Turning Red is a coming-of-age film. Personally I think it's pretty enjoyable. Once you watch it, you're gonna watch it several times until you lose interest in it.
Definitely! It's one of my favorite pixar movies, I found It so enjoyable and even though I'm not asian, I still found It relatable. I especially really saw myself and my friends In mei's friend group, the obsession over boys, kpop, everything. It seriously doesn't deserve the hate It gets, there's far more worse pixar movies and It's highly underrated!
Honestly I watched it and disliked it Edit: I forgot to edit this when I wanted to, but what I meant by that is that the movie in general had a very good point, but sometimes it just made me cringe and made me feel uncomfortable. But the point the movie tries showing is very good!
I cant believe it was ranked as one the top 5 worst movies. This movie was very realistic in showcasing the struggles of Asian children and truing to live up to their parents visions, the red panda being the ugly side of themselves, which the parnets wish to get rid of. The movies aim here was to show that the aspects of oneself is nothing to be ashamed of as its perfeclty normal. Having periods isnt gross or weird, its perfectly normal for teens and women to go through and is a sign of maturity as well.
its too feminist so low relatability to men also the refrence of korean boy bands also made a huge impat as they are widely hated by men. the ranking is done majorly by men so thts why its ranked that way. me personally also think its very bad as it shows rebellious behavior especially during the end with that gyrating and all(i'm a male too)
@aryanarjun3260 I mean..it's from the pov of a 13 year old and the friend group full other girls. Also I don't think it's suppose to be a feminist movie.The movie shows that mei wasn't happy with only showing the half baked side of her to her parents knowing that her mom would never accept it(in which me and a lot of other asian people relate to) just because the movie wasn't relatable doesn't mean it was bad. Yes the movie is feminine touching a lot of girly topics like periods. But I feel like calling it a "feminist movie" is kinda missing the point. It's supposed to show the asian kids who'll always chase after their parents validation and acceptance.
@@mikuisbetterthenyourmom not just tht the bts like boy band is also there...also the whole atmosphere is girly and thats y. No need to think its bad tho because it was made for women and it only matters wheter women like it
Turning Red made me realize that it's okay to be cringe and immature as a tween and let me laugh about some of the embarrassing things I did in middle school in a healthy way (the sketchbook my god) it's VERY real and also very cute and hilarious
I don’t come from an Asian background but I still really enjoyed the movie. I think people who were claiming it was too “mature” or “inappropriate” for kids need to re-examine childhood development, your point about it fitting girls at their age was spot on. Also the kaiju fight was awesome
As a teen girl, it’s very accurate. I’m not boy-crazy, but I know someone who has a whole list of crushes. As stereotypical as it seems, it’s realistic
As a teen girl, it was pretty mature. It was said to be appropriate for really young kids but I personally disagree. 1. Those young kids may learn to start disrespecting their parents. 2. It had words like “sexy” and I don’t think that should be something a child repeats. 3. Overall the message was more 10+ and I feel like 9 and under should not watch it.
3:42 I honestly REALLY appreciate him saying this, some men think period is discusting and weird, and some women, too. Some guys at my school bully girls for having period, my boyfriend and his friend group are the only boys at my school that i know for sure dont joke about it. Thx KC
See what’s fascinating to me is that it’s SUPER RELATABLE. I’m not Asian, I’m white, (parents are Italian/Irish) and although they had their fair share of struggles with their family, that generational expectations never bled down to me. And what I loved about this movie is that, no I’m not Asian, but expectations placed on kids can happen to ANY KID, and even if I’m not exactly like Mei, I still related to the era and what it was like as a prepubescent because any young girl, and even boy can relate to that side of their childhood. The change from kid to adult which is your teen years. It was a fantastic movie that deserved way more than it was given. It was a truly nostalgic movie that I wouldn’t have expected to be nostalgic.
“Mei is a straight A student cause she want to be da doctor & *not get da bamboo stick* ” already got me 💀 Edit: Wow, never got 6k likes in my life, thanks guys!
this movie legit made me cry cos for once, a movie actually showed something that hits extremely close to home...especially as an asian Canadian with and strict immigrant filipino mom
10:00 i get that its more common for the expectations to be with asians hence the stereotypes, but it makes me sad that it's being acknowledged for them only (although barely), and hopefully it can be seen in the future that any kid can have these kind of parents and pressure one day, especially since someone who is not asian and has similar problems can probably feel less seen if people apply it only to asians. this also can apply to other things, but love that it's being finally acknowledged in the first place! hope the suicide rates can decrease soon, and im sorry to anyone who has to endure this kind of life with strict parents
As an asian-american senior that's being forced into medical school but just wants to be an animator and storyboard director, I started tearing up at 10:01. This movie and analysis was relatable in so many ways, I wasn't expecting this video to hit hard. Edit: I began to prove to my parents that I do have some skill in the art industry. I began selling handmade anime merch and they've been earning me lots of profit. I showed that I have the potential to survive w/o an elite degree, and they're starting to approve of me ^^ thanks everyone in the comments :) (also I am a girl)
@@thegreeenmnm its funny that his parent made the right choice , bruh like being a animator in the world where half the hollywood is striking and , he would be pushed automatically to youtube where most try hards dont earn a dime
3:42 - I think the teacher getting “weirded out” by the pads is just him feeling secondhand embarrassment out of concern for his student instead of the pads themselves. Anyway, great vid man, and I'm glad you gained strength to stand up for yourself despite all.
I distinctly remember in high school, whenever us girls wanted to leave class together, we’d say we need to use the bathroom and the male teacher would ask, “why are you going together?” and one girl just yelled, “CAUSE I NEED A TAMPON FROM HER LOCKER.” and everybody heard lmao 😭 The look on his face was priceless. Edit: since this movie takes place in the early 2000’s, the attitude towards being accepting of talking about periods in public still wasn’t as good as today. Even now I notice how some older men seem embarrassed by it.
I totally agree with you. I think Turning Red gets way too much hate. This is definitely one of Pixar's most underrated movies ever. EDIT: Imagine getting offended over a furry profile picture and starting a war in the replies.
For me it’s a meh movie, It’s not a bastardization of a series that people care like Cars 2 or Incredibles 2 And it’s not a movie where I’d watch to make fun of it like Temperamental.. or whatever it’s name is It’s an okay movie about self-discovery, even if it is cringy at times and can be boring at parts
The parents who complained about the content being “too mature” CLEARLY never lived lives if they think this boy band craze is only unique to the newer generations 🤣🤣 But this movie was really fun! Your thumbnails are fantastic bro lmao As an Asian kid myself, I def understand how heavy the expectations of Asian parents can be. My mom wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, forbade me from being friends with anyone who didn’t have the same goals, refused to support my own personal goals. Even now as a grown ass man with a ten year career in the culinary field as a chef, with awards and competition accolades under my belt, she STILL thinks I’m a failure…but one thing I learned about life is that I am the one that’s ultimately living my life. If I constantly sought approval from others to validate my own success, I’d still be stuck at home wondering what to do with my life. I love to cook and I know how hard it is to find a passion, a PURPOSE, that keeps people moving forward. So I’m thankful to God that I love what I do and maybe one day, she’ll realize that happiness doesn’t just come from money or wealth.
The movie probably did not resonate to people who had such a different upraising it was difficult to find memories to relate. That's kind of why they just do superhero movies etc because the dreams of a child are common. Your life could use some redemption of passion, which is more common to Bollywood movies. Different cultures feel familiar but families tend to be written in stones of time. We, the children, can often only buid bridges, but we won't change values in any significant way. Walking your own path is a priviledge to the child and risk to the parents, and its outcome should be the value your parents eventually find, even at their misput and hard effort to lay a different path. People are not toys or investment, they are children and they are adults, with their own desires, dreams, and values, that can't be "programmed".
Have you ever noticed that all music and the looks of the band members have all been changing as time goes by. Want to know what never changes? Boy bands. Same back then and same today.
The movie, I feel, also gets a lot of hate because it is SO GOOD at capturing the female preteen experience. People have always made fun of girls for their interests, always. Nothing that has a majority female audience is considered good by most. It resonated with me so much because it perfectly encapsulated both the growing up female experience and having toxic and strict parents that you still love and hope for their approval. It validated so many of my feelings and I cried so much watching it, even just looking at the bamboo forest scene here made me tear up again. Thank you KC for giving this movie a try, and thank you for using your voice to shed a spotlight on it❤
the bamboo forest scene in the video here made me cry again too 😭even though he was explaining things in a funny way. but the memories. i also cried so much watching this movie. i was surprised that it even had this much hate, i hadn't really checked out the ratings and i just watched it because i have very good experience with pixar movies. (if you haven't already, i'd suggest to watch pixar's "soul" and "inside out" - both amazing movies) anyway there may have been a few moments where it can be seen as "cringe" by some, but i mean, that's kind of normal especially during preteen years. i think it made it actually even better and more realistic because we all probably went through some "cringey" things in those years. life is never all glamorous and graceful in every moment, especially as a kid. her relationship with her parents was the thing that was most relatable to me though, even tho i am not east asian i'm west asian/middle eastern (kurdish) but we also have similar dynamics and often controlling parents. i love that the film was made and gave voice to a lot of our childhood traumas 😔😢
You are so right! This is why i like the movie so much. It Hits Home! Even is i lived in another country and is not asian related, soo many things where nostalgic! Tamagotchi, soaps with mom, fanfiction and weird fanatsys... Cut the Rest of the shiny girlie World. Girls are like that. Weird, funny and cringe! But some Worlds got destroyed too hard it seems... are did not wanna Look in the mirror
Maybe that's why everyone hated it 😞 teens girl in the old time are considered cringe and weird. Maybe it would've been different if it was about teen boys
I completely agree with you, it shouldn't have been ranked as one of the worse Pixar films out there. Turning Red is wildly underrated and definitely made me nostalgic about my cringey pre-teen phase. I wish there were more movies that highlighted what its like to go through puberty as a girl, I don't think that its too "mature" or "adult" as some think it is. Its the right amount and developmentally appropriate for that age group that is going through that part of their life. And its just really funny. As well as it promotes a strong message of family and wanting to be accepted by family. It also highlights toxic parenting and how that cycle can end when you're honest and live for yourself. Instead of living for the constant approval of others.
An afab person here, and this isn't how my teen years were at all. Boys? What's that? Heck, I'm still not interested, so, like... 80% of this movie is just straight up lost on me.
Turning Red is actually one of my favorites. I'm not Asian so I know that there are some parts of it that resonate a bit less with me but it was such an accurate depiction of growing up as a girl. From the fanciful, silly crush drawings to the obsession over boy bands and the struggle of trying to be who your parents want versus finding yourself... So relatable. The fact that this movie is considered so 'bad' is criminal. It so accurately captures the preteen girl experience and maybe that's why it flopped so hard but yeah, one of my favorites.
I absolutely couldn't understand why that many people hated Turning Red. For me it was a really good movie with really good Asian teen representation. I'm glad to find out there are more people think the same way.
personally I think this movie sucks but the fact this is deemed to mature for kids by some adults is fucking stupid and funny. your kid can go on the internet and find beheading if they want to, could find some random clip of groups of people shooting and killing each other if they want to. They can easily be influenced into groups whos main goal is to spread anti semitism or white supremacy or some bullshit like that. and these parents are worried about some dumb pg rated movie. fucking pathetic
the ONLY reason I disliked it was because of the oversaturation of dorkiness. I couldn't stand it, like every single character be acting goofy as hell. So unnecessary. The overarching message was completely alright, but the dorkiness was too much for me
I don't think people 'hated' it. I think people just didn't care for it. It's a representation of a lifestyle that most people who see the movie aren't going to understand. Being a Pixar movie means that it's a global movie, but the majority of the audience it had was NA. And most people from NA are not going to understand or care about what it's like to grow up in an asian family like this. If you compare it to something like Mulan where everything was very on the nose, the movie's issues are really just that the stakes are at face value, childish, being that 'a girl wants to go to a concert, her mom says no, she goes anyway, and her mom gets angry', and most people do not have the understanding of Asian culture to be able to look past that face value story into the realistic representation of what many asian people have to go through growing up. If the viewer can't relate, then they usually need a good face value story to be invested. Mulan was about this very same topic, the extreme expectations parents have for their children in asian society, naturally with the mixed in themes of how it's even worse for women historically. But the actual face value story of a character running away from home to join the army to save her father, is much more openly enjoyable than the themes this movie had. It's not a bad movie. It's just that A LOT of people that watched it can't really relate, but also weren't super engaged by the narrative. Consider this when you think about the movie's reviews. Children don't write reviews. This is a children's movie. Mulan was a movie for all audiences, enjoyed by all ages.
Even with how much I don’t like this movie I have to agree. The worst Pixar movie will still be better than the fricking Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Resonated with that tbh a lot of Asian parents also are in the generation where they're terrified of their kids being LGBT. My rebellious phase involved hanging out with my gay uncle and his husband more and more, who were very supportive of me.
I'm so happy that I find people who agree with this. It's such a good cartoon. The time period was perfect and kinda nostalgic. And I love 4town sooo much🥹
You, sir, are correct. This film accurately portrayed life as a young teen (13-14) with the exception of strict parents which I did not have (I’m white American), and when I first watched this (coincidentally, I was in eighth grade when this came out), I found a lot of relatable experiences due in part to emotion. Apart from the animation style, I don’t get why this film is underrated. It is amazing in the entire story structure. Thank you for reviewing this film. CGI animation, and animation in general, is not just for people between the ages of 3 and 9. It can be for everyone, and this story truly is one great example. (Would you look at that! I think that I’ve just earned myself my first pin.)
This is why I don’t trust rotten tomatoes or any of the movie critics. How could they give this movie a low rating. When I watched it I cried so much and then watched the recap and cried even more.
Same! I believe that the majority of people who disliked the movie are the ones who have never gone through teenage girlhood, because as an adult woman, it was SO accurate (including all of the mandatory cringe) to how me and my friends were at that age.
the critics' rating of this movie on rotten tomatoes is 95% :) it's the audience that gave it 68% i really like rotten tomatoes for the ability to see critics' reviews, i do trust these more than the audience (another good example being Midsommar which i loved - critics 83%, audience 63%)
This movie can resonate with so many kids of so many different cultures, at the end of the day we all just want to make our family happy and proud of us and sadly that's not a reality for a good handful of us. This movie should be rated higher. I love it a lot
This is gonna sound weird, but thank you for opening up about your relationship with your parents. I'm never sure how much of the strict Asian parent culture is a stereotype. And the fact you've gone through that kind of thing with your parents and we're willing to share it with us makes me relate to you more. Like normally when I watch comedy TH-camrs there's this divorce from it where I forget you guys have lives to. As someone who's also more interested in artistic endeavors which has given me a bit of friction with my family to, I really respect you for doing what makes you happy.
As a child of immigrant parents, I too feel resonated in this movie. Im Mexican, and I oftentimes have the feeling of always having to please my parents just to feel worthy of their life. I definitely enjoy this movie ❤️ and it's surprising how it's low rated.
This is one of my favorite movies in the past few years. I relate to Mei so much. I grew up being really into Jpop boy bands and my parents thought it was the weirdest thing ever. I was bullied at school and felt like a total freak and was depressed. I finally found some friends who liked me for me and who enjoyed similar things to me. I ended up going to local anime cons, etc. and eventually studied abroad in Japan and felt so normal and safe for the first time. I also experienced a lot of trauma as a kid from my parents, who had a lot of trauma when they were younger. It was really emotional seeing the ending of this movie - I’m so glad Mei’s mom realized how harsh she was being and started to love her daughter in a less controlling way, but I never got that, and now I’m 33. This movie is so cute and fun and depicts friendship and childhood so realistically yet in a comforting way. And the animation style is amazing. I love everything about it ❤ and your commentary was hilarious 😂
I believe that it’s a movie that all teens can relate to regardless of gender or ethnicity. It has more emphasis on Asian households and being a teenage girl. But I like how it steps out of the comfort zone and does something original and realistic.
It's creators literally bragged that it was a movie made by women for little girls , then when it flopped they started complaining that men refused to watch their movie 😂😂
I never saw Turning Red but Brave is awesome! I related with the movie so much. Merida and Elanor's relationship is like my mom and me. Except we are Mexican so... things getting thrown at me or the chancla 😅 was the response I got back when I talked back.
I agree with "Turning red", but disagree with "Brave". After watching "Brave was a disappointment" from Eliquorice I'm convinced that creation of this film was handled poorly and it could've been really great if not because of men. Recommend to watch this video if you like film dissecting.
I remember watching Turning Red and at that scene immediately going "Yup, that's Discount Jimin." And yet, I was sorely disappointed by the lack of finger hearts in this movie.
while the video is one of my personal favorites and funniest "explained by an Asian", I love the moment he explained how understandable and relatable the movie is for him and most Asians and I'm so glad he chose to continue TH-cam because these videos make me feel so much better when I watch them. Gotta love Korean Comic
honestly my grandmother never actually said "I love you" to my mom and like a lot of Asians, she had always been very strict to her, like you said, it's a cycle because the same things happened between my grandmother and her mother (and it's even worse), and since my mom married my European dad and also turned Christian, it somehow broke the cycle which is why my mom is different, supports me, and is closer to me
Omg that’s amazing ❤ my friends who also half Korean half Chinese parents also broke the cycle. All of their Asian peers have been envious of them cuz their parents are strict yet chill
All the comments you said about asian parents just hits me hard cause it's so true. LIving up to our parent's expectations is such a pressure for us and turning red really shows this perfectly
I watched this movie with low expectations but really loved it. I'm not Asian but I was once a pre-teen girl so could totally relate. I love these reviews you are doing and appreciate the honesty you inject about your own family and experiences.
I'm a freaking teen girl and I LOVE this movie cuz this is too relatable. I hate that this movie gets slandered a lot for being too relatable. Great vid! My friend recommended me this. You earnt a subscriber!
nooo this is literally one of the best (and relatable) movies!! I've loved it sm even when it first came out (I also have strict asian parents and I relate to mei a lot) and it's really just a very good movie overall
I loved turning red then it came out. I am not Asian, but I had strict Latina parents. I related to Mei Mei so much, I think the panda resemblance was a smart move. This movie was hugely underrated and I still absolutely love it. P.S: Saying it’s “too mature” considering every teen girl was watching Twilight in 2013. And ya know, there was talk about sex, violence and alcohol 💀💀💀
Literally. I think they forget what even preteen kids get into. Especially these days the internet is wayyy too open. You can’t just sweep it under the rug and hope it will go away. And this clearly wasn’t a movie meant for kids younger than like 10.
I can't believe people think so little of this movie. I can't relate to the Asian aspect personally but I really love the portrayal of a 12 year old girl. I remember that. The struggle relating to you mother, the embarrassment and mystery of periods, hiding your artwork because you don't want your parents to know you like something they don't approve of or get. I think it's a beautiful movie and severely underrated.

See what’s fascinating to me is that it’s SUPER RELATABLE. I’m not Asian, I’m white, (parents are Italian/Irish) and although they had their fair share of struggles with their family, that generational expectations never bled down to me.
And what I loved about this movie is that, no I’m not Asian, but expectations placed on kids can happen to ANY KID, and even if I’m not exactly like Mei, I still related to the era and what it was like as a prepubescent because any young girl, and even boy can relate to that side of their childhood. The change from kid to adult which is your teen years.
It was a fantastic movie that deserved way more than it was given. It was a truly nostalgic movie that I wouldn’t have expected to be nostalgic.

this movie legit made me cry cos for once, a movie actually showed something that hits extremely close to home...especially as an asian Canadian with and strict immigrant filipino mom
Same! I'm not asian but I was raised in a very strict household and my mom expected A LOT from me so this movie REALLY was relatable
Same here. From the awkward teenage phase to seeking validation from a strict motherly figure. I was sobbing by the end of the movie!!

10:00 i get that its more common for the expectations to be with asians hence the stereotypes, but it makes me sad that it's being acknowledged for them only (although barely), and hopefully it can be seen in the future that any kid can have these kind of parents and pressure one day, especially since someone who is not asian and has similar problems can probably feel less seen if people apply it only to asians. this also can apply to other things, but love that it's being finally acknowledged in the first place! hope the suicide rates can decrease soon, and im sorry to anyone who has to endure this kind of life with strict parents
Exactly! It can happen to anyone.

As an asian-american senior that's being forced into medical school but just wants to be an animator and storyboard director, I started tearing up at 10:01. This movie and analysis was relatable in so many ways, I wasn't expecting this video to hit hard.
Edit: I began to prove to my parents that I do have some skill in the art industry. I began selling handmade anime merch and they've been earning me lots of profit. I showed that I have the potential to survive w/o an elite degree, and they're starting to approve of me ^^ thanks everyone in the comments :)

This is actually the funniest shit i've ever seen, and the most formative lmao
3:42 - I think the teacher getting “weirded out” by the pads is just him feeling secondhand embarrassment out of concern for his student instead of the pads themselves.
Anyway, great vid man, and I'm glad you gained strength to stand up for yourself despite all.
This is what I was thinking too. I was also cringing at the mom
That’s what I thought. It’s funnier that even the teacher was like “damn lady, you just embarrassed your girl BAD. Sheeeesh”
I distinctly remember in high school, whenever us girls wanted to leave class together, we’d say we need to use the bathroom and the male teacher would ask, “why are you going together?” and one girl just yelled, “CAUSE I NEED A TAMPON FROM HER LOCKER.” and everybody heard lmao 😭 The look on his face was priceless.
Edit: since this movie takes place in the early 2000’s, the attitude towards being accepting of talking about periods in public still wasn’t as good as today. Even now I notice how some older men seem embarrassed by it.
Probably because the expression doesn’t look like embarrassed to some people at least
I totally agree with you. I think Turning Red gets way too much hate. This is definitely one of Pixar's most underrated movies ever.
EDIT: Imagine getting offended over a furry profile picture and starting a war in the replies.
Real
Fr, it was really good and realistic. People hate to face reality
For me it’s a meh movie,
It’s not a bastardization of a series that people care like Cars 2 or Incredibles 2
And it’s not a movie where I’d watch to make fun of it like Temperamental.. or whatever it’s name is
It’s an okay movie about self-discovery, even if it is cringy at times and can be boring at parts
AGREED I LOVE THIS MOVIE
Nah it ain’t underrated it was highly popular during it’s released (despite controversial views) but its rather an overlooked pixar movie
The way You said "💅💥Kaaboom~💥💅"
The parents who complained about the content being “too mature” CLEARLY never lived lives if they think this boy band craze is only unique to the newer generations 🤣🤣
But this movie was really fun! Your thumbnails are fantastic bro lmao
As an Asian kid myself, I def understand how heavy the expectations of Asian parents can be. My mom wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, forbade me from being friends with anyone who didn’t have the same goals, refused to support my own personal goals. Even now as a grown ass man with a ten year career in the culinary field as a chef, with awards and competition accolades under my belt, she STILL thinks I’m a failure…but one thing I learned about life is that I am the one that’s ultimately living my life. If I constantly sought approval from others to validate my own success, I’d still be stuck at home wondering what to do with my life. I love to cook and I know how hard it is to find a passion, a PURPOSE, that keeps people moving forward. So I’m thankful to God that I love what I do and maybe one day, she’ll realize that happiness doesn’t just come from money or wealth.
The movie probably did not resonate to people who had such a different upraising it was difficult to find memories to relate. That's kind of why they just do superhero movies etc because the dreams of a child are common. Your life could use some redemption of passion, which is more common to Bollywood movies. Different cultures feel familiar but families tend to be written in stones of time. We, the children, can often only buid bridges, but we won't change values in any significant way. Walking your own path is a priviledge to the child and risk to the parents, and its outcome should be the value your parents eventually find, even at their misput and hard effort to lay a different path. People are not toys or investment, they are children and they are adults, with their own desires, dreams, and values, that can't be "programmed".
Is it just me or did both of you wrote so much 😂
@@Summertime-r4gIt's just you. Adults don't mind reading a paragraph.
Have you ever noticed that all music and the looks of the band members have all been changing as time goes by. Want to know what never changes? Boy bands. Same back then and same today.
The movie, I feel, also gets a lot of hate because it is SO GOOD at capturing the female preteen experience. People have always made fun of girls for their interests, always. Nothing that has a majority female audience is considered good by most. It resonated with me so much because it perfectly encapsulated both the growing up female experience and having toxic and strict parents that you still love and hope for their approval. It validated so many of my feelings and I cried so much watching it, even just looking at the bamboo forest scene here made me tear up again.
Thank you KC for giving this movie a try, and thank you for using your voice to shed a spotlight on it❤
the bamboo forest scene in the video here made me cry again too 😭even though he was explaining things in a funny way. but the memories. i also cried so much watching this movie. i was surprised that it even had this much hate, i hadn't really checked out the ratings and i just watched it because i have very good experience with pixar movies. (if you haven't already, i'd suggest to watch pixar's "soul" and "inside out" - both amazing movies) anyway there may have been a few moments where it can be seen as "cringe" by some, but i mean, that's kind of normal especially during preteen years. i think it made it actually even better and more realistic because we all probably went through some "cringey" things in those years. life is never all glamorous and graceful in every moment, especially as a kid. her relationship with her parents was the thing that was most relatable to me though, even tho i am not east asian i'm west asian/middle eastern (kurdish) but we also have similar dynamics and often controlling parents. i love that the film was made and gave voice to a lot of our childhood traumas 😔😢
hear hear
You are so right! This is why i like the movie so much. It Hits Home! Even is i lived in another country and is not asian related, soo many things where nostalgic! Tamagotchi, soaps with mom, fanfiction and weird fanatsys... Cut the Rest of the shiny girlie World. Girls are like that. Weird, funny and cringe! But some Worlds got destroyed too hard it seems... are did not wanna Look in the mirror
Maybe that's why everyone hated it 😞 teens girl in the old time are considered cringe and weird. Maybe it would've been different if it was about teen boys

I completely agree with you, it shouldn't have been ranked as one of the worse Pixar films out there. Turning Red is wildly underrated and definitely made me nostalgic about my cringey pre-teen phase. I wish there were more movies that highlighted what its like to go through puberty as a girl, I don't think that its too "mature" or "adult" as some think it is. Its the right amount and developmentally appropriate for that age group that is going through that part of their life. And its just really funny. As well as it promotes a strong message of family and wanting to be accepted by family. It also highlights toxic parenting and how that cycle can end when you're honest and live for yourself. Instead of living for the constant approval of others.
It isn’t underrated though, it was highly popular during its release despite controversies
@@juanchoresultay2704 is is underrated, something being popular doesnt mean that it is not underrated
I just think nobody likes teen girls and considers them weird that's why it has the worst rating for depicting the teenagers girl phase 😔
@@diablo.the.cheater I guess you mean the plot is underrated
An afab person here, and this isn't how my teen years were at all. Boys? What's that? Heck, I'm still not interested, so, like... 80% of this movie is just straight up lost on me.
Turning Red is actually one of my favorites. I'm not Asian so I know that there are some parts of it that resonate a bit less with me but it was such an accurate depiction of growing up as a girl. From the fanciful, silly crush drawings to the obsession over boy bands and the struggle of trying to be who your parents want versus finding yourself... So relatable. The fact that this movie is considered so 'bad' is criminal. It so accurately captures the preteen girl experience and maybe that's why it flopped so hard but yeah, one of my favorites.
Im asian but i dont like it that much rlly its kind of bad but i resepct ur opinion
I absolutely couldn't understand why that many people hated Turning Red. For me it was a really good movie with really good Asian teen representation. I'm glad to find out there are more people think the same way.
Sooo asian teens twerk to assert dominance against their mums when they are both giant red furrys..?
personally I think this movie sucks but the fact this is deemed to mature for kids by some adults is fucking stupid and funny. your kid can go on the internet and find beheading if they want to, could find some random clip of groups of people shooting and killing each other if they want to. They can easily be influenced into groups whos main goal is to spread anti semitism or white supremacy or some bullshit like that. and these parents are worried about some dumb pg rated movie. fucking pathetic
the ONLY reason I disliked it was because of the oversaturation of dorkiness. I couldn't stand it, like every single character be acting goofy as hell. So unnecessary. The overarching message was completely alright, but the dorkiness was too much for me
Ngl, I don’t care about any of that, it’s just a good movie, because it’s a good movie, nothing deep about it (at least for me)
I don't think people 'hated' it. I think people just didn't care for it. It's a representation of a lifestyle that most people who see the movie aren't going to understand. Being a Pixar movie means that it's a global movie, but the majority of the audience it had was NA. And most people from NA are not going to understand or care about what it's like to grow up in an asian family like this.
If you compare it to something like Mulan where everything was very on the nose, the movie's issues are really just that the stakes are at face value, childish, being that 'a girl wants to go to a concert, her mom says no, she goes anyway, and her mom gets angry', and most people do not have the understanding of Asian culture to be able to look past that face value story into the realistic representation of what many asian people have to go through growing up.
If the viewer can't relate, then they usually need a good face value story to be invested. Mulan was about this very same topic, the extreme expectations parents have for their children in asian society, naturally with the mixed in themes of how it's even worse for women historically. But the actual face value story of a character running away from home to join the army to save her father, is much more openly enjoyable than the themes this movie had.
It's not a bad movie. It's just that A LOT of people that watched it can't really relate, but also weren't super engaged by the narrative.
Consider this when you think about the movie's reviews. Children don't write reviews. This is a children's movie. Mulan was a movie for all audiences, enjoyed by all ages.

The "you are gay" is wild
Resonated with that tbh a lot of Asian parents also are in the generation where they're terrified of their kids being LGBT. My rebellious phase involved hanging out with my gay uncle and his husband more and more, who were very supportive of me.

You, sir, are correct. This film accurately portrayed life as a young teen (13-14) with the exception of strict parents which I did not have (I’m white American), and when I first watched this (coincidentally, I was in eighth grade when this came out), I found a lot of relatable experiences due in part to emotion. Apart from the animation style, I don’t get why this film is underrated. It is amazing in the entire story structure. Thank you for reviewing this film. CGI animation, and animation in general, is not just for people between the ages of 3 and 9. It can be for everyone, and this story truly is one great example. (Would you look at that! I think that I’ve just earned myself my first pin.)
The film was underrated cuz it was only available for Disney+, it never hitted in theaters
Not just underrated but kinda overhated too
the majority of the audience is the west probably
@@SkeleEditz they did put it in theaters this past year alongside Luca

This is why I don’t trust rotten tomatoes or any of the movie critics. How could they give this movie a low rating. When I watched it I cried so much and then watched the recap and cried even more.
Same! I believe that the majority of people who disliked the movie are the ones who have never gone through teenage girlhood, because as an adult woman, it was SO accurate (including all of the mandatory cringe) to how me and my friends were at that age.
@@PootisArchiveshhexactly
the critics' rating of this movie on rotten tomatoes is 95% :) it's the audience that gave it 68%
i really like rotten tomatoes for the ability to see critics' reviews, i do trust these more than the audience (another good example being Midsommar which i loved - critics 83%, audience 63%)
This movie can resonate with so many kids of so many different cultures, at the end of the day we all just want to make our family happy and proud of us and sadly that's not a reality for a good handful of us.
This movie should be rated higher. I love it a lot
1:16 I’m A sLaVe 😝🤪
This is gonna sound weird, but thank you for opening up about your relationship with your parents. I'm never sure how much of the strict Asian parent culture is a stereotype. And the fact you've gone through that kind of thing with your parents and we're willing to share it with us makes me relate to you more. Like normally when I watch comedy TH-camrs there's this divorce from it where I forget you guys have lives to. As someone who's also more interested in artistic endeavors which has given me a bit of friction with my family to, I really respect you for doing what makes you happy.

This is one of my favorite movies in the past few years. I relate to Mei so much. I grew up being really into Jpop boy bands and my parents thought it was the weirdest thing ever. I was bullied at school and felt like a total freak and was depressed. I finally found some friends who liked me for me and who enjoyed similar things to me. I ended up going to local anime cons, etc. and eventually studied abroad in Japan and felt so normal and safe for the first time. I also experienced a lot of trauma as a kid from my parents, who had a lot of trauma when they were younger. It was really emotional seeing the ending of this movie - I’m so glad Mei’s mom realized how harsh she was being and started to love her daughter in a less controlling way, but I never got that, and now I’m 33. This movie is so cute and fun and depicts friendship and childhood so realistically yet in a comforting way. And the animation style is amazing. I love everything about it ❤ and your commentary was hilarious 😂
“I’m a slave” got me ROLLING. Gotta love the random Asian tuning in

I believe that it’s a movie that all teens can relate to regardless of gender or ethnicity. It has more emphasis on Asian households and being a teenage girl. But I like how it steps out of the comfort zone and does something original and realistic.
