Turning Red Early Reviews Call It One of Pixar's Best Movies
Reviews for Turning Red are officially in, and it sounds like critics had their hearts melted by the new Pixar film. After winning an Oscar for Bao, director Domee Shi is making her feature film debut. Exploring the awkward phase of early adolescence, Turning Red follows Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang), a 13-year-old girl who turns into a giant, red panda when she gets overly excited. While dealing with the challenges of her overbearing mother, Ming (Sandra Oh), and their ancestral power to become pandas, Mei Lee is also confronted by the chaos of growing up in the 21st century. Turning Red marks the first Pixar film directed by a woman of color, as Shi makes history and earns high praise for her feature.
