Gus é uma nuvem cinzenta solitária e insegura que esculpe filhotes. Cada nuvem é responsável por esculpir um tipo de filhote, como de cachorro, gato ou bebê humano. Após esculpidos, as nuvens passam os filhotes para sua cegonha, que entrega para os futuros pais. O problema é que os bebês que Gus é responsável por esculpir, diferente de outras nuvens, são um tanto perigosos, como crocodilos, porcos-espinhos, entre outros. E a cegonha Peck, companheiro inseparável de Gus, é quem lida com a entrega desses filhotes. As criações de Gus são verdadeiras obras de arte, mas para Peck não são mais que um punhado de entregas. Á medida que as criações de Gus ficam mais “indisciplinadas”, o trabalho de Peck fica mais difícil. Como a cegonha vai lidar com o seu trabalho pavoroso e o temperamento de seu amigo Gus ao mesmo tempo? Faz parte da Coleção Pixar Curtas 02.
