Puberty may be something that pretty much everyone has to endure, but at the time it feels like a uniquely mortifying and personal experience.” The Guardian’s reviewer called it, “a fizzing, squealing adolescent explosion of a movie that nails a fundamental truth about growing up. Still, plenty of reviewers loved “Turning Red,” claiming it was quirky and weird yet captured an essential truth about coming of age. All of this is portrayed as cool and ok because the main character’s mom is portrayed as overbearing, way too protective, and ‘psycho.’ … the 13 year old main character talks about how honoring your parents is great, but that sometimes honoring them ‘too much’ means you aren’t honoring yourself.” However, even considering the target demographic, some parents and reviewers are insisting this project goes a few steps too far and what’s worse, that it lacks the charm inherent to so many other Disney/Pixar projects.Īccording to one reviewer on Common Sense Media, “The movie contains repeated storylines and scenes of the kids lying to their parents and sneaking out of the house. It’s true that the movie is rated PG and is intended for slightly older audiences compared to other Pixar films, especially since it deals with the subject matter of puberty specifically. In the movie, it's explained that the red panda has a place in Chinese myth and legend. 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!” Turning Red depicts a Canadian family doing their best to keep their Chinese heritage alive in the heart of Toronto, running a shrine devoted to their ancestors and their spiritual protectors the red panda. The Rotten Tomatoes synopsis says, “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. The film is touted as a “coming-of-age sensation where the supernatural and the mundane happily walk hand in hand,” at least according to one critic. They say the children in the movie are overtly disobedient and rude, plus there are sexual themes including the main character twerking as a panda in front of her mother while taunting her, plus multiple instances of the girl rebelling against her “overbearing” Chinese-Canadian mother to the point of being disrespectful. “Turning Red” is the newest movie from Disney/Pixar that has some parents turning red … with anger. ![]()
