A splendid surprise on Disney Plus (not sure why this didn't see a theatrical release), "Turning Red" is a colorful, vibrant coming-of-age story, accessible to all ages but teens especially (my twelve-year-old in particular, she loves this movie). It uses the charm and wackiness of anime as a metaphor for puberty - who among us can't relate? - and I appreciate this subject matter in a Pixar movie. If only we could all Hulk out into a big giant fluffy panda at the first sign of strong emotion.
Well worth a watch; it feels personal, has a great sense of humor and it made me feel like a kid again, with all of the world-ending drama that entails.
