Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red debuts on all major digital platforms April 26 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 3, just in time for Mother’s Day. Pixar fans can transport back to the early aughts and experience all the warm and fuzzy red panda Mei-hem with never-before-seen bonus material including an alternate ending, seven deleted scenes, three featurettes and audio commentary with Director Domee Shi. Turning Red is also streaming on Disney+.
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!
Turning Red is a coming-of-age, mother-daughter story with the oh, so familiar complications of friendships, junior high and overcoming family trauma. There are an abundance of contemporary societal parallels that are SO timely for students today, making this film a great conversation starter if you happen to have or know a child starting down that path to creative or discovering their own individuality. While largely written for the female audience, the message of family, the metaphor for change and the hot topics of general trauma and identity will not be overlooked.
