Follow Mei on her quest to find herself, comprehend her feelings, and find freedom from her demanding but loving mother. This family-friendly picture has themes of normal teen troubles wrapped in a not-so-common supernatural surprise (and a lot of fluffy red fur).

What Is Turning Red’s Plot?
Meilin Lee is a math-loving, self-assured 13-year-old. Mei is a sophisticated, educated young lady who plays the flute. This incredibly cool middle schooler and her three best friends enjoy 4*Town, secret handshakes, and environmental protests. Above all, the gals stick together through thick and thin, even when things become hairy.
As she would soon discover, “perfect little Mei-Mei” is much more. One fateful night, Mei transforms into a gigantic red panda (and no, it’s not her first episode of acne). While Mei is surprised by her new look, her parents were prepared. Mei discovers her family’s unique red panda connection. Transforming into one runs in their family, and she must manage her emotions to stop it. That shouldn’t be an issue. Thirteen-year-olds are adept at controlling their emotions, especially with school stress and a life-changing concert! Mei’s body changes more than other 13-year-olds. Talk about surprise new hair finds.
Mei, although attempting to keep her cool, discovers that she likes her new self and instead of fighting the changes, embraces them, learning about her emotions and the power of feeling them. The film’s underlying lesson is that you can channel your emotions into superpowers and do amazing things instead of repressing them.
When And Where Does Redness Occur?
On the basis of Mei’s school ID and the Y2K sticker on her flute case, Turning Red is set in Toronto in 2002-03. Along with the 2000s clothes, Tamagotchis, and boy band frenzy, fans are hoping for spectacular throwback lingo and an early 2000s soundtrack. So far, the trailers have featured songs by *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.

Where Can I Watch Turning Red?
After nearly two years of streaming alone, Disney announced a theatrical release for Turning Red. Sadly, the studio altered course in early January, indicating that Turning Red will only be accessible for home viewing on Disney+, where it is expected to be part of their private Premier Access service, which costs an additional $29.99 per month. While the theatres may not be popping, our microwaves will, as fans eagerly await the release of this incredibly rad film and a chance to relax at home.
