Turning Red Movie Description:
Mei Lee is a 13-year-old girl who is torn between being her mother's obedient daughter and the chaos of her youth. As if that were not enough, when she gets too excited, she turns into a big red panda.
Turning Red is a 2022 American animated coming-of-age fantasy comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It was directed by Domee Shi, in her feature directorial debut, and written by Shi and Julia Cho. The film stars the voices of Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Orion Lee, Wai Ching Ho, Tristan Allerick Chen, and James Hong.
Set in Toronto, Ontario in 2002, Turning Red follows Meilin "Mei" Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian student who transforms into a giant red panda when she gets into a state of strong emotion. Inspired by Shi's experiences in Toronto, the film began development in 2018 after she pitched it to Pixar in October 2017. It is the first Pixar film solely directed by a woman and the second to feature an Asian lead character after Up (2009).
After a special screening that took place in London at Everyman Borough Yards on February 21, 2022, Turning Red had its world premiere on March 1, and was released on the Disney+ streaming service on March 11, along with simultaneous limited runs at the El Capitan Theatre, AMC Empire 25, and Grand Lake Theatre in the United States and Showcase Cinema de Lux in the United Kingdom. It was released theatrically in most countries without Disney+, and received critical acclaim for its story, humor, animation, vocal performances, and use of culture.

I can imagine being a giant red panda would be fun
Me too! I would be loved by everyone!
@@curtisashby768 well in reality police will be involved and that'll spoil everything :(
We've Got A Freaking Kaiju Up In This Shit!
@@gunzooray I understand that reference
I want to be a giant panda
I don’t know why so many people were hating on this movie! Even if you’re not a 13 year old Canadian Chinese girl doesn’t mean you can’t relate to this movie! Generational trauma is real and every one goes through puberty! Absolutely loved your reaction good job 💗
I never hate this movie.🤷🏿♂️
Nicely said.
I presume they hate it because it is an almost uncomfortable reality of womanhood. I am not a woman, I'm not Asian. I don't meet the archetypal audience for this movie. Yet. I adored it, was so well made and the soundtrack was phenomenal
I hear ya. I grew up with A Goofy Movie, and both films touch on a lot of the same messages. There's just a different flavor to this one that makes it more impactful to demographics I'm not a part of. That doesn't keep me from enjoying it, though. Regardless of gender and cultural background, it's the human condition
I think I'm critical of some of these movies and I loved it so I don't understand why anybody would hate on this. 9/10 for me.
You immediately gained my respect for not being one of those dudes who “can’t enjoy” or bash this movie for supposedly not being able to “relate” to it or find it “cringe” just because the cast is mainly teenage girls and women, but instead openly enjoying it and showing emotion, too. Especially as you said you judged it at first but still gave it a chance!
It’s embarrassing that men who hate on the movie probably think they have such macho energy but it’s actually guys like you who are the ones who appear the most confident and secure in their masculinity, which is super dope 👍
Agree with all of that!👍🏿
Truth. I'm a guy and I LOVE this movie. I'm from Toronto, so I like seeing my hometown too.
Guys who hate on this movie probably also hate on any movie with a female lead for being "forced feminism"or some shit(like the guys who hate the Star Wars sequels for no reason.)
@@phousefilms Love to hear that! I think it’s a great movie and a lot of people are jumping on the hate train just because it’s trendy or just to have something to counter I guess. I do understand that there are people who don’t like it just because it’s not their cup of tea and that’s completely fine. But in that case you should just be able to move on.. Not every movie has to be meant for you.
And you’re absolutely correct. It takes a special kind of insecurity or some kind of deep hatred for women to feel personally offended by anything with a more female bias. I think the saddest part is probably how I’ve seen guys who defend movies like this or openly support similar things get called panderers and “simps” and what not by other men. You just can’t win. But oh well, that’s just another sign of their insecurity if you ask me 🤷♀️
Honestly I was more worried that this movie was going to be too child friendly. If a man is still worried about the main cast being mostly female he needs to get over himself or watched too many bad chick flicks
Hmm which reactions you watched? Only dudes I seen that basically dissed them was I think they called white noise but I seen a lot of dudes who loved it.
that 4-town music had no business being that good. I was also vibing the whole time lol also, I loved how awkward and carefree Mei's character was and how you were parenting her throughout the entire reaction haha great reaction, as usual Mel ❤️
All the music (4 town) was made by Billy eilish and someone else
@@Diffhello Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas
I’ll be honest. Bob’s Burgers has spoiled me in regards to fake boy bands. 4-Town was good, but I know coulda been better 😉
@@Tankapot I love them!!! 😍
@@Tankapot yo, big shout out for Billie eilish's brother for being his own artists instead of going of as Bilie eilish's brother and calling a day (cause honestly, that's what I'd do)
“The farther you go, the prouder I’ll be”
A lot of us needed to hear that
A lot of us were told the opposite growing up. This movie really packs a punch to the heart for me.
Mei Mei grossing her mom out by twerking is one of the scenes that made me laugh the hardest.
21:18-21:20 😆 me too.
I appreciate you crying and not making any excuses or trying to down play it, especially when most guys minimize it or cut it out from the video entirely.
The rawness of Ming the mother acknowledging she messed up and actually apologizing without any backhanded remark or excuse, that’s the good fucking food, that’s all I ever wanted from my emotionally neglectful and abusive mother, and I know I’m not alone in that.
Mad respect for the tears!!
There's a reason why the autocomplete on youtube is turning red woke trash / turning red woke garbage and all you have to do is hit search and you'll see videos on all the reasons why.
I'm surprised Pixar didn't get any help from Hiyao Miyazaki because that could've fooled me!
This movie is ridiculously accurate to the experience growing up as a second gen kid of an Asian immigrant and I bawled multiple times throughout the film because of how incredibly relatable it was. Watching this was honestly one of the most cathartic experiences I've ever had as a moviegoer and I'm honestly deeply grateful that it exists because I never thought I would be able to explain the more difficult aspects of my upbringing to people without the same experience. Thanks to this movie, I now feel like I can, and in a way I think it helped me deal with some tough aspects of my emotional healing journey that I wasn't fully able to before. The scene where Mei Lin leads the child version of her mother through the forest so her mom can finally "grow up" and become the mother she needed to be is literally the best part of the movie and
imo the best visual/onscreen representation of generational trauma I have ever seen, I'd argue even better than Encanto's depiction of it (although that's probably a matter of personal opinion and depends on which film you relate more to based on the specificity of your own life experiences). The concept portrayed is actually backed up by a lot of current trauma research/therapy techniques - the idea that someone who undergoes some kind of emotional trauma in childhood gets "stuck" psychologically at that age and in some ways never fully matures unless they are able to heal and move beyond the trauma. Mei Lin's mother was a damaged child piloting an adult body...attempting to parent another child. That was why she passed on the cycle of the same behavior that her mother displayed towards her despite ironically recognizing on some level how terrifying her own mother's behavior actually was. Until that "growing up" scene, she lacked the self awareness to realize that she was repeating the same behavior and damaging her own daughter the way her mother had damaged her. It was only after going through that process of healing that she could move on, truly grow past the damaged child who had gotten stuck, and become the mother Mei Lin needed her to be. I've worked on this kind of thing in therapy sessions before and the accuracy of how it was depicted in this movie is absolutely astounding. Tbh this movie is brilliant and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves
1000 thumbs up for your 100% accurate comment.

Half of it was accurate to my life at 13
But thank God my cramps only started in the morning before school. I was rewarded to stay home! 😁
U wrote a whole book
As someone who was 13 in 2002 this really resonated with me. While my culture doesn’t mirror Mei Mei’s, I can definitely relate to the “boy crazy” teen energy haha Plus, it was beautiful to watch. Great reaction!
Same honey same i was 12 in 2002 i also had drawings and similar relationship with my mom as mei did

One of my favorite parts is when Dad reaches into the Tim Hortons box for a Timbit, and Mom slaps his hand and says, "No sugar!", but a few minutes later, when Mei screams and Mom is distracted, Dad reaches into the box and sneaks a Timbit. 😆
Yea timbits are so good. I love the chocolate ones
It's making me miss the Timbits we had back then, too. Now, they aren't as good since they aren't baked from scratch on site like they used to be, they're all pre-baked and frozen crap. :/
This was SUCH an accurate depiction of the Asian immigrant kid experience, and especially the experience of a young teen trying to clumsily figure things out about herself and the world. The deptiction of healing intergenerational trauma was masterful.
What I love is that this movie so clearly shows that there was no one right way to be and no one choice that was empowering for everyone. The best choice for Mei to be true to herself was to keep the panda, but the best choice for Ming to be true to herself was to transform it, because they were both very different people with very different pandas. For Mei, her panda was a source of happiness and expression and fun and authenticity, but for Ming, her panda was a source of trauma and pain and made her LESS authentically herself and who she wanted to be. And I'm so glad the moral of the story wasn't that "they all just needed to learn to love and accept their pandas and let them out." Because while that was demonstrably the right choice for Mei, it was demonstrably the wrong choice for Ming. Even Sun Yee presented all of them with the choice, and behaved lovingly towards all of them, whatever they chose, without judgement or disappointment - she held the portal letting them transform their pandas if they wanted to, and flew with Mei when Mei chose to keep hers - she helped ALL of them in their choices. And what I love is that Ming DID learn to love her panda, when she was able to take the choice to transform her panda into something that couldn't hurt or traumatize her anymore, so she got to be herself and love on her panda in the tamogotchi, rather than suppress and ignore it. It doesn't make Ming fake or wrong or "not accepting/loving herself" or not being authentic, and I'm so happy that both choices were presented as equally valid and empowering when they truly were made as each individual's CHOICE, and not forced or expected. Ming's first panda transformation was suppression due to expectations, and after she healed from her trauma, she was able to transform her panda the second time into something she could acknowledge and love. Keeping the panda out wasn't the right choice for her to be able to love it, transforming it in a non-suppressive way was how she could be her authentic self and love her tamogotchi-panda, and that's okay.
It's so important to me that this movie shows that making the empowering choices that are true to yourself and allow you to be your true self may be opposite choices to the people around you, including the people you love. By the very end, both Mei and Ming respect each other's choices, are not judgemental or disappointed, and recognize that their way wasn't the only right one. The right choice for one person may be completely opposite from LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE and that is okay, and making the "expected" or "societally approved" choice doesn't mean you are any less authentically yourself than the person who is breaking the mold, if that choice is truly authentic to you.
This is a beautiful comment, I adore this insight and I 100% agree
Love this analysis.

@@Andyhandz there’s a reason why you don’t get laid + y’all call anything you don’t like "woke", go outside you mentally ill butthurt ass 💀💀💀 take this L
God, I hate the accuracy of loving a random cashier dude. 😂😂😂 I'm nearly 32 but damn.....hit me hahaha
You had to be part of the Tamaguchi fad to understand the significance. Keeping a Tamachi alive was a _HELL_ of a lot of work. It was worse than babysitting someone's kid. The fact that Miriam kept Mei's Tamaguchi alive meant that Miriam was really, _really_ Mei's friend and still cared very much about her.
The new Bi queen - Priya. she swoons over Devon, the love of her teenage life is clearly Jesse from 4Town, but she had some serious chemistry with the pink-haired Goth girl (there was going to be a kiss but Disney said no, Pixar had to fight just to keep the dance in).
the goth girl seemed kinda older...
@@teleportingpotatoe Considering all the kids at that party go to the same school and are of the same age group, pretty sure it's fine. Don't see what's the issue there.
Man I wish I had my bi awakening at 13/14, would've saved a lot of confusion early in. x3x
It's a shame that Disney is still being shit about LGBT rep but not surprised given the Don't Say Gay bill. At the very least there's a tiny bit saved, but only a bit just so that they can cut it for overseas.... (But at least still enough for me to ship)
I was amazed to hear that Priya was bisexual like me tho, and considering she's my favorite of Mei's friends even moreso.
I feel like people arent seeing the real issue here. I know the way she acts out in a way isnt alright or okay. But that just shows how controlling her mom was and how she expected so much from her daughter since she was little. Pressure to succeed and be perfect just because your parents brought you into the world. Its generational truama.
I mean yeah, that's kind of the whole point? When your kid has proven to you time and time again that they can be trusted and that they are a good kid and you still dont let them have any freedom then they're going to act out and go behind your back. It doesnt make it okay but it makes it understandable, because they're kids and their prefrontal cortexes havent been fully developed yet, which is the decision making part of your brain lol
Exactly. Encanto was addressing the same theme, especially Isabella’s character.
I really liked this movie--it felt believable and was well-written. Even though I'm a guy, I could understand Mei's journey during the story. The red panda designs of Mei and her family are adorable.
also, one of the little things that I saw someone point out is the gag with the body odor--red pandas, apparently, have very strong scent glands irl. Kind of a neat little factoid that they slipped into the story, as it's both an allegory to people developing BO and a fact about red pandas.
Me too.
“There ain’t nothing wrong with her.”
You’re kindness is appreciated, but she’s a fucking panda Mello 😭
23:28 I starting crying right about here too 😢 😭 such a good movie with good messages for all ages, genders, and ethnicities 💕
sadly this movie wasn’t given the same kindness as encanto :(
Yeah in my opinion this was better than Encanto
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 same, even mei’s mom had a better redemption arc than abuela’s.
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 me too.
@@wyla yeah there was no reason for her to be evil in Encanto
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 Abuela was not evil. She was a traumatized woman who didn't cope with her issues. She isn't Maleficent. And she took accountability for it in the film. Evil people don't do that.
I love this movie as an older guy simply because I have had the opportunity to watch the kids I raised become parents themselves and I see SO much of the turmoil I had with the kids repeating with the babies. I know how lucky I am to have the kids I do and proud of the parents they've become. I know I was a party-pooper, a disciplinarian, and... Well... I was a sucker too, at least according to the adults they are now when they're reminiscing. This movie brings all that with it and carries it all so well that I got all misty-eyed.
Me during that final act:
We have a Kaiju up in this s**t!
This movie spoke to me because my family was very religious and I felt if I didn't follow them I'd be a bad person. I wish I could've stood up for myself like Mei did
I also was a 13 year old girl in 2002 and I just watched this with my preteen daughter. Afterward we talked about times I'd embarrassed her in front of her friends, and times my parents embarrassed me. My husband was going to watch it with us but he steered out of the room pretty early on.
Dude. You’re not alone in the friend department. I’m a junior in high school and I only have one true friend. Been that way for around seven years now. Kinda lonely sometimes but hey, I’m thankful for the people I’ve got
Trust me bro, it’s better like that. I’m a senior this year and freshman year I got really sick. I had a huge friend group, and every single person abandoned me but three of my friends. Looking back, the people that left me behind weren’t true friends, but the three that stayed nurtured me and brought me back to health. They are the realest friends I think I’ll ever have.
Jordan Fisher as always killin' it as the lead of 4-Town
Yes. Jordan never misses.
I absolutely adore this movie. Its got a good life lesson awesome anime style comedy and a great script. I saw this movie numerous times cause its so well made.
An absolute beautiful movie.
Notice in one frame it goes black and white when the mom transforms like a manga page.
The second the movie became "Let's use the panda to raise money for boy band tickets" this movie went from good to great.
This movie reminds me of those John Hughes films that were just meant to accurately portray the teenager's experience, & I very much enjoyed it. I loved how you kept saying parent sentences like "I'll put my foot up your..." The music was also made by (get this) Billie Eilish.
Me too.
I love this movie. Most people see this Mei's red panda as a way of tackling "puberty" but I see Mei's red panda more as trying to deal or live with a split personality disorder.
As someone who has a family history of Blind Rage Syndrome, suppressing it completely like Mei's mum can be a very bad and destructive thing, but I found years ago that letting it out in little bursts like Mei is for me at least healthy as I don't get amnesia or fatigued for days afterwards.
Love this reaction. I watched this with my bf and he too got emotional at the end but he wasn't crying. He called it man sweat 😆
Ppl saying she was to cringe for her age...have y'all met Justine beiber and twilight fans during their craze she's exactly how 13 year olds was. Boy obsessed and defying parents and thinking they was grown. Lol
Ummm i was 22 in my Twilight craze thank you very much😂
I really appreciate seeing you feeling your feelings. This movie hit me harder than I realized it could have. But it was a delight ❤️and a delight watching you react to it. You're so wise.
Regarding the "smelliness". Red pandas aren't bears like the Giant Panda - red pandas are in the superfamily Musteloidea. They're related to skunks, ferrets, and raccoons.
I definitely connected with having an “overbearing mom that demands perfection from their kid” aspect of the movie the most
I thought this movie SLAPPED. Reminded me a bit of Spiderverse in some areas (self actualization and 2D animated elements) and the score was done by Ludwig Goransson, who did Black Panther, Creed and Mandalorian so you know it was gonna be 🔥
Why do I get the feeling that if Abby ever had a caffeine and/or sugar overload she would literally burn some place to the ground
Fun fact: if you watch interviews with the voice actors, Pria’s voice actor seems to have Abby’s personality and vice versa.
(Abby is bilingual Korean, not "trying to do anime talk" or anything like that lol)
this movie's so freaking good AAAA
15:11 not you in the crowd 🤣💀
The reason why Pixar, and in more recent years Disney Animation, have been consistently good. Pixar has something they call The Brain Trust, where it's basically test screening for their employees while they're developing their films and give the employees an opportunity to give notes. For example, in the original Toy Story, Woody was full on a bully in early drafts. But because of the Brain Trust, they recognized this and made the change. They started this at Disney Animation as well after, I wanna say, Ed Catmull took over.
If you wanna read more, I highly suggest Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull. It's basically a full history of Pixar and how to be a good manager in one book.
I would totally keep the red panda if that were me. _"My Panda, my choice mom!"_
Just the music alone is so awesome and fits to perfectly with these scenes. Pandas Unite / Nobody Like U (Reprise) is such a good mash up, the two songs just blend so well together and makes it that much more powerful.
11:48
You were right! My mom mentioned the same thing.
She said,"I can stand a few feet away from you and your friends so I can watch y'all better! But I can't send you to concert by y'all selves!"
PIXAR has been the bomb since Toy Story, sure not everything they made was a hit, but you sure can remember it, like the Cars Trilogy or the Planes Spinoffs, i didnt find them BAD per se, just underwhelming and i can deal with underwhelming.
Editing reaction to this right now this movie was so good and GOT THEM BANGERS! 💪🏽
Watched the movie last night, and it was one of Pixar Disney's better modern movies
This is such a great representation of what it's like to be a young preteen girl going through puberty... especially one with an overbearing mother.
If MeiMei was bad, you should hear how nordic people speak to their parents. It's not always pretty. But I don't think parents should be more respected than the kids. We're all equal.
As soon as they started beatboxing I was sold
I freaking loved this movie. It needs more praise and recognition! I knew it was going to be an amazing movie when I watched AND IT WAS ONLY 3 MINUTES IN!
So yeah, go and watch it people! :)

My sobbing heart has entered the chat. This movie was so good. And the music had no right being that fire 🔥
"How do you fall in love with a freakin' drawing, man? It doesn't even have colors in it."
Clearly, you don't read any manga. 🤣
I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by this film.
You’re right, tho. Pixar can hardly do any wrong at this point. They get me right in the feels all the time, too. LoL
Me too.
All your reactions are always amazing and this one was no different. This is definitely one of Pixar's best movies. It's funny, sad and beautiful. 😀
Mei wasn't overreacting to the Daisy Mart incident. I that shit happened to me I'd be slitting my wrists for real.
"You're so hard on yourself" slices right through my heart because I am never happy with myself, hardly ever.
lolll he said Abby watches too much anime- She Korean hehe
The movie takes place in 2002
I went to my first concert alone with my friends when I was 13! Actually in the same city this movie is set in, and just a few years before LOL So pretty accurate there!
I love that the dad is the one who cooks for the family.
i needed to hear your words at 23:50 thank you ❤
I just watch this movie last night, and really liked it a lot. Totally caught me off guard
this movie had so much fun and so much heart. to hell with those bad reviews, i bet most of them come from a sad bunch of grown ass yt men too lmao 😂 thanks for this reaction!!
I thought the movie was really cute
Love your Hey Arnold! Shirt, that was one of my childhood shows haha. I relate to this movie quite a bit since my mother was overbearing much like Mei's. I wasn't allowed to go to parties, dances, forget having friends. I wasn't even allowed to use tampons when I started having periods at age 12. Needless to say I was very sheltered growing up and now at the age of 35 (36 in September gahhh!!) I feel I have missed out on so much, and I don't even feel my biological age. I still feel like a teen sometimes inside if that makes sense. I was obsessed with N'sync and BSB and 98 Degrees lol, all the boy bands...this movie reminded me so much of those days. I only ever got to attend one N'sync concert at the age of 13 but sadly it was up in the nosebleed sections. So it wasn't super enjoyable.
Man playing minecraft music while crying and giving life advice I'm crying both from laugher and from sadness
I had friends growing up but my parents didn’t let me out that much. All my childhood friends were fake, But in high school I found 2 of the greatest ppl. Also I’m besties with my cousins. I have everything I need. Growing up in a Asian household it is hard to be “free” and independent. Most Asian parents are very strict and close minded ppl. I understand why and I’m not mad about anything. They shaped me into a beautiful and strong women.
here is an easter egg I found for ya! the young boy with the emo black hair Mei was crushing on had a "Escapula" shirt. "Escapula" is the same metal band shown in the movie coco, during the music contest!
Jesus christ she was probably into Elvis and her mom is like "No Devils Music."
Ming isn't that old. She likely was a teenager during the mid-1980s.
@@kivimik "No, stop looking at the devil hiphop king see look he the devil hes raising to dead to dance no no no nooo"
I absolutely love the moment where they first see mei as a panda and shes all sad and they're just like "nbd" and cheer her up with song. her whole relationship with her friends is so pure.
Also Abby is my absolute favorite.
Solid man! My little sis grew up in that period ... no pun intended. She and her kids loved this flick!
abby is korean that's why she was speaking korean LOL
You made me cry, too. It's a masterpiece like usual. Good Job Pixar.
In the 90s (when the movie takes place) boy bands were a thing, flip phones were a thing, and tamagotchis were a thing. In this day of helicopter parents, we forget that was a thing.
Mei running through the street after accepting the panda is reminiscent of the What's Up Danger sequence from Into The Spider-verse.
#MellVerse I'm sorry but realistically,if this would've happen to me change into something like red panda,my parents better tell something beforehand. Otherwise,I ain't going back school and they couldn't make me cause someone's getting tore up if that would've happen..
7:14 NANI!? im so glad someone else noticed that chick's stank face! i was starting to think i imagined it.
Ikr. I hate how people do that. I would want to send them to oblivion!!
4:16 the amount of manga characters i was falling in love with in middle school was insane. May not be colored but some of those manga guys are fire looking.
" the farther you go, the prouder I'll be". Oh man the water works. It's what is millennials wanted to hear from our folks
24:10 This hits, thanks. I was raised Catholic but felt so lost in college. I became a Christian in May 2022 and my family doesnt approve. I know they love me but it hurts when they talk bad about my church family and what they are about.
Man, it cracks me up when guys watch this movie. Every woman I know who grew up in the '90s or later absolutely gets the NEED to go to that boy band concert (saw N'Sync four times, hi). I know we talk about boys and puberty, but man, there is nothing as intense as the fantasy crush of a teenage girl. Nothing.
I LOVE that they kept it true to being in Canada and even put a little daisy mart🥹
This is the film I wished I had when I grew up. In a way, I feel so connected to Mei Lin. I was a very studious person (not academically prodigy smart, but enough to please my parents and my teachers) in my teens and very introverted. My parents are great people, they are kind and loving but I always felt this barrier that I could never open up emotionally to my parents. This is because I knew how much they worked so hard and sacrificed to get my brother and I a better life and better education. So I stayed silent and bottled my feelings to protect theirs because in my mind, they are suffering more than me…if that makes sense. But now I’m feeling the repercussions in my adulthood. I tend to mask my feelings and had to build my emotional resilience as a young adult. I had to rewire my thinking to express myself and that it’s okay to feel vulnerable. I’m still not at the stage to feel comfortable enough to open up to my parents but I’m still grateful that they’ll always love me.
I’m recently a new subscriber of your channel and I love how attentive you are to, not only the plot, but the visual details as well.
I cringed so hard at this movie because it reminded me of how I was when I was in middle school (I’m currently in my mid-20s). However, I also enjoyed it because of that reason as well as the visuals. And yes, this movie takes place within the early 2000s.
4:56 the reactor was too stunned to speak. pretty sure that was everyone's reaction first watching this lmao, it sure was mine.
You could definitely see the anime influences.
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and wow I loved it. You seem so wholesome and real. I loved it.
The dad is the chinese gordan ramese
The part with Meilin (who is 13 by the way which makes this situation more shockingly wild) was taunting her mom by twerking at her real made my jaw drop in shock when I first saw that scene! Disney and Pixar are wildin'!
EASTER EGGS!
(From what I've seen so far at least)
1) 7:32 The boy's shirt has the logo of one of the bands from Coco. You can see it on the drums a scene from when they're in the Land of The Dead.
2) 19:14 Pizza planet delivery car on the right. You can see this car in almost every Pixar film.
i don't think ive ever seen such a relatable movie, honestly. disney and pixar are really going the right direction here.
21:19 I laughed so hard when, Mei twerking her mom. 🤪
Yours is the only reaction video that I've seen which had a reaction to the post-credits scene. ☺️
The bit where her mom shows the art to the public is the teenage equivalent of Murphy getting gunned down at the start of Robocop. Justifies the rest of the film.
COMMENT 262!! I wouldn't really be able to take the panda away... I have it once a month, lmaooo
Heavy on the generational trauma
"how you fall in love with a freaking drawing man?"
Don't attack me mellow
I think this movie talks about the repressed anger that Chinese parents have due to childhood trauma and how they take it out on their children. Also, how the younger generations of children from immigrant parents try to remain true to themselves and rebel against some dark points of their tradition but embrace the good ones.
Dude the beanie cap, the CD Walkman, the flip phones, that early 2000’s pop music. Dude that’s bringing me back to elementary and middle school.
Yeah this movie is hysterical, heartbreaking and heartwarming. One of Pixar’s finest in recent times
You should definitely watch the first Cars movie, it's iconic
