When the pads were mentioned and SHOWN my jaw literally dropped. I really hope periods continue to be normalized in media geared toward age groups that are starting to experience them. It’s so important.
I remember my dad call me disgusting by making the sofa red, I didn't realize I was in period ;-;
@@chibi_okami I’m sorry you were made to feel bad about something so normal!
@@denise002 It's okay, I still can't believe he said that until now...
@@chibi_okami omg this makes feel violent
IK SUPER SHOCKING I WAS SHOCKED
The fact that Pixar decided to cover topics like having a period as well as the dangers of intimacy at a young age (despite the fact that these are only Mei's fantasy drawings and not real, yet Ming is still overprotective and misinterprets the situation) is AMAZING. Also raise your hand if you've ever been publicly or privately humiliated by your parents as a teen :)
That one sure was surprising to me
🤚🏻
I drew pictures too and my dad found them. Oh lort. It was so embarrassing 😳
raised
*raises hand*!
I don't think Turning Red has been getting enough credit for how different and unique it is compared to other Pixar films.
I can tell why it's different by their big mouth and sparkling eyes
Give audiences a bit more time to discover it. It's currently the top trending on D Plus in the U.S.
I keep watching it and seeing more inclusion and I love it. It’s really changing the rules and creating a new wave of creativity. More movies and shows like this can really help to spread inclusion to younger generations. It’s also just really cute and dorky and I love it!
Agreed
O
I really love how Pryia and the emo girl had a cute bound and I wish they made her more 2000s emo kid,since the year in the movie is around the early 2000s.
As someone who remembers 2002 (and in toronto no less), the emo trend was about to show up, but wasn't there just yet. So the girl being more of a goth made sense for the times
Not to mention she might be bi.
@@canaanzaghawski1478 I wouldn't even consider that... She could have just connected with someone more goth and dark, instead of her very peppy and hyper friends!
@@canaanzaghawski1478 because she danced with some goth girl?💀 they didn't even interact for the rest of the movie
Yea lol 😆🤣 that interaction was there for like 1 second LMBO 😂
I absolutely loved Miriam. I wish we could’ve gotten an explanation why Mei’s mother didn’t like/approve of her.
Me too, Mei seemed to be closer with Miriam than with Abby or Priya, and Mei is mostly calm around her.
Probably because she likes things usually associated with boys like her outfit and skateboarding
Sound kinda controversial beside tomboyish appearance (Avril Lavigne era of Sk8ter Boy),Miriam is one and only friend who wasn't have any Asian bloodline (Mei,Abby & Tyler were Asian-Canadian,Priya is Indian)
Probably because, by her own admition, she never had any friends, due to Mei's grandma unhealthy expectations. It s a generational habit
Miriam was the biggest threat to "lead" Mei down a wrong path, in Ming's eyes. She didn't see Abby or Priya as dominant personalities. Little did Ming know that Mei was actually the dominant one in the group.
It’s wonderful to see an accurate representation of middle schoolers and young women. It’s also nice to see a character having that relationship with a parent the way my mom and I do on screen. This movie made me feel so understood :)
Right, because there isn't thousands of movies and tv shows that talk incessantly on these issues.
@@aimeejo3405 thousand we both yes is an exaggeration it’s hard because the mentioning of period the media thinks like Twitter have made taboo but suspiciously the same adult jokes about Dicks are Ingrained in a lot of things including (secretly so) in kids films
Did you know that there are a bunch of adult white men complaining that a movie about teenage girls isn’t relatable to them? Lol, I wonder why.
@@punkivy9776 Not relatable? Maybe it's time to explore and understand.
The fact that they blatantly talked about pads and period supplies was so shocking in a good way
Yes! I remember when I was in 6th grade a pad fell out of my backpack and my friend saw and I just remember thinking how my mom would tell me I shouldn't tell anyone I got it or that I was on it EVER. Like I should be embarrassed if my friends found out. It makes me a smidge mad to remember lol
I was a teen in the 2000's, (turned 13 in '05) so the nostalgia of boy band fever, tamagotchi's and the Twilight craze *Priya was reading a book that echoes of Twilight* hit hard.
Dude I was that Teen Girl around that time lol! 🖤
I turned 13 in '06
I was born in the year of Disney’s Mulan. I was young during the 2000’s and had a huge childhood with Disney
No Way! I was Born in 2005 (i'm now turning 17 in 2 months) but i don't remember anything about the 2000's
I was 13 in 2009, and my biggest obsession(s) are/were Hannah Montana, The Little Mermaid, Kasey Kahne--not a NASCAR fan, but I still like him either way--animals, music--mostly Christian, Country, and Pop, but I eventually grew up with other genres--and the Jonas Brothers and Zac Efron were/still are some of my celebrity crushes. 😂
The fact that it minorly covers puberty is one of the reasons why i like this movie. because it's one of the few Pixar films to cover such a mature topic, well except maybe for Inside Out but that film covered the topic in a different way.
You are everywhere dude
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star shit up
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star no it's not
Inside Out mentioned it at the end didn’t it?
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star which one " turning red" or " inside out" Ihave seen inside out ,but have not yet seen turning red . I HAVE to be in the mood for animated films/ shows. .Also I know what people like is subjective and you have the right to not like every movies ever made , ,but is it really neccissary to say more than I did not care for it ,or it was not for me ,or something along those l Ines?
I love how people are going nuts about talking about menstruation is "inappropriate" in a kids movie. But far from it. Its a wonderful tool for parents to ease their way into discussing these things and changes. Plus it gives a little glimpse of how people feel, think, and adjust to big bodily changes.
Literally it’s disgusting that people are uncomfortable with menstruation being talked about. It is normal for half of the population.
@@CommanderCodey in some cultures they even celebrate it as a part of growing up. i'd argue that the process which precedes the result of pregnancy is even more disgusting and..you know what? nobody complains about that being the main topic of every 1-in-3 songs you hear on the radio. bs
@@haydenjones8978 Ikr?My family never had menstruation as a taboo,and when started having my period at 13, both grandma and mom supported me so much or were like Mei's mom, going crazy with the pads bc hadn't any and we had to use some they had from yrs ago(in perfect conditions tho,but older) 😂😂✋
so sad
Mom went next day to buy new ones but that day was so XD for me or weird,until of they told me ab it. But i had already a minimum idea ab what period was those days. Just that didn't expect it that day
@@xd._.28234 that's nice!
@@CommanderCodey Thats incredibly rude. Some people feel uncomfortable talking about bodily functions, which includes menstruation. It also includes other bodily fluids that every human has(male and female), they just don't like talking about it and there is nothing wrong with that. We are all comfortable with different things.
I never knew how badly I needed to see an ACCURATE depiction of being a tween girl - goofy, sincere female friendship, dealing with periods, crushes and fangirling, absolutely all of it.
There are so many films involving boys’ coming-of-age, from Stand By Me to Luca and they are incredible, too - along with plenty of joking about the grosser stuff (cough American Pie and Co cough). But when has there been such an accurate, true and honestly humanising look at the same for girls? Why is it that what’s considered gross for boys is less taboo than what’s considered gross for girls?
I had never even realised until seeing this movie just how much has been blatantly missing from representations of girls’ experiences in film. So much of our presentation centres on desirability, either having it or not having it, so finally, FINALLY seeing what it’s actually like to simply exist from our own perspective/memories of lived experience is shocking. Growing up isn’t all about learning to be mature, beautiful, driven or desirable - all acceptable traits of womanhood. It’s also messy, funny, awkward, gross, and full of evolving relationships.
On a really basic level, Turning Red puts to film what every woman already knew: tween girls are just as gross, goofy and connected as tween boys. Its existence goes further and makes a stand for something we might have hesitated to believe: tween girls are just as deserving of having those experiences recognised.
Thank you to all who made this film for creating something so true, so real - so hopeful.
Reposting bc hopefully can explain a bit to ppl who got the ick from it lol
"most coming of age movies are about boys"
Bruh what
I appreciate this comment a lot
Well said!
Yeees!!! 😭😭😭
I completely agree, and it's so stupid how taboo it is; it's life, it shouldn't be sugarcoated at all.
As Pixar’s 25th animated film, I immediately fell in love with the humor, the friendship and unleashing your inner animal
so being angry and disrespecting your parents is a good thing????
@Lady Ashington Yes! Finally someone who get's it! I was severely disappointed by the message this movie seemed to have. I definately will NOT be letting my kids watch this one as they do not need a negative influence like Mei. She is a jerk to her mom, no matter how wrong her mom might be.
i love how disney is taking a big step in releasing movies like turning red and encanto which cover taboo topics such as womanhood and generational trauma
This, exactly!
I liked the movie very much.
Humor moments, unique characters, funny scenes, plus 4th wall jokes are interesting.
Relatable it was too. Honour others but honour yourself too.
I can relate to putting my parents first before anything. It's been basically my life since i finished high school. At least my parents are not neurotic and they sometimes pressure me to make smart decisions. Also i have autism so i can get easily anxious.
@@manuelorozco7760 understatement that is
@@Orto-jj2di What do you mean?
@@manuelorozco7760 I meant that I see your point.
Sometimes you have to thunk yourself but a from time to time you aren't against a parental aid.
@@Orto-jj2di Yes because i still live with them, I'm close to my 30's, i don't have people around my age i hang out with and for the most part, we make it work. My dad and i saw the movie together yesterday at the El Capitan in Hollywood. He's semi retired who tries his best to have time for me. My mom works from home and multitasks with house chores.
Loved, loved, loved this movie!! The themes of parental pressure, perfectionism and puberty are so relatable!
Definitely!
Those who say it isn't relatable probably didn't watch it yet
I enjoyed the movie myself.
@@Orto-jj2di absolutely agree!
*insert “Pressure” song here*
This movie genuinely is a love letter to both those of us that were Mei's age then (I was totally the weird nerdy girl with the fanart that was bullied) and yet something so many kids now, who I've seen through my niece's eyes being told by social media to grow up faster and be prim and proper adults by preteen age and hide these parts of themselves, also need these lessons.
Yes I was the same age as Mei in 2002. This movie was really nostalgic for me.
I also like how in the climax when it comes to the Ritual Song it just simply has to be sung from the heart and I enjoy it when two contrast such as the past traditional Chinese ways and the present new era trends come together to show that despite their differences they can combine for a greater future
The fact that people got angry over this movie just shows how unique it is. It's fine if people like it or not (I personally love it), but I think it will be looked back on as an important family film that normalized young girls going through puberty. I can't really think of another movie that has pioneered it like "Turning Red" has. I'm happy to be a part of history.
The only people who got angry, are the same ones who make having women control of their own body illegal, and can't stand idea of a strong independent woman existing, in a white male capitalist USA.
The fact that up to now my youtube still covered with Turning Red also shows how successful it is
God I lover this movie, not just because it wasn't afraid to talk about periods & intimacy at a young age (despite it just being fantasy, it's still dangerous at such a young age) but it also follows the theme of generational trauma that Encanto began. Both movies handled it amazingly in my opinion & I'm so happy that such issues & topics are being talked about. Despite what many are saying, these themes are NOT "inappropriate" for children. I watched it with my 10yr sister who (coincidentally) had just started her period & she actually felt more comfortable asking my mother & I questions about puberty after watching the movie & I'm honestly happy about that
Yes I agree, but please, can people stop mentioning Encanto? it's a great movie I know, but let's just not compare the two and focus on turning red?.
@@anneasmi I'm not comparing the 2, I'm just saying they both handled the theme of Generational Trauma well. Neither handled the message better than the other
@@alyssalopez3421 that’s literally what comparing is
@@snowwyzenn no, it's using the other as an example
@@snowwyzenn you don't know what comparison means do you?
I loved how the movie focused on the mother and daughter relationship, but still included the dad a lot, and referred to past occurances between the mother and father.
Jin, the dad, is the one that helps with the breakthrough by explaining (when he finds the videos) how much he likes what his daughter thought she had to keep secret. I have a 10yo daughter, and I hope to be a dad like Jin.
@@chrisa0001 That was a stand-out moment that rehabilitated the way they seemed to be portraying the father. I appreciated it. I recently had a moment like that with my 30-year-old daughter...a sadness we shared that her mother could not understand.
I love this film. It really captures the feelings during that specific, and often overwhelming, time really well. Especially the keen embarrassment and the tight friendships given more trust than parents suddenly.
The diversity is so accurate to Canada and Im so happy they included that. Canada's diversity and the normalization of our many different cultures is one of the things i love most about my country
Canada is 73% white, the movie is wildly *in*accurate
@@swbrl2843 that's the total population bruh,the movie is in Toronto
@@swbrl2843 you realize that different areas of canada have different concentrations of poc, right? This only takes part in Toronto, not the whole ass country of canada.
I've never been to Canada, but I agree that it was so cool to see different kinds of cultures living there. I didn't know what to expect from this movie at all, so seeing a Chinese-Canadian was definitely new for me, but it didn't make Mei less relatable.
@@swbrl2843 It didn't show ALL of Canada, and this person lives in Canada; they only showed Toronto. 😂
This movie takes me back to my youth. I was 13 years old in May 2002, and I did a bunch of the things that Mei and her friends did. Well, except for hustling classmates to go to a concert.
i was one yo back then in 2002 🤣
But at 7 or sth we still had those tamagotchis, hell, i played with one.
I love how there is no villain in Turning Red--like Encanto too--and how Pixar continues to embrace other cultures. It's gorgeous 🤩💕
I would argue that Abuela is a villain in Encanto...
In my opinion I feel like villains aren't villains that they are just people that were wronged for things, unless you born a villain then you a villain
Exactly! I'm excited to see if they make a story about my country too!(Greece). I'm very tired of media and cinema misrepresenting it and spinning things around. Seeing how well other cultures have taken the movies Pixar made about their culture I can't help but wish I'll see a similar result
Mei was the villain. With her friends being the sidekicks.
Just finished watching this movie on Disney+. My favourite characters are definitely Abby and Priya.
Loved this movie so much, 10/10 for sure.
i wish i had disney+ but im in a country without it :,) though its coming in august i think!
Agree!!
I think that Turning Red should get a spin off series
YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!
@@ErikZarins And should be a Kingdom Hearts world.
That would be awesome! I can picture that!
I think it will. It did extremely well on Disney+ (and I'm talking worldwide). There's definitely gonna be some kind of spinoff, a series, or something.
After how awesome Monsters At Work is turning out, maybe.
"Turning Red" is without a single doubt, another winner for Disney and Pixar! There were a bunch of times that even a 45-year old man like me had me laughing out loud. I feel this was the best coming-of-age movie in a very long time!
I can obviously say that Mei’s mom is nothing like other animated moms
And that's not a good thing.😏😏😏😏
She's similar to the mom from Brave, but better
At least she’s not dead
She's the typical extremely uptight, conventional, strict Asian parent, as an Asian myself, I have met a lot of people like Mei's mom in real life, some are even worse
I wish my strict asian parents are like her, im not close to my parents at all.
I love how this movie addresses the unrealistic expectations that too many parents put on their children. Having gone through that myself it was nice watching this movie and being able to relate to it.
As a teenager who is still obsessed with Pixar and Disney I caught everyone joke about adolescence puberty and every thing else and it was so refreshing to have this much stuff about things I went through in a movie made to be relatable to teenagers
Being a Canadian, it was so amazing seeing Toronto portrayed so accurately!! So many scenes that were instantly recognizable and heart warming ❤️
I honestly don't understand why people are hating on this movie so much. I mean, yeah, it shares similar themes to a few other Pixar & Disney movies, but so what? It does it all beautifully, and it's just fun and refreshing and cute. I've noticed Disney have shied a bit away from all their grand adventure films in favor of smaller, simpler things recently, but what's so bad about that? It's still charming and sweet, and honestly built for gen z and younger millennials. So why do people hate it?
Could it be... misogyny?
...nah.
Because their protagonist isn't 100% western
Because it’s different and many people are terrified of change . This movie is as they say “ahead of its time “ for many people
Because some people think that a « kids » movie shouldn’t talk about female puberty, because according to some men on Twitter it’s inappropriate.
(But they have no problem with Frollo singing a song that talks about raping Esmeralda or Tarzan running around the jungle half naked.)
@@melissa-annefrigon7973 that's right. The main Disney animation studio actually got away with stuff like that and yet some viewers are calling this movie crossing the line? (Sassy) I don't think so!
I think it's actually important for "kids" films touch on adult stuff that probably float over their head when their kid but truly come to appreciate it when they're adults because in a way it helps prepare them for the stuff they might not understand now but will later
I'm 29 and i actually like the new slice of life approach they have taken with Onward, Soul, Luca, Encanto and Turning Red
I love it how Pixar sends message to the audiences and it makes most people feel better about themselves. Keep it up Pixar!
I saw Sikhs, hijabi Muslims, people of all shades, different Asians than just Chinese....black people, white people...just no little green aliens. I enjoyed immensely
Indian woman wearing bindi too
This movie was so hilarious, so adorable and the illustration of friendships and growing pains directly from female voices was a much needed addition to the world of Disney/Pixar animation 🥳❤️
I was like disney hit the age of calling out toxic family dynamics and what stress comes with being a child
This actually felt like a movie for teenagers and adults who were teenagers during that time period. It was a perfect middle between being mature and fun, much like a teenager growing up, as well as representing all types of culture that didn’t feel forced. The early 2000s teenagers and Chinese myths and traditions blended so well. Not to mention how funny this movie was. I keep going back to the scene where Mei’s aunties arrive at the temple lmao
theyre just like my grandma and myy other 12048473837282 billion female relatives fighting over whats different about me lol
I love how Mei, Miriam and Abby were supportive of Priya possibly being queer, and dancing with the goth girl. Especially since the early 2000's sadly weren't exactly the most LGBTQA friendly time, but it's sweet to see a positive depiction here. 🏳️🌈
It really wasn’t at all not to mention how a lot of people were very racist then
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star not enough for you to skip the video and not comment
Tbh I had a very strong suspicion there was something between Mei and Miriam, Miriam was always the first one to speak out of the group and the movie is from Meis perspective, Ming insulting Miriam also seemed to be the turning point before the red panda
Not to mention Miriam is trans, it's canon!
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star it's not great
Turning Red is now my new favorite Disney Pixar movie. I love the animation.
As an almost-lifelong diabetic, I got SO excited when I saw the kids wearing insulin pumps/sites in the movie! I even remember wearing that style of site back in the 2000s. So cool!
Awww, I love Pryia straight up asking if Mei needs more pads. And legit brought extra for her. I remember girls full on afraid to even admit they had a single pad, let alone asking a friend if they needed one, till they got to highschool, so I love this exchange in particular
Mei's mom hiding behind the tree reminded of SCREAM a little bit. Only because her mom in that scene is super stalker-ish. That being said this movie was awesome and was a great movie!
I honestly really loved this movie. I watched it with my mom and it just reminded both of us about how we were at 13 and all the crazy things we do and say at that age
This movie really hit my heart hard. In the best way. It’s one of my new favorite movies. 💖 Thank you for making this movie, Pixar.
8:30 Fruits Basket being referenced? Nice! As someone who saw the reboot and loved it, it's great to see Fruits Basket get referenced by the director!
Edit: Come to think of it, Turning Red and Fruits Basket do seem to have some similarities considering the animal transformations! Haven't seen the film yet though.
Fruits Basket is getting an OVA featuring Tohru's parents and the manga has a sequel series which features the next generation. It's called Fruits Basket: Next. It also just recently got a stage play adaptation that is supposed to stream live internationally, which is a HUGE first for Japanese stage plays.
@@aznmochibunny Yeah I already know about the OVA and sequel. I didn't know about the live stream of the stage show though!
Ive only seen the original never watched reboot its a great anime
I literally just finished watching this movie last night!! I loved it!! ❤️
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star and not Cars 2?
@SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star stop commenting the same thing get a life kiddo
I related so much to Mei on working so hard on school and to get good grades, then being so hard on myself if it wasn’t perfect.😞
This movie was so amazing with its story, humor and animation. Love it!😊💖💜
My dad used to always expect All A's on my report cards back in middle school.
I just saw Turning Red yesterday at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood. The dance party before the movie was so much fun. It's another Pixar winner with offbeat joy, color and genuine heart. As a 29 year old, I have a bit more nostalgia towards boy bands than the 00's anime craze in North America. Sailor Moon was the first Japanese cartoon i ever enjoyed and i have my 3 minutes younger brother to thank. The 3rd act takes the small emotional stakes to the next level. I guess Pixar may have a new formula to bring them into the post-COVID 2020's.
I love Turning Red because it's both funny and heartwarming.
This movie was very relatable and very cute. The red Panda design is super cute too. 🥰😍😍
My daughter and I loved that movie and it opened up great conversation that us ladies gotta have with our girls when it comes to Aunt Flo ❤️
Love it! Thanks for sharing, Britt!
… you know there are books on the human body, right? They’ve been a thing for literally decades, and nothing was stopping you from buying them for your kids, aside from the stigma against mitochondria.
Great film, especially Mei herself. Just imagine if the events of this film did happen, all the characters are real, years later after 2002 and she's 33, probably married, and has kids that transformed into little red panda cubs running around the house. I would pay good money to know what her future is like now in the present year 2022
I think that would be pretty grim and would rather see where Meilin is in the early 2010s. In 2022, people were still wearing masks, and seeing panda kids wearing masks doesn't seem too pleasant to watch. Some things about better forgotten about.
@@rommix0 uhh maybe but it would be nice to see how she's been doing after the events of the movie took place at
It's a little too early for me to want to think that. As long as the creative team is interested in a sequel, i want to see it strongly justified.
@@manuelorozco7760 right? Exactly. Thank you
@@hunterrousseau3770 Because i appreciate Pixar as a studio too much to see them mess up.
This movie literally shows what needed to be shown in media, it needs to be normalized, and yes it's a natural occurrence that happens to everyone as they hit a certain age. It also gently opens the discussion between parents and kids about these subjects, because not everyone gets these kind of talks with their parents because there's no respect between parent and child by assuming _"Kids are too young to learn about this and won't understand."_ Kids will understand a lot more than you give them credit for, no kid likes to be talked down to in a condescending baby voice, you have to be real with them, and talk to them like you would any normal person with the same kind of respect. I've always hated that when growing up myself, so I understand how it feels, whenever I tried to talk about a serious topic as a child, I'd always be talked down to in a condescending tone from an adult, and made to feel like my say, my voice has no meaning or weight in what I said. -- Sure kids can do stupid things, but don't ignore the fact that they can understand the things you talk to them about, because if you don't respect them, they won't respect you, and/or trust you to come talk to you about issues they're having, especially about subjects like puberty which is a huge change in their life they need guidance and support on the most.
i think we can all agree that turning red is the most relatable coming of age story in pixar history. no other pixar movie ever covered "taboo" topics such as periods, or focus on a typical friendship group, things that alot of people experience in real life. Great job Pixar!!!!!
Abby is by far one of my favorite supporting characters. This movie is officially one of my favorite Pixar movies
I love this movie, I really thought it was going to be bad,but no. I love that they explored the over protective mom daughter relationship. I could relate to it. Also how friendships usually pull us away from spending time with our parents as we become our own person and develop our own relationships. Parents not respecting boundaries was a big one. It cringe me out because looking back that's how my friends and I behaved 😂 and still do to this day. 10/10.
While the animation for Turning Red is inspired by anime, the designs of their mouths & their teeth reminds me a little of the animation studio called Aardman, the same guys that brought us Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run.
Lol i thought i was the only one realizing that. The characters actions and gesture might heavily influenced by anime but Mei's character design is influenced by Aardman.
“OOH, HO-HO-Ho, THAT’S ‘Nothing! You Wanna See ‘CRASS’?!” Meilin ‘Mei’ Lee, 2021
I really liked the movie. There was one thing I would have added: Meis hair could have been slowly turning from black to red to show her development.
I also would have liked to see Devon seen again later on.
@@manuelorozco7760 They just forgot him :/
@@barnabasgaal9845 I know right. Talk about the familiar trope Small Role Big Impact
@@manuelorozco7760 he's actually in the concert crowd at 4*towns concert when robaire starts saying 'you want it'
@@Hunny3000 I didn’t notice
A thing that I liked about this movie was that the main characters weren't that good looking. Not ugly, just very average teenagers, and that creates positive character flaws. Not everyone is going to look like a supermodel and it makes characters that we can relate with. Tokyo Godfathers is also another great example of this trope.
This movie surprised me on so many levels, the mentioning of periods, the fiction teens write, listening to a parent, trying not to disappoint your parents. It's so relateable and refreshing. Just mad that the reviews are so sensitive to the topic "period" LIKE WHAT?!
… you know that periods are something that literally every girl gets, right? It’s a perfectly normal bodily function - the movie even treats it as such.
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster Of course, but alot of people try to hide it as if it's something "bad" or "inapropriate"
Turning Red made me laugh so much that I was truing with tears, such an amazing film. Pixar knocked it out of the park with Turning Red
I absolutely ADORED Turning Red. The fact that I grew up and live in Toronto just brought up so many memories like the SkyDome (renamed to Roger's Center...eww), Tamagotchi, and older streetcars.
I had a lot of Chinese and Korean friends growing up and it's nice to see how they honored the traditions. I also love the fact that female puberty is talked about as well as how the film is centered around friendships and growing up.
It hit a personal note with the relationship she had with her mom, especially at the end. As a new parent myself and growing up somewhat with a controlling mom, it hits home.
I loved it!
This movie is already severely underrated and deserves so much more hype and love for the way it changed the game. It’s such a huge step for representation and so unique in its structure.
The soundtrack is mad crazy, plus the movie is so aesthetic also the humor is amazing, i’m obsessed with this movie 😭
The music in some moments in the movie made me think about the early 2000s. I made me remember some songs and some movies from the soundtrack. It was like going back in time
I want to say that I suspected that the creative forces driving the making of this film were female when I immediately saw that the subject matter was so distinctly female centered. But I never looked at the credits, which if I were really curious about that, I probably would have. I normally watch the credits trying to see if I recognize anyone on the crew. I find it especially thrilling when I do! This time I didn't, and I could blame the fact that I was watching with my daughter and her daughter, but I am not throwing them under the bus.
I love this movie. My favorite part was when Mei's mom confused her Red Panda for her first menses. I remember both of my girls getting theirs. My wife and I weren't nearly as well prepared as Ming. Not physically, anyway. I was emotionally prepared, so hurray for small victories. As much as I tried to help, neither of my girls were ready to accept my assistance in this matter. I was relegated to running to the pharmacy at 3:00 AM for supplies. I was happy for whatever value I could add. But I LOVED the support team Mei had between her mom and her friends. That warmed my heart.
I really liked the way it covered “taboo” subjects in a way that didn’t shame them as well as didn’t make them in a way where people who didnt experience those subjects feel that they can’t relate or enjoy the movie.
This makes me all the more angry that Disney cancelled the theatrical release. I still have the feeling the pandemic was more of an excuse. I hope the previous Pixar films have at least 10 things that are unlike the others and I hope we can get a future Pixar movie in theaters that can top Turning Red with this kind of subject. As Kermit and Rowlf would sing "I hope that something better comes along".
love how its not a baby-type disney movie and covers real world topics
I LUV Turning Red. It's been added to my long list of Disney favs. The characters, the storyline, everything.
It's incredible to see Pixar continue to break new ground. PLEASE keep making originals!!
Despite their being a couple of issues, I think Turning Red is another great Pixar movie, plus, it is nice to see something new from the studio and more original films. Although, I do think Lightyear is going to be the superior Pixar movie of this year.
Superior as in the writing, or superior because you want to see existing characters from 25 years ago rehashed like every bad Disney remake? There's a difference between the two, and to be honest I want see Pixar make more movies like Turning Red.
As in the writing, besides, at least Pixar isn’t doing any live action remakes.
I'm not going tough on Lightyear but not going easy either. That's the same approach i took with Turning Red
At the last half of the movie, I really loved the Cantonese chanting and 4town pop mix so much 😃✨
This movie came out at the right time-my daughter just got her period and is going through puberty 😊
I lost my shit when Mei's mother brought out the products for menstrual pains. Me and my boyfriend were watching and when the ibuprofen came out i was like "HOLY SHIT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT CAUSES PAIN AAAA"
One of the loveliest, funniest, cutest most UNIQUE movies ever!!!!!! Thank you, DISNEY & PIXAR, for bringing this wonder of a movie/concept idea into our lives!!! Show of hands who is rooting for Mei-Mei!!!! :))
10:44 One of the reasons why I love this movie
This is crazy well-done! Thank you!
Turning Red is a fantastic movie and I'm so happy Pixar covered and normalized these topics that are often rarely talked about. The negative reviews about people not being able to connect to it are exhausting. All of us have gone through puberty and our own versions of generational trauma of trying to please our parents over our own happiness and it's so easy to relate to these characters. We've seen many movies where that focus on the male perspective and I'm glad that this openly discusses the female journey. I can't wait to see where Domee Shi goes from here, being the first woman to direct a short film and the first woman with sole director's credit on a feature film for Pixar! About damn time.
I think it’s safe to say we all could laugh at our cringey 13yo selves thanks to this movie
Turning Red is not only a good Pixar movie, but is really unique. I like the 2000's element cause now EVERYBODY (including me) is talking about how freaking great the 2000's Era was. Also, I think this is halfway or almost close to a Teen (13 age) movie for pixar.
And I might be a male, but I actually really like the girls in Turning Red, they're just themselves and they're really unique, and Tyler is the only male in the female party, kinda like is reverse team gender party role. I also like the anime-like eyes and expressions also.
… you know there are plenty of other stories with a token guy, right?
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster yes I know that. But I was talking about how There's only one boy in a girl's team. Like a reserved gender-party like for this: If you watch One piece or Bleach, then cool anyway: There's only three or four girls in Straw Hats, and only 2 females in Ichigos team. Even Sonic the Hedgehog on Team Sonic is mainly Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles but also Amy. And she's the only female in the males team. That's what I talking about. But let me know if there's something I need to know. (Not being sarcastic by the way.).
This makes my heart so happy ! What a great gem that is a throw back to that uncomfortable time in all of our lives.
The fact that they broached the subject of periods….I was blown away and applauding wildly!! Amazing. Bravo, Pixar!!
When I first watched this, I see a combo of Mulan and Kung Fu Panda
The biggest thing I noticed was that they actually said curses. It’s a movie that’s kind of targeted towards younger children, so it’s not everyday you hear a Pixar character cuss
What cursing?
@@majorlazor5058 I’m pretty sure they said crap at a few points
@@_primrse_1252 oh… hahaha. Yeah. Probably.
It was definitely targeting an older key audience than most Disney animated films would. And I absolutely loved it.
A great movie!! Can't wait to see the next movie from this really good team !!
I just watched the movie last night and I thought it was really good. Now my daughter needs to watch it cause she was a teen in the 2000”s so she can relate to Mei mei.
I've rewatched this movie so many times now. Loved everything but especially when she's dancing and gyrating to irk her mom. Her friends constantly having her back make them the best. Abby is my fav. Though.
I watched it 3 times…
I love how this film showed Mei-Mei break the fourth wall, and göransson’s score is amazing! I hope he’ll get nominated for an oscar, and a golden globe.
I loved Turning Red! We watched it as a family and even my husband was laughing with us. We even had small discussions about my middle/high school days and how things change still.
I know there’s famous friends in widely known movies and TV shows but their friendship is the 21st century of this year
You can say that but I was a kid in the early 2000’s. I had huge love of Disney and Pixar back then but I added SpongeBob, Barbie, Studio Ghibli, and Tom and Jerry
I love turning red
Meis Family Transformation is like the Old Transformation of Ultraman
i love mei’s design when shes in school bc she acts like the most strap on backpack and music case holder kid ever 😳

I adored it, and how it was unafraid to discuss mature subjects, like periods and family trauma.
Not quite on par with Pixar’s greatest films but kinda like A Bug’s Life, Luca, Onward, and the first Cars movie not one of Pixar’s best movies but that doesn’t mean it’s horrible.
It also did what 2012’s Brave couldn’t do right.
I'm thinking that the Turning Red movie on Disney Plus is really good because they tackle of starting the puberty, LGBTQ+ representation which is a positive feedback and have a most of the characters are likeable for this movie.
Loved it.
The movie was so good I watched it twice. I have a 2-year-old nephew who likes this film because of the red panda that he finds funny.
Director Domee Shi did a splendid job in directing her first full-length feature for Pixar. It makes the concept of female adolescence and family lifestyles from an Asian perspective feel normal and nothing to be embarrassed about.
The red panda design is clearly a nod to Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro, while the transformation of becoming a red panda and reverting back is reminiscent to the comedic nature of Ranma 1/2.
That inside out song playing at 2:36 is my lyrical song this year
