The Devil Is In The Details
As someone who was a tween in 2002, the details in #TurningRed were impeccable!

I didn’t realize Turning Red was set in 2002, but it turns out Mei and I are the same age, and the nostalgia kick I got from the styling and music choices was insane. Also I sobbed through the entire thing because HOOOEY IT HITS.
Watched turning red last night with the 9yo and her first observation was that the movie takes place in 2002. She turned to me and said, "wait, if this is 2002, how old would she be now?"
"33, she'd be a year older than me"

The only unrealistic thing in Turning Red is all those 8th graders having texting plans in 2002. The rest of it is exactly what it’s like to be 13 and have a controlling overbearing parent including the turning into a red panda part.
