I really loved how supportive Mei's friends were after learning her secret. They love and care for her unconditionally, accepting her just as she is. ♥️

I liked that this film was set in Canada, since we got to see plenty of Candian landmarks, such as Tim Hortons, or the CNN Tower. There's also legendary Candian Sandra Oh as Ming! 🇨🇦

Was really impressed by this movie, the maturity, the nostalgia, the themes throughout the movie. This movie actually made me teary eye in the final 3rd (no spoilers) but very happy with this movie.

When Mei was jumping when the red moon was behind, it looked like a reference to the Girl Who Leapt Through Time. And some of the elements of were movie were anime like especially the sparkly eyes!!!

Another one: At the start of the film, Mei shouts "Besties, assemble!", which Marvel fans will recognize as a nod to the iconic catchphrase "Avengers, assemble!". And considering this and the lead actors for Onward and Lightyear, someone at Pixar is obviously a Marvel fan.

I dunno but I think the size of Mei's mother's Panda symbolizes the pressures she got from Mei's grandmother. The more pressure and secrets kept inside makes a large bomb that when explodes is very destructive. That's how I view it, how about you guys?

Really loved this movie. Loved the Mai had real girl problems and had a diverse group of girlfriends to support her. Finally, good job disney.

While easter eggs and references are things that i wasn't really looking for in the movie, i found the story to be quite interesting!

As a linguist, I really loved when Abby realised her mistake and went off in Korean. lol. I enjoyed Turning Red waaaay more than I thought I would though.

Pretty sure Mei's mom causing the grandma's scar was as explicit as subtlety can get. She touches the scar when talking about Mei's mom's panda, and iirc Mei's mom mentions hurting her mother when she transformed.

My youngest son is named Devin and we all laughed when the scene involved the girls eyecanding Devon. Now Devin loves doing a foot stomp and yelling awhoo.

Fun fact, along Chinatown in Toronto, at one of the streetcar stops, there is a restaurant named bao... that was a truly double reference to Spadina Ave (chinatown) and to the short film

When Mei and her best friends are sitting on the roof looking at the pool, you can see the Pixar ball floating inside the pool.

I spotted the Pizza Planet Truck parked on the street during Mei's run to the SkyDome after she abandoned her ritual ceremony!

This movie take us back to the early 2000's like playing with our tamagotchi's listen to radio disney and watching fox family that has S club 7

I grew up in Beijing and I really love how they get a lot of Chinese details right: 4 is an unlucky number, because it is pronounced similar to "si", which means death. Some buildings don’t have the floor number 4 and some (especially hospitals) don’t have 14th floor, because it can be pronounced "yao si": about to die When Jin, Mei's father, picks up the telephone he says 喂 (wei)？, the Chinese greeting when picking up the phone The meals are Chinese styled: porridge for breakfast, dad’s cooking with the frying pan, making Bao Zi or “dumplings” together as a family while watching TV, the circular spinning family dining table, the food, and the chopsticks in the family dinner scene before the ritual The signs and art style in front of Mei's desk that says Work, Study, Listen. For me it is very reminiscent of the style of stationary everyone in elementary and middle school used in Beijing Mei's family shortens Meilin to Mei Mei, a common childhood nickname that family members call Chinese kids The temple: although everything in the Lee family temple is remade into red pandas, everything from the architecture to stone lions to the fish pond is very Chinese styled The TV show Mei and Ming watched when making Bao Zi: Chinese people love costume dramas set in ancient dramas The father’s accent The Chinese paintings, the characters, even the stamps and calligraphy in the temple The traditional instruments in the music

2002: A year after September 11, Pokemon ruby & Sapphire, Treasure Planet, Lilo & Stitch, Halo, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Tamagotchi, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, these are some things that come to mind when I think of this year.

Definitely one of my favourite Pixar movies by far!

I just heard from behind the scenes of Turning Red that the movie takes place in the Toy Story universe. Interesting 🤔 ❤️👍

This is such a good movie. I loved the early 2000s references with their attire such as butterfly clips in the hair and plastic choker necklaces. This movie is at once nostalgic and refreshing. It covers a new topic for Disney in a familiar and fun way.

I'd like to point out the Pusheen Cat parody plush that Mei sleeps with

Red Panda Meiling and Sulley from Monsters Inc would be an awesome tag team

“The food your mother makes to keep you from leaving home” damn that kinda hit me. No wonder my mom felt a lost once I (the youngest of 3 girls) and the last one to move out started a life with my bf/fiancé and later on I became vegan, i didn’t see any of it as a big deal but small changes cuz I was still her child but in her view I was a whole new different person. I loved my mom’s fried chicken & ham sandwiches but I just now enjoy the smells of her kitchen and looks of her cooking

I tought you would include Meimei's drawing of her friends as Sailor Guardians, from Sailor Moon

" You can speculate the film takes place around the early 2000's, due to the noticeable 'talk to the hand' sticker" *yeah, also cause it tells us it's 2002. like multiple times.*

dude when priya came up with her "nightfall" book i literally screamed 😂

here’s one: Since mei is 13 and the movie is set in 2002, that would mean that she was born in 1989. The starting scene from the Incredibles (when mr incredible met elastigirl) was also set it 1989, since it was 15 years before 2004.

The book priya Has Named "Nightfall" which seems to be knock-off version of Twilight and When Priya Asks mei "Are you Werewolf?"It Might to Reference to Werewolf character in Twilight and Probably nightfall and If you Squint enough You can notice the Book cover of nightfall Which Has 1 couple which might be Direct referrence For Bella and Edward And we can see few character Which might be Edward Siblings or Jacobs pack and Since the Movie takes place in Early 2000s When Twilight was Famous it makes sense

5:09 you can know it's the early 2000 because of the calender in the scene where Mei find out why she's a red panda

As a Canadian, seeing a Disney/Pixar movie based in Canada and seeing specific Canadian things like the Timbits or the CNN tower, I was sooooo happy!!! I literally screamed when I saw the box of Timbits, or the sign at the front of the school saying "Canadian Indigenous People's History Month". I absolutely loved this movie!!

There was one you missed: in the scene where Mei throws a dodgeball, her arm gets pandafied, and she threw it with great force. If you didn't get it, it was most likely a reference to BNA where Michiru throws a baseball with such force.

One of the boy band members(the blonde one) looks like one of the BTS boys. I think it's Jin during the Map of the soul personal days. My daughter who is Army noticed it.

I really loved this movie, this was like a Canadian Pixar Movie!

Well it took over twenty years for Pixar and seventy for Disney to set a movie in Canada FINALLY, Toronto is Toronto not New York or Chicago or any city in The US

2 characters almost look a like other Disney characters Miriam - Alberto scorfano (Luca) Priya - Mirabel madrigal (encanto)

Jin is such an underrated character. He is so sweet 🥺

I just noticed that the mom sais "what about dinner? I made all your favorites" but we know it's the dad that cooks in this family

How could I not notice when 4*Town did a move from the Backstreet Boys

Another one is that Mei's mother, grandmother, and aunts are all wearing blue and green colors, which are associated with calmness. Mei primarily wears pinks and reds, fiery wild colors.

Fun fact, on the table in Mei's house when the family is having breakfast, you can spot a box of Timbits from Tim Hortons with the original logo

can we talk about how the book that Priya was reading is Twilight but in the movie it was "Nightfall"

Another easter egg is how a blue jay lands in front of the sky dome, home of the baseball team, the toronto blue jays

There is one more Easter egg: Tyler's birthday was March 17th. The movie takes place in 2002, and on March 17th of that year, Wrestlemania was held... in the SkyDome. They probably heard all of the cheers and whatnot from the party. EDIT: My mistake. The movie takes place in May 2002 (fitting, since the main character is MEI), not March 2002. I apologize. But Wrestlemania was at the SkyDome in March of 2002.

I love it when Priya just says things that you would normally say super expressively but instead just says them very monotonously… says a lot about personality (I am totally the same)

Mei's aunties transformation into red panda has a hint of Power Rangers/Super Sentai vibe

The first thing my mom said when she first saw the trailer was: this is basically a female teenwolf 😂

9:21 the sign for the red art room is a red panda! Hmmm, interesting

Statistically, at least one member of 4*Town probably went on to host Saturday Night Live

This movie was adorable and an utter delight!

the skull on the skateboard i think is a nod to sid's skull t-shirt

There are two female characters with an omnipod on which is a type 1 diabetic insulin supply....susan fong , who is a rendering supervisor for turning red, included this because she too is diabetic

I was looking everywhere for the pizza planet truck, I didn't see it. Also which scene hit you harder: When Mei chose her mom over her friends or when Luca denied himself in front of Bruno becoming a sea creature?

Did anyone else spot the 10 pack of Tim bits in the Tim Horton's box on the table the morning Mei turned into the red panda?

I KNEW THAT SCENE WITH MEI AND HER FRIENDS GOOGLING OVER PRIYA AND THE GOTH GIRL MEANT SOMETHING

I love Burrow!!! Love the Easter egg in this film!

So many people hate on this movie and I don’t know why, it’s cringy towards the beginning but honestly except for that it’s really great! I love that the movie was somewhat mature and the ending doesn’t feel forced like a classic Pixar Ending, it feels earned! Nice Pixar! 😁

Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought that Tyler might be LGBTQ+.

The olden days before smartphones are a thing. My neighbor's kid loves to play his virtual pet, the Tamagotchi. I did not own one, but those were quite popular back then.

The two details I found in 4*town are the outfits and the dance on the rubble. The Backstreet Boys definitely are the references they came from.

On the back of Miriam’s skate board did have lots of LightYear related things, such as the Star Command symbols, but also Sox, the cat that went with Buzz on his adventures in the movie. Sorta proud I caught that lol

I don't know if this was a fever dream or something. But the scene where Mei says "AWOOGA" i think behind her it said Meme. Like the team knew people would turn that into a meme. Though, that could be my mind playing tricks on me.

They literally say in the movie that mei's mom and grandma fought. And she touched the scar when she brought it up.

Wow, I was 9 years old in 2002. I would definitely get the early 2000s references. Also, was I the only that wasn't obsessed with boy bands back in the day? I mean, I was into them, but not to the point of obsession. Like, I had an N'SYNC poster and notebook, plus 2 of their CDs, but that was about it. I was more into Pokémon and Disney Channel back then.

So cool that there’s a reference to it in Luca!

The creator of Turning Red actually said that 4 Town is based off of two kpop groups, Big Bang and 2PM

I caught the Bau call backs!

“Things you missed in Turning Red” Me: *the whole thing*

I like the way the gals yelled "red Panda!" Reminded me of power rangers.

Thanks for the easter eggs!

OH MY GOD I LOVE JORDAN FISHER!

12:44 the way they’re just like YASSSSS KILL IT LES GIRL

What about Riley from inside out? She was in there too

I never thought 4 town would be something I'm dying for 😂

LBP Middle school’s sign indicates it’s “Canadian Indigenous People History month” which is a thing but not until June. Oh and started in 2007. I’d like to think that Mei’s Canada is a little more forward than mine.

7:58 Hawaiian pizza was originally made in my city, Chatham! Honestly it's always a fun thing to bring up in any conversation.

Riley from inside out also appears in the show twice. Which makes sense since Riley is Canadian

Yes I did catch little details in Turning Red on Disney Plus from Pixar movies or on the DVDs like BAO Callbacks and Teen Wolf Connections and 4*Town Voices and Mei's Flute Case and Canadian Landmarks and The Pizza Planet Truck and Purl and Burrow Bunny and Luxo Ball & A113 and Barr & Lisa and Tripledent Gum and The Scar on Mei's Grandma's Face and Priya May Be LGBTQ+ and Lightyear

Priya is the best!

with the 4town, they reminded me of BTN

It's Not Priya who may be LGBT, it's Tyler. Why else would he be at the 4Town Concert?

I love the sene of “Toledo, Ohio”, mainly because I’m from Toledo, Ohio. Her reaction is most people reaction when I tell them that from there…purely confusion and puzzling facial expressions because no one never hear of the city. Only if you are fan of Adam West. In Batman tv show, one of Robert catch phrase is “Holy Toledo, Batman!” Or you from Spain. Only time you know or hear the name Toledo.

I am surprised no mention of Tim Horton's doughnuts found on the table the morning she first turns into the Red Panda.

Yes there was some little details in Turning Red on Disney plus like BAO Callbacks and Teen Wolf Connections and 4 Town Voices and Mei's Flute Case and Canadian Landmarks and The Pizza Planet Truck and Purl and Burrow Bunny and Luxo Ball and A113 and Tripledent Gum and Lightyear

There was a blink and you’ll miss it Easter egg for Coco. The boy in the hall that catches Meis attention is wearing a shirt with the band name Escapula.

that round looking building is like a easter egg to everest

I noticed that the little girl from up had lotso in the corner 👀 10:52

So, I dunno if this is a easter egg but we can guess that Mei was born in China while the one child policy was still intact. (1979-2016) That might be why she is an only child.

I laughed so much while watching Turning Red. Another great one from Pixar

lol another thing too her fav stuffed toy is pugsheen (alternative form of pusheen) 😂😂😂

Was this influence by the anime Ranma 1/2?

The pizza planet truck

“OOH, HO-HO-Ho, THAT’S ‘Nothing! You Wanna See ‘CRASS’?!” Meilin ‘Mei’ Lee, 2021

i just realised that the bird at the ending flying to the temple look like Mordecai like bro blue fur with black stripes

bruh she’s lucky to have Tim Hortons any other Canadians Agree

Fun fact: Tae Young is inspired by Jimin from BTS

I’m Canadian so I’m lovin this movie

We were saying “talk to the hand” in 1991, for sure.

This may be a spoiler but this movie shows a lot of anime references and I find that pretty cool

💥💥👏 Love the infor
