I recently saw Turning Red and loved it for a number of reasons, some more biased than others. It sounds like a simple enough story—thirteen-year-old Mei Lee has her life seemingly figured out as she follows the expectations set out to her by her mother while secretly obsessing over a boyband and crushes with her group of friends. That is, until Mei learns that the women in her family can turn into giant red pandas when they get too excited, a fact that starts to take a toll on her relationship with her mother.
