Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter-an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Directed by Academy Award® winner Domee Shi (Pixar short “Bao”) and produced by Lindsey Collins “Turning Red" launches exclusively on Disney+ on March 11, 2022.

Can you react to a movie called Ferdinand pls
I did not notice
why didn't you react at this with your girlfriend?
@timotheeReacts you mist a part of the end well it’s a part that the dad is fan of 4⭐️Town
The watermark is barely noticeable
Culturally this movie is so accurate. I cried several times, but it didn't hit me nearly as hard as my fiancé, who is fully Chinese where as I'm only half. He almost couldn't finish the movie because of how close to home it hit.
Ok this is something I'd really like to see. Review and breakdown from someone who knows whats going with every cultural refference in this movie. Thank you for this comment. Now because of you I love it even more
"but it didn't hit me nearly as hard as my fiancé"
I thought your fiancé was abusive and hit you hard, thank god I read the whole comment.
@@majoody35 I'm glad you read the whole thing too
@@majoody35 Jesus Christ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A friend who is Asian-American described this film as "uncomfortable." I think this is why.
I love how this movie talked about “the red peony blooming”. I feel like it’s something that people think it’s not appropriate to talk about, but it’s a normal thing and this movie portrays it wonderfully and that’s it’s nothing for young women to be ashamed of!
Ming: but it's too soon!
Me whose red peony bloomed at age 11: is it????
When I first heard that line, I found that to be subtle. Like they didn’t need to use the actual term for this.
Right? Like in "my girl" they had a whole section dedicated to the period talk why do guys get to talk about their puberty funny voice cracks but we can't talk about our experiences.
And it shouldn't be embarrassing!
Guys need to learn about it aswell
We are BLEEDING like have some fucking sympathy
@@AlessaParker mine was 8 🥲 n I'm trans so double oof
@@mylife-23 So much ouch
Turning Red perfectly depicted generational trauma like Encanto did, like Mei’s mum is flawed but so is everyone, she learned from her daughter, and broke the cycle of generational trauma
Seems to be a common theme in sooo many animated movies, even coco. So encanto, coco, turning red, luca
@@TimotheeReacts I love you 😘💕❤️
@@TimotheeReacts Ming Lee Is Voiced By Sandra Oh The Actress Who Was In Killing Eve. Mulan 2 & Raya & The Last Dragon
Frankly I think Turning Red depicted it better than Encanto.
@FunFilmFare And everything else, story, the character and the humor. Encanto wasn't even halfbaked, though not as bad as Chicken Little (the worst Disney flick EVER).
I believe that this is the first Disney/Pixar that really focuses on adolescence, puberty and periods even. I have never ever seen any kids movie that normalized periods. It’s still something that no one talks about but we should because it’s part of our everyday lives and for people who get periods, it’s crucial to our health.
I think this movie was a great way to show the emotional rollercoasters teens go through.
Apparently, Turning Red is also the first Pixar film to be solo-directed by a woman. And with an all-female creative team! 😊😊😊 Finally!!!
Only thing that sucks is that it was direct to streaming! Should of been released in theaters
@@TimotheeReacts Agreed. While this is a Pixar movie that rightfully deserves to be in theaters first. At the same time, this coming-of-age story is made by an Oscar-winning director who won for her short film Bao.
@@TimotheeReacts Yeah, I agree. However, at the same time I think having it on a streaming platform will reach even more people. Encanto did have a theatrical release, but people were talking about it even more once it reached Disney+.
It would have made it to streaming after the theater run anyway, so no theater run is still a slap in the face of both Pixar and theater goers.
@@TimotheeReacts hiiii, it is released at the El Capitan movie theater in Hollywood California for one week
The biggest villain in kids movies: Generational Trauma
Yah idk when this theme started. Didn’t seem to be in older movies then BAM coco, luca, encanto, turning red
Amen 😔😔
Yup. There was no actual villain whatsoever in this movie. Tyler doesn’t count as he’s only a jerk. The others were vilified unnecessarily.
Facts though!!
The biggest villain in kid movie's is Gru
Imagine just waking up one day and being extremely excited to attend a concert only to have it crashed by a giant kaiju. This movie’s third act is phenomenal. Also, it seems like the government is completely unfazed by Red Pandas.
Pandapocalypse 2002
All that’s missing was a Japanese guy running away, “This is why I left Tokyo!”
@@keitholsen8787 😂😂😂👏👏👏
Maybe they believed in the myths, and they just wanted to see the fight go down
In the scene where the mom turns into a panda I don’t think she’s just mad at Mei Mei’s disobedience. I think it’s also the fact that her mother and her sisters are criticizing her parenting methods. The saying “children are a reflection of their parents” is hard on both kids and parents. Caregivers feel this pressure to raise “perfect” children because any “mistake” the kids make is traced back to them. It must suck to be an adult and still be told that you’re doing things wrong. Also, thank you for being so chill with the whole menstruation scene, a bunch of people were strangely upset about it. P.S the brown color you chose for the hoodie is *chef’s kiss*
Yeah I read that scene as being Mom's breaking point because she was faced with the overwhelming shame put upon her by her family, and especially her own mother. And she deflects that shame by seeing it as something her daughter "did" to her by her "misbehaving". I don't think Mom would have had the meltdown if her family hadn't dogpiled her about Mei Mei. Plus the subsequent scene where Mom is in the astral plane in her child form really drives the point home - she's carrying so much of her own emotional trauma over feelings of inadequacy ingrained by her own upbringing, and being triggered like she was mentally put her right back in that dark place from her childhood where she was a frightened and lonely child. Ughhhhhh that was such a good moment from a therapeutic standpoint.
I feel like based on her line, ""How could she do this to her own mother?", the main feeling Ming had was anger towards herself rather than towards Mei, stemming from the unresolved childhood stress of hurting her own mother (and intensified by the feeling that she failed yet again and let down her mother and family). Thus, her question was more "How dare she repeat the same mistakes as me?" Since Ming suppressed her feelings as a child instead of resolving them, they got woken back up at full force when Mei acted the same way that she did. She projected herself onto Mei, and her fight with Mei was really just a fight with herself, similar to how Mei raged at herself in a mirror early on in the movie after the notebook incident. They both have a strong habit of carrying guilt and blaming themselves.
Well said guys
@@Bliquexshi I like how the only reason she 1st decided to disobey her mother was because Ming fell in love the boy who became her husband. That scene where she's having her meltdown before she turns into the panda all she hears at that moment is jin but it's not enough
The themes of this movie are truly universal. Not only have I seen East Asians relate to this, but also Black and Jewish people. Even a white girl like me sees my (downhill) transition from elementary school to middle school -and how much I was disappointing my parents - in this movie.
Yea asian always think things only happen to them the're really self centered people when you get down to it lol
@@hinata750 not exactly what I meant
You're doing great; keep it up! 👏👏👏❤❤❤💚💚💚
About the kitten box, you can see a lot of cats hanging around the temple area, it's probably not too hard to grab a few kittens and put them back when it's done.
So much Toronto detail. The Character Tyler is dressed like Nelly with the bandaid on the face and head band. I remember that was a thing when Nelly came out with Country Grammer. The oversized and bright clothing, gym uniforms, the sailer moon reference, the sky dome renovations when they were renaming it to the “Rogers centre” etc. They really captured the essence of that time period in everything.
Ah, the old Toronto, before they tore down Honest Ed's.
It's interesting to see how Pixar moves away from realism to something cartoony and cute: Luca, Turning Red.
And then they drop a movie that just might be the answer to the meaning of life: Soul, Inside Out.
42:28+42:29+42:30+42:31+42:32
lol... pixar 'realism' --right because Cars character designs were so realistic. Or Bugs Life
@@tez-cat529 Cars is from 2006. A Bug's Life is from 1998!! We're talking movies like Toy Story 4
@@vlcharlie4884 Who is this 'we' you are referring to? You can cherry pick a time period if you want to narrow it down, but for more currently made movies i wouldn't call 'A good dinosaur' character designs (though backgrounds were insane) or 'Finding Dory' realistic either. It is a style choice. I don't need or require the character designs to look like real people ala 2001's 'Final fantasy' (No i am not saying it was made by pixar)
Mei’s dad was a pretty cool/supportive guy and I especially love his plan with the circle.
Me too.
The dad was awesome! 😍
Thank you he's the real MVP of the movie too me
I loved his talk with Mei
Agreed!!! I HATE the way Mei's mom kept shutting him down. Glad he grew a spine and like Mei he also stood up to her in the end.
My takeaway was that the human experience and the emotions that come with it are inherently messy.
When you feel forced to live up to the expectations people place on you (as well as your own), that's what leads to you feeling like you have to suppress parts of yourself.
On the other hand, when Mei was able to control the intensity of her emotions, it wasn't necessarily her suppressing them, it was her ability to fall back on the love and acceptance she felt from her friends, which cushioned those emotions and gave them space to breathe. Unfortunately, her mom made the mistake of demonizing those emotions for simply existing, leaving no room for Mei to feel okay with being human.
You could even argue that the reason Tyler bullied Mei so much was because he felt wrong for being more similar to her than he was willing to admit, which made him insecure and led to him projecting a lot throughout to movie. This is why it doesn't surprise me that he let his guard down once he was accepted and celebrated for his common interests at the concert, like you said earlier, it's a blessing to have friends like that who love you for you.
Two notes: one, this is my personal take on Priya, but I don’t think she puts less effort into supporting Mei or anything, she just seems like a lower energy person. She still supports and loves her friends, she is just less hyper about it.
Two, I kind of get what Mei says at the end about missing how it was. While it was a burden, it was also simpler. She didn’t need to actually communicate with her parents and she felt like her life was great as long as she followed it according to schedule, which I understand. My parents’ plan was “graduate high school with scholarships and good grades, go to college with a good degree, get a job, get married, have kids,” so everything needed to help get to the end goal. But what Mei has now is still better, even if it is hard in a different way. The communication and openness is worth it, because her relationship with her family is so much better!
This reaction was great, btw!
Exactly! I never thought she wasn't supportive, or passionate, or whatever, just more "emo", in a way, but still caring no matter what. She joined in on the songs for crying out loud. 😂
Yep...Priya plays at being the cool kid; that "I'm so cool, nothing fazes me" type of vibe. She is my favourite out of the friends, actually.
I cried so hard halfway through the movie, especially when mei mei was talking to her dad since I have a bad relationship with my dad
Sorry to hear that.
In terms of your question as to why Ming Lee put so much pressure on Mei Mei when she hated it herself, I think it has to deal with a cycle of perfection. Ming's mother wanted her to be the obedient perfect daughter, and she felt obligated to do so. Ming grew up, and, presumably not wanting her daughter to grow more independent from her, unintendedly repeated the cycle. The fight at the end perfectly allows both of them to get all of the feelings they'd bottled up about each other out, and grow closer as a result
I find it beautiful though the only reason Ming broke the cycle with her mother when she was a little girl was because she fell in love with her future husband
This film was so great. Visually I like how it was so anime but in 3D. I actually forgot this was Pixar. As a Korean woman, there are definitely parts that struck really hard with me, especially feeling like I'm not "allowed" to be emotional in front of my parents. Though I guess I should be grateful that my mom wasn't as extreme as Mei's 😅
"I'm about to turn 22. I'm old."
Me, a 30 y.o: ouch dude 😩 /jk (I had my midlife crisis at 21)
SAME ! I’m about to turn 23 and now I feel old too 🥲💔
@@angeljet99 Same
42:43+42:44+42:45+42:46
I've got you beat, I'm going to be 35 and I've already got gray and white hairs, now that's old! I haven't even had kids yet to cause those white hairs!! 😥🤣🤣
I think the reason why Meilin mom told her that there's only one chance to banish the red panda is because everyone in the family banish their red panda only once and they never know and think of doing it again.
They can only do it during red moons as well so there’s that as well
I also feel like it's another guilt-trip from the grandma, she doesn't answer when asked what happens if the ritual fails, she just stresses it *cannot* fail.
Overloading expectations and shaming failures were her parenting mistakes with Ming.
The kitten box test is cheating! NOBODY could resist that!
😂 these cats just came outta knowhere
Actually Tim, the family did own cats. If you see the scene before Mei's Aunties and Grandma come in, you can see two cats sleeping by the closed gate. The kittens probably came from them and the Mei's parents were just burrowing them for the test.
Luca was a coming-of-age dramedy, while Turning Red is a coming-of-age comedy.
Visually, Mei’s red panda design is a nod to Miyazaki’s Totoro, the humor of shape-shifting to and back is reminiscent to the comedic nature of Ranma 1/2, and the human character designs look similar to the work of Aardman (of Wallace & Gromit fame).
And finally, the movie itself with the scenario on the conflict between mother and daughter? It’s something explored before in Brave (though in the modern times). Growing up and not knowing how to handle these changes you’ve known as a little kid.
I can see Ranma 1/2, not sure about Totoro though. BTW I went to the Ghibli Museum just outside Tokyo. There's a life size cat bus you can sit in. It's super fluffy.
@@3DJapan the guys from @Cinema Therapy need to know about the cat bus! (especially Alan)
Also, a lot of Sailor Moon references! The girls being "color coded" like that (a nod to Super sentais, even), the aunties turning into Pandas making poses and holding their "magical objects"; and finally, the very distinctive, gorgeous style they animated and colored the city landscape when the girls are on the roof - Sailor Moon's citiescapes are literally just like that, all sparkly with the teal-colored night-sky
And also Fruits Basket
I noticed that Aardman style too
The way people in the comments on 'Turning Red' videos about their parents and a complete lack of privacy makes me think of that slightly infamous scene from the email episode of 'The Fairly Odd Parents', the one where the parents knock and call out to their kids:
"What are you doing in there?"
and then narrate:
"I'm both respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your parents by COMING IN ANYWAY!"
and then proceeds to break down the door with a battering ram.
This movie is hella relatable, mostly Mei which is why it became my top fav. The story writing is well made and the visual as well.
the movie was incredibly relatable, emotional and hilarious at the same time
The film is directed by Domee Shi, who directed the Pixar short Bao.
Interesting fact.
I cried my friggin eyes out at how close to home Mei-Mei's storyline is for me after turning eighteen months ago. Like her ending monologe could quoted by me in how much my life has changed, Abby is another side of me that expressed how I am. My entire persona is in the movie through Mei and her gals lmao 😂
Also, the film is a whole lotta fun, hilarious, and enjoyable. Another success in my book for Pixar!! 👏✨
I love that you're watching this movie in a red shirt.
Tim: I'm going to be 22. I'm so old.
Me (34): Awe, you're such a baby! LoL
ill turn 22 and i still feel like a bby🥺
So many parents are upset over this movie but, my 7 year old and I loved it. Went right over my 4 year olds head. Second she turned into a panda she goes omg she got her period. My daughter already knows about it. Girls are getting it younger and younger. She does not know about sex but, knows once you get it you can have babies. It's important to inform them before so they don't think they are dying. Gosh I'd be terrified if I didn't know.
Mei flopping onto the ground and rolling under the bed made me laugh so much.
So glad to see the Skydome(they changed the name to "The Rogers Centre" years back, but I still call it the Skydome, because fuck name changes).
Lmao, Mei Mei twerking to gross out her mom made me laugh so hard.
Love that they didn't hide periods or anything like that. It's similar to "Luca"in that its a teenage coming of age story with a transformation, but thats about it. Mei is pretty open about being her red panda in front of her classmates, while Luca and Alberto hide their "sea monster"side from the town.
Hey TimotheeReacts Thank You For Watching "Turning Red" I Love That Film Well Done TimotheeReacts You The Best
Did You Like "Turning Red" When You Reacted That Film
Fun fact all the songs that 4-Town sing are written by Billie Eilish & Her Brother, Finneas and Finneas actually voices the member Jesse and 4-Town were inspired by 1990s and 2000s bands like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Westlife, 98 Degrees, & O-Town and the director said that Tae-Young was inspired by Jimin (from BTS)
Gotta say this film is really great in portraying different cultures. Also this movie got a lot of things that any young teenagers like me would relate to. Definitely love this film!
Panda Fact:
When Red Pandas are scared, they lift their arms up. They sometimes lift their arms to look bigger to scare of enemies. When Mei Mei became the red panda, we sometimes see her getting scared and lift her arms like what the red pandas in real life do.
everyone's reaction to the mom's red panda towards the end always gets me lmao she HUGE. Also, the new animation sweater is so cute!!
She is hugeeee
"I'm about to turn 22. I'm old." Oh, sweet summer child.
I understand where Maylyn is coming from not as a cultural standpoint but as a person who cares about her mothers opinion so much that she will do anything for her mother and not for anything for her own self interest.
Saw this movie last night and it was cute, instantly became one of my top favorite pixar movies
Glad you liked it, was a fun time!
@@TimotheeReacts yep me and my family really enjoyed it
I can actually relate to the drawing scene fr 😂😂 so accurate
Just got done watching it yesterday, this movie is super well made, I not once have I felt VERY happy to watch a Pixar film before (well I always love going to see Pixar films), but this one, I really wanted to see it, so I did and again, this was SUPER well made.
Tim: I'm old, I'm almost 22.
Me face slapping in 28 years old 😒
I believe the "You only have one chance" thing is to do with how often the red moon happens and the bond between the person and their panda.
When they first get the panda the bond is weak, it is difficult to keep the emotions and panda at bay. The more they let the panda out the more it breaks that resistance and the easier it becomes for them to both transform and to manage their emotions, but it also makes it harder to seperate them during the ceremony as the connection between them is stronger.
For the older family members they have already broken that bond once and trapped the panda spirit away, because they had been seperate for so long it was easy for them to do it again.
24:43 they mean to remove it from their souls and contain it in an accessory. Representing the feelings they never let anyone see and shove way deep down.
The period/fangirling scenes are so fucking accurate. 😂😂😂👏👏👏
17:17 it reminds me to the SpongeBob "Normal Episode" 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, how are ya 🙂
I watched the movie yesterday with my family, despite not being fully Chinese/Asian I still felt the pressure of being a perfect child which, like Mei Mei, resulted in me rebelling. However, we definitely found it hilarious as well as touching. My mom was like you on Ming going through because she's unable to control her emotions, my mom said they should've pushed Ming through first because she doesn't need her panda going loose if that's how she's gonna be every time lol. I'm surprised Ming's is the biggest out of them all and I wondered why hers was so angry but knowing the generational trauma it shows why hers might be so angry. As for the size..... that's another thing lol. Loved this movie though and loved your reaction to it.
I thought maybe Ming didn't want to give her panda up, but it was more something she was forced into. And I think it's where there's some added fear for her daughter knowing it's coming and Mei's personality. I think Ming would have chosen the same as her daughter if she'd been given the choice when she was younger (and now at this point, it's too late to be able to keep her). But being forced into giving up something she saw as a great gift (going by her tone in how she told the story), I could see how her panda would grow in size due to resentment and all the pressure Ming felt/faced. At least that's how I saw it. I could be completely wrong, and I'm a complete outsider on this, so this is what I've gotten from the information in the movie.
@@brokenfoxx ouuuu that's a good theory, I hope the creators reveal why she's so big compared to her family.
55:06 - That's a BLUE JAY... perched in front of the SKYDOME! A TORONTO Blue Jay sitting in front of the stadium where the team use to play back in 2002. That's SO CLEVER!!! 🥰
i don't think it's teaching to suppress emotions more that's it's ok to have and acknowledge those emotions so that you can control them instead of them controlling you. and speaking as a former teenage girl we have ALL THE EMOTIONS often all at the same time. The drama is real, neverending and everything is the end of ones life.
And something that one does not understand as a child is that although parents become a little or quite irritating, many are because they have already gone down that path and although no one learns through someone else's head, they want to prevent one from making the same mistakes or situations. Sometimes when you are a teenager you want to do everything because we are no longer children, because others of that age already do it, because everyone does it or just because and we don't think about later. Then when something goes wrong we complain and we lament because we didn't wait or because we didn't listen. But that is up to each individual.
I absolutely enjoyed this movie. I also love the way Pixar has been going with these mode mature themes in their movies while keeping their signature fun writing. Another win for Pixar, if only I could have seen this in theaters♡
Yeah the fact it was delayed over Omicron fears was ridiculous. By the time March rolled around, COVID cases had greatly declined.
And to add insult to injury, other family films released in April such as Sonic 2 and Bad Guys did well at the box office.
If anything, Turning Red should’ve just been delayed like many others by that point, delays didn’t hurt many other films anyway.
15:57 I'm... pretty sure Mei would already know about periods by now. She seems like the kind of kid who reads encyclopedias for fun.
I think the "we only have one chance" thing when they have multiple is for several reasons. Not only would it be immensely more difficult the second time, but also the mother wants to make Meilin think there's only one chance to make her more determined to do it right. Only after it fails does she immediately admit they can try again, and that the pressure was just for the sake of perfection.
the one chance to banish it and can not fail is imo the sort of exaggeration people tend to say when they want to empathize the importance of getting it right the first time because the next chance could be many months to years.
but the harder to separate the two the more its released is the more accurate issue. she was struggling to push through because of how much it had fused to who she was becoming. the others had no resistance because it had not been released as often and thus not a strong part of who they were.
the darkness part is when their eyes turn red. they become overwhelmed by the emotion and act without regard to the consequences.
irl that darkness exists even with no physical panda to represent it.
Mei Mei had full control of her panda so she could put the emotions into action in the exact precision of when and where it needed to be expressed.
I love Turning Red, definitely one of my top favorite Pixar films! It’s a lot of fun and is very wholesome too.
When looking at Mei and her friends’ daily habits, can you see MLP characters in their personalities? For example, Priya is the Maud of their group.
@@twist58 Yep, I sure can.
Me too.
@@twist58 Abby is a mix of Pinkie and Rainbow
I know mine too!!💞🤗😁
Never met a Pixar movie that could stun me AND bring me to tears at the same time, and you don't even have to be from an Asian descent to relate to this movie - it has so many sides to it, it describes teen life all the way to your inner turmoil when you bottle everything in, to just wanting to be yourself
I've been thinking how just about EVERY Pixar movie gets treated as a break from all the ones that came before. And the Disney animation movies, also. Just watch when the next one comes out! They'll treat it as a breath of fresh air, compared to every one that came before, including this one.
I remember how astonishing The Little Mermaid was. I remember how majestic The Lion King was. I remember how revolutionary Toy Story was. I remember how heartbreaking Up was. I'm glad to see Turning Red and Encanto adding to that tradition.
This movie’s musical score was composed by Ludwig Gonarsson who also did the music for Black Panther and The Mandalorian Star Wars TV Series; This was first animated movie he’s done
4-Town reminds me of *NSYNC. I love 5 of their songs, 'Bye Bye Bye', 'It's Gonna Be Me', 'I Want You Back', 'This I Promise You' and 'Girlfriend [Remix] Feat. Nelly'.
"I'm about to turn 22. I'm old."
Me, who turned 37 last month: Felt that.
This movie turned out great. It has actions, excitement and drama! 10/10
🐼🐼🐼❤❤❤
Being a teenager is fun with time and energy. Now look at me now. I’m thirties. But I am still young on the inside
Always young in the inside
Ming's mom's red panda was massive because all her frustration , anger , sadness in all her years have always been kept inside. Not like Mei's rebellion. She didnt go through that
Oh my goodness.. I just watch an hour ago of Cody's reaction of this movie tho.. I was like, hoping that Timothee reacts to this movie as well.. AND NOW, HERE IT IS!! LET'S GOOOO 🔥🔥✨
LETS GOOO
It's so relatable, reminds me of helping out in the family grocery after school everyday. Not really get to hang out with other kids because they're "delinquents". But still good times.
Im actually super obsessed with this movie. The character's are enjoyable, the humor is on point, the serious parts are on point. Sure, I physically cant relate to the 'Girl problems', but I enjoyed it all the way through. 8.5/10
oh Tim, I enjoyed to watch this so much! what a nice reaction.
Thanks Dalia’
I had no idea Canada is so multicultural. I live in Australia and we have such an amazing multicultural country. My school friends and friends today, all our parents were born overseas including mine. I'm so grateful I was able to grow up with people from all across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and many other areas of the world. This city reminds me so much of mine.
I adore this film.
Had a good time with this movie. A few things caught me off guard like the “AWOOOGA” scene lol. Plus this felt nostalgic to me because this was around in the 00s and that was during my childhood. Also, ur 22 and calling yourself old. I’m about to be 30 and I still feel like I’m ur age lol. Enjoy the rest of ur youth
all the 4*town songs are originals written by billie eilish and finneas!! they sure know how to make bops
17:30 Herbal tea does actually work. For just about any situation. I usually take camomile though when I need to relax or have an upset stomach (though mint tea is better for diarrhoea because of the leaves, and peppermint works ok as well).
I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie. It was weird and really out there, and that's what I liked about it. I really enjoy when animated projects that don't shy away from family problems, teenage drama or social issues. The characters, animation and voice acting were all done very well. They did a good job of showing how scary changing and growing up can be, but it happens for a reason.
But like any other Disney movie, the problem is mostly resolved to quickly. Forgiving and moving on is important, but its not easy (like they make it seem in their movies). Ming did the exact same thing to Mei that her mother did to her - and she didn't see that? If nothing is ever going to be good enough, you shouldn't push a child to be perfect. Healing can happen...but it takes time.
(Ming shouldn't need to apologize. She may have given her mother that scar, but it was Wu's controlling and overbearing nature that caused such an act.)
People may call the portrayal of Chinese culture in this movie racist or stereotypical; but it isn't if its all fact. Most families of Asian cultures are very controlling and pass that toxic quirk to their children. Parents shouldn't push their desires onto their children, because than the children never get to live their own lives. If your kids rebel, its most likely because you're refusing to listen to them.
If there's a sequel, I seriously hope that Disney doesn't tone down the problems and issues of growing up.
Small mistake in the movie...Polymer money in Canada was first introduced in 2011...the movie is in the early 2000...It should have still been paper ! Those designs are hard to miss ! Hi from Canada !
It's like in " The Aristocats " (I'm french) when there's dollars in Edgar's eyes whe he dreams about the money.
In this time, the money was the franc
I guess what they meant by "one chance" is really just a way to really emphasize how important it was in the family to get rid of the Red Panda Spirit so they can go back to their normal lives. Basically they can do the ritual as long as there is a Red Moon, but those only show up every couple of years, and they said the Spirit gets harder to separate in the ritual, the more you use it.
So the question remains, when Mei hustled the Panda so many times at school, and the ritual showed her struggling to separate from it, was her choice of keeping it really her choice, or the Panda's influence? Because her Grandma, Aunties, and Mom got rid of theirs with ease.
I just turned 13 and i can say that i act like the main character that may sound cringe but thats how it is and ive watched the movie 5 times in a span of 3 days
Mei hide her emotion and never argue before because she couldn't and every single Chinese or Asian Kids shouldn't ever do..
Tiger parents like her mother and her grandmother always thought they were always right because they have more experience, they see more things even before you born.. so if you want to tell your tiger mother wrong you need to proof you have more experience and see more things before your mother born..
4-TOWN are SO Backstreet Boys
Without a doubt my favorite movie of the year 2022, I'm a fellow Canadian myself living in Ottawa so watching this movie makes me feel so nostalgic especially when I saw the tamagotchi game since I played that as a kid 😄💕🎶
I kinda also want the ability to just "turn red", it's a pretty neat thing and IT'S JUST ADORABLE!!! I wish I would have that ability :).
The mom standing behind the tree scene spying on Mei is a reference to Scream lol
"I don't know much about this movie, except she turns into a red panda"
I mean, that's pretty much it, you kind of got it all with that line
Apparently, the scene where Mei's mom comes to the school and looks through the window and shouts about pads is based on an actual thing that happened to the director
I could be wrong but I think when they say you only have one chance to suppress the panda, doesn't mean 1 time to do the ritual, I think they mean 1 red moon. If you dont suppress it by the end of the red moon cycle then the connection between panda and person are to strong when the next red moon comes around, as for the rest of the family they had completed the ritual so they have been separated from there panda the whole time. They reconnected with there panda in the emergency for a very few min. Then reseperated before the end of the red moon cycle, in theory they could release there pandas each red moon but each time it would get harder each time.
I love the way the chanting in Cantonese blended with the song. It worked in some weird fun way.
Yeah, Meilin’s mom was WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too overprotective of Meilin. At least her friends were SUPPORTIVE though.
BRO YOU MAD E HAPPY I WILL KEEP IT IN MY LIFE
I found this fact the other day, Mei is the fourth friend, the number 4 is actually known to be the unlucky note or otherwise means death, that's why in south-east asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea and etc, they never had the number 4 in any apartments and every other buildings because they were afraid of the "Death Rumor" or just the bad luck count, and that's a fact
Tim: **Turning Red Movie Reaction** YOU WANT IT?
I WANT IT!
I'm never gon' let you cry, oh cry, don't cry
I can''t believe I'm head over heels for a Pixar movie(I've always thought them overrated), maybe it's because I'm chinese(teochew though, not cantonese). But the animation in this movie is the best so far, especially the koi pond & cooking scene(putting Ratatouille to shame). The 2000s ipod ad-like end credit also showcased how realistic they animated hair & fabric movements(putting Brave to shame).
But the best thing is how they adapted things from animes without making it cringey, from the sparkly eyes & kitty mouths, Totoro, Ranma 1/2, Godzilla, even the scene where Mei shucks off her hanfu while jumping over a streetcar looks like a nod to The Girl Who Jumped Through Time.
Well putting movies to shame that came out over a decade ago isn't really fair lol...animation approves. Ratatouille was 2008 and Brave was 2012. Both still look beautiful today.
@@slenderfoxx3797 I know, but I distinctly remember them being like "we make a new program/whatever it is that improves animation just for this specific function". 😄
15:11 It's like a Pixar version of "Are you there, God? It's me, Margret." Period... Lol.
The 4*Town songs are bops! Thanks, Billie Eilish & Finneas O'Connell!
Wow didn’t know they did the song
And Finneas voices Jesse, one of the band members.
Something tells me that Mei’s dad and Mr. Boonchuy would be best buds.
I think the reason why they said she’d only have one chance is because as they said it’s harder to perform the ritual the longer you go turning into the panda. If you waited years it’ll probably be so much a part of you that you couldn’t do the ritual anymore
Fun fact: this is the first Pixar film to take place in Canada
Ngl who wouldn't wanna be a Giant Red Panda like Mei Mei? Looks very comfy with all that floof
I was not expecting to connect to this movie so much, and while I won't go into details about it, let's just say, it really meant a lot to me. Absolutely amazing film.
Also, CUTENESS OVERLOAD. 😍😍😍🐱🐱🐱🐼🐼🐼💗💗💗💘💘💘
the song at the end was a bop
He said the song itself didn’t matter as long as it came from the heart. Grandma just liked tradition
I am a 4-Townie🤧💙
Also I am so sad that I didn't get to see their full concert, I was really looking forward to it. It broke my heart😭😂
The end was pretty emotional but all the pandas were so cute >.< wish I could floof one now
About the one chance line. It basically means one chance while the red moon shines, if they don't do it before that red moon passes, they are stuck with it. To be fair, the movie doesn't particularly make that clear, but I believe that is what is meant by "one chance". Not just that they do it once and that's it.
Pixar animations have gotten so much better it’s insane
"just here for a fun time" same
