Fans praise ‘Turning Red’ for telling funny, important coming-of-age tale

Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red dropped on Disney Plus today and fans are loving the new coming-of-age story with a twist. We all know how hard it is to go through those early teen years (all of them, in fact), but how much harder would that be if every time you got emotional, you turned into a giant red panda?

That’s what our protagonist Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang) is dealing with in this funny, family-oriented film, as she traverses new feelings and emotions, ones that seem to pull her away from her mother’s smothering-love parenting style. Through the vehicle of the red panda, what Disney, Pixar, and director Domee Shi are actually exploring is a young girl dealing with hitting puberty and her changing body and hormones whilst growing up in an Asian-Canadian household.
