The beast is not the period itself pls its emotions. Its the generational trauma of making women in their family suppress their emotions to be “perfect” (which causes drifts between the moms and daughters) and her owning up to who she is and allowing her emotions (panda) be free. And the panda destroys things at first bc as she is getting hormonal for the first time she doesn’t quite know how to regulate her emotions yet.

[@Aphelion.s_Abyss]

You understand it well

[@nikkijadesola23]

Mei and her mom’s pandas are so big because of the amount of emotions they kept repressed. So happy you guys watched this! 💕

[@moneylover318]

Except her panda was always that big

[@nikkijadesola23]

@@moneylover318 yeah cuz she always repressed her emotions

[@moneylover318]

​@nikkijadesola23 there is a new theory that she was a late bloomer when she was a teenager. Thus, her panda is that big. While everyone else had their pandas at an earlier age

[@Twinkler205]

I don't think it's necessarily about periods specifically but puberty in general and the hormonal emotional and bodily changes everyone goes through

This movie is based in Canada, I think toronto. As a half filipino myself I can say it's pretty accurate, the parenting n culture being raised by an asain parent n meeting expectations while also being perfect.

[@magnapinnagal]

The Red Panda is literally a Defense Mechanism, not a metaphor for periods. Puberty is the time where hormones are all time high, so any strong emotions releases the panda as to not feel vulnerable. Her friends represent a safe space. Also no, the message is not "just calm down", but "it's ok to feel a certain way, you should feel safe being who you are"

[@kawaii_nyan]

I’m pretty confident it’s not about periods (just puberty overall maybe) and somebody just said that it was and people took that and ran a mile with it. Could be wrong though. Love your guys’ vids btw

[@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou]

wasn't it confirmed by the director herself? During "making red" or whatever it was called, its also on disney+ edit: never mind, yeah, it's called embrace the panda: making turning and the director herself in her exact words were "it was a metaphor for magical puberty. Just seeing this girl who thought she had everything under control suddenly big, and hairy and smelly and an emotional wreck" and then another woman, maybe the animator says "this panda is incredibly cute. It's also true to the fact that time in a girl's life. In some ways its also the worst time. You're not a kid, but you're also not an adult" are their words. So it's definitely about puberty/period and adolescence, hence the literal description of the movie.

[@kaivonnix1100]

no. it was def about periods and puberty. i think the director even confirmed it

[@kawaii_nyan]

@@kaivonnix1100 ok thanks

[@phoenixwing5133]

Part of it, in my opinion at least, is about periods and normalizing talking about it (this also goes for puberty in general). So many young girls out there are barely taught about their own bodies, I being one of them. I remember when I was in 7th grade and got my period for the first time. I had a panic attack in my room. I remembered a few things they had said in health class about how to put on a pad and stuff but that's all we really got when it came to information on what to do. I didn't tell anyone because I was freaked out and embarrassed. That entire day at school was full of scary surprises and a lot of pain because apparently my body just wants to kill me 24/7. Imagine being able to do schoolwork lmfao couldn't be me. Anyways, my point here is that I would have loved to have a movie like this when I was around that age. It would have made me feel less alone in the situation because that was the scariest part for me. Being alone in a new situation like that was mmmm

[@marz9172]

The mom literally gave her pads, no one ran with anything

[@hayleysimon2673]

I feel like y'all probably should've watched this with a girl so she could explain the accuracy of it all lol but overall really funny reaction!

[@lilchubbers]

I have mixed emotions abt these guys. SOMETIMES they can be funny but then they take things wayyy too literal and it doesn't make anything funny, just makes them sound dumb ....respectfully

[@imaniMoMo]

Especially when they make the movie about being horny and they know that Mei Mei is 13.

[@lexwithluvs]

like its odd

[@aliciabergman1252]

Yeah they can be pretty hit or miss for me too. I feel like a lot of the "ignorance" around this movie specifically is really apparent after seing a reaction by The Movie Budz, and it shows it´s not about being guys not knowing "womenly things".

[@thewickedjoker]

exactly what i was thinking, i started watching their channel two weeks ago and like you said it’s sometimes too much that i don’t even enjoy the joke

[@sahanaashvin1573]

the red panda does not (only) represent her period lmao

[@tyreek.6815]

This is literally the best way to put it. Periods aren’t just “periods” it’s like any other teenager growing up with hormones. As this is just a thing women have to go through. Which is why I think made them confused on the point.

[@xocerena]

Story: My highschool was combined with a middle school campus, last year I was senior class vice president and was in charge of planning the middle school's movie night. One of my tasks was to find a good movie so I offered Turning Red because it was a new coming of age Disney movie. It got rejected, because a teacher said it was too "adult".

[@alejandracampos1514]

I love when men discover we’re into mythical creatures 😂

[@birdgurl6075]

I think that the act of remaining calm to get rid of the panda is representative of how much Mei Mei is expected to logic or rationalize her way out of situations that are kind of too big for a kid to handle. Also, when your body is changing, you want to not show any emotion because everything feels awkward and obvious and shrinking into the background feels much better. Also, Ming's panda was extra huge (I think) because she had the burden of two very different worlds put on her.

[@healthhappiness5507]

This movie is not about getting your period. it's about family legacy for the females in a family and deciding and excepting who you are.

[@nfaiqah9742]

so, this is what you guys (white people) don't get. the classic asian family dynamic, yes it is borderline emotional abuse but it is generational trauma so someone in the legacy needs to break that cycle - in this case, it's Mei Mei. As an asian woman growing up in a conservative household, this movie is dear to me.

[@nfaiqah9742]

this movie is NOT about period, it's about generational trauma in asian household that needs to be fixed. You guys probably didn't understand bcs you guys are white and ✨men✨

[@a.g.demada5263]

@@nfaiqah9742 the panda is a metaphor of period

[@nfaiqah9742]

@@a.g.demada5263 nope.. The panda symbolizes the pent up emotions of asian children living in conservative asian household. That's why the panda size is different for everyone and mother's panda is biggest bcs she too faced worse experience than what MeiMei went through but she also did it to MeiMei which shows generational trauma.

[@fredericksaxton9782]

@@nfaiqah9742 No it's confirmed to symbolize puberty and the bigger your panda the more repressed emotions you have. The mother's large panda was CAUSED by the things she dealt with, but it's not the effect. The cause is her trauma, the effect is her insanely repressed emotions and large size. It also is mixed with the idea of periods, because periods are literally conjoined with puberty. "I'm a gross red monster!" (Mentions pads twice) "Red is a lucky colour." I understand the entire underlying story is about the generational trauma of Asian families, but the panda is not SPECIFICALLY that, it's a symbol for puberty in general.

[@YuhGetitIguess-jd8ej]

Yeah cuz white people aren't conservative and don't have generational trauma

[@casluvs]

I’m white so I can’t relate to this movie entirely but I was a little girl who grew up with parents who came from Mexico, and they never bothered to teach me Spanish, nor teach me aspects of our culture, so I felt really lost growing up. Also, Latin American parents show love in ways other than using words, like American parents for instance. I could also relate to the period thingy. It’s a great movie. Obviously it’s a move especially for Asian girls, but I can’t lie, I think most girls who grew up with parents like that can relate to a certain extent.

[@a.g.demada5263]

This movie is also about girls' puberty and period and I appreciated that because my little sister had hers at 9 so it can help young girls to understand

[@goldensuzaku]

"Woman are not calm during periods" It's true. I had to go on medication because of how bad my mood swings were. Crying and angry all the time during it sucks. And you know it's because of the period but you can't STOP.

[@elistari1050]

You'll find so many men use the whole "Women use men's emotions against them" thing, but then those same men will use women's periods and emotions against them as a reason why women are "inferior" or "beneath men".

[@a.g.demada5263]

Me, I don't have mood swing but I'm always tired the day before my first period day and I have dolors

[@madeleinereads]

OMG, I love Turning Red! Turning Red is the first Disney/Pixar movie focusing on adolescence, puberty, and even periods. Periods are still stigmatized today, and it's sad. I liked Turning Red because I have never seen ANY kids' content where they normalize menstruation, let alone hint at it. The first kids' film to feature sanitary products! I was so glad to see Pixar pop that stigma bubble! I like the scene where Mei's mom thought Mei was getting her period; how she told Mei that it was expected, that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and that she tried to give her everything she needed to get through it. It's still something that no one talks about, and people think it's inappropriate, but we should talk about it because it's part of our everyday lives and crucial to the health of people who experience it. This movie can help parents start conversations with their kids. I wish Turning Red had come out when I was a teenager. I never understood the controversy around this movie. Some people are saying that this movie was awkward, but that was the WHOLE POINT of the film. Puberty/adolescence itself is uncomfortable and cringy. In my opinion, this movie was a great way to show the emotional rollercoasters teens go through. Fun Fact: Turning Red is also the first Pixar film in the company's 36-year history to be solo-directed by a woman (Domee Shi, the same director who did the short "Bao"). And there was an all-female creative team. Finally!!! Also, That scene where Mei's mom is hiding behind the tree also happened to the director Domee Shi in real life. In a featurette, Domee Shi said it was her first day of middle school, and she had just made a new group of friends. One of her new friends said, "Who's that lady behind the tree?" Domee Shi looked over and saw that her mom was wearing sunglasses. 😮

[@zinhlenkosi65]

i literally just said where's nick and cory and then you showed up. so happy i know its gonna be good video🥰🥰🥰

[@robertscott1949]

Your mistake was taking one single aspect of the transformation - Mei LIn's emerging interest in boys - and deciding early on that it had to be the only metaphor that explains everything. In fact the transformation is about that and everything else that comes with adolescence, including independence from parents, periods, and confusing emotions, which you might have seen if you handn't prematurely locked in your guess about the subject.

[@tiago9977]

37:40 the scene w/ Mei's mum in the forest reminds me of ParaNorman

[@jmlvr123]

[@kaspas5511]

i still dont think its a metaphor for periods fully- they literally ask if its her period and its not, and saying everyones period causes really bad anger is just not true- i will say yes its like a allegory but i feel less bc of these reasons. the only thing besides it literally being red, the only thing i really related to with it is that periods are a curse for majority of your life. it is a good movie to introduce periods to kids tho i will say! its just if it was a reference to periods why have the period joke-

This was also her favorite movie I'm thinking it's Red Panda. This Movie for me is so cute and funny and friendship. My Favorite Part they want to see 4 -Town Concert they get so excited it's reminds me back in the days when I'm excited Backstreet Boys and NYSNC came out age of 10 years old in the 2000s.

I'm also into Britney Spears when I'm into Pop Music. 2000s got me into Music all together with Pop R&B Rock Rap (Hip Hop) I'm born in the 90s I'm growing up listening to 90s music and 2000s plus My Brother got me into 80s music he born in the 80s.
