Turning Red (Pixar Movie)

Pixar overall made four films with a female protagonist (Brave, Inside Out, Finding Dory and Turning Red), out of which two focuses on a broken mother-daughter relationship and features the characters turning into large, hairy mammals. That's indeed oddly specific. Also... overbearing mother, hehe.

I adored this movie. I may not be Chinese-Canadian but I could definitely relate to being 13 and cringe. Lots of nice metaphors about puberty and womanhood in there, too.

I can't relate to a movie about a 13 year old girl turning into a Panda!

Seriously though,I'll have to watch this soonish

By all counts, Turning Red is the movie Brave should have been.

Brave was hit with a lot of Executive Meddling, and Disney movies about mothers are pretty rare, so one could consider this a second chance to do the premise justice.

I wasn’t imagining it; turns out Priya and that goth girl at the party were indeed an item according to this Pixar artist. Explains a bit more about that recent anonymous letter.

[up] As if Crash winning Best Picture didn’t already do that.

But yeah, Wreck-It-Ralph is straight up my favorite Disney movie of all time. In comparison, I don’t remember jack shit about Brave.

It makes more sense if you look at who actually votes in the Oscars.

Basically a lot of old people.

And Wreck-it-Ralph revolves around videogames, something that is basically Kryptonite for old people.

The picture on 46 (along with the exclamation "Awooga!") is already becoming a meme. I wonder how big it will get.

Encanto, this, and The Mitchell's vs the Machines would be a fantastic triple feature.

It's good but I couldn't relate to it. Must be too Canadian.

Wow, Disney's fifteenth first queer character /s?

Seriously, it's 2022, if frikkin Power Rangers can have an on screen explicitly confirmed queer relationship, why does Disney think this blink and you miss it read the artbook 'intended to be read as ' queer bullshit? So cowardly and am sick of people applauding them.

My view is that I’m more about uplifting the people who push for queer rep, than the company who only allows a crumb then advertises that crumb like bait on a line. Recently a letter was printed by Pixar employees calling out Disney for acting like it’s so queer-promoting, so there’s definitely those who want to do more with gay stories if only they were given the opportunity.

If Disney wants the rainbow cookie they need to do a lot more and better.

Wait did they announce another “first gay character” for this movie?

Disney themselves didn't announce it. A member of the film's crew confirmed that two characters dancing in a scene were meant to be queer. This came after Pixar said that Disney was keeping them from showing explicit LGBTQ+ characters in their films.

@randomness4

I mean the fact that the executive suite is actively reducing the amount of queer rep while using that same queer rep as an excuse for funding every sponsor of a bill that forcibly outs queer children to their parents, while not allowing teacher to talk about the existence of queer identities at all is a huge problem.

Disney is mostly certainly not the only company that does this idiotic tightrope walk, but they're the most overt and in your face about it. They will talk about their queer representation until the cows come home (but they won't highlight the stuff under their umbrella that actually counts, like the stuff on Freeform), but will generally refuse to do anything major. Plus stuff like screwing over Owl House (which is a hugely popular show, by the way) and the way they handled shutting down Blue Sky.

They are only really willing to go so far as quiet, offhand representation that's easy to cut out or explain away.

The gay characters are specifically one of the main characters (the one with the glasses and the yellow outfit) and a goth girl.

Isn't the bully boy also heavily implied to be gay, from the way he gushes over the boy band?

[up] That one's a legitimate big question mark. A lot of guys around that age at that time were really into the boy bands, they just didn't want to admit it, and a lot of those guys were straight.

He very well could be, but he also might not be.

Capitalism ruins everything.

I swear nothing is worse than seeing people in need circles shit on companies like Marvel and Disney for pushing "globohomo" and then dealing with white liberals gushing over those same companies for butter biscuits while they actively contribute to making the world's worse for actual queer people.

It's a key reason why I've boycotted Hollywood for years.
