Turning Red (2022)

Along with the normal tribulations of puberty, Canadian thirteen year old Mei must also grapple with an inherited condition which turns her into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited. Foregoing the traditional Pixar story arc of beginning with a heart-rendering opening, instead this film has a number of exceptionally cringe-worthy episodes as Mei finds herself through pulling from her mother’s influence and into the support of her friend group. Though I don’t imagine I’ll find need to rewatch it again in the near future, it is incredibly relatable to anyone who has survived their teenage years.
