The moment Mei looked back and saw the panda whimpering she realised how much it impacted her life. All the happiness it brought to others and allowed to be herself. *I mean, if I had the ability to transform into a 8'4 panda based on emotion...I'd keep it too*
I personally don't like to think about puberty as a subject, for solely personal reasons, so I more so think of this as Mei embracing her emotions and every part of her, that allows her to truly be herself. And that works just as well in this scene, because growing up involves a lot of interpretations on so many people, the parents, the kids, everyone. But in the end, it's the choice of the person who has their panda. Besides, even though I've passed the adolescent age years ago, I'd HAPPILY take turning into a red panda over what real life puberty is like
of course literally turning into a red panda would be amazing but also it is a little funny considering it was a metaphor for puberty and yet here u guys are like "i personally dont like to think about puberty as a subject" and "becoming a red panda instead of looking like u murdered someone in the bathroom is way better" no personal offence meant but i just think this is a little funny
I love that when Mei looks back at the red panda, she sees how scared it is. By looking at it she realises her own uncertainty about the decision she was about to go through. The panda manifests that fear, just like all of her other emotions, since it IS a part of her. She looks back on all of her memories AS the red panda, she realises she was more true to herself as the “Gross Red Monster” than she was as Mei. The red panda was always a part of her, it just revealed itself in an unexpected way. I love the message portrayed in this movie! I know it’s literally a metaphor for periods but it’s not just about “An inconvenient murder scene you cause in a bathroom once a month” it’s also about the physical, emotional and mental changes we have to go through. Despite periods being a very common thing, most people are left in the dark about its meaning and are left both confused and scared, only because most people consider it too awkward to talk about. Despite those changes being scary and very frustrating sometimes, it can lead to a lot of good. Those changes can open up new possibilities for us, give us ideas we would have never expected to have, open a new chapter in our lives that eventually everyone begins at some point. So dear parents, please don’t put off the subject when the time comes, the kids might need that information someday so they will not fear the future and not portray it as a negative thing in their lives. Or if it is too difficult to speak about, please consider a good friend or a doctor to explain those things to ur kids. And dear kids, don’t be afraid to ask questions or to discover things on your own. Just remember to consider speaking to a parent or a trusting adult to help you answer your questions in a safe way. Remember, you are not alone.
They're just periods. And altho nothing to be ashamed of, it certainly isn't worthy of such glorification either. I'd rather women didn't have them. Or only once or twice a year like dogs.
Why does everyone hate this movie so much? Everyone’s mad about it not really being completely kid friendly just because Pixar is known for making kid friendly movies, AND people are acting like it’s rated E when it’s not. So hating on it just doesn’t make sense.
Because it's message was positive, you don't have to change who you are for anyone for any reason, you ARE who you are! Even if it involves the embodiment of a spiritual red panda, which is freakin adorable!
@@pathetic2399 seeing the trailer I didnt like the way it looked and by looks I dont mean the art or animation, it's the way the protagonist behaves as well as her friends. i think it's just me since I find people in real life with that personality to be annoying or full of themselves in a unnecessary degree.
Mei really is modern day Sun Yee 💘💘💘 She is finally able to see her red panda self as a blessing and not a curse + she makes people happy from that ability, love her sm
I cried when Mei turned back to see the panda, with that sad, hurt, scared look in its eyes, as if to say, "Don't leave me. Don't seal me away. I'm part of you." How comforting it was that she made the choice to keep her panda. I would've done the same. She was wise to reflect on how the panda made her popular at school, but most of all, it made her happy with herself.
This movie deserves more credit than it does. I don't understand why people hate this movie when it conveys such a strong message. I haven't seen the movie myself yet, I've only seen clips of it but this clip makes me want to watch it. In the beginning, Mei became a teenager, a teenager with dreams, inspirations, and expectations. And she had expectations from other people too, her mom, her friends, everyone had an expectation of her, but more importantly, she had an expectation of herself. When she turned 13 she envisioned herself as a mature grown-up. Someone who doesn't mess around takes everything that comes at her very seriously, she considered the possibilities so seriously she was losing sight of who she wanted to be. She left her childhood behind. And when she was facing that moment where she could leave everything behind, start off brand new again, she realizes how much she is actually throwing away. She was throwing away her true self, and if she took that step she probably wouldn't have been able to turn back. The Red Panda is truly symbolic in representing her fun side, her *child* side. and she realizes it's okay to be that way, that she doesn't *need* to grow up so fast. For most of us teenagers we might be experiencing the same thing, whether you're discovering who you are as a person, or are starting off with puberty. Most of us are feeling like leaving behind our own *Red Panda* leaving the childish side of us, acting more mature to impress others and make everyone proud of us. But when in reality, it's *Okay* to embrace the Red Panda within each of us. It's what makes us who we are, the memories, the achievements we made in our lives. We don't *need* to throw away every moment that we had experienced when we were younger as children. Puberty hits everyone hard, it's surprising and makes you realize that you are growing up and you are changing. And the changes that you feel are wonderful, maybe in some ways unexpected, or aren't what you envisioned. But they make you *You* and that Red Panda buried inside of all of us is *us* And that is perfectly okay. Let's embrace the *Red Panda*
A lot of people that hate it are; 1. People that expect more from Pixar 2. Adult Males who just hates it 3. Parents that doesn't want to show this movie to their kids. 4. People who just normally didn't like it without a ridiculous reason.
@@NathanRio79 The adult males who don't like it are just snowflakes who are sad that the movie isn't about a white male. As George Carlin said: _You're white and you're lame._ I'm an adult male and I loved this film. It was brilliant.
The red panda never meant to hurt anyone, especially not Mei, it's just "growing up is a beast" as it learns to harness the power of emotion. All the while it crushes over Devon, makes her friends and people happy, embraces life, has righteous ire against bullies and stands up to oppression. Mei understood she'd have a shell of a life without it - you'd never want to let something like that go.

I totally understand Mei in this one. She grew so fond of her red panda form that it helped her form great friendships and build bigger bonds. She didn’t want to let it go because it meant so much to her and it’s helping her build more friendships. For she’s embracing her red panda form and wants to keep it in order to make more new friends.
I'd notice that out of all the women in Mei Mei's family, it was Mei Mei and her panda who has a unique connection with each other. Comparing it to the other pandas that her mother, aunties and grandmother, it was Mei Mei and her own panda who had the hardest moment to separate from each other. They are synchronized and both accepted each other as a part of their own identity.
Loved how Mei decided to keep the red panda. Don't know why people r giving this movie negative reviews, but it can't hurt to talk about puberty & growing pains. When Mei turned around & saw that the red panda spirit was scared of letting go, she knew she wanted to keep it. At 1st, she despised it, but despite the fact that it was a curse, she turned it into a gift. Come to think of it, I'm glad Mei kept the red panda forever.
At the moment when Mei turned around at the time she was about to be free from the panda. I felt that the panda as also scared like her. But when Mei bonded with the panda, it experienced the life and joy Mei was having. This made Mei become more aware to be herself and accept the panda to become part of her life no matter what.
You know, it's actually pretty interesting to see the red-haired lady's reaction to the ritual at 0:08, mostly because she looks pretty sad about the whole thing, like you can just see the 'ah another one here to let go of the panda again'.
@@OneBrokenEgg Yes. I think that every time she is disappointed that the woman herself considers turning into a panda a useful and necessary gift that can help her ancestors protect themselves in case the situation with the war and another emergency, and they just get rid of the panda with literally no respect for the red-haired lady.
Too be honest when mei-mei turned into the red panda she was so cute and when she was crying when she find out she turned to it for the first time it was so cute I started crying
i do wonder how large Mei is in red panda form. there is a King Kong type scene where she's holding friends of hers in her paws i think? how big must she be in panda form to achieve that!
I can identify this scene as the fact that even if my Asperger’s syndrome can be handicapping toward me as a child, it actually makes me a stronger person as an adult. And one day, I told my father how finally this syndrome becomes part of myself, taking it away would be the equivalent of separating myself from what completes my own identity
I once tried to reject that part of myself, and emptiness and depression followed. I wasn't quirky anymore, but I was now dead inside. I lost my creativity and passion to draw, paint and write. I realized I was a fool and accepted its a part of me.
Just so you know, Asperger's hasn't been used as a term for a while. It's just being autistic. It's harmful because it played into the thoughts of there being functioning labels, which there isn't.
@@lorenauniverse2726 Just so you know, Asperger's hasn't been used as a term for a while. It's just being autistic. It's harmful because it played into the thoughts of there being functioning labels, which there isn't.
this movie speaks to everyone, not just the target audience, and it's not just about puberty. anyone, man or woman, boy or girl who has been repressed by their parents, who have had unrealistic expectations thrust upon them by their parents. Mei's panda allowed her to express herself in ways she couldn't when she was in human form. the scene here is amazing, especially the unspoken conversation between Mei and her panda.
Just want to point out something I didn’t notice the first time: when Mei looked back at the panda and changed her mind, she was already almost out of the portal. If she hadn’t changed her mind at that last second it would’ve been too late. The first time I saw this I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough and thought she hadn’t been able to get through the portal at all, but she actually freed her whole body except for her waist/legs. That’s how close she was to losing the panda for good
I think that’s why a lot of people couldn’t get into Turning Red: The stakes are pretty low and the fate of the world wouldn’t be any different whether or not Mei loses her panda. Most people who watch Pixar movies expect a big baddie that is responsible for everything that happens in said movie… here it’s just family drama and built up generational problems.
what they could have done is have her physically embrace the spirit of the panda. I'm sorry if i have got this wrong and she actually does, as i'm relying on audio description, as i'm blind, and they can only fit so much description in. I got the idea of Mei working her way through the mirror and looking back at her panda, and the panda looking anguished, and Mei embracing her panda. but did she just remove herself from the mirror, or did she turn to the panda spirit and hug it to her before she lands back in the temple and hugs her panda self?
This movie went in a different direction than I thought it was going to be. I can’t even call it a guilty pleasure. It’s really solid for an adolescence movie. 8.5/10
Everyone’s talking about the memes and soundtrack of the movie. But this..was amazing. the detail in the plants and sky, and the emotion itself. It’s absolutely breathtaking.
I remember my mom saying "So she'll just turn into a giant panda when shes angry?? How can she live like that! Thats not very realistic! Turning into a monster all the time" She completely missed the point of the fact, growing up means regulating your emotional responses. It means working with your panda. Which explained alot because my mother was super repressive while i was growing up. Sad this movie was likely made for her, and she just didnt realize
This is literaly my favorite scene from the entire movie Mei refusing to let go of her red panda, by doing that she don't just let go of a magical aspect, she let go, of laughing and having so awesome moments with her friends and a lot of other people (children) that can enjoy a giant, flyffy , MAGICAL friend, making others laugh and give so sweet hugs to everyone, defending others from bullies, carry heavy stuff, even FLY , she don't just let go of the panda , she let go of lot of moments in her life, and that the panda whinper at her mean that it loves to be a part of her and don't want to go either , I'm so proud of Mei , this scene also made me cry, from me is chef kiss . ❤🧡
(spoilers)The whole time watching that movie, I'm just like"girl, you can't get rid of that", and at the end, I'm just like "girl, no, no, no." And then she doesn't get rid of, and I'm like, "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
I just watched this movie and I loved it, especially where Mei tries to get rid of her panda self and all her memories of it comes back (sorry if I spelled Mei Mei's name wrong)
She used the panda many times. This is why it’s that difficult. Just if you’re asking why the aunties, the grandma and Ming got the panda off that easily
I love how Sun see looks so heartbroken, but still so stoic, as if to say "It hurts me to see you do this to yourself... but it's your decision, and I'm going to respect that decision, no matter how much I disapprove of it"
The thing I like about this scene is that when Mei realizes that the panda has a good and a bad side, and that she is still human despite all of the struggles she must experience, Mei gives her tail a hug, like she's hugging a pet that she has chosen to adopt.
knowing mei looked back and the panda just looked so sad....brought tears to my eyes right away. It was like the panda was saying "why do u want to do this we had so much fun together, I never hurt you or ur friends..please don't do this"
I will never understand why people hate this movie. It’s probably the most I’ve been excited and effected with a Pixar film in years. And no. It’s not a bad thing to talk about periods and pads with your kids. My class got the talk in fifth grade and I got mine at 10. It’s not shameful to talk about it, especially with your daughters.
She didn't want to let it go she hated it at first and then Mei grew really attach to it she didn't want to give it up seeing how the red panda gave her more confidence and her friends guiding her through it all she was afraid if she lost the red panda she will feel like she lost everything
In the moment she looked back at her red panda, I think all in that moment she realized how much it changed her and and how much she loved the red panda, I'm so glad she kept it Plus, she looks beautiful with her red hair :) Also! This scene made me so emotional, the music and just the whole thing
Eventually Mei almost gets defeated by the antagonist,but due to the power of friendship and some kind of plot armour or some shit,she get back up and defeats the antagonist,sounds like a normal superhero film to me
A little hint about Mei-Mei's ancestor's expression, is that she had seen this a lot of times from her descendants. They have removed a part of themselves because they were seen to be reckless and dangerous if they let their red panda out. She looks a bit disappointed and sad at the same time, she may have seen Mei-Mei grow with her red panda happily, developing self-control and being honest of her emotions. Remember this, her ancestor never have removed her own panda-self because that's a part of her as to protect her loved ones, her own children during the war. They became legends because of her. But now for some reason, they have to seal that away because behaving with such modesty and calmness is more normalized. Society or family, they won't accept what you are or help you out get through from 'growing up'.
That reminds me of my idea for a FNFXTR crossover, where Pico tried to remove his Dino side during the ritual but decides to keep it because the Dino was so scared that it doesn't want to be seperated
The moment Mei looked back and saw the panda whimpering she realised how much it impacted her life. All the happiness it brought to others and allowed to be herself. *I mean, if I had the ability to transform into a 8'4 panda based on emotion...I'd keep it too*

And one day, I told my father how finally this syndrome becomes part of myself, taking it away would be the equivalent of separating myself from what completes my own identity
I feel identified with your text. I have Asperger syndrome too
😌😌😌😌😌😌
I once tried to reject that part of myself, and emptiness and depression followed. I wasn't quirky anymore, but I was now dead inside. I lost my creativity and passion to draw, paint and write. I realized I was a fool and accepted its a part of me.
Just so you know, Asperger's hasn't been used as a term for a while. It's just being autistic. It's harmful because it played into the thoughts of there being functioning labels, which there isn't.

this movie speaks to everyone, not just the target audience, and it's not just about puberty. anyone, man or woman, boy or girl who has been repressed by their parents, who have had unrealistic expectations thrust upon them by their parents. Mei's panda allowed her to express herself in ways she couldn't when she was in human form. the scene here is amazing, especially the unspoken conversation between Mei and her panda.
I love how in the end she chose to be herself :3
yeah
Yes, because she can control it ^^🥀
Yea but she go like weee
I shouldn’t have watching this vid before watching the movie
No she chooses to be a furry
Just want to point out something I didn’t notice the first time: when Mei looked back at the panda and changed her mind, she was already almost out of the portal. If she hadn’t changed her mind at that last second it would’ve been too late. The first time I saw this I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough and thought she hadn’t been able to get through the portal at all, but she actually freed her whole body except for her waist/legs. That’s how close she was to losing the panda for good
...she can still break out that red panda from breaking that amulet thingy that got her panda in it.
@@loafbreadizwholesomeuwu1555 but doesn't it affects when there's red moon?
I think that’s why a lot of people couldn’t get into Turning Red: The stakes are pretty low and the fate of the world wouldn’t be any different whether or not Mei loses her panda.
Most people who watch Pixar movies expect a big baddie that is responsible for everything that happens in said movie… here it’s just family drama and built up generational problems.
It turns out her spirit is sentient
I love the bit where she's so happy to have it back she hugs herself
Mei hugging her tail was adorable
what they could have done is have her physically embrace the spirit of the panda. I'm sorry if i have got this wrong and she actually does, as i'm relying on audio description, as i'm blind, and they can only fit so much description in. I got the idea of Mei working her way through the mirror and looking back at her panda, and the panda looking anguished, and Mei embracing her panda. but did she just remove herself from the mirror, or did she turn to the panda spirit and hug it to her before she lands back in the temple and hugs her panda self?
This movie went in a different direction than I thought it was going to be. I can’t even call it a guilty pleasure. It’s really solid for an adolescence movie. 8.5/10
The way she hugged her tail though 🥺
I'm so proud of Mei that she made the right choice by keeping her red panda form, it's a part of her.
honestly was rooting for Mei to not leave the panda was really happy when she decided to keep it
Everyone’s talking about the memes and soundtrack of the movie. But this..was amazing. the detail in the plants and sky, and the emotion itself. It’s absolutely breathtaking.
Me: Nothing is better then Encanto.
"Watches Turning Red"
Me: Nothing is better then Turning Red.
Both Movies are legendary and amazing
@@Trianglewithaface ok now that is a real *FACT*
@@RED_PANDA1854 Exactly
@@RED_PANDA1854 and I haven't even watched turning red :D but I know its very good
I personally prefer encanto, but this movie is also really good. Also just generally makes me think both involving things inside and outside the movie
I love Turning Red so much guys it is my fav movie at all times. I also love how mei mei is with her friends and family. ❤❤❤
I never thought a Disney movie will be so emotional
And pixel is also on it
Especially modern Disney. I was expecting it to be crap like the rest of their movies. So glad I was wrong.
@@rommix0 bc pixel changed it lol
I glad she chose to keep her power guys I think it's cool she can turn into a red panda!😊👍
i love the fact that she accepted the red panda because it is a part of her life.
Looking back, Mei realizes that she doesn’t HAVE to be perfect all the time. I mean when I was 13, I had some self doubts of my own
I remember my mom saying "So she'll just turn into a giant panda when shes angry?? How can she live like that! Thats not very realistic! Turning into a monster all the time"
She completely missed the point of the fact, growing up means regulating your emotional responses. It means working with your panda. Which explained alot because my mother was super repressive while i was growing up. Sad this movie was likely made for her, and she just didnt realize
I really love this scene. Definitely my favorite scene in the whole movie
God, this scene and it’s music made me feel sad, yet happy. Quite possibly my favorite scene in the movie.
Agreed (and also my favourite track from the soundtrack)
Good Mei kept her panda. She is special and perfect as a girl or panda everyone is amazing just as they are. This movie was brilliant❤❤❤❤❤
This is literaly my favorite scene from the entire movie Mei refusing to let go of her red panda, by doing that she don't just let go of a magical aspect, she let go, of laughing and having so awesome moments with her friends and a lot of other people (children) that can enjoy a giant, flyffy , MAGICAL friend, making others laugh and give so sweet hugs to everyone, defending others from bullies, carry heavy stuff, even FLY , she don't just let go of the panda , she let go of lot of moments in her life, and that the panda whinper at her mean that it loves to be a part of her and don't want to go either , I'm so proud of Mei , this scene also made me cry, from me is chef kiss . ❤🧡
By letting panda go, it will affect her at least for a long run...
Because she core she was a monster and cute funny and she fluffy and I give 👍🏾a thumb-ups 😍🤩 I'm so proud of that turning true monster red panda
And that's cool 😎👌
(spoilers)The whole time watching that movie, I'm just like"girl, you can't get rid of that", and at the end, I'm just like "girl, no, no, no." And then she doesn't get rid of, and I'm like, "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Sameee
I just watched this movie and I loved it, especially where Mei tries to get rid of her panda self and all her memories of it comes back (sorry if I spelled Mei Mei's name wrong)
It’s a flash back but I get what you mean
I cried like a biz 😭💔💗
She used the panda many times.
This is why it’s that difficult.
Just if you’re asking why the aunties, the grandma and Ming got the panda off that easily
I know if she would've used it more it would be been near impossible to let it go
I love how Sun see looks so heartbroken, but still so stoic, as if to say "It hurts me to see you do this to yourself... but it's your decision, and I'm going to respect that decision, no matter how much I disapprove of it"
The thing I like about this scene is that when Mei realizes that the panda has a good and a bad side, and that she is still human despite all of the struggles she must experience, Mei gives her tail a hug, like she's hugging a pet that she has chosen to adopt.
Red Panda: No! I beg of you DON’T leave ME! You NEED ME! DON’T LET THEM DO THIS TO US!
Luckily Mei keeps the Panda THE END.
U JUST TOLD PPL THAT DIDNT SEE IT THE HOLE MOVIE
@@buffcat8207 and she just did that to me
Whoopsies looks like I did a spoiler alert 😂
@@buffcat8207 then why are you watching this??
@@Cloudey-puffo then why are you watching this? Lol
0:37 The red panda whimpering was adorable
This part of the movie always brings a tear to my eye because of the music 🎶
One thing I like is how it accurately tells you that puberty is not just 1 stage it's multiple stages in this scene proves it's also emotionable
The soundtrack in this scene was sick, I LOVE IT ❤
She loves the way she is! She enjoys it!
knowing mei looked back and the panda just looked so sad....brought tears to my eyes right away. It was like the panda was saying "why do u want to do this we had so much fun together, I never hurt you or ur friends..please don't do this"
I personally liked the movie for the Red Pandas
Im so glad she kept the panda 🥰
That's right. Mei Mei found balance.☯️
0:34 this reminds me of venom and Eddie how they need each other to survive and especially on how much venom impacted eddies life
0:36 she had a special bond with her red panda, it didn't want to leave her.
It actually makes sense for Mei to keep her Red Panda form.
Me when mommy tells me to shave and wear clothing
What
Or wax
Ew wtf??? I agree with your mom
I have many questions but
Do people really not wear clothes all the time
bruh what?💀💀
I really loved turning red, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen 👏👏😄
Me too
How can you be yourself when you reject something that is part of yourself?
I will never understand why people hate this movie. It’s probably the most I’ve been excited and effected with a Pixar film in years.
And no. It’s not a bad thing to talk about periods and pads with your kids. My class got the talk in fifth grade and I got mine at 10. It’s not shameful to talk about it, especially with your daughters.
She didn't want to let it go she hated it at first and then Mei grew really attach to it she didn't want to give it up seeing how the red panda gave her more confidence and her friends guiding her through it all she was afraid if she lost the red panda she will feel like she lost everything
and she almost did
Exactly
In the moment she looked back at her red panda, I think all in that moment she realized how much it changed her and and how much she loved the red panda, I'm so glad she kept it
Plus, she looks beautiful with her red hair :)
Also! This scene made me so emotional, the music and just the whole thing
what a movie. Best Pixar movie since Toy Story 3
Agreed. Best Pixar film in 12 years. Yes I do believe the movie will leave more of an impact than Inside Out and Coco.
I'll put Coco and then this movie, best of Pixar in several years
Unlike some other movies.
0:36 the way her panda cries for her
Does anyone else think that the panda has emotions of its own which felt scared of not being embraced for who it was and what it represented?
yes indeed. the panda knows it is part of Mei and Mei is part of it.
I’d love a sequel where Mei takes on a more superhero role with the Panda.
Eventually Mei almost gets defeated by the antagonist,but due to the power of friendship and some kind of plot armour or some shit,she get back up and defeats the antagonist,sounds like a normal superhero film to me
@@KitKitChanIsaac Mei: “4townies, assemble!”
A little hint about Mei-Mei's ancestor's expression, is that she had seen this a lot of times from her descendants. They have removed a part of themselves because they were seen to be reckless and dangerous if they let their red panda out. She looks a bit disappointed and sad at the same time, she may have seen Mei-Mei grow with her red panda happily, developing self-control and being honest of her emotions.
Remember this, her ancestor never have removed her own panda-self because that's a part of her as to protect her loved ones, her own children during the war. They became legends because of her. But now for some reason, they have to seal that away because behaving with such modesty and calmness is more normalized. Society or family, they won't accept what you are or help you out get through from 'growing up'.
i cried so much watching this scene 😭😭😭love yourself and all your messes
0:37 the red panda 🐼 is emotional 😭 when, Mei was trying to let go of her form.
Sun Yee looks pretty sad when Meimei looks at her
The screaming gives me chills cuz you can just FEEL how much mei is in pain
just watched it yesterday and i loved it
Whaaa i thought it release today-
Its out already??
Same
@@bestonetherefr its just out yesterday
This was a really good movie and I enjoyed it very much
That’s why she tried to seal
her panda, but she kept it
She's really beautiful 🥰😍❤️✨
bruh and people hating the movie!? THIS MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME!? Whats their deal anyway
Some dumbass Twitter user made people hate it. It always goes back to Twitter.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Especially 0:43
I had a feeling that her OWN panda started to like her!
I find this scene both sweet/emotional personally
Just watched the movie. It's legendary and even encanto
Im glad she kept it
She is so adorable 🥰
Mufasa: Remember who you are
I like how Mei keep her panda.
That reminds me of my idea for a FNFXTR crossover, where Pico tried to remove his Dino side during the ritual but decides to keep it because the Dino was so scared that it doesn't want to be seperated
Mei mei looks beautiful when she looks into the mirror❤
I would also want to keep a power that made me into a fluffy animal, then it would help me sleep better
I watched this last night it’s soooo good!
If I could turn into a eight foot tall white werewolf I'd keep it too as I wouldn't want to get rid of it.
It seems like Mei really cares about her panda 😢🐼
Boss:so what can you do?
Mei: i can turn into a red panda and im pretty hungry right now
Boss: Youre hired
Im happy she stayed as panda
Thanks for heart :O
