Review of Turning Red (2022) by Zodwraith — 12 May 2022

I'd heard bad things about this movie but good Lord I didn't expect it to be THIS bad. I have to stop and think about anything positive I could possibly say about this diaper dumpster fire. There was maybe twice in the entire movie I smiled so there's that. Absolute Teen Wolf rip off. Otherwise I can't figure out who this movie was made for. Massive Asian stereotypes. If you're male you're going to pull a muscle with how many times you're going to cringe. If you're between 15 and 105 you're going to be aghast that this script was ever green lit. There is no chance in hell 90% of these positive reviews aren't Disney paid reviews. (Look up the 10/10 reviews and they're obviously fakes.) What mentally defunct executive sees a 13yr old girl twerking in front of her mom and thinks "kids movie"?!?! Twerking LITERALLY means "I want a you to f*** me in the a**.

Story: All adults are stupid and only the children "get it." The only coming of age trope cliche that wasn't used was SHE NEVER EVEN LEARNED ANYTHING. She decides she really is so much smarter than all the adults and decides to stay a panda. Also, boy bands are SOOO sweet and ANY price is not too high to go to a concert. There was nothing learned here in any way, shape, or form. You need to tiptoe just so you don't fall into any of the massive plot holes.

This is absolutely a show teen girls SHOULDN'T be watching cause it tells them they're right, your priorities should be about boys, instant gratification, and everyone else is clueless.

It's really sad how far Pixar has fallen. I thought they'd hit rock bottom but with this it's apparent they started digging a hole. The animation was sub-90s Nickelodeon quality and the art style has less effort put into it than a laxative commercial with bean mouths and heads. This surpasses bad, passes "so bad it's good", and reaches so bad no one should watch it even to laugh at it.

I can't imagine anything being worse this entire decade and we're only in 2022.
