25 Heartwarming and Hilarious Takes from Viewers About Pixar's "Turning Red" Movie
Spoiler alert, of course. But honestly? All of this.
Pixar Animation Studios, located in Emeryville, California, is known for its critical and commercial success with digitally animated feature films. The movie "Turning Red" is the studio's first to be written, directed, and produced by women, and it finds a clever analogy for puberty; yet, not everyone gets the point.
The story follows a 13-year-old girl named Meilin Lee, who is an obedient overachiever and a brilliant student, always earning straight A's. Mei spends her free time assisting her parents in running a temple built in honor of their Chinese ancestors.
Even though Mei might seem to be the ideal daughter, she has interests of her own, just like any young person. She's beginning to notice boys, and she and her friends are huge fans of an ‘N Sync-style boy band.
Then, one morning, she discovers that she has transformed into a big red panda, with radiant red-orange fur and a long, ragged tail. As one would expect, she immediately flips out.
This movie clearly addresses the chaos of adolescence with a genuineness that is invigorating in the realm of studio animation. Those who have watched "Turning Red" have taken to Twitter to share their hot takes regarding the film.
