Plot summary
What is Turning Red movie plot?
Here is a short review of "Turning Red" movie plot summary.
In 2002, Meilin "Mei" Lee (Rosalie Chiang) is a spunky 13-year-old Chinese Canadian girl who lives in Toronto. She is a student prodigy and has an entourage of close friends consisting of Miriam (Ava Morse), Priya (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), and Abby (Hyein Park). All of them are fans of the boy band 4*Town. However, Mei's mother Ming (Sandra Oh) constantly expects perfection from her daughter and tries to discourage her current interests, including her crush on a boy named Devon (Addison Chandler) who works at a convenience store. Mei and Ming spend their days tending to their Chinese family temple that resides next to their house.
One day after having a nightmare about the red panda statues from the temple coming to life, Mei suddenly wakes up to discover that she has turned into a giant red panda. After hiding this change from her mother Ming and her father Jin, Mei discovers that she can turn back into a human once she calms down as she only transforms when in a high-pressure of emotion. Though Mei tries her best to hide the transformation, Ming, who was worrying about her daughter, finds out when she inadvertently embarrasses her by getting into a fight with a security guard in front of her whole class, which causes Mei to transform. Mei leaves the school and runs to her house.
Ming and Jin explain that every female member of their family has been granted with the transformation on account of an ancestor named Sun Yee, and it can only be sealed by a ritual on the night of the Red Moon, where the Red Panda spirit will be sealed into a talisman. Ming intends to keep Mei locked in a room until that date. After Mei's friends inadvertently discover Mei in her panda form and take a liking to it, Mei finds that concentrating on her friends helps to keep herself from changing. After proving this to her parents, Ming allows her to resume her normal activities, though she continues to try to keep a close eye on her.
