Growing up is a beast.
Thirteen-year-old Mei is experiencing the awkwardness of being a teenager with a twist – when she gets too excited, she transforms into a giant red panda.

Pixar cooked with this one! *Turning Red* is probably one of the studio's most chaotic features, but shockingly, that doesn't mean the movie is bad. From its wild anime-style visuals to its unhinged comedy, this movie delivers what we expect from the company, but with a little bit extra. The mother-daughter bond between Mei Lee and Ming Lee is very wholesome because you can see as far back as the opening these two are very close and are about to be even closer, even if Ming starts off as a control freak before we learn why she's so strict. I also really liked how the concept of family doesn't stop at biological family members, as Mei's friends-Miriam Mendelsohn, Abby Park, and Priya Mangal-are a found family of sorts: While Mei's parents Ming and Jin operate on a clash of forced perfection and silent acceptance, Mei's friends accept her as she is and don't try to change her to fit in. Even when she didn't have her panda, they still chose to be her friend because they all had the same interests and desires. Speaking of the red panda, it looks so cute and I love how it acts as a metaphor for untapped anger issues. This is especially important if you remember the *Inside Out* franchise, where Anger is represented with the color red as well. While I will admit it is kind of lazy the panda explodes in pink smoke to transform, especially after *Luca* showed the sea monsters gradually shapeshifting into humans on dry land, it is still a fun transformation. My real biggest criticism with this movie is how little of a role Jin had. I feel like if he was a bigger character he could be a great mediator in Mei and Ming's tension. Pixar only pushed him aside because the story is about the friction between Mei and Ming, and that feels like bad storytelling. At least, that's how I feel. The soundtrack is also very timely for the era they captured (early 2000s), and the songs the fictional boy band 4-Town performed are absolute banger hits. So overall, while *Turning Red* does have a lazy animation choice in making the red panda poof in a cloud of pink smoke and pushes Jin aside unnecessarily, I still think the movie's a great addition to the Pixar roster and I hope it gets a sequel.

Loved this movie! Was funny had a great story and moral or lesson and something I would be proud to let my daughter watch, she is 8 now. Living in a cultural diverse country and thought they handled that side of things very well. Being a sci-fi, fantasy guy this was a lovely animated film for me to enjoy with my daughter.

**Pixar discovered anime and is looking to conquer the eastern box office.** I had some expectations regarding this film. I don't know exactly what I expected, but I think everyone will understand if I say that the film is signed by Disney and Pixar, two studios with an enviable track record of successes. However, as soon as the film ended, I felt that I wasn't exactly the target audience for this film: male, over thirty, European, with little connection with pop culture or the anime world. The film follows a young teenager, daughter of Chinese parents, in a somewhat cathartic experience in which she transforms into a friendly red panda. The film focuses on this transformation and turns it into a metaphor for a transformation called puberty, a discovery of one's own individuality and autonomy, particularly with regard to the relationship with one's parents. The film is good, but the theme is… complicated. If it is absolutely true that most teenage girls will see themselves in some of the adventures that Mei experiences, it is no less true that many parents and guardians will face the topic with discomfort and raise some objections regarding a certain “apology of rebellion” that the film suggests. On a positive note, it was the first time I saw an animated film aimed at young audiences that addressed menstruation bluntly. The dialogues continue to insist, however, on that stereotype of the panicking teenager and the mother disturbed by the moment and insisting that, now, her daughter is a woman. This is stupid and conveys inaccurate ideas: a woman is a woman from before birth, from a biological point of view, and becomes a woman from a psychological and social point of view long after her first menstruation, when she begins to be old enough and mature enough to make their own decisions (the same applies to men, with the necessary reservations). In addition to these problems, the plot seems a little incipient to me, following paths that are quite obvious, opting for predictable solutions and creating basic characters. I could even talk about the amount of stereotypes about Chinese and Orientals present in this film… but do I need to talk about that? The best thing about the film is the animations and the extraordinary quality of the drawings and effects. Pixar does not miss the opportunity to defend its credits and reputation in digital animation and offers us a feast for the eyes, with a realism and attention to detail that is difficult to overcome and that makes us think about the way technology has evolved in just a few years: “Toy Story” isn’t even thirty years old yet, and it already seems a little dated! Just one problem: I'm not a fan of anime at all. I think it's a very stylized, excessive, exaggerated type of animation. Unfortunately, this film adopts too many elements that are imported from the anime. Look at the eyes, the exaggeratedly large mouths, the sudden changes in the characters' poses or attitudes... you can't have one foot in two worlds at the same time.

A beautifully animated movie that touches on real issues like parental pressure, coming of age, friendships, and most importantly...learning who you truly are and accepting all of you. The good and the bad.

Animation that makes me feel alive!! Right up there with Monsters Inc. for the funniest Pixar movie. It balances its tone well, the characters and world it builds are so much fun while still managing to hit emotional beats with ease. Films exploring generational trauma and emotional/personal repression are apparently my jam? Top-tier.
