Turning Red will debut exclusively on Disney+ on March 11th.
The new feature-length film is full of Canadian connections. Chinese-born and Toronto-raised writer and director Domee Shi is the brains behind the operation. Shi previously won an Oscar for her 2018 animated short Bao.
Turning Red is based in Toronto and follows teenager Meilin (played by Rosalie Chiang) who turns into a giant red panda whenever she gets excited. She’s constantly followed around by her mother (played by Sandra Oh).
