Turning Red

Turning Red is an animated Pixar movie. This story is of a thirteen- year- old girl Mei who is torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and embracing changes of adolescenece. Telling the story of an extraordinary girl who transforms into a giant red panda when she gets angry or over excited, this movie is incredibly crafted with great comedy and amazing heartwarming moments between friends and family. Every single character has their own unique background and their own different personalities that make the movie even more enjoyable. Reflecting the confusion, nervous moments in our youth, this movie is a great example of finding oneself. Mei depicts every teenage girl who wants to be independent, and trying to do her best in every way which also focuses on the conflicts between daughter/mother. I love the overall theme and message of this movie that tells you to enjoy your life the way you want and don’t let anyone mess with your true personality. Enjoy and love the way you are, but to make sure not to upset parents. Do your best to be close with your family and learn to fully accept yourself as you want to be. I loved every moment of this movie, making it is a must watch it if you like animated movies.
