Vote up the best opinions about Pixar's latest coming-of-age pic.
Pixar's Turning Red is a frank and honest look at all of the horrors of pre-teen drama through the eyes of a 13-year-old prepubescent girl whose puberty is presented through a giant red panda. The story of Meilin, her wonderful friends, and her overprotective mother hit a nerve with many folks as it explored new topics and opened new conversations rarely traversed in animation. And of course, folks took to social to discuss their opinions, good and bad. Here are a few hot takes regarding the latest Pixar feature film at make a pretty interesting point.

Not gonna lie I know to a lot of people it’s probably stupid and minor but seeing pads and menstruation be brought up so casually and not be a complete punchline or a negative in turning red was so refreshing to see and honestly made me pretty emotional pic.twitter.com/XJsRrJJMZH
just watched turning red and i'm confused bc people are mad that the film is a metaphor for growing up / puberty, despite the films plot is literally criticising parents who protect their kids so much to the point of where it stops them growing up
Everyone who’s upset about Pixar Turning Red’s Meilin disobeying her parents and “sneaking out of the house,” let me remind you of a few Disney films where the girl disobeyed and no one was in an uproar about it:
Jasmine disobeyed her dad and ran away to become a street rat, nevermind that she also flew away on a magic carpet ride date with a prince she met a little bit ago
Rapunzel ran away after kidnapping a fugitive, went with said fugitive to a bar, almost drowned, then married the same fugitive. Where was the uproar then? Compared to that, Mei is just a normal teen for sneaking out to go to a party where alcohol wasn’t even served.
I’d like to thank whoever did this. It’s such a little gesture , mostly unnoticed by the most, but it’s literally the first time ever I’ve seen someone with a diabetes patch, let alone in a cartoon. This is so important, thank you. #TurningRedpic.twitter.com/cUZ7MBSIe0
