Turning Red

March 11, 2022 (USA)

Director: Domee Shi

Genre: Comedy, Animation, Adventure

Where to watch: Disney plus

DURATION: 1 hour 40 minutes.

Pixar's first feature film directed entirely by a woman (Domee Shi), is an allegory towards the transition of adolescence and a fun adventure that involves friendship, mother-daughter relationship and the search for identity from a female perspective.

With notable references to 2000s culture, "Turning Red" serves as a tribute to Chinese traditions and Canadian society. An emotional and fun experience that addresses issuaes such as puberty (menstruation), appearances, the true nature of people, etc. In such a friendly and perfectly balanced way, that it makes it one of the smartest children's films of recent years. (Filled with nods to other Pixar movies)

"Pixar doesn't disappoint, it reinvents itself and builds a completely satisfying story."
