This movie was too accurate to the point my Asian mom saw nothing wrong with the mom

I wanted to DIE so many times when Mei's mom embarrassed her over the smallest of things

Kind of interesting, a therapist on KZfaq said that Mei's mother having issues with her own mother, people often say they'll do better than their parents implying they'll do things differently, but subconsciously, they fail to realize they end up acting exactly like their parents. It reminds me of what Tarrlok said to Avatar Korra; "I thought I was better than my father, but his ghost still shaped me. I became a soldier of revenge, just like he wanted me to be. And so did my brother."

They really had a scene of the dad cooking JUST to flex how far animation has come you gotta love it lol. And the fact that Pixar out here playing BOOTYLICIOUS ooh love IT.

Idk why but movies choose to gloss over periods. It's refreshing for Pads to be shown in the movie so obviously. Pads aren't embarrassing!

2:47 The reason the food looks SO FRIGGIN' GOOD in this movie is because the director, Domee Shi, also directed Pixar's short film "Bao" about the little dumpling boy. They did a TON of research and work to make the food look as realistic as they could, without making it look gross... which is really hard to do with ground meat! And yet, they did it! If you haven't seen "Bao," I highly recommend it simply for its animation!

Jordan’s high note hits my soul that whole son is awesome

Relatability varies from person to person, but anyone who says this movie cant be relatable to certain people is flat out wrong.

it's true that the mom was so overbearing and generational trauma doesn't excuse it but as kids we internalize things so differently. at least mei have friends that show her that her mom can be too much sometimes. and this is why we should do a lot of healing first before bringing children into the world because trauma can be a very subconscious thing and we pass it on to our children without realizing it

3:05 The music by 4*Town in the movie is catchy because it was written by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell, who also voiced one of the 4*Town members (Jesse, the blond one with the pretty eyelashes who fosters injured doves.)

this animation was so perfect. i loved how chilled Priya was and i lived for Abby’s chaotic energy

I get that the bully is jealous of Mei and that's why hes such a douche, but he had that °confrontation ° coming. Can't be picking fights and can't °handle the consequences. Plus his self Esteem is obviously low and hes taking that out on Mei the 'perfect' girl°. Especially with how no one would've wanted to come if Mei wasn't there. I get that kids would eventually bond over something so small as a boy band, but it doesn't erase everything he did ° and it may never if he doesn't change. If he truly changed then it wouldn't matter much at all anymore. I think that could've been a better point for them to make for kids° °The violence and intimidation was a no go, we don't love that, but the standing up for your family and calling out your bully in the moment, we love.° Edit: don't take this comment too seriously. It's not full of malice against a child FYI in case some people actually think that. Its not that serious. Edit 2: edited again to make my point a bit more clear. I hope it comes across better what I was trying to say.

Funny how you brought up Mindless Behavior. I was watching this with my family and I was like "I was never really a boy band girl" and my older sister remembered that she loved Mindless Behavior back then lol. I completely forgot about them

1) Sure, the bible tells children to honor their parents. But a lot of people also leave out that parents shouldn't drive their children to anger and bitterness. So... 2) Honestly, I think labels help in some ways. Like, yeah, sometimes labels keep you in a box, but not all labels keep you in a box. 3) Girl, the nightmare sequence kinda freaked me out the first time I saw it. After that I shrugged it off because I've literally had worse nightmares. 4) Literally had an argument with an acquaintance about why the mom was how she was. Not all parents recognize that they were abused/manipulates by their own parents, and even if they do they don't always catch themselves doing the same things to their children. It's the whole point of generational trauma that I think sometimes gets glossed over by the older generations. I dealt with it myself, and I think if I were to sit with my mom like I did during "Encanto", my mom probably wouldn't catch on the same way in "Turning Red".

11:22 and then you realize in hindsight she was just looking for any excuse to get out of the house so she wouldn't be there when the rest of the family showed up.

I absolutely adored this movie, it's so messed up that people are hating on it, I get it's not for everyone, but it really is relatable for some people

Jordan Fisher absolutely killed it, didn't know he could SANG

I'm an old black guy about to turn 70, but I think this movie is great fun. Something I want to argue about, though, is that the Red Panda isn't a girl getting her period. Mei doesn't even get her period in the movie...that was just to show us how over-the-top her mother was. It's not really about puberty, either, at least not completely. Notice that all the old women, including the grandmother, still had their pandas, so that rules out both periods and puberty. Remember too that the Red Panda was a gift so that they could protect themselves while their men were away. In China, the color red represents good luck, power, happiness, and strength. None of that is menstruation. The Red Panda represents a woman's natural strength and assertiveness, which women in general and Asian women in particular are taught to repress. Maybe it was the custom in old China for a woman to keep her strength and assertiveness repressed, but in Canada in 2002, Mei's assertiveness is acceptable and even celebrated. And kudos to Jin, Mei's father, who was glad to marry Ming even knowing about her Red Panda.

Btw, yes it actually is in part about getting her period. The jokes weren't coincidental.. Gross red monster. The way she's walking stiffly when she's in her bedroom? I can confirm that's how we walk when we're trying not to move too much to prevent...an "accident". "Prevent any accidents." Curling up in the fetal position because it hurts. You can even make a case for the extreme emotions thing, cause a lot of us can attest that extreme emotions tend to make it...worse, let's say. And the friends neutralizing the panda? A way to show that having friends around to help you through it when you have an "accident" can make it less embarrassing.

I loved this movie! I’m so sad that people are hating on it cause of the period stuff. I’ll admit it might be a bit much for you get audiences but it’s rated 9+ anyways on Disney plus so what’s the big deal?

I absolutely loved Abby’s energy lol 😂❤️

I would KILL to have friends like Miriam, Priya, and Abby. My life would probably be 10x better

I loved the concept of the obsession of boy bands. When I was young, I'd always see people get hyped about boy bands back then since the movie is set in 2002.

The panda chant with the boyband is honestly a banger 🤭

Lakia: Grandma looking like she's giving GILF Me, pausing the video: HUH 😭

I can understand why meimei mother doesn't want her to go to a 4 town concert on her own I mean concerts its not safe but she could've gone with her supervision.

I totally drew cringe boyfriend pics in middleschool and highschool though. I was dying laughing when I saw that.

I absolutely loved this movie and would definitely give it like a 10 out of 10 rating hope they make a sequel.💖❤️✌️👌😁👍.

This made me gry. Such emotional, funny and realistic movie.

The Embrace the Panda documentary bts video that Disney+ has gives soooo much added context and perspective to this movie. It goes into how everything was made and the individuals who helped create it. It was really good. It’s about 45 minutes, you should check it out. The creator also created Bao, a short film for Pixar which was also beautiful.

18:00 the voice belongs to Jordan Fisher and Billie and her brother wrote all the songs in this movie

I loved this movie sooo soo much it’s insane! Definitely a top 5 Pixar movie 🥹💅

I've never heard GILF used in a sentence before, but I'm here for it.

Oh my gosh I love mindless behavior my cousin got me a signed poster of them when I was 12 and I cried so i feel her😂😂❤️❤️.

I find nothing of the movie annoying. I loved it.

I love Jordan fisher! The high note is what gave it away

the “JORDAN FISHERRRRR” & “I was so distracted by Jordan Fisher just now” girl me too

22:09 not Abby on Tea young’s back😭😭😭😭

YOU , miss , are my absolute FAVORITE when it comes to commenting/reacting to movies .. you seem like such a fun person to be around . Keep them coming … I am here for it !! 😎✨

Honestly this movie felt like cotton candy to me. Like, it didn't have anything deep or fulfilling to it, but it was sweet.

Tiger Parents especially Tiger Mom is indeed very annoying but as a kid you can't do anything about it.. If you want to argue your mother method, she would transform into tiger and shout you out loud with her roar and even would slap you with her tiger paws if you still not obeying her orders.. Tiger mothers think they always right because they had more experience than you and she saw more things even before you born.. So how dare you arguing your mother method if you know you were wrong? So, yeah, it's sucks and the cycle would be repeated over and over again through generation if no one brave and smart enough to proof that parenting method was wrong..

The friendship was nice, tbh never really had a close knit friend group.

Not Lakia jamming while they are doing the ritual LOL

I think all of them looks good with red hair

Mindless behavior had my heart when I was younger lol

when I heard you talk about music it warmed my heart knowing that Billie and Fineas both wrote the music

I've never been this early, but I just wanted to say you're awesome and super funny!!! 💕

7:17 literally me and everyone else that grew up with Disney😂 20:47 I literally said that yesterday when I watched this movie for the first time😂

Every time I see that scene where they’re leering at Devin I think about Billybinges saying and I quote “They stopped to simp”

This movie is so cute! I grew up in this same time frame. It brought back some great memories. I'm still friends with my middle schools besties.

it hits different when you're a 2nd generation asian immigrant. learn more about our family and our type of socializing, then you'll relate to it way more.

"...the mom should leave hers behind, she is too huge..." Entirely agreed. Imagine if she accidentally transformed inside and office building or similar. Everyone in the room with her is dead, it's possible _she's_ dead, and if the transformation is powerful enough she'll collapse the entire building killing all of them, too. As for the others giving theirs up... everyone makes choices. The panda seems to be messy and sometimes problematic, as large emotions can be if you haven't learned to deal with them. For Meilin, this is less of a problem because she's a kid and still has time to make big mistakes and recover. As an adult, the margins of error are a _lot_ smaller. If you get mad and hit someone as a child, you'll probably get grounded, suspended, etc. Do the _same thing_ as an adult... and the possibilities include _prison._ This is something they would have had to have learned while they were teens, it's not something to mess around with as an adult.

Not you jamming with the ritual song😭😭🕺

4 town was based off of many iconic kpop groups, as they have massive influence also they have some backstreet boy influences as they took over in the americas and europe in the early 2000s! so it’s pretty cool this film was set in 2002! also some other big names of the group is josh levi, and finneas!

20:48 FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT

I love you adding bible verses to your videos. It's so encouraging 😊❤

What this movie does really well is show how sometimes, when parents are like that , the child has to become the adult. Look at 13 year old mei mei holding her mothers hand and helping her like an adult whereas it should be the other way around. Trauma causes bad parenting, that's why its important to heal.

It’s annoying because it’s too realistic and relatable

8:18 is how I felt about quarantine when Covid first hit🤣

I watched turning red and it was great , I loved that movie

Not me getting excited like I'm about to watch a movie with a friend!! oooo I think this has become one of my favorite reaction/commentary channels edit: I was always ready to take a hit for my friends growing up, that scene where she literally turned her back on them made me cry 😭

IS THAT THE SKETCHY CLERIC FROM THE DAISY MART?!!

What I really like about this movie is the further talk about generational trauma!!

come on! The kitten box test is outright CHEATING. Nobody could resist it! Kittens don't play by the rules!

7:02 Ok, I'll just ask the gods to turn me into a talking steam locomotive.

Lmao my mom did something similar to Meis mom when she dragged her to the store. Except it was over me telling her a boy was trying to talk to me so she dragged me with her to go look for him and she cussed him out and told him to never talk to me again. I've never laid so flat in a car before😭

20:00 "i was so distracted by jordan fisher just now" is such a mood

I mean, I get that Mei was shocked and upset the first time she turned into a red panda but if I turned into a red panda BOY I WOULD BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD! RED PANDAS ARE FREAKING ADORABLE!!!

When you said it feels like to have one more friend well yeah that's basically what I feel like because like I have so many friends I'm like the 1 that's like cookie but I have a bubbly personality but brave to stand up to something so that that's how I make friends you try it

you deserve wayyyyy more subscribers, you're so freaking funny!!! love ya girl from Australia

I love your video reviews!!! You make me laugh so hard. I feel like in real life we could be besties 😂

I'ma have to start being an over-achieving dork-narc cuz am tryna be the top of my class.

I enjoyed watching turning red last Friday.

That drawing scene reminds me of Peter Pan when Wendy drawing Peter in class 😂😂😂

If you want the song it's called PANDAS UNITE/NOBODY LIKE U (REPRISE) on the OST. You're Welcome.

Manga: Japanese Manwha: Korean Manhua: Chinese

20:49 Omg the resemblance 🤣

it’s funny you had a lightning bolt shirt on for a movie featuring jordan fisher

I know this was posted before I watched that but that Incredibles music 10/10!!

I love the message of this movie

If you’re looking for good reactions to watch, I suggest the Cinebinge Reacts channel to see one from a Chinese-Canadian perspective!

Not GILF 🤣🤣🤣🤣

About labels : I'm agree with Meimei. Embrace all labels. Don't waste your time and effort to deny it. Have peace with it, because maybe they're right or wrong to a some degree. Take it as a somekind of criticism, and don't forget to be a good person. For the context : Meimei and her family is an immigrant. Being labelled as something is almost unavoidable.

Does it make any sense that I find the 4 town songs super catchy

You should watch/react over the moon it is very underrated

Grandma giving gilf 😭😭😭

This movie just reminds me of getting your first period

People didn't like the film for the art style, but it's basically Ardman's art style in CG instead of stop motion.

i was olny 11 when i got it lol🤣

I also love how the dad was more understanding then the mom

17:46 yea.....I was like oh nahhh👀. But I agree, her mother was doing the most 🙄 Mei Mei is 13, not 5. She likes boys and music like most girls her age, it was never that deep

...eh? annoying??

ayo i sold snacks from grade 3 to 8 and in high school i sold smokes lol

2:21 but also me 😂🤚

theyre version of manga is manhua while in korea its manwha :]

I just realised that Tyler also has the friendship bracelet too

thats the point, its supposed to be annoying to reflect how annoying we were when we were kids.

You should do a reaction to Disney's Aladdin ther 1992 version (the original one)

Child Im glad you was a Mindless Behavior obsessed girl too😂

I literally saw this one last night lol
