During the early aughts in Toronto, ambitious 13 year-old boy band fanatic Mei Lee is torn between remaining her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of teenage adolescence. When Mei discovers she transforms into a giant red panda when she gets too excited – which is, to her dismay, all of the time – she must reckon between her two selves: spirited teenager and obedient daughter. With vibrant animation and playful nods to the stylings of anime and manga, Turning Red captures the energy, uncertainty, and excitement of growing up.
