The animation itself is nicely done, direction is fine, the music's really solid.
Narratively found it very lacking. Tonally the more manic/comedic focused first half of the film doesn't mesh well with the serious moments they have. Add to that I didn't find the comedy funny it was almost unbearable to watch, There's too much good to say it's terrible but I'd unironically rather watch any of the Cars movies over watching this again.
4/10
This is pixar's least focused title, and I hate that there's an excuse of >oh well its meant for little asian girls, not for men
It doesn't matter. The story is bland, and forgettable and the theme of growing up and maturing to show your true self is obscured by its mythos and premise.
To date this is probably the most misguided pixar film since brave.
Pixar should've just made this movie a slice of life about canadian life as an asian girl.
It's good. Turning Red is nowhere near Pixar's best, but it's inoffensive and made me care about the characters, which is more than I can say about everything released around it.
won't watch/10
grubhub art style, and you need to be part of a specific demographic to be able to enjoy it (tip: it's not "asian women" as some may believe)
>Didn't like it because it's targeted at girls
Does this really happen? Most white adult males I know love Disney Princess movies and other cartoons with female MCs.
I rate it as a very inappropriate for kids. Can't believe this somehow got a PG rating instead of PG-13. I wanted to show it to my class as one of our last week of school movies, but glad I prescreened it to see it mentions sexual stuff. Yikes
Oh me go doo doo real good like a big boy should oh yes rubbing a red panda stuffed animal all around my dirty shithole until the fur gets all crusty and matted then throwing it to a gang of orphans and watching them lick the shit off until the one who licks the most shit gets adopted by me.
It's one of the most annoying animated films. I love coming of age stories, this was the worst way to do one. Don't even bother to make them likeable, because at this point its all about "if you're annoying be annoying, be who you are! it's quirky! it's fun! it's real which means it's obviously not obnoxious to watch for an hour! this is ME! accept it!!!"

the CalArts style is trash and will always be trash, but I thought the story was solid enough and Mei's panda form is cute and her mom's panda form is super fricking hot
It's like a low-B/high-C compared to the rest of Pixar's catalog. It's not utterly pointless like The Good Dinosaur or Onward, but it's nowhere near top-tier. It's an animated movie about down-to-Earth character drama told with a (mostly) overly cartoonish, one-dimensional cast. There are a few exceptions, but the drama never hits as hard because I can only emphasize up to a point. That said I appreciate the energy, it doesn't always land but it's better than watching a boring slog like Lightyear. It's fine, kinda like Luca.
Actually loved the fabric/ materials modeling and rendering, backgrounds, sets and lighting. Maybe top 5 in those?
The kids, characterizations, and everything that went down in the second half was slobbering shota/e-girl bait. I’m betting 2 of the 5 billion streamed minutes of this show was being rewound and paused while fapfest ensued
I liked it but the fact it took place in 2002 was just stupid
>movie takes place in 2002 >dad in the grub hub ad kinda looks like Tyler's dad >grub hub ad came out in 2020 >Tyler could've had a kid sometimes in the 2010s since he was an adult since the late 2000s
Tyler is the grub hub dad.
Going in I didn't expect to like it, and it started out kind of cringe, but it grew on me a lot. Overall I'd say it was pretty good. Expressive visual styles, lots of entertaining scenes, good semi-antagonist.
I thought Soul, Luca, and Turning Red were all good. Pixar can still recover from Lightyear/Elemental, hopefully Elio is at least decent.
It's pretty good. It'd be great if it didn't have the boring chunk of raising money.
And the environmental work on this flick is quite honestly second to none in Pixar+Disney 3D. The city, the store, the house, etc etc are all meticulously detailed.
It felt like they stitched several movies together. It can't decide what the Panda represents. >not everything is a metaphor/allegory
The Panda IS a metaphor/allegory.
I'd say an 8 out of 10. I honestly liked the movie. Animation was fine. The story was fine. I gather that it was aimed towards little girls and I am not a little girl so it wasn't the normal fair for me but I honestly don't see what made it a particularly bad movie to some people.
>Rating 6/10
Not a failure of a movie but deeply uninteresting to me. Came across as very awkward in some scenes and the narrative is pretty shit. Even though I was around the same age as the main character during that time period I feel like I couldn't identify with much. Probably because I am a man that grew up in a rural area at that time. I would frick the mom though.
Can't believe Cars 2 will not only leave the basement of Pixar films but might actually end up being a middling movie in their library considering all the trash Pixar has been throwing out including this piece of shit.
The scenes with the girls and the red panda remind me too much about that movie where a teenager girl switches bodies with Rob Schneider, there is like one scene where she takes her pants of and the girls play with Rob Schneider's dick I don't remember the name of the movie tho but that's part of the reason I don't watch this movie a lot.
It was still okay tho ig
Pretty sure this is the only Disney or Pixar movie that outright says the word sex/sexy in it, so yeah. Of course there's a lot of sexual implication stuff in the other movies but they don't outright say it... pretty crazy thing to do in a PG movie honestly. The outright drug mention as well
>movie lazily merges its metaphors together, thereby implying quite noticeably that it's fine for a child to prostitute themselves out and parents should somehow allow this >you're supposed to just ignore this obvious problem with the writing, instead of expecting a better constructed narrative
Turning Red is like a weird mix of FLCL and Luca but what if it was shitty? What if we took all the positive qualities of those two things and made them fricking terrible instead?
Maybe women find this stuff relatable because they just care about muh feels instead of an actual story, but it makes for stories that aren't just bad, but now seem to be actively harmful to children.
Also the artstyle is hideous. Luca was trying to copy Aardman so it had an excuse, this one does not.
The USSR is in flames. Stalin's glorious vision for homosexual Sovieticus is in ruins. His favoured son, Monke, has turned from his Communism's spectre and embraced Oligarchaos.
His armies, the mighty and redoubtable Russian Armed Forces, are locked in a brutal special military operation. Once, these Ukrainian warriors fought side by side as brothers, protecting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and bringing the people of Europe back into the Russkiy Mir. Now they are divided.
Some remain loyal to the Tsar, whilst others have sided with the Warmaster Zelensky. Pre-eminent amongst them, the elite of their thousands-strong conscripts are the VDV. Magnificent, superhuman beings, they are the crowning achievement of Soviet military tradition. Thrust into battle against one another, victory is uncertain for either side.
Airports are burning. At Hosstmel V, Zelensky dealt a vicious blow and three loyal Velysian Drop Divisions were all but destroyed. War has begun, a conflict that will engulf the steppes in fire. Treachery and betrayal have usurped honour and nobility. Assassins lurk in every shadow. Armies are gathering. All must choose a side or die.
Zelensky musters his horde, Crimerra itself the object of his wrath. Seated upon the Golden Banan, Monke waits for his wayward son to return. But the true enemy is NATO, a primordial force that seeks to enslave mankind to democracy and prosperity.
The screams of the T-14, the pleas of the mobiks resound to the cruel laughter of Monke. Suffering and damnation await him should he fail and the war be lost.
The age of the Happiness of all Mankind has ended.
The Age of Monke has begun.
Its part of a growing collection of trash films that has eclipsed the number of good Pixar films.
The animation itself is nicely done, direction is fine, the music's really solid.
Narratively found it very lacking. Tonally the more manic/comedic focused first half of the film doesn't mesh well with the serious moments they have. Add to that I didn't find the comedy funny it was almost unbearable to watch, There's too much good to say it's terrible but I'd unironically rather watch any of the Cars movies over watching this again.
le generational trauma, more reasons to give yourself that you're a victim lame
it was fine
Pretty low, but it's far from the worst batch.
It needed Ming sex scenes.
Never watching it/10
Well I was told it wasn't for me so I didn't watch it.
That was Bao, are you saying all pixar asian shorts look alike to you?
>That was Bao
I don't think it was, because I enjoyed Bao.
>Chinese woman eats her baby
What did they mean by this?
If you're even slightly confused by it, you're a violent racist.
no you're just a moron
Boring/10, like most Pixar movies now.

I unironically really enjoy Brave
its really sad just how well the fricking grubhub dude fits in with this art style
It's actually kind of a janky calarts style 2bqh
They only share extremely surface level details. Their design principles are entirely different.
Top 10 and it's not at 10.
>They only share extremely surface level details.
Yeah, like the characters looking like shit.
Anon, I don't know how to explain this to you but nobody looks at the mom and thinks "the artstyle is shit", or the background school kids at that.
Frick, mental illness kicking in.
Anyway, I love everyone in this movie.
I like tubby Chinese gremlin
It's hilarious how they were too wimpy to make it beer.
What the frick are you talking about? 12 year olds don't drink beer.
lol, next you're gonna tell me 8 year olds don't vape
Grubhub
She got that double gulp gawk gawk slurpee vacuum head.
It shows how much Pixar has fallen.
in terms of quality, i'd say it was... *in the red*.
It's good. Turning Red is nowhere near Pixar's best, but it's inoffensive and made me care about the characters, which is more than I can say about everything released around it.

Her feet?
I'd pay to see her "panda". Does she charge extra for stroking her?
D+ spinoff show when?
Honestly not a bad idea, this sort of concept feels like it’d work better as a series anyway
The one not targeted at a while male adult audience? What do you think it will be rated here?
your sister's ass/10
which pixar movie was ever targeted at adult white males?
The Incredibles? Mr incredible is a white adult male and he was the MC of that movie.
It's somehow a movie with a conservative message and it feels weird it even exists, but it's more a movie for families than just adult white guys.
>Didn't like it because it's targeted at girls
Does this really happen? Most white adult males I know love Disney Princess movies and other cartoons with female MCs.
7/10 movie with a 9/10 qt mc.
These, decent 7 with 10/10 dicky and milf pussy.
I give it a solid B.
For BAAM
>rating movies with school grades
American moment,
The B stands for BIG ASS ASIAN MILF
I've got to say best Pixar MILF. Hands down.
You know that is a lie.
Mediocre at best
I dont like it but im pretty sure its because Im not the audience for this film.
A for Abby
More like Flabby, am I right?
She's cute
At the bottom of the barrel, nestled right between Toy Story 4 and Lightyear.
>Toy Story 4 and Lightyear.
Wait, no Cars 2?
At least Cars 2 didn't kill an actually good series like Toy Story 4 did
What was she doing in that bathroom, why did it have to be the bathroom?
Lets just say she made a mess and she has never felt better.

When they sent this movie to theaters did they do the delivery dance?
Nah, that shit was bought from Hotel Transylvania, what, 2??

I rate it as a very inappropriate for kids. Can't believe this somehow got a PG rating instead of PG-13. I wanted to show it to my class as one of our last week of school movies, but glad I prescreened it to see it mentions sexual stuff. Yikes
Did you watch Prince of Egypt instead?
>Offhand acknowledgement of menstruation
>Sexual
I guess I shouldn't expect virgins to know what sex is
one of the best new kids movies
Oh me go doo doo real good like a big boy should oh yes rubbing a red panda stuffed animal all around my dirty shithole until the fur gets all crusty and matted then throwing it to a gang of orphans and watching them lick the shit off until the one who licks the most shit gets adopted by me.
I can't even watch this
frick that part of life and everything about it
oh me so horny
i love coming of age stories with cute girls a lot, so i really liked it
Just straight up say you're a pedo, dude
This, who doesn’t enjoy watching cute girls being cute.
Uuuoooohhhh panda belly!!!
>That FUPA jiggling when she do that
Wonder if she can orgasm just by jiggling her FUPA up and down cause that would be hot
Also I would totally frick her up the ass
It's one of the most annoying animated films. I love coming of age stories, this was the worst way to do one. Don't even bother to make them likeable, because at this point its all about "if you're annoying be annoying, be who you are! it's quirky! it's fun! it's real which means it's obviously not obnoxious to watch for an hour! this is ME! accept it!!!"

just another movie not really deserving of attention

MU is good, what is wild is Bugs Life being great and Up in based, and Turning Red being trash, move BL down and TR up to great.
Yeah, what the frick? It should be in great.
>Up
>not in it's own tier below trash
Ah, a troll tier list.
>Soul
>good
Frick off.
What's bad about it?
Soul “good” is fair, probably their best new film, which isn’t saying much but still.
Pretty fair, nothing I can disagree with.
Dory and Coco go down 2. OG cars goes up.

No mention of 9-11, no reason for it to be set in the early 2000s.
Actually loved the fabric/ materials modeling and rendering, backgrounds, sets and lighting. Maybe top 5 in those?

>grub hub ad came out in 2020
>Tyler could've had a kid sometimes in the 2010s since he was an adult since the late 2000s
Tyler is the grub hub dad.
Who's the mother though
Boring. Would rather watch Monsters Inc.
below mid but above trash

This video lives in my head rent-free:
It's fine, I don't know why people got so mad at it.
Puberty and overbearing mothers sucks, who can't relate to that.
>4town
>5 members
Reminds me of a band from Poland named Just 5
Maybe 2 of them are from the same town. Did you ever think about that shit? Huh well didja?
It's pretty good. It'd be great if it didn't have the boring chunk of raising money.
And the environmental work on this flick is quite honestly second to none in Pixar+Disney 3D. The city, the store, the house, etc etc are all meticulously detailed.

>what made it bad
That it was a Pixar movie
The trailers made it look cringe. But Pixar isn't great at trailers honestly.
Most of the "hate" came from people who didn't watch it, but convinced themselves it was bad for various schizo reasons.
Chad panda is missing the burning towers in the background
loose brat/needs correction
Do Asian women secretly want to murder their parents?
Yes. Yes they do.
I watched 5 or 10 minutes and couldn’t stomach any more of it.
That is legitimately the weakest part of the movie, you should have kept watching.
It deserves its place in the pecking order.
Second row is worse than the third row.
Toy story 3 is still golden age, the whiplash between that and Cars 2 is remarkable
Here's a more accurate version.
>Recovery
>Onward
>Turning Red
>Fricking Lightyear
Yeah, the recovery of the miscelaneous body parts spread throughout the pavement after a horrific high-speed car crash in the highway.
Onward through Turning Red are all good, and Lightyear is an exception, just like there are great movies in the decline.
Hello troony!!
Hello Cinemaphile
For as much as I like Cars, it is a fact that it was the tipping point of the end of Pixar's innovative era.
>Rating 6/10

Even though I was around the same age as the main character during that time period I feel like I couldn't identify with much. Probably because I am a man that grew up in a rural area at that time.

It's my #1 favorite Pixar movie.
What was the most anti-2002 year and the most irrelevant and least remembered year of the 2000's?
I am looking for a year from the decade of the 2000's that I almost remember and that almost nobody talks about
also that it is a year opposite to 2002 in everything
6/10 at best
If she was in that form and it was never revealed she was Asian, it would've fared better.
Probably one of the best ones. Extremely underrated and the only decent modern era Pixar movie.

I miss when Pixar featured all adult protagonists.
Was it a horny movie?
disney should make more movies about horny young girls
I want Turning Red 2: Even Hornier
Pretty sure this is the only Disney or Pixar movie that outright says the word sex/sexy in it, so yeah. Of course there's a lot of sexual implication stuff in the other movies but they don't outright say it... pretty crazy thing to do in a PG movie honestly. The outright drug mention as well

It's not good. Not horrible though. 5/10. Should be forgettable but it resembles how bad Pixar has fallen off so it's always used as a refrence point.
