Animation One-To-Ones #12 – Domee Shi & Lyndsey Collins (Turning Red)
Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Steve Henderson in conversation with Director Domee Shi and Producer Lyndsey Collins from Pixar’s Turning Red.
Turning Red has been delighting film fans everywhere as it tells the tale of Mei Lee (voiced by newcomer Rosalie Chiang), a young, booksmart, eager to please tween on the cusp of puberty who lives for three things, for her close nit set of friends, for the dashing boyband 4*town and for the good graces of her parents, particularly her mother Ming (Sandra Oh). Puberty and pushy parents are hard enough for anyone, but Mei’s additional problem of turning into a giant red panda whenever her emotions flare up adds the additional spark to proceedings.
Showcasing an enchanting blend of epic fantasy, heartwarming friendship and characterful family drama, Turning Red deserves to put the name Pixar back on the lips of film fans everywhere, you can catch it on Disney +
