Mei Meets Her Mom's Inner Child | Turning Red | Pixar

[@punnavieira1681]

Who knew the reason Mei's mom is basically the person she is now was because of a childhood trauma, which was getting into an argument with her mom, and while in Red Panda mode, she gave her that scar. Wow, this movie really is a tear jerker.

This movie is so underrated. The layers of storytelling and metaphor are so beautiful. Feminine rage and expressions of dominance and power are discouraged and looked down upon in so many cultures that recontextualizing it into a just and righteous form with the red panda has so much power. Anger is not a bad thing. What we do with that anger is where the harm lies. The harm is in how we nurture and suppress that anger and let it simmer into resentment and rage, until something triggers the inevitable explosion. Ming’s panda form being so large and powerful that it’s nearly impossible to control and deal with is an intense metaphor for the way that pain can cause one to be an abusive monster. Seeing the pain and fear that lies at the heart of that anger is where healing and understanding comes.

Ming’s panda is the panda that belongs to anyone whose zodiac sign is cancer, because cancer is the most emotional zodiac sign of all zodiac signs. Their emotions are so strong that it is impossible to control, which can make them a bit aggressive. ♋️

[@realafah]

Tbf, it’s easier to have learned how early on as a kid, than you would as an adult. It’s hard to learn new things as an adult. Heck, adults still act like kids and throw tantrums because no one ever made them learn any different. It’s not impossible, and it would be better for them to learn as opposed to taking the easier way, but it will take longer and this is also the safest way by that point.

[@adamdavis6512]

And I mean Ming kind of has to keep hers under lock and key since it’s hard enough to control when your not a kaiju plush toy

[@Ne0nLobster]

At the very least, Ming should've kept hers. As the reason it was so monstrous was because she hadn't found a way to manage her emotions and past trauma in a healthy manner. And I get the feeling that Mei would've helped her with that.

[@manuelorozco7760]

This is where Turning Red was taken to a whole new level besides the Panda fight. I’m 30 I have autism and I get scared sometimes to lose my composure and hurt someone.

[@surraciddac170]

This scene really speaks to how, even though we’ve dealt with dysfunction and stress from our mothers that they used to be a scared little girl before. I wish my mom got to heal those parts of herself so she wouldn’t end up hurting me as a child with her explosive temper, but when she was stuck in an abusive household herself I think she wasn’t sure how to get help for herself or that it was impossible. Stories like this are so important.

[@DeaKiraVL0]

This is really a shot in the heart. It's hard to be in either role. As a child, you want the independence but also to full fill others' expectations. As a adult you basically going through the same when you are a child but also with the fear that your own child would go through hardship, so you would do your best to protect them. Either way, i think no matter what role you are in, you just want the perfect for both worlds, but you might just end up hurting both at the end, and that becomes fear. It's just hard to find the balance.

[@vulpixfairy1985]

This beautiful scene reminds me so much of my mum and I…my mum was extremely strict with me and my brother and so I was often scared of her even though I love her very much. It’s only when I have my son I understood her anxiety and worry for me. But I have to be better than her and be more open and loving with my son so that he won’t through the same pain as I did.. and she knew that her past actions have hurt me and made me not want to open up to her. One day we were out for lunch with my dad and my mum wanted a private talk with me. She told me how proud she is of me or raising my son the best I could and apologised what she did back then. I won’t be able to fully open up to her and my dad but I’m grateful to have this step and make peace…

We need a sequel for this and in the sequel we can dig deep into Ming’s past.

[@Adamkalb1]

Turning Red, congratulations at succeeding where Pixar failed once before with Brave 10 years ago. I really hated how insufferable and annoying Merida and Elinor were, and I did not care about their personal conflict. I wish Brenda Chapman did not get fired from director duty, but because she said her vision for the story she wrote still came through...I can kind of see why she got fired if that had to be done to salvage the movie's production when she already made it hard for us to like Merida and Elinor. I already forgot most of what I watched happen in Brave, but I could care for Mei Lin and Ming in Turning Red because the story gave us a natural reason to like them and feel empathy for them, even when they did not get along.
