her hair, Yubaba turns 180 degrees again, turns to the front, and laughs once more.
