Turning Red is directed by Domee Shi in her feature directorial debut, from a screenplay written by Shi and Julia Cho and stars the voices of Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Orion Lee, Wai Ching Ho, Tristan Allerick Chen, and James Hong.
Turing Red is the first Pixar film to be solely directed by a woman, the first to take place in Canada, and the second to feature an Asian lead character after Up.
Set in Toronto in 2002, the film follows Meilin “Mei” Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian student who is horrified to discover her newfound ability to transform into a giant red panda whenever she gets into a state of strong emotion.

Turning Red has its release date on March 11, 2022, and in a surprising move on Disney’s part, it will not be released in theaters in the US.
Sadly, Turning Red isn’t an option on Netflix, and there doesn’t seem to be any immediate plans for that to change.
