You immediately gained my respect for not being one of those dudes who “can’t enjoy” or bash this movie for supposedly not being able to “relate” to it or find it “cringe” just because the cast is mainly teenage girls and women, but instead openly enjoying it and showing emotion, too. Especially as you said you judged it at first but still gave it a chance! It’s embarrassing that men who hate on the movie probably think they have such macho energy but it’s actually guys like you who are the ones who appear the most confident and secure in their masculinity, which is super dope 👍

Not every movie has to be meant for you. And you’re absolutely correct. It takes a special kind of insecurity or some kind of deep hatred for women to feel personally offended by anything with a more female bias. I think the saddest part is probably how I’ve seen guys who defend movies like this or openly support similar things get called panderers and “simps” and what not by other men. You just can’t win.

This movie is ridiculously accurate to the experience growing up as a second gen kid of an Asian immigrant and I bawled multiple times throughout the film because of how incredibly relatable it was. Watching this was honestly one of the most cathartic experiences I've ever had as a moviegoer and I'm honestly deeply grateful that it exists because I never thought I would be able to explain the more difficult aspects of my upbringing to people without the same experience. Thanks to this movie, I now feel like I can, and in a way I think it helped me deal with some tough aspects of my emotional healing journey that I wasn't fully able to before. The scene where Mei Lin leads the child version of her mother through the forest so her mom can finally "grow up" and become the mother she needed to be is literally the best part of the movie and imo the best visual/onscreen representation of generational trauma I have ever seen, I'd argue even better than Encanto's depiction of it (although that's probably a matter of personal opinion and depends on which film you relate more to based on the specificity of your own life experiences). The concept portrayed is actually backed up by a lot of current trauma research/therapy techniques - the idea that someone who undergoes some kind of emotional trauma in childhood gets "stuck" psychologically at that age and in some ways never fully matures unless they are able to heal and move beyond the trauma. Mei Lin's mother was a damaged child piloting an adult body...attempting to parent another child. That was why she passed on the cycle of the same behavior that her mother displayed towards her despite ironically recognizing on some level how terrifying her own mother's behavior actually was. Until that "growing up" scene, she lacked the self awareness to realize that she was repeating the same behavior and damaging her own daughter the way her mother had damaged her. It was only after going through that process of healing that she could move on, truly grow past the damaged child who had gotten stuck, and become the mother Mei Lin needed her to be. I've worked on this kind of thing in therapy sessions before and the accuracy of how it was depicted in this movie is absolutely astounding. Tbh this movie is brilliant and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves

This was SUCH an accurate depiction of the Asian immigrant kid experience, and especially the experience of a young teen trying to clumsily figure things out about herself and the world. The deptiction of healing intergenerational trauma was masterful. What I love is that this movie so clearly shows that there was no one right way to be and no one choice that was empowering for everyone. The best choice for Mei to be true to herself was to keep the panda, but the best choice for Ming to be true to herself was to transform it, because they were both very different people with very different pandas. For Mei, her panda was a source of happiness and expression and fun and authenticity, but for Ming, her panda was a source of trauma and pain and made her LESS authentically herself and who she wanted to be. And I'm so glad the moral of the story wasn't that "they all just needed to learn to love and accept their pandas and let them out." Because while that was demonstrably the right choice for Mei, it was demonstrably the wrong choice for Ming. Even Sun Yee presented all of them with the choice, and behaved lovingly towards all of them, whatever they chose, without judgement or disappointment - she held the portal letting them transform their pandas if they wanted to, and flew with Mei when Mei chose to keep hers - she helped ALL of them in their choices. And what I love is that Ming DID learn to love her panda, when she was able to take the choice to transform her panda into something that couldn't hurt or traumatize her anymore, so she got to be herself and love on her panda in the tamogotchi, rather than suppress and ignore it. It doesn't make Ming fake or wrong or "not accepting/loving herself" or not being authentic, and I'm so happy that both choices were presented as equally valid and empowering when they truly were made as each individual's CHOICE, and not forced or expected. Ming's first panda transformation was suppression due to expectations, and after she healed from her trauma, she was able to transform her panda the second time into something she could acknowledge and love. Keeping the panda out wasn't the right choice for her to be able to love it, transforming it in a non-suppressive way was how she could be her authentic self and love her tamogotchi-panda, and that's okay. It's so important to me that this movie shows that making the empowering choices that are true to yourself and allow you to be your true self may be opposite choices to the people around you, including the people you love. By the very end, both Mei and Ming respect each other's choices, are not judgemental or disappointed, and recognize that their way wasn't the only right one. The right choice for one person may be completely opposite from LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE and that is okay, and making the "expected" or "societally approved" choice doesn't mean you are any less authentically yourself than the person who is breaking the mold, if that choice is truly authentic to you.

The red panda designs of Mei and her family are adorable. also, one of the little things that I saw someone point out is the gag with the body odor--red pandas, apparently, have very strong scent glands irl. Kind of a neat little factoid that they slipped into the story, as it's both an allegory to people developing BO and a fact about red pandas.

The reason why Pixar, and in more recent years Disney Animation, have been consistently good. Pixar has something they call The Brain Trust, where it's basically test screening for their employees while they're developing their films and give the employees an opportunity to give notes. For example, in the original Toy Story, Woody was full on a bully in early drafts. But because of the Brain Trust, they recognized this and made the change. They started this at Disney Animation as well after, I wanna say, Ed Catmull took over. If you wanna read more, I highly suggest Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull. It's basically a full history of Pixar and how to be a good manager in one book.

I still feel like a teen sometimes inside if that makes sense. I was obsessed with N'sync and BSB and 98 Degrees lol, all the boy bands...this movie reminded me so much of those days.

I know we talk about boys and puberty, but man, there is nothing as intense as the fantasy crush of a teenage girl. Nothing.

I had friends growing up but my parents didn’t let me out that much. All my childhood friends were fake, But in high school I found 2 of the greatest ppl. Also I’m besties with my cousins. I have everything I need. Growing up in a Asian household it is hard to be “free” and independent. Most Asian parents are very strict and close minded ppl. I understand why and I’m not mad about anything. They shaped me into a beautiful and strong women.

EASTER EGGS! (From what I've seen so far at least) 1) 7:32 The boy's shirt has the logo of one of the bands from Coco. You can see it on the drums a scene from when they're in the Land of The Dead. 2) 19:14 Pizza planet delivery car on the right. You can see this car in almost every Pixar film.

This is the film I wished I had when I grew up. In a way, I feel so connected to Mei Lin. I was a very studious person (not academically prodigy smart, but enough to please my parents and my teachers) in my teens and very introverted. My parents are great people, they are kind and loving but I always felt this barrier that I could never open up emotionally to my parents. This is because I knew how much they worked so hard and sacrificed to get my brother and I a better life and better education. So I stayed silent and bottled my feelings to protect theirs because in my mind, they are suffering more than me…if that makes sense. But now I’m feeling the repercussions in my adulthood. I tend to mask my feelings and had to build my emotional resilience as a young adult. I had to rewire my thinking to express myself and that it’s okay to feel vulnerable. I’m still not at the stage to feel comfortable enough to open up to my parents but I’m still grateful that they’ll always love me.

24:10 This hits, thanks. I was raised Catholic but felt so lost in college. I became a Christian in May 2022 and my family doesnt approve. I know they love me but it hurts when they talk bad about my church family and what they are about.

here is an easter egg I found for ya! the young boy with the emo black hair Mei was crushing on had a "Escapula" shirt. "Escapula" is the same metal band shown in the movie coco, during the music contest!

When I was thirteen/fourteen my girlfriends and I would go to the Used CD store and buy the silliest CDs. One day when one of my friends was sad, the other girl and I turned on the music and danced around the room serenading her and making her dance until we were all sweaty and laughing! I'm forty years old now, and I love them wherever they are!

The bit where her mom shows the art to the public is the teenage equivalent of Murphy getting gunned down at the start of Robocop. Justifies the rest of the film.

I totally agree with you bro... what ever it is, family first! Especially mom and dad who cares about you. I also cried bro, because we all related to that... that proved us as human! for me, i grew up without my mom who pass away when I was three years old.
