Turning Red

[ThaOGDreamWeaver]

Things I'd like to say about this movie:

• See it.
• There's an awful lot of fun stuff we've not seen in Pixar before, especially all the lifts in tone and style from anime.
• Oddly for a Pixar movie, while there are many, many feels, absolutely nobody dies in it...
• ...but you might suddenly die of embarrassment from recognising yourself in the [mumbles year range under breath]'s as the absolute alien dorkoid creature you were/still are...
• ...maybe wish you'd had friends as good and sorted as Mei's...
• ...and accept that no matter what age you are, accepting yourself and your imperfections is and always will be a work in progress, but it gets SO MUCH BETTER - and succeeding so much easier when you do.

 

Oh, and don't go on the Rotten Tomatoes comment section, because it's a sausagefest trash fire - some kind of unholy hot dog barbecue, generally repeating rote anti-woke points that show they haven't seen the movie. It's not exactly PC, and if there are any parents reading this, it is a PG Pixar for a reason. Very, very much PG, there are things you might have to / not want to explain to younger viewers, and nudging up against the limits of what you can do or say in that bracket, let alone Disney. And all the better for it.

 

Instead, read the assorted Twitter tags and the wonderful fan art.

We'll have to see it.  Ever since Barbie and the Island Princess my daughter loves red pandas.  And Pixar movies are often as good as the Barbie movies, so it's worth a watch.
