New TikTok trend inspired by animated film has people jumping

'You Need a Hug' TikTok trend explained

People are always expressing their love in different ways on TikTok, and the latest trend 'You Need Hug' has been inspired by an adorable animated film. TikTokers have been embracing this heartwarming trend, drawing inspiration from a scene in the 2023 film Migration.

In the scene that sparked this trend, Gwen, voiced by Tresi Gazal, offers a hug to her brother Dax, voiced by Caspar Jennings, who is feeling down. Despite Dax declining the offer, Gwen proceeds to jump on his shoulders and hug him anyway. This unique style of hugging has captivated TikTok users who are recreating the moment with their own twist.

However, it's important to note that attempting this trend at home comes with some risks. The person being hugged must be strong enough to support the weight of the hugger, and the hugger must be careful not to misjudge their jump or balance. Safety should always be a top priority when participating in viral trends like this one.

Many TikTok users have praised the creativity and skill involved in recreating the 'You Need Hug' trend. Some have marveled at the physical strength required to execute the hug without toppling over, while others have been touched by the sweetness of the gesture. The trend has sparked a wave of adorable and heartwarming videos, with participants lip-syncing the birds' dialogue from the film.

As with any trending challenge, it's essential to approach it with caution and respect for personal boundaries. While the 'You Need Hug' trend may seem fun and lighthearted, safety should always be a top priority when participating in such activities. With creativity and care, TikTokers can continue to spread love and positivity through this endearing trend.
