These are the scenes parents were most upset about in Pixar’s ‘Turning Red’ – By Ariana Garcia (Houston Chronicle) / March 15, 2022
Some parents have deemed the film’s themes on puberty to be “too mature” for children.
Pixar’s “Turning Red” is a coming-of-age film centered on Meilin Lee, a Chinese-Canadian 13-year-old who “poofs” into a giant red panda any time her emotions run high, a metaphor for puberty. The secretly boy-crazy eighth grader tries to be the perfect daughter to her mother but holding her emotions in becomes increasingly difficult as she grows more and more into her own person.
The film tackles the transition from childhood to womanhood, challenges of mother-daughter relationships and generational trauma all in under two hours. While many praised the project for its normalization of these topics, some parents who watched the film felt that its themes were “too mature” for their children. The movie is rated PG for its “thematic material, suggestive content and language.”
