I finally caught up wit Domee Shi's TURNING RED. The film is a the story of a young woman who has hit puberty and now turns into a gian red panda.
Just like Shi's Oscar winning BAO, TURNING RED is a masterpiece. A beautiful portrait of coming of age that echoes to everyone and not just young women or people of Chinese ancestory. Watching the film, this older european guy toltally related to what I was seeing on screen.
Make no mistake Domee Shi is one of the best people working in animation today. That she has made to deeply personal, maginicently glorious films at the House of Mouse is stunning. Disney doesn't want films like this. That the film is considered a misfire by the studio is a huge error on their part since they were the ones who botched the release and getting word out.
This is a great film. It's one of the absolute best animated film to come out of the big American studios in the last 25 years.
Highly recommended- this is what movies are supposed to do.
