[mdmost 43004]

Girl turns into a giant red panda....okay. By the director of the animated short, Bao.

An Asian girl turns red?  Commie propaganda.

Bao snuck up on me.  Really liked it.  But my kids have just about outgrown these kids of movies, so I'll likely miss this one.

Yeah I really don't know what the point of this one is...sometimes that makes it a surprise(like Wall-E), sometimes it doesn't hit it's mark(Like Soul for me)

You didn’t like soul? I thought it was well thought out and really good.

I just feel it didn't quite deliver.  Not a bad movie. MUCH preferred Inside/Out with similar themes.

It felt flat.

 

I was surprised Luca, that turned out to be pretty good.

Toddler is on to enjoying this movie right now, which is giving me a break from Frozen, Encanto, and Moana. I actually think I like this one a lot. The intro sequence is great. The song is great - actually catchy and a great version of a 2000s boy band hit. Apparently Billy Eillish is a writer for the music, that bolsters my opinion that she is a legit talent. I don’t know enough about Chinese-American (er, Canadian) culture to feel how true everything rings. Ultimately a good story about coming of age, discovering who you are, and being your authentic self in a world where it’s not always easy or what’s expected.
