Mei also gives me strong Sailormoon vibes because of her red jacket and blue skirt, her leap in the sky in front of the moon 🌙 her friends wear single colors too similar to the other scout’s, not to mention all the transformations Mei is in and out of
if you haven't realized yes she loves sailormoon in one of her sketchbooks you could see her and her friends dressed with sailormoon costumes and one of them made a pose of this show check it and see it for yourself

i've noticed pixar movies are going into a new age of stories that are extremely personal to the people making the films. they may get more likely to be unrelateable to most but will still tell amazing stories which some can extremely relate to. i actually like the new age of pixar with the experimentation of art style and willingness to delve into topics that some people think younger kids shouldn't talk about (LGBTQ+ in Luca and female puberty in Turning Red).
I like this new direction Pixar is choosing, it makes movies a lot more personal while keeping them entertaining for audiences. They still have important messages people can understand.
I just noticed Miriam’s whole skateboard is a tribute to toy story! It has the lightyear symbol right under it and the skull from Sid’s iconic shirt 😱😱
From the "Awooga" clip you included, the foot thumping could be a shout-out to Thumper from Bambi. From the birthday party scene, when Mei was giving rides, I thought of the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro.
Oh, that’s so funny, I didn’t know about that anime but that makes sense because earlier today when I was watching the documentary about the process of making the movie I saw that My neighbor Toronto was an alternate title for the movie and I didn’t get it at all because they live in Toronto but Turning Red is such a better title but now it kinda makes sense and totally confirms your theory that they were inspired by that!
That red decoration on the wall is not really a reference but more of a general cultural thing. Upside down character for "luck" is kind of like hanging a horse hoof on the wall.
was going to comment this as well; it's such a common symbol across east asian media (and homes/buildings, in real life) that it's not really an easter egg but a truthful representation of how east asians decorate their spaces.
@@FlicksAndTheCity also the number 4 is bad luck because it has the same pronunciation as death. So 444 is literally someone repeating death death death.
@@beeeean The numbers 4 and 9 are both super unlucky in Japan. Four is pronounced "shi," which is the same pronunciation as death. Nine is pronounced "ku," which has the same pronunciation as agony or torture. This is actually the fault of Japanese stealing some of China's numbering systems, since Japan's 4 is "yon", not 'shi', and will be pronounced yon in certain circumstances. There's also liscence plates that have to be specifically requested (will not occur randomly) and are heavily discouraged. For example, 42 and 49 at the end of plates, which are linked to the words for "death (shini 死に)" and "to run over (shiku 轢く)". The full sequences 42-19, (proceeding to death 死に行く) and 42-56 (time to die 死に頃) are also restricted.
As a torontonian (how we call "people from Toronto"), it made me really really happy to know that FINALLY a Disney movie was made in my own city and country! Haha, I screamed basically when I kept on seeing the streetcars and the appearance of the timbits box! Also how ironic, I'm eating a box of timbits right now.
I was actually thinking that it could be Lisa Frank, as it was popular at that time, or gravity falls, as it was owned my Disney. Either one of them could probably be true!
I loved the film. The relationship with her mom and between mom and grandma - so deep. Very good story telling. I loved that they didn’t go the usual route of Mei being ashamed or ridiculed for her panda and instead all the kids loved it! But then again, this is set in Canada, where it seems their default is politeness and enthusiasm. Lol.
I FOUND A INSIDE OUT REFERENCE. I SAW RILEY MULTIPLE TIMES. You can see her first when Mei was on the run as a panda in school. She run towards the bathroom. 2 kids there's one with the trumpet that falls to the other kid. Which is a female with short hair and blonde. Kinda look like Riley from inside out..I know this because I recognize that signature look of her.. The second one. I forgot.. but I do remember what part of the movie... I guess her second appearance was when Mei doing a little business in her school...she was the one who shove Tyler at the side....when his on the line.
I don't know if the two things I noticed count as easter eggs, but I share them anyway: 1) At the concert, you can spot Devon with a camera in the audience. 2) The Panda anchestor thing feels like a nod to Ranma 1/2.
This movie was good and story was amazing! Even though I’m not a 13 year old girl, I think anyone could relate to the message. Plus the animation style is so nice!
Also a super deep cut easter egg that most would not have realized is that the skydome was the actual name for the stadium in Toronto from when the movie takes place, but has since been renamed to the Rogers Centre. People who grew up with it called the skydome still call it that today though even though it was renamed. Also many think that name 4town is a throwback to a Canadian boyband B44 who was popular during that era. Loved seeing my hometown in film though! I screamed everytime I saw a deep cut toronto or canadian reference
@@CWazBroadwayBandGeek Perfect! 😀 Love that two of my fav animals have appeared in animated features in the last few months: red pandas in Turning Red and capybaras (if briefly) in Encanto. 😂
It’s like there’s a Pixar extended universe but they’re more interested in telling their own stories than tying a huge web of interrelated movies like marvel.
I really appreciated all of the Canadian-isms in this movie and how authentic it is to the time period. Like the fact that the dollar bills look as they did during the turn of the century as opposed to the modern look.
Here’s another one for you. When Mei and her mom are watching television, you can see the network logo which is based off of Hong Kong’s network “TVB”-the same network Tony Leung and Fala Chen (who played Shang-Chi’s parents) first debuted. The letters used in the logo are “SHI”-Domee’s last name.
The part in Luca where Alberto bit his lip randomly also happens in Turning red. In the scene where the Mom told mei mei about the red panda curse. jus something I found similar
Awwww, you missed the part where the first few notes of our Canadian National Anthem "O Canada" was written in sheet music form on the wall behind Mei-Mei when she's playing her flute solo in her intro. To be fair, you'd need to be a musician to notice and read that one.
when she's listening to 4 Town on her headphones drawing in her notebook, it's a reference to spider man into the spider-verse when Miles Moralas listens to sunflower and draw comics
Turning red’s message feels like a mix of Luca and Encanto. Exploring yourself and growing older and more independent comes from Luca and the intergenerational trauma of each daughter in turning red carrying the burden of trying to be perfect is inspired by Encanto.
There was a reference that is more specific to Chinese Canadians - the tv right after they showed Jin's cooking, was showing an ancient Chinese television drama presumably from TVB, a Hong Kong television station! As a Chinese Canadian myself, I definitely related to that scene where Mei and her mom were ranting about the television characters ahahaha
Watching this with my daughter, I realized the sword the older guy has looks like the thunder cats. Pointing to the air and with a red circle in the middle.
I saw an article the other day in which (as I recall) Domee shi said this wasn't specifically a thundercats reference but more of a general anime reference. Though it does bear similarity to thundercats as that sort of imagery was popular at the time.
You missed the daisy convenience store... which is an actual store. You missed a ton of mickey head references I think it more of thumper reference then any thing else
Got one. During Mei’s run towards the SkyDome, some camera angles during the run on the buildings are reminiscent of Tobey Maguire’s building run in the original Spider-Man movie, which, coincidentally, was released in the same year Turning Red takes place!
The Chalk circle and the candles are giving me serious "The Skeleton Key" vibes The skeleton key is a horror movie it's about a girl who takes care of people and one day comes to a house with "dark secrets..." EDIT: I didn’t comment this! Is someone on my acc-?..
There’s a split second shot when the kids are in line to see the panda in the hallway, the second person in line looks eerily similar to the girl from inside out!
I think it’s pretty obvious that Priya and the Emo girl from Tyler’s party are a couple and that Priya is Bi Also the band name is based off of the Toronto Canada based boy band O town and the music and outfits are based off of *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys in my opinion Also I always watch till the end of every movie
About Mei's flute case stickers, I felt like some of them were a reference to Lisa Frank's which I remember a lot of us used to love in the early 2000s
The Toronto syline is a nod to the Sailor Moon anime backgrounds. The teeths of the young female characters and the panda itself resemble Studio Ghibli's Totoro and other productions.
10:38 i think the blue jay has more of a reference from the short "dug days" on disney plus, this is because in one of the episodes carl fredrickson or Mr. fredrickson made a bird feeder and a blue jay was trying to eat some of the bird seeds but scared away by a squirrel and the squirrel eats the bird seeds instead
This one is revolving around Abby: Since Abby is a Korean-Canadian, the line where she gets mad for the concert being in Toledo is a reference to a line in Korean Novelas when characters get mad.
In the intro of the movie, there is a shot where a teacher is in their office describing Mei at their desk, and on a bookshelf, you can see a white polar bear wearing a blue jersey with a maple leaf in the center, a clear reference to Carleton the bear, the mascot of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. There is also weirdly for a Canadian set movie, a poster for the 1980 Olympics, known as “the miracle on ice” (there is also a movie about it) where the USA beat the Soviet Union in the gold medal game. As a hockey fan I found these very interesting references to see in a pixar movie
I think they mixed O town and b4.4 in the names and used the general aesthetic of boybands in the 90 (bsb, nsync, etc) but that's something that crossed my mind 😅
The 4 Town boy band is also probably a reference to Canadian boy band B4-4 which had three members (get it before four?). They were even nominated for Best New Group at the 2001 Junos so the timeline is spot on too.
Is no one gonna talk about how meis friend is boo from monsters inc overalls is boos door and she has hair and complexion like her she ears cat ears like for sully loves how cute mei is as a red panda

Ye like when mai mai draws devon the drawing comes to life and winks like a sailor moon wink with the sparkle.

I believe that 4 is an unlucky number because in Chinese, 4 is 四，pronounced as "si", which is also the same pronunciation to the word 死 (die)
oh sheet
as a chinese i never knew that my parents say its just a sacred/unlucky number
similar to how 8 is considered a lucky number for sounding similar to "fortune" in chinese
I knew that my guy
But 4 is my favorite number…
It's the same in Japanese culture too, and even the pronunciation is similar!

About Mei's flute case stickers, I felt like some of them were a reference to Lisa Frank's which I remember a lot of us used to love in the early 2000s
Night fall is also a novel in the anime "Little Witch Academia". Not sure if that was the same idea but they seem very similar.

This makes me want to watch this movie again to try to find these Easter eggs. They're so cool.
You think Priya and Riley from Inside Out would bond over there fondness of Tragic Vampire Romances?
You're so great at making theories! :D

The 4 Town boy band is also probably a reference to Canadian boy band B4-4 which had three members (get it before four?). They were even nominated for Best New Group at the 2001 Junos so the timeline is spot on too.
Turning Red is the one that got me into red pandas!!
what i saw was on mays black bag there is a leaf canda sign
