Description
Turning Red, a 2022 computer-animated fantasy comedy produced by Pixar and distributed by Disney, follows Meilin "Mei" Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian in 2002 Toronto grappling with a family curse that transforms her into a giant red panda during emotional outbursts. Directed by Domee Shi in her feature debut, co-written with Julia Cho, and produced by Lindsey Collins, the film stars Rosalie Chiang as Mei, supported by Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, and James Hong. Drawing from Shi’s personal experiences, it became Pixar’s first project solely helmed by a woman and their second to center an Asian protagonist after *Up* (2009). Following premieres in London (February 21) and Toronto (March 8), the film debuted globally on Disney+ on March 11, 2022, with limited theatrical releases in markets without the streaming platform. Grossing $17.1 million worldwide and lauded by critics, *Turning Red* blends magical humor with poignant themes of adolescence and cultural identity.
