Yes, Turning Red embraces the awkwardness of a teenage girl experiencing the onset of puberty, something unexpected in a Pixar feature (though welcome, for its seemingly honest portrayal). Meilin’s mother, for example, stands outside her daughter’s high school class in one sequence and screams because she believes her daughter has forgotten to bring pads with her. No doubt, female audiences watching will cringe and chuckle along.
Turning Red, with a literal translation, can stand for the color one changes into once embarrassed.
I think it's a triple entendre here, with red also symbolizing menstruation.
havent seen it but from what I read thats the main premise of the movie
a girl hits puberty and turns into a giant panda which gives her super powers letting her do things that her previous self couldn't do
which sounds like a "fun goofy concept" until you actually think about it and realize that the panda really represents her sexual attractiveness
and (again I haven't watched it, this is only what I read) at some point the girl makes money by selling pictures of the panda on the internet, her mom tries to stop her and the girl responds "my panda my choice" which is a gag line for brainwashed liberals. But again when you realize the subtext of cheering on a newly teen girl allowing herself to be exploited for "independence" is becomes disgusting.
Dude exactly!!! I saw it and I’m like “fine, the panda thing is a metaphor for her period…. But what. The. Fuck. Is her using the panda to make everyone like her, pay her, and invite her to parties a metaphor for!?!?”

Surely this isn't in a Pixar movie, right? At least it's not portrayed as a good thing? It's not like Pixar hasn't done propaganda before (WALL-E was a great movie, but it didn't even try to hide it's anti-corporate, environmentalist message), but if they're essentially portraying a 13 year old on OnlyFans as being a good thing then their office needs some redecorating.
Seriously? I saw the trailer mention the "dark side" of the transformation; I thought it was simply going to deal with how to deal with the "royal bitchiness" aspect of menstruation ...
And they wonder why critics aren’t taken seriously. Time and time again we see that they all have the same upload. I remember a critic was vilified for not liking black Panther. Also remember the nauseating Last Jedi reviews? Some critics acted like that was the first movie to have themes about failure and of course praising the subversion of expectations
The replies to his groveling, dick-sucking apology really make me wonder if woke Twitter consists of highly verbal yet profoundly mentally retarded people. Like, legitimately sub-60 IQ.
They're all like "hurr durr are you saying that the only way you can like Up is if you tie balloons to your house", "only a living toy could like toy story". It's missing the point so badly that you'd have to have something severely wrong with your brain. The point of Up is letting go of the past and embracing the new. The point of Toy Story is...actually pretty much the same thing. Lots of that going on in Pixar movies I guess. Regardless, they're universal points that absolutely anyone can appreciate.
What's the point of Turning Red? "Being a Chinese teenage girl in western society is hard sometimes"? That is specific to maybe a half of a percent of the population in western societies. In terms of planet earth, try a fiftieth of a percent. If you're generous and include parents of Chinese teenage girls, you might be able to eke it out to one percent in target markets.
Ive always noticed America media (specifically the big animation companies) does that.
The rebellious child is always right, and the cautious parents are depicted as being stifling and backwards.
This is in direct contrast with the fairy tales of old, where the people who didnt exercise due caution often ended up being eaten by something or worse.
Not Asian teenage girls, a very specific microdemo of spoiled rottennarcissistic Chinese-Canadian now middle aged faildaughters from the greater Toronto area that got C's instead of A's back in 2006 and had to settle for Sheridan instead of Ryerson or York. Probably has strong hypocritical opinions about yellow fever while in a loveless open relationship with a caucasian soi ball. Broken branch. Am not allow.

This movie was such an obvious trap to get white people cancelled I feel sorry for any movie critic dumb enough to review it.
Also the cuck who wrote it apologized so no sympathy for him

It's basically an ad for OnlyThots, assuming that plot line is accurate and complete.

Sounds like Ranma slashfic.
Bad Ranma slashfic.

Jesus that's fucking vile lmao

Communism, anger, embarrassment, menstrual blood, the Rothschilds, and so on and so forth.

The reviewer here was objectively right.
mfw I have to to feign interest in this CalArts trash to keep myself employed
Seems Carrie is a better movie for a girl and her period.
Ignoring the story nonsense is this the first appearance of CalArts style for Disney? Looks like a fucking 3d Steven Universe.
yeah the signature solid teeth arch and round faces is what I first noticed
come for the terrible talentless art, stay for the subversive family-destroying message!
There was an earlier film with this issue that I think may have had a better plot.
My sister has a fucking faggot flag and she was repulsed by this movie. The amount of retardation in there is unprecedented.
Around the end of the film the girl taunts her mother by twerking.
Can't wait for the remake. Turning Black.
Always starts with romanticizing childhood rebellion and casting parents as the villains.

Theres an agenda at work there.
I had similar feelings about Encanto.
They've realized that they have to make bespoke propaganda for every demographic now.

I loved Inside Out when I first saw it but it was made before 2016/Year Zero when the world went mad.
2016 ain't Year Zero, m8.
