The beast is not the period itself pls its emotions. Its the generational trauma of making women in their family suppress their emotions to be “perfect” (which causes drifts between the moms and daughters) and her owning up to who she is and allowing her emotions (panda) be free. And the panda destroys things at first bc as she is getting hormonal for the first time she doesn’t quite know how to regulate her emotions yet.
@nikkijadesola23 there is a new theory that she was a late bloomer when she was a teenager. Thus, her panda is that big. While everyone else had their pandas at an earlier age
This movie is based in Canada, I think toronto. As a half filipino myself I can say it's pretty accurate, the parenting n culture being raised by an asain parent n meeting expectations while also being perfect.
You are correct! It is based on Toronto I believe in China Town, Toronto Canada is where she lives in the movie. Honesty love this movie gave a sorta good representation of how some girls grow up.....💕💕
I am literally so happy that they can do both horror and just silly Disney movies. Bc honestly I got really scared during some of they're commentaries hahahh
“Thats some 13yr old girl shit… there is no guy that simps over anyhting that hard at 13”…… Boys being OBSESSED with sport players and sports teams since they are like 5…. Come on….
The Red Panda is literally a Defense Mechanism, not a metaphor for periods. Puberty is the time where hormones are all time high, so any strong emotions releases the panda as to not feel vulnerable. Her friends represent a safe space. Also no, the message is not "just calm down", but "it's ok to feel a certain way, you should feel safe being who you are"
I’m pretty confident it’s not about periods (just puberty overall maybe) and somebody just said that it was and people took that and ran a mile with it. Could be wrong though. Love your guys’ vids btw
wasn't it confirmed by the director herself? During "making red" or whatever it was called, its also on disney+ edit: never mind, yeah, it's called embrace the panda: making turning and the director herself in her exact words were "it was a metaphor for magical puberty. Just seeing this girl who thought she had everything under control suddenly big, and hairy and smelly and an emotional wreck" and then another woman, maybe the animator says "this panda is incredibly cute. It's also true to the fact that time in a girl's life. In some ways its also the worst time. You're not a kid, but you're also not an adult" are their words. So it's definitely about puberty/period and adolescence, hence the literal description of the movie.
Part of it, in my opinion at least, is about periods and normalizing talking about it (this also goes for puberty in general). So many young girls out there are barely taught about their own bodies, I being one of them. I remember when I was in 7th grade and got my period for the first time. I had a panic attack in my room. I remembered a few things they had said in health class about how to put on a pad and stuff but that's all we really got when it came to information on what to do. I didn't tell anyone because I was freaked out and embarrassed. That entire day at school was full of scary surprises and a lot of pain because apparently my body just wants to kill me 24/7. Imagine being able to do schoolwork lmfao couldn't be me. Anyways, my point here is that I would have loved to have a movie like this when I was around that age. It would have made me feel less alone in the situation because that was the scariest part for me. Being alone in a new situation like that was mmmm
Story: My highschool was combined with a middle school campus, last year I was senior class vice president and was in charge of planning the middle school's movie night. One of my tasks was to find a good movie so I offered Turning Red because it was a new coming of age Disney movie. It got rejected, because a teacher said it was too "adult".
I have mixed emotions abt these guys. SOMETIMES they can be funny but then they take things wayyy too literal and it doesn't make anything funny, just makes them sound dumb ....respectfully
Yeah they can be pretty hit or miss for me too. I feel like a lot of the "ignorance" around this movie specifically is really apparent after seing a reaction by The Movie Budz, and it shows it´s not about being guys not knowing "womenly things".
This is literally the best way to put it. Periods aren’t just “periods” it’s like any other teenager growing up with hormones. As this is just a thing women have to go through. Which is why I think made them confused on the point.
Fun fact: the number 4 are both pronounced like the way you will pronounce the english [she], but have different spelling. For 4 it is [ si or sei ] and for "death" it is [ sï or séi ].
I think that the act of remaining calm to get rid of the panda is representative of how much Mei Mei is expected to logic or rationalize her way out of situations that are kind of too big for a kid to handle. Also, when your body is changing, you want to not show any emotion because everything feels awkward and obvious and shrinking into the background feels much better. Also, Ming's panda was extra huge (I think) because she had the burden of two very different worlds put on her.
I’m white so I can’t relate to this movie entirely but I was a little girl who grew up with parents who came from Mexico, and they never bothered to teach me Spanish, nor teach me aspects of our culture, so I felt really lost growing up. Also, Latin American parents show love in ways other than using words, like American parents for instance. I could also relate to the period thingy. It’s a great movie. Obviously it’s a move especially for Asian girls, but I can’t lie, I think most girls who grew up with parents like that can relate to a certain extent.
This movie is also about girls' puberty and period and I appreciated that because my little sister had hers at 9 so it can help young girls to understand
Your mistake was taking one single aspect of the transformation - Mei LIn's emerging interest in boys - and deciding early on that it had to be the only metaphor that explains everything. In fact the transformation is about that and everything else that comes with adolescence, including independence from parents, periods, and confusing emotions, which you might have seen if you handn't prematurely locked in your guess about the subject.
i'm finishing the video during dinner and i had to stop because this video had me laughing the entire way through. i had to literally put down my meal just so i could actually watch this reaction and laugh bc the way you guys react to ever cringey thing that happens in this movie is HILARIOUS
i still dont think its a metaphor for periods fully- they literally ask if its her period and its not, and saying everyones period causes really bad anger is just not true- i will say yes its like a allegory but i feel less bc of these reasons. the only thing besides it literally being red, the only thing i really related to with it is that periods are a curse for majority of your life. it is a good movie to introduce periods to kids tho i will say! its just if it was a reference to periods why have the period joke-
This is my favourite animated movie! Probably one of the best reactions to it, a lot of people didn’t get elements of the movie but you guys did and weren’t judgemental about the approach to it. So good!
"Woman are not calm during periods" It's true. I had to go on medication because of how bad my mood swings were. Crying and angry all the time during it sucks. And you know it's because of the period but you can't STOP.
You'll find so many men use the whole "Women use men's emotions against them" thing, but then those same men will use women's periods and emotions against them as a reason why women are "inferior" or "beneath men".
so, this is what you guys (white people) don't get. the classic asian family dynamic, yes it is borderline emotional abuse but it is generational trauma so someone in the legacy needs to break that cycle - in this case, it's Mei Mei. As an asian woman growing up in a conservative household, this movie is dear to me.
this movie is NOT about period, it's about generational trauma in asian household that needs to be fixed. You guys probably didn't understand bcs you guys are white and ✨men✨
@@a.g.demada5263 nope.. The panda symbolizes the pent up emotions of asian children living in conservative asian household. That's why the panda size is different for everyone and mother's panda is biggest bcs she too faced worse experience than what MeiMei went through but she also did it to MeiMei which shows generational trauma.
@@nfaiqah9742 No it's confirmed to symbolize puberty and the bigger your panda the more repressed emotions you have. The mother's large panda was CAUSED by the things she dealt with, but it's not the effect. The cause is her trauma, the effect is her insanely repressed emotions and large size. It also is mixed with the idea of periods, because periods are literally conjoined with puberty. "I'm a gross red monster!" (Mentions pads twice) "Red is a lucky colour." I understand the entire underlying story is about the generational trauma of Asian families, but the panda is not SPECIFICALLY that, it's a symbol for puberty in general.
As someone that grew up in the gta I loved that this was in Toronto and knowing some of the references thrown in like the sky dome being the Scotiabank theatre
as someone who has experienced the amazingness that is periods, I think the size of the panda shows the shame for having a period? I don't know it made sense to me but it also doesn't lol
it's more about the emotions they repressed that equals the size of the panda. So Ming's and Mei's are huge because they've spent their lives repressing themselves and who they wanted to be while the rest just accepted it
“I don’t know a guy that obsesses over stuff like a 13 year old girl” tell that to the kid that was so obsessed with me he said he would drug and r-pe me at like 11. Anyways, I would never forgive my mom for that like all of that was on purpose.
bruh watching this stuck at a gas station cus my bus left to early, so I missed it now I need to sit here for 3 hours since my dad ain't answering my calls. fun right?
this movie is not based fully on periods it is also based on how much responsibility the girls have to carry and do what their Asian parents have told them. it's nothing related to horny ass shit. don't compare the two!

Mei and her mom’s pandas are so big because of the amount of emotions they kept repressed. So happy you guys watched this! 💕
Except her panda was always that big
@@moneylover318 yeah cuz she always repressed her emotions
@nikkijadesola23 there is a new theory that she was a late bloomer when she was a teenager. Thus, her panda is that big. While everyone else had their pandas at an earlier age
I don't think it's necessarily about periods specifically but puberty in general and the hormonal emotional and bodily changes everyone goes through
This movie is based in Canada, I think toronto.
As a half filipino myself I can say it's pretty accurate, the parenting n culture being raised by an asain parent n meeting expectations while also being perfect.
Same with me I’m half Filipino and both my parents except me to be perfect. I have to have good grades (only A’s). It’s so frustrating!
You are correct! It is based on Toronto I believe in China Town, Toronto Canada is where she lives in the movie. Honesty love this movie gave a sorta good representation of how some girls grow up.....💕💕
That’s where I was born:)
"no guy simps so hard over something at 13 years old"
me: looking at any teenage boy and their obsession with footballs
And Fortnite, and Breaking bad, and American psycho, and Marvel movies, and-
Or guys buying girl farts and bath water from the women they simp online 💀💀💀
I am literally so happy that they can do both horror and just silly Disney movies. Bc honestly I got really scared during some of they're commentaries hahahh
It’s funny how Nick and Cory feel more emotions watching an animated film than those cringe Netflix shit shows/movies 😂❤
tbf anything would be better than half of them netflix series honestly
Anything, but exclude captain underpants and cuphead, as they're actually good shows

like its odd

@@imaniMoMothe amount of times they say horny is wild
exactly what i was thinking, i started watching their channel two weeks ago and like you said it’s sometimes too much that i don’t even enjoy the joke
"Mom doesn't get her periods anymore?" to the birth control joke made me question if you know what it is used for lol
Even placebo-free bc pills still cause some degree of infrequent spotting, so I’m not sure either 😂
I used to use birth control to completely stop periods. It can be used for a lot of things.
I feel like y'all probably should've watched this with a girl so she could explain the accuracy of it all lol but overall really funny reaction!
the red panda does not (only) represent her period lmao

This movie is not about getting your period. it's about family legacy for the females in a family and deciding and excepting who you are.
I'm so gay that when Cory said "don't say the F word" my mind automatically went to 'faggot' 😭😭😭😂
Thanks for making my day better Nick and Cory
I love how u guys missed so many little plot lines and meanings. EVERYTIME
13 year old boys literally simp after everything ever you're straight up wrong nick lmao.

Y’all are the friend group I need. With every video, y’all prove that. This reaction was awesome! Thanks, guys!
This video was so silly!! Made me laugh so much. 😂😂😂 Love your guys reactions (& the duality between horror and cartoons on your channel).❤❤❤
"Woman are not calm during periods" It's true. I had to go on medication because of how bad my mood swings were. Crying and angry all the time during it sucks. And you know it's because of the period but you can't STOP.

Me, I don't have mood swing but I'm always tired the day before my first period day and I have dolors
Lol the reason she was brushing her face was because it helped calm her down before so she's desperately trying to calm down.
The way you guys released Making Red reaction the DAY I got mine- 💀 Your timing is impeccable, I'll give you that. Thanks for the reaction
I love Mr. Gao's face when Ming starts to transform 🤣 The poor man is probably thinking, "not again"

Yeah cuz white people aren't conservative and don't have generational trauma
This movie is more about having emotions yes her period started it all but then it’s more about her being a hormonal teenager
Yes Cory... You can totally meditate the period away😭
37:40 the scene w/ Mei's mum in the forest reminds me of ParaNorman
Y’all should definitely watch terrifier 2 it’s a wholesome family friendly comedy❤️❤️
"She has braces and her name is Miriam"
I love that Nick loves the red panda every hour Twitter account cuz thats like my favorite account lmao
I love the idea of Mei being a superhero! XD
if this was high school i could see tyler and mei being enemies to lovers
I cant tell u how much i love these reacts ❤
i literally just said where's nick and cory and then you showed up. so happy i know its gonna be good video🥰🥰🥰
I wish I could meditate my period away. The hormones and everything could calm down when when it's that time of the week 😂
I didn’t expect this one! I just watched it with my sever year old friend the other night. And I’ve never seen a kid so stressed out in my life.
Love your reaction from horror movies to Wattpad movies to Disney movies. ❤️
