Great film! I really appreciated the way they tackled the more “taboo” subjects. Also, Mei has the best group of friends ever! Everyone deserves friends like them.
So true!
I love this film, also despite our protagonist being Asian-Canadian I relate to her a lot as a Hispanic living in America; The boy craziness, going through puberty, having good friends, and even generational trauma(my grandfather wasn't the best parent to my dad so he never knew how to love us or show us affection properly besides being our playmate when we were little)
Awww Yes, it did have a story that a lot of us could relate to! 🤗❤️
You are walking sunshine, Maureen! Thank you for the great reactions!
Thank you and you are welcome!
I am obsessed with this movie. Mei tells herself I do what I want, say what I want 24/7 365. In reality though, she is subsumed by her Mother's dreams for her. She rarely seems to be able to see her friends outside of school, she feels obliged to perform temple duties and Mei is perfectly happy to accept this at first as she loves spending time with her Mom and is almost a 'mini me' of her Mom. When puberty kicks in though, she starts to realise how unreasonable and suffocatingly vigilant her Mom is over her. The concert, possibly the first thing Mei has asked for something for herself she really wants, is shut down by her Mom, no willingness to compromise such as attending the concert with a responsible older person or an adult. To be clear, there is no right or wrong here though. Ming is correct to be worried what might happen and we see how dangerous the Panda can be when she attacks Tyler. Ming won't see or accept the changes in Mei and her strictness pushes her daughter further and further away from her. A beautiful movie. Endlessly quotable lines, memorable moments, laugh out loud, poignant and utterly heartbreaking scenes. A ridiculously good animated movie...one of Pixar's best ever.
I really enjoyed it as well! You are right about there is no right or wrong here.
lovely reaction! really enjoy your gentle, empathetic reactions and how you sprinkle in your own insights. Your daughter is very lucky to have you as a mum xo
Thank you :)
One thing I don't see commented on is the theory that Tyler is gay, and that's why he's a bully. Bullies do what they do because they don't like themselves and/or come from homes where they aren't supported. His love of a boyband doesn't mean he's gay, of course. That line, "I love you, man!" could just mean he loves him as a fan, so I don't read too much into that. Idk, what do you all think?
A lot of people go with the idea of him crushing on Mei first, but I've always thought this was more likely! There's never really any indication that he likes Mei at all, but we see many instances of him being insecure of himself and who he really is. His tough bully act is always easy to crack, and you can tell he's very nervous and sensitive on the inside, hence his desire to be seen a certain way to avoid being picked on. He even targets Mei, who is openly, happily herself in the face of blatant mockery, to deflect from his own insecurities because she has something he doesn't. It's a common narrative among young LGBT kids who have only really been exposed to the concept through their bigoted peers.
I think the most obvious hint is that this all culminates in him being revealed to enjoy a boy band, which is traditionally seen as a very "unmanly" thing to enjoy. And like you pointed out, it's also easy to view his interest in 4Town as the same sort of puppy crush that Mei has. I think he's overall just supposed to read as a growing boy who doesn't know how to handle his unconventional interests, but I do think there is some intentional LGBT coding there, even if it's only for a small subset of the audience to pick up on.
I love your Pixar reactions ❤
Thank you!
I like this movie but the second hand embarrassment is real and it hurts.
I subscribed!!
Turning Red is such a great comfort movie ✨
I can see you're a fellow Canuck! Where in Canada are you from? I'm from the Toronto area, and you're correct, there is a fantastic China town here :)
West Coast!
@@ScreenMaureen thought so! 🙂
I’m really enjoying this from Winnipeg as well!(Except I was just born when the movie takes place)
West Coast too! 😊
Hi Maureen! I have really enjoyed your reaction videos and am glad to have stumbled upon your account. They bring me a lot of peace and it is a joy to react alongside you. If you so please, I highly recommend reacting to the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, if you'd like. It touches upon generational trauma, mental health, and mother daughter dynamics just like in Turning Red except in a more comedic yet in depth way. Be warned it is a lot heavier than an animated movie, but I feel everyone should watch the film regardless. Anyhow, thanks for the wonderful reaction videos!
Here's my request for you to watch and react. It's about a Chinese man who visits a small western town and helps prevent the residents from a dark future through his magical circus. It's the 1964 fantasy film "7 Faces of Dr. Lao" and Tony Randall plays seven characters, including Dr. Lao.
Would love to see your take on some of the Marvel movies. Captain America the first avenger would be a fun vintage one.
Finding Nemo and Finding Dory next :)
I did see Finding Nemo but not Finding Dory. Will add it to my long list! 😊
@@ScreenMaureen oooh exciting, thank you so much, looking forward to your reaction :)
Please watch wall-e

Is it just me or does she look like That Vegan Teacher?
no way, Maureen exudes love and light and a good sense of humor- that vegan teacher is at the very opposite spectrum of her- hateful and mean lady!
@@rebeccagibbs4128 I know she's a very nice lady she just looks a bit like that vegan
