Little output from baker? It's emotional to watch (6)

I believe the answer is:

weepie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'emotional to watch' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'little output from baker? it's' is the wordplay.
'little' becomes 'wee' (similar in meaning).
'output from baker?' becomes 'pi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'wee'+'pi'+'e'='WEEPIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weepie that I've seen before include "sloppy work" , "Sentimental film (colloq.)" , "Something very sugary" , "Novel type" , "Love Story, among many" .)
