Pixar’s TurningRed is a dorky and groundbreaking animated masterpiece. Our review:
✖ If there's one thing the animated movies of Pixar has become known for, it's using adorable animation and incredibly specific plots to touch the hearts of audiences of all ages.
From the very first frame, Turning Red is filled with a brilliant mix of the niche and the ubiquitous — especially with regards to its time period and setting, which serve as an unabashedly love letter to the '00s without relying on the easiest or most obvious points of reference.
What the bedrock of '00s nostalgia in Turning Red allows for, in a way that feels downright revolutionary for a mainstream animated film, is a fleshed-out exploration of the experience of being a tween girl. The metaphor at the heart of the film — Mei's"poofing" into her red panda form — might be one of Pixar's most clever yet, as it packages the uncomfortable and unexpected elements of puberty into something heartfelt, but incredibly honest.
