    Turning Red (2022) - 100 mins - PG

    Turning Red introduces Mei Lee, a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, is never far from her daughter--an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationship and body weren't enough, whenever she gets too excited, she "poofs" into a giant red panda!
