This transformation is a family curse and it can be contained by performing a special ritual on one specific night, but that night coincides with the concert of Mei’s favorite boy band, and to further complicate everything, Mei also has to deal with her overbearing mother, Ming (Sandra Oh).
Set in Toronto, Canada, and taking the audience back to 2002, Turning Red follows Meilin 'Mei' Lee (Rosalie Chiang), a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian student who one day discovers that, whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she turns into a giant red panda, but she can turn back if she becomes calm. 2022 will be one of those lucky years where there are two Pixar movies, and the first one is Turning Red, directed by Domee Shi. Pixar continues to dominate the world of animation and treats its audience to at least one movie per year. An important element in Turning Red was the friendship between Mei and Miriam, Abby, and Priya, and a theory suggests there was something more between two of them as Miriam might have a crush on Mei.
