About Turning Red
In Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red, confident, dorky 13-year-old Mei must balance being
a dutiful daughter with the chaos of adolescence. Her slightly overbearing mom is never
far from her daughter. And, as if changes to Mei’s interests, relationships and body
aren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited, she “poofs” into a giant red panda!
