"Hated for being too realistic." Sadly that's become all too common. Being realistic is really Pixar's *thing.*

The movie, I feel, also gets a lot of hate because it is SO GOOD at capturing the female preteen experience. People have always made fun of girls for their interests, always. Nothing that has a majority female audience is considered good by most. It resonated with me so much because it perfectly encapsulated both the growing up female experience and having toxic and strict parents that you still love and hope for their approval. It validated so many of my feelings and I cried so much watching it, even just looking at the bamboo forest scene here made me tear up again. Thank you KC for giving this movie a try, and thank you for using your voice to shed a spotlight on it❤

[@kurdishpotato]

the bamboo forest scene in the video here made me cry again too 😭even though he was explaining things in a funny way. but the memories. i also cried so much watching this movie. i was surprised that it even had this much hate, i hadn't really checked out the ratings and i just watched it because i have very good experience with pixar movies. (if you haven't already, i'd suggest to watch pixar's "soul" and "inside out" - both amazing movies) anyway there may have been a few moments where it can be seen as "cringe" by some, but i mean, that's kind of normal especially during preteen years. i think it made it actually even better and more realistic because we all probably went through some "cringey" things in those years. life is never all glamorous and graceful in every moment, especially as a kid. her relationship with her parents was the thing that was most relatable to me though, even tho i am not east asian i'm west asian/middle eastern (kurdish) but we also have similar dynamics and often controlling parents. i love that the film was made and gave voice to a lot of our childhood traumas 😔😢

As an asian-american senior that's being forced into medical school but just wants to be an animator and storyboard director, I started tearing up at 10:01. This movie and analysis was relatable in so many ways, I wasn't expecting this video to hit hard. Edit: I began to prove to my parents that I do have some skill in the art industry. I began selling handmade anime merch and they've been earning me lots of profit. I showed that I have the potential to survive w/o an elite degree, and they're starting to approve of me ^^ thanks everyone in the comments :) (also I am a girl)

I cant believe it was ranked as one the top 5 worst movies. This movie was very realistic in showcasing the struggles of Asian children and truing to live up to their parents visions, the red panda being the ugly side of themselves, which the parnets wish to get rid of. The movies aim here was to show that the aspects of oneself is nothing to be ashamed of as its perfeclty normal. Having periods isnt gross or weird, its perfectly normal for teens and women to go through and is a sign of maturity as well.

[@aryanarjun3260]

its too feminist so low relatability to men also the refrence of korean boy bands also made a huge impat as they are widely hated by men. the ranking is done majorly by men so thts why its ranked that way. me personally also think its very bad as it shows rebellious behavior especially during the end with that gyrating and all(i'm a male too)

[@mikuisbetterthenyourmom]

​@aryanarjun3260 I mean..it's from the pov of a 13 year old and the friend group full other girls. Also I don't think it's suppose to be a feminist movie.The movie shows that mei wasn't happy with only showing the half baked side of her to her parents knowing that her mom would never accept it(in which me and a lot of other asian people relate to) just because the movie wasn't relatable doesn't mean it was bad. Yes the movie is feminine touching a lot of girly topics like periods. But I feel like calling it a "feminist movie" is kinda missing the point. It's supposed to show the asian kids who'll always chase after their parents validation and acceptance.

I don’t come from an Asian background but I still really enjoyed the movie. I think people who were claiming it was too “mature” or “inappropriate” for kids need to re-examine childhood development, your point about it fitting girls at their age was spot on. Also the kaiju fight was awesome

As a teen girl, it was pretty mature. It was said to be appropriate for really young kids but I personally disagree. 1. Those young kids may learn to start disrespecting their parents. 2. It had words like “sexy” and I don’t think that should be something a child repeats. 3. Overall the message was more 10+ and I feel like 9 and under should not watch it.

This is one of my favorite movies in the past few years. I relate to Mei so much. I grew up being really into Jpop boy bands and my parents thought it was the weirdest thing ever. I was bullied at school and felt like a total freak and was depressed. I finally found some friends who liked me for me and who enjoyed similar things to me. I ended up going to local anime cons, etc. and eventually studied abroad in Japan and felt so normal and safe for the first time. I also experienced a lot of trauma as a kid from my parents, who had a lot of trauma when they were younger. It was really emotional seeing the ending of this movie - I’m so glad Mei’s mom realized how harsh she was being and started to love her daughter in a less controlling way, but I never got that, and now I’m 33. This movie is so cute and fun and depicts friendship and childhood so realistically yet in a comforting way. And the animation style is amazing. I love everything about it ❤ and your commentary was hilarious 😂

[@dxterwolf]

As a non-asian i still really liked the film cause i used to be obsessed with kpop and i also put my friend on it because they were kpop fans and it was relatable.

I completely agree with you, it shouldn't have been ranked as one of the worse Pixar films out there. Turning Red is wildly underrated and definitely made me nostalgic about my cringey pre-teen phase. I wish there were more movies that highlighted what its like to go through puberty as a girl, I don't think that its too "mature" or "adult" as some think it is. Its the right amount and developmentally appropriate for that age group that is going through that part of their life. And its just really funny. As well as it promotes a strong message of family and wanting to be accepted by family. It also highlights toxic parenting and how that cycle can end when you're honest and live for yourself. Instead of living for the constant approval of others.

See what’s fascinating to me is that it’s SUPER RELATABLE. I’m not Asian, I’m white, (parents are Italian/Irish) and although they had their fair share of struggles with their family, that generational expectations never bled down to me. And what I loved about this movie is that, no I’m not Asian, but expectations placed on kids can happen to ANY KID, and even if I’m not exactly like Mei, I still related to the era and what it was like as a prepubescent because any young girl, and even boy can relate to that side of their childhood. The change from kid to adult which is your teen years. It was a fantastic movie that deserved way more than it was given. It was a truly nostalgic movie that I wouldn’t have expected to be nostalgic.

You, sir, are correct. This film accurately portrayed life as a young teen (13-14) with the exception of strict parents which I did not have (I’m white American), and when I first watched this (coincidentally, I was in eight grade when this came out), I found a lot of relatable experiences due in part to emotion. Apart from the animation style, I don’t get why this film is underrated. It is amazing in the entire story structure. Thank you for reviewing this film. CGI animation, and animation in general, is not just for people between the ages of 3 and 9. It can be for everyone, and this story truly is one great example. (Would you look at that!

while the video is one of my personal favorites and funniest "explained by an Asian", I love the moment he explained how understandable and relatable the movie is for him and most Asians and I'm so glad he chose to continue KZbin because these videos make me feel so much better when I watch them. Gotta love Korean Comic

As a child of immigrant parents, I too feel resonated in this movie. Im Mexican, and I oftentimes have the feeling of always having to please my parents just to feel worthy of their life. I definitely enjoy this movie ❤️ and it's surprising how it's low rated.

[@YOYLEBEANS]

The transition from man voice to asian voice KILLS ME

[@oogabooga-pg9ct]

this movie legit made me cry cos for once, a movie actually showed something that hits extremely close to home...especially as an asian Canadian with and strict immigrant filipino mom

[@charles_capet321]

11:26 this part made me cry so hard, especially the part where u see her mom growing up😭

[@kurdishpotato]

me too 😭it even made me cry again when he just showed the clip in this video

[@ellerosney]

honestly my grandmother never actually said "I love you" to my mom and like a lot of Asians, she had always been very strict to her, like you said, it's a cycle because the same things happened between my grandmother and her mother (and it's even worse), and since my mom married my European dad and also turned Christian, it somehow broke the cycle which is why my mom is different, supports me, and is closer to me

[@gwenmloveskpopcecmore]

Omg that’s amazing ❤ my friends who also half Korean half Chinese parents also broke the cycle. All of their Asian peers have been envious of them cuz their parents are strict yet chill

The "Notebook Scene" is so strong, I somehow kept hoping it wouldn't happen literally every time I rewatch. (although, a small part of me is pretty intrigued by what Mei and Devon's relationship is gonna be then on. Especially since he didn't laugh at her with the other boys.)

[@Stranger-oj1qb]

I agree with you. I was genuinely crying by the end. It encapsulates every emotion (give or take) that asian kids feel

[@ananyasingh3197]

8:38 I can relate to that part sometimes Asian parents completely blame it all on your closest friends which damages our friendships and even if take a stand for our friends its pointless because then they will blame them more for making us go against our parents(which is seriously an exaggeration😭) They just won't like us having friends and a life outside of the world they think is perfect for us but still dislike if we don't have friends at all. Their series of comparing us with others never ends I guess. Sometimes I feel maybe even they don't know what they really want us to do. They want this picture perfect life for us with everything going as planned but that isn't how it goes for the most of us. So why keep these unrealistic expectations as standard in the first place, guess I'll never understand.

Asian friends can’t relate but their Asian peers can

[@jamalhartley5863]

Speaking as a non asian but being officially adopted by my asian friends into the culture lol, its tough on the friend's side to. Ive found some of my closests friends were Asian because they were just being their authentic selves in the brief moments i had with them. Also very excited to share their culture and history. So it puts a non asian in a tough spot of understanding but not understanding. It can turn victim blamey really quick with a non Asian. Thankfully I didn't and hold out hope at seeing my old friends again.

[@randomyoutubechannel14]

That was too damn long for me to read so from the five seconds of reading the first five sentences I think it says that Asian parents are strict and they kind of damage fucking everything

7:30 Disney really did their research on Toronto. This was most likely the 2002 TTC Metropass that costed a whopping $93.50 per month.

[@to_ur_heart]

I loved turning red then it came out. I am not Asian, but I had strict Latina parents. I related to Mei Mei so much, I think the panda resemblance was a smart move. This movie was hugely underrated and I still absolutely love it. P.S: Saying it’s “too mature” considering every teen girl was watching Twilight in 2013. And ya know, there was talk about sex, violence and alcohol 💀💀💀

[@nilawright5953]

Literally. I think they forget what even preteen kids get into. Especially these days the internet is wayyy too open. You can’t just sweep it under the rug and hope it will go away. And this clearly wasn’t a movie meant for kids younger than like 10.

This movie was great thank u for giving it the love it deserves!
