Meilin Lee, the protagonist of <em>Turning Red<\/em>, transforms into a giant red panda. Here is the film&#8217;s official synopsis: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Growing up is a beast. Check out the new trailer for the upcoming all-new original feature film \u201cTurning Red\u201d from Pixar Animation Studios\u2019 director Domee Shi, who won an Oscar\u00ae for her 2018 short film, \u201cBao.\u201d Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly \u201cpoofs\u201d into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee\u2019s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter\u2014an unfortunate reality for the teenager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As the teaser shows, it&#8217;s not excitement that leads Mei to change, but a mortifying incident, courtesy of her mother. As awesome as the panda is, Mei&#8217;s human design is so endearing and adorable. She&#8217;s perfectly round. Her hat and glasses complement the shape and add to the appealing quality of her design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-1024x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upcomingpixar.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/upcomingpixar.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/upcomingpixar.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/upcomingpixar.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-1536x834.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/upcomingpixar.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Mei-1-2048x1113.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other highlights from the trailer are the bright colors and fluffy clouds.
