I remember my parents telling me when I went through puberty: It's ok to be frustrated and moody etc., we get that. But it will never be acceptable you not showing us the respect we deserve. ... They showed me respect by that, so I respected them. Never felt the need to rebel. I was grateful. I don't know, I just don't see that portrayed in movies very often anymore.

The only Pixar movie that matters is Wall-E, as it predicts quite accurately, that if consumerism and entertainment remains the focus of society, we will eventually suffer deep consequences.

The last line from the girl to her mother is "Mom, my panda, my choice!" She gives her mom a side smile and walks away. There is definitely a message.

I’m a republican. Why do people care what a conservative thinks of this show. Bro this a regular movie. If you think the message of this movie is anything rather than a kid who loves her mom but wants her to know she’s not perfect and be okay with it that’s fine. ITS CALLED GROWING UP. Your parents don’t want you to drink yet kids go away to school and what do they do…drink. Bro this a movie stop making everything so political. If you a parent and a movie bothers you like this grow up. You just as bad as the woke left.

It's kind of interesting - in a horrified, watching a train wreck kind of way - to see Disney systematically dismantling the very foundation their entire company is built on. That being the family.

Full review below

Here are a few more additional details I caught from watching the movie. (I took notes throughout the movie from start to finish listed below)

* First 3 minutes of the movie begins with deeming the importance and honoring of families.
* Her friends' says she is "brainwashed" because she enjoys helping her family clean their home and their family business, instead of whining about it like her friends do their chores....
* Movie depicts all older adult females / mom's grandmothers as overly controlling, harsh, critical, controlive nag, who also belittle their husband and daughter in front of others without care.
* The husband is cast as a weak pushover who won't/can't stand up for himself or for his daughter to the mom.
* Main character talking with friends encourages her friends to go to the boy band concert and 'Go and become women without me Heres the transcript "This isn't just our first concert. This is our first step into womanhood. And we have to do it together. I'm in, girl. We'll say it's a sleepover at my house. (GASPS) The perfect crime. Yes! My mom will never know. Now we just got to raise the money for tickets."

* Main character and her friend continually lie and deceive their parents throughout the entire movie, ( To many instances to name)
* Disobedience to Parents is placed in juxtaposition to womanhood. They are pitted against each other that you only get to have one position. Either being a real "woman" or being a subservaient slave to your parents.

Sexual References are listed thorughout the Movie. ( At first I thought to myself I was overthinking these references... Surely they didn't mean it that way... I even began to think it was my mind in the gutter instead of their film... But the reality is there are FAR too many obvious phrases, instances, and situations to say these are all coincidental... Here are a few examples:

* 13 year old girls are depicted throughout the movie as overly sexual in nature continually thinking about boys with their shirts off, drawing innapropriate pictures of them. ( Comfort and security is often depicted as being in the embrace of one of these boy band members, or her boy crush she drew pictures of)
* She hid under her bed and in a flurry drew tons of pictures about this boy she was day dreaming about.
* The Mom finds her sketch notebook of all the pictures she drew regarding this boy, and while we don't see the pictures, The mom is red-faced and embarrassed looking through the sketch book, turning the book all sorts of ways, then sideways, and even upside down at these sketches the daughter drew.... What kind of sketches of her and him need to be viewed at different angles?
* Mei the main character devises a plan to) to "Use her panda and "Hustle and squeeze every last penny out of these kids" - In essence she turns into a panda against her parents wishes, and uses her body to hustle money from kids.
* She earns money from kids at school by doing pictures, selfies, and videos of herself for kids at school who will pay for them. ( To clarify these pictures are of herself in the panda form)* While she is in the room "raising money" from paying students her friends keep watch out in the hallway watching for teachers.
* Disney what is this promoting and teaching to young girls? She is literally selling selfies, pictures, and videos of herself as an alter ego of herself to strangers at school who are willing to pay.... against her parents wishes, in a room she is not suppose to be in, hiding out from school staff.... all the while raising money to go to a boy band concert that her parents said she wasn't allowed to go
* Mei is essentially blackmailed by a boy student threatening to show her Panda pictures to her mom. He says "I wonder if your mom knows you've been flaunting your panda all over school."
He then threatens to show her mom the pictures unless she does what he wants. What does he want? He wants her to come to his coed party as the panda.
* She gives into the blackmail but on the condition that he pays her. ( She and her friends are $100 short of enough money to buy the boy band tickets, for the concert they are forbidden to go to....) She says she'll do it if he pays her the $100 dollars.... Then ups her price to $200. The boy agrees to give her 200 cash for her presence at the party. She then says ... "But you only get the Panda for an hour"
*This Party is late at night (10PM if i remember, there are no parents present, and she literally is the entertainment. This involves dancing, as well as giving kids rides around the yard on her back)
*While still at the party Mei the panda is taking a break, and the boy who paid her the $200 to be there is calling for her trying to find her. Mei's friends see him searching for her and say "Dang... He is working you" Someone says: "What a diva!" Then Mei says "It'll all be worth

Again what is this teaching our children? If you take a step back and look at the principles being taught on the screen it is not a far reach to see this as the epitomy of sexual grooming. She is selling herself to strangers the entertainment at a party for $200 telling herself to get through the night because "it will be worth it later"

*At the end Mei is walking out of her house in clothing her mom disapproves of "Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!" Hold on. You're not going out like that, are you? says the mom.... (Mei SCOFFS) "My panda, my choice, Mom." If your wondering She doesn't go change, but instead leaves with her friends...."

The movie ends with this line from Mei - We've all got an inner beast. - (MING SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) MEILIN: We've all got a messy, loud, weird part of ourselves hidden away. And a lot of us never let it out. But I did. How about you?

PS: If you think I am over exaggerating about this movie or not concerned regarding the elements above that's fine this review is not for you. However if you are alarmed about these comments I would advise against having your children watch this movie, unless it is to watch with your older teens expressly for the purpose of watching it with them and pausing it every few minutes to have a discussion with your teens about what is being promoted in this movie and how it is being pushed on them.

My 5 year old likes this movie but the take away that she has gotten is she has the choice to do what she wants with her things. She stated to me multiple times in the last week, "My clothes, my choice." or "My room, my choice." Not a fan of that at all.

[cim]

The fact that you haven't nor plan to watch this movie then push someone else's narrative has made you lose credibility. Also The incredibles definitely isn't a 5-6 yo movie from Pixar.

[lenadoerrer]

Go check out “The Adam Project.”
The main character is twelve and is absolutely awful and treats his mother horribly, and is visited by his future self, teaching him to respect his mother. It’s great!

[Xeacons]

Instead of letter her mom help her cope with her “curse”, Mei has the typical teenager “no one understands me, this is me” attitude. Problem is the movie sides with Mei who embraces what is essentially a temporary problem as her permanent identity, and ignores the fact that her mother suffered through it as well.

Every time Hollywood makes a a woke movie like this, I want to write a flip-script. Similar scenario, but opposite moral.

[robinstuyvesant]

While Matt may have a point, I sort of lost interest when he admitted to not viewing the movie and justifying his comments via others opinions.

[dawnmichelle]

Pixar's movies aren't always for little kids. I'm thinking of The Incredibles, which was definitely for an older audience.

[OokamiKageGinGetsu]

Sorry, 13 is not "coming of age, " no matter how hard they try to push the idea. Coming of age stories are things like The Outsiders, something involving youth in their late teens. Thirteen is still a child.

[joykranich]

Not to mention the propaganda. It ends with them saying “my panda, my choice.” 🙄 I like Disney on occasion. We like the old stuff. But my seven year old son even agreed that it was inappropriate. He has good discernment.

[ricovargas]

Thanks Matt. I'll make sure my kids don't watch this and have them watch Carrie instead, a much more wholesome female coming of age story.

[MPE]

How can you review a movie without watching it? My wife and I enjoyed it. As an American of Asian descent, I understood the strict obedience expected by my parents. As a woman, my wife could relate to the change a girl goes through at that age.
There was no leftist agenda here. It was a good, coming of age movie.

[nboy]

My biggest issue with the film is that its more something that youd expect from say Dreamworks, rather than Pixar. Just not Pixar quality, neither was Luca. Disney has kinda destroyed what Pixar used to be.

[francissiu]

Watched it. It was infuriating that the kid says 13 years old I can do anything. Yeah I was still watching cartoons and playing video games without any worries. My mum cooked me meals which were delicious. Learning to appreciate your parents is something that should be taught. Being a parent isn't easy.

[youdidwhat]

Y’all should give the movie a chance. Mei was in a TOXIC relationship with her mother, not a healthy one. Mei is not just a rebellious child going against her loving mothers wishes- she feels smothered and the need to be perfect. If you have a healthy relationship with your child, then you shouldn’t feel intimidated by the notion that your children can be both your child and their own person.

[Animejunkie]

"I haven't seen the movie."

"I don't plan on seeing it."

Yet I will give my opinion on it.
