In "Turning Red", Mei Lee is a confident, dorky thirteen-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren't enough, whenever she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS), she "poofs" into a giant red panda!

The movie's message might make some parents uncomfortable, but Turning Red has all the emotion and visual appeal that Pixar fans expect.

Austin Chronicle

Turning Red’s funny, sweet, and empathetic portrait of cultural identity, gentle teen rebellion, and tetchy mother-daughter relations gets an extra boost from fake boy band 4*Town.

This is a movie for anyone who has experienced the turmoil Mei experiences, which is to say just about everyone.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I think it chickens out a little bit from telling [a story about puberty] to tell a more universal one... All of that is kind of fun, but slight.

Younger viewers will love the hi-jinks and colorful animation. Teens will identify themselves in its diverse and instantly lovable cast. Adults will marvel at the eloquence of its script. In short, Turning Red is an instant classic.

Domee Shi’s direction is so unique and fun, but it can also overpower a lot of the emotions and or sentiment.

Such a great film!

A family who learns through growing pains while keeping it real! I love the struggles between the mother and daughter highlighted. Really captures middle school and all of its awkwardness

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Once again Pixar hits it out of the park. It's not without flaws but even they were minimal. You will not regret the hour and forty minutes you take to watch another Pixar classic film.

The storytelling is really well done and detailed generational pressure and trauma in an Asian household. Cringey elements were relatable and flashbacked to those adolescent middle school days.
