Turning Red marks the feature directorial debut of Domee Shi, who previously won an Academy Award for her work on the Pixar short Bao. Set in Toronto, Shi's hometown, the film follows Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a "confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence." While her mother (voiced by Sandra Oh) looms, Mei discovers that, along with all the other changes that come with being a teenager, she also has the power to change into a giant red panda when she gets too excited. As one might imagine, it gets a little awkward.

Thirteen year old Mei is experiencing the awkwardness of being a teenager with a twist – when she gets too excited, she transforms into a giant red panda.
