Chances are, if you've seen Pixar's "Finding Dory," you've seen the short film that screened before the movie played in theaters.

For those who haven't seen it, "Piper," a short film written and directed by Alan Barillaro, is now streaming for free online.

But when a strong wave swallows the young bird while she's seeking food, Piper isn't so confident in her hunting skills.

It isn't until Piper sees the process from a different perspective that she understands the best way for her to help herself and her family.

In six minutes and with no dialogue, Pixar delivers an inspiring message about overcoming one's fears and embracing the unknown.

Watch the short film below.
