The Lobby: Turning Red (Patreon)

Meilin, the 13-year-old protagonist of the latest Pixar feature Turning Red, spends much of the film in the form of a fuzzy, giant red panda, but director/co-writer Domee Shi never loses track of the very human emotions and relationships at the heart of this story. Tasha and Genevieve got together to discuss how the film balances the heft of those emotions and relationships with its high-key comedic tone, why the fuzziness of the film's big red central metaphor works so well in its favor, and what Turning Red tells us about the past, present, and possible future of Pixar.
