"As the baby follows the items, they stand up and almost fall over before being caught by the mother. The entire thing is set to surprisingly gorgeous piano music, and that's where our first hint comes in. At 3:14, the music crescendos into a leitmotif that sounds remarkably similar to the Pikmin theme. Just listen to it, and then the first ten seconds of this video, and compare."
"Of course, the items sort of bobbing along as they move is extremely similar to how Pikmin carry items in the games - just lacking the actual creatures. Interestingly, the mobile game Pikmin Bloom did give us the lore tidbit that, canonically, Pikmin are invisible to humans. But there are even more details that might be clues. At 1:39, you can see a little red item move under the crib."
Nintendo released a Pixar-esque animated short titled "Close to You" that shows a mother playing with her infant before leaving to check a knock at the door. After the mother leaves, objects in the room begin to float and move on their own, guiding the baby as items bob and almost topple before being caught. The short features a piano score that crescendos at 3:14 into a leitmotif resembling the Pikmin theme. Visual hints include a blurry red item moving under the crib at 1:39 and a door-closing sound at 24 seconds that resembles the Pikmin squeak. Pikmin Bloom lore states Pikmin are invisible to humans.
