Turning Red is an upcoming American 3D computer animated coming-of-age film produced by Pixar set to be released on March 11, 2022. The film will be written and directed by Domee Shi, and will be Pixar's 25th feature film.

Synopsis

Set in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in Turning Red, Mei Lee is a confident, dorky thirteen-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren't enough, whenever she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS), she "poofs" into a giant red panda! Turning Red is written and directed by Academy Award-winner Domee Shi (Pixar short Bao), produced by Lindsey Collins and coming to theaters in March 11, 2022.

Cast

• Rosalie Chiang as Mei Lee
• Sandra Oh as Ming Lee
• TBA as Mr. Kieslowski

• The second Pixar film to be directed by a woman.
• This is the first Pixar film to directed by a woman of color.
• According to the poster, the film takes place in 2002 or 2003.
• This film is set in Toronto, Canada, as some of the articles of clothing Mei wears features the maple leaf of the Canadian flag and a shot of the CN Tower.
  • According to Domee Shi, she chose this city as the backdrop of her film because it was her hometown.
• This will be the third Pixar film with a protagonist who wears glasses after Carl Fredricksen from Up and Joe Gardner from Soul but the first of such movies with a female glass-wearer in the lead role.

  • Thus, it also marks Ludwig Göransson's first music score in an animated feature film, after previously scoring the Walt Disney Animation Studios short film Inner Workings and producing songs for DreamWorks Animation's Trolls World Tour.
• This will be another Pixar film not to take place in the United States as with Finding Dory, Luca, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Brave, and Coco.
