'Turning Red' confronts the messiness of adolescence with refreshing honesty (unknown)

In Pixar's new animated film, a Chinese Canadian girl awakens one morning to find that she's turned into an enormous panda. Turning Red provides a lot to ...

All of which is to say that Turning Red gives you a lot of ideas to grapple with. I also balked at moments that seemed to exaggerate for comic effect, especially when it came to Mei's mother, who's clearly been conceived along the lines of the controversial "tiger mom" stereotype. As it turns out, the red-panda effect is the result of some very ancient Chinese magic that's been passed down to Mei through the women in her family. And then one morning, in a twist that riffs on Kafka's The Metamorphosis and countless werewolf movies, she discovers that she's turned into an enormous red panda, with bright red-orange fur and a long, bushy tail. Director Shi, who wrote the script with Julia Cho, confronts the messiness of adolescence with an honesty that's refreshing in the world of studio animation. With her first feature, Turning Red, Shi leans further into the complexities of Asian parent-child relationships — and this time, she's come up with an even wilder conceit.

"But like anything, there's a small sliver that is kind of criticising or maybe a little intrusive, and of course as human beings it's hard not to sort of catch on to that. "I try and do that with my music - I always really try and put a message in there that people may not have heard in a pop song before or just something that makes people feel something," she said. You can listen to our interviews and hear our reviews in this week's Backstage podcast. And it wasn't until I started therapy where I actually started realising that being in the middle is a really good place to be.

'Turning Red' is a turning point for Asians in film. Why is it seen as unrelatable? (unknown)

"The story of all of these friends and the family is so universal... There's emotions in 'Turning Red' that are absolutely part of a human story," she said. "It's not like I could relate to Ratatouille... I didn't even know Ratatouille was a dish," she said. That's what it kind of felt like," Wang Yuen said. Which is fine — but also, a tad limiting in its scope," O'Connell wrote. The film, which premiered Friday on Disney+, been widely hailed as a refreshing, creative look at tweendom and the awkwardness of growing up.

“Turning Red” introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang, “Clique Wars”), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. The El Capitan is located at 6838 Hollywood Blvd. “Turning Red,” which is rated PG, runs through March 17. This marks the first time that a Pixar feature has had an Asian protagonist and centered mainly on Asian characters. The voice cast also includes Ava Morse (“Ron’s Gone Wrong”), Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (“Never Have I Ever”), Hyein Park, Orion Lee (“First Cow”), Wai Ching Ho (“Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens”), and veteran actor James Hong (“Blade Runner,” “Big Trouble in Little China”). And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution announced that Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” would premiere exclusively in homes worldwide on Disney+ on March 11, along with a simultaneous limited run at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

A teenager partners with a future version of himself to apparently save the world from time travel. Many of us have put dozens of hours into the game and have no clue if we’re even close to the ending. We prefer a more leisurely approach, slaying beasts one by one with our big, dumb jellyfish and pausing the game for the occasional snack break. To start, we’ve collected the most pertinent history of Riddler and Batman’s conflict. Jenna Stoeber walks through the history of walks and walking cycles in video games, and how they got to where they are today. And one of the most important but underappreciated aspects of games is the walk cycle. Here’s a fun, concise explainer of everything you need to know — and how to spot the tech marketing nonsense. A no-bullshit guide to the metaverse So game developers have found a ton of cool ways to implement walks in the games we play — making them both accurate, and flavorful. Radulovic says that Turning Red ”unabashedly and jovially embraces its own identity in such a tender way that it aches” and calls the film one of Pixar’s best. Last month, we spoke with the creators of Turning Red about the film’s open portrayal of puberty and periods. Polygon’s Patch Notes is a weekly newsletter that tells you about the best stuff to watch, play, and read.

Disney have shared the complete soundtrack to their new film 'Turning Red' which features three songs written by Billie Eilish and Finneas.

We met with them and pitched this crazy idea of a boyband, asking if they’d be interested in writing and producing the songs. Finneas also provided vocals on the tracks and voiced a member of the group, Jesse. It stars Sandra Oh, Orion Lee and newcomer Rosalie Chiang, and is directed by Domee Shi (who previously helmed the Pixar short Bao).

REVIEW: 'Art of' edition offers sneak peek into 'Turning Red' notebook (STLtoday.com)

Positioned in the middle of the lavishly illustrated volume, it shows what the star of Disney Pixar's “Turning Red” kept under her bed. Pages of mathematical equations, anatomy studies and versions of the 13-year-old girl's crush provide the extra insight ...

In “The Art of” you get a closer look at the five teens in the group. The shower curtain, we learn, is a reflection of the tight, claustrophobic, yet disjointed nature of a mother/daughter relationship. The book doesn’t detail each of them, but you do get to see how they transformed. Positioned in the middle of the lavishly illustrated volume, it shows what the star of Disney Pixar’s “Turning Red” kept under her bed. Loosely based on filmmaker Domee Shi’s adolescence, “Turning Red” shows what happens when she puts up barriers to family and friends and – surprisingly – turns into a giant red panda. Shi uses 2002 as her base – which gives her an opportunity to touch on toys and fashions from the era.
