Turning Red

[Troj]

Also, every line from Abby was comedy gold.

It's also validating and fun to see a mainstream animated family film accurately portray pubescent crushes in all of their cringy, awkward, horny glory, as well as acknowledge the existence of fanfiction and fan-art.

I just want cute SFW art of Mei navigating human life as a giant red panda why is this so hard to find!? T_T
Curse you horny furries, make me more cute things.

Side topic: Has anyone noticed that after Zootopia's success more and more anthro-movies are being made? The Bad Guys, Turning Red, etc.
I'm pretty happy to have more anthro movies, we haven't really had any since ye olden disney days with Robin Hood. They're always a treat to watch.

I'd love to see a picture of Mei looking at or holding a real red panda. Either her human form or red panda form.

Get on this boiz!

 

[Schrodinger'sMeerkat]

Looks hella overrated. Do Furries flock to ANYTHING anthro like braindead moths to a light?

It was. I didn't like it. I wanted Mei to embrace being a red panda and then run away to live with them. Never could relate to nerdy little tween girls anyway.

Didn't get to finish it, but holy SHIT this movie is hilarious.
Priya was -killing- me.

I loved the film and found it engaging, funny, and open. I found the kerfuffle over periods being talked about silly. Girls have period; as crazy as it is, some as young as 8!. Girls need to be shown a period is a normal part of growing up and puberty. It was good to see pads and stuff for cramps mentioned. Periods are normal, all girls need not be ashamed. Mei was not being gross having a fantasy and drawings about guys. Hormones exist people! It was tasteful and funny! I love how Mei has a diverse and supportive group of friends (Abby is my fav, the little nutter). I like that the film focused on family and friends which are the two main areas for a young teen. I like it showed that Mei’s mother was not evil, just stressed and worried that adolescence would have her lose Mei. I loved the family dynamic showing how expecting too much can make a person bottle emotions until that becomes a monster. I loved seeing a loving involved dad who encouraged his daughter to be herself.

Honestly I think it's one of Pixar's best films. I adore Mei

Man, this movie was a sleeper hit for me. It was so very good. It was refreshing to see a film depict the awkward stages of growing up, the weird fandoms, and the need to please the mom while maintaining a rather loving relationship. I like how the family dynamic is not necessarily cruel, but has its own issues that come to light and are acknowledged. I related to this movie more than Encanto with how it represented the matriarch structure. Shit, there was a line from Mei's mom at the end that my own mother said to me (literal quote) and I about blubbered like a fish.

Has anyone seen Mr. Enter's review of the movie? Because YouTube has been going to town on him for criticizing the lack of impact 9/11 had on the effects of the movie. (Meh, personally I think it's a little overblown, and the dude has done far worse than that.)

This movie isn't appropriate for children though.

to be fair,zootopia was straight up made for furries: they actually went to sites like this and asked people about furry shit so they could get the details right.

 

[TyraWadman]

Just finished watching it. Loved it!

Boybands? Check
Writing fanfic and trying to hide it from mom? Check
Being told that your hobbies/interests are interfering with your studies/future success? Check
Defying family traditions and being happier because of it? Check

The only thing unrelatable is the supportive friend group but it was awesome to see! I loved the 2d-like effects they had with the eyes.

Ah, I see. Clearly it must be true then!
I was a fool to doubt the interwebs.

hey,i know it happened: it was talked about a lot back when the movie first came out. i just can't find anything on it now (and also can't be fucked to look super hard anyway).

I don't think you'd lie about something you saw, I'm just joshin' ya because it's a trope regarding internet info.

Are we all forgetting that turning red was the second furry movie in a row by Pixar?
We all remember when Pixar went scalie with Luca, right?

I think Luca deserved more attention than it got, it was a wonderful transformation fantasy.

sure as hell beat "soul",that's for sure. that's right: i said it.

And probably way better than Lightyear's probably going to be.

...I know it's not out yet, but I've never been more disinterested in a Pixar movie. It just looks like a generic humans fight aliens plot. At least Soul, while kinda boring IMO, had an endearing and creative plot IMO.

it's buzz lightyear: humans VS aliens is his entire thing just like any other retro style space man. this is the movie that the toy is based off of so we already know most of what happens based on toy buzz (as well as the TV series) and buzz is supposed to be just your basic space man doing basic space man things.

as for soul,i didn't find it endearing or creative in the least: just pretentious and a very obvious look at how pixar can't do deep and/or philosophical by showing just how shallow they are. like,we're supposed to feel bad for the main character because he never got to be a jazz player and spent years crying about it and when they give us a example of what a "lost soul" looks like,what we get is some dude that hates his job. like,THAT was the what they they could come up with when looking for something that's so soul crushing that you're basically dead. i can think of a MILLION things worse than being stuck in a dead end job or not getting your dreams yet i'm supposed to feel BAD for these people? again,it really shows just how shallow the people at pixar actually are and why they should stick with what they know (colorfully whimsical movies about the secret life of various things) because they're not deep enough to be talking about serious topics like the afterlife,what exactly a soul is or things that can kill you on the inside. that's why i was THRILLED when i saw the trailer for luca: it was pixar returning to proper form where things are colorful,whimsical and are emotional but not trying to be too serious. THAT is what pixar is good at and that's what they should stick to so we can avoid another trainwreck like soul.

anyway,thus ends my rant about the movie soul.XD
