A review posted on website CinemaBlend of Disney-Pixar’s new animated film Turning Red was pulled Tuesday, after some readers lambasted it for ignoring the cultural experience of its creator — and the film’s cast argued that it very much depicts a universal experience.
The film, which premieres on Friday, is directed and co-written by Canadian animator Domee Shi and will be Pixar’s first feature-length film directed by an Asian woman. The movie follows the story of Meilin (Mei) Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese Canadian girl living in Toronto who discovers she has the ability to turn into a giant red panda.
