It’s tough being a teenager. It’s even tougher when you’re going through dramatic changes in your life. In the sneak peek from Disney & Pixar’s upcoming film Turning Red, Mei Lee goes through her first big transformation. Check out the clip below!
Turning Red introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.

And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda.
Directed by Academy Award® winner Domee Shi (Pixar short “Bao”) and produced by Lindsey Collins Turning Red releases on March 11, 2022.
Turning Red streams only on Disney+ on March 11.
