Activate Red Panda Mode When Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red Bursts onto Digital April 26
and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD May 3
Are you looking for a fun movie to watch tonight or this weekend for your family movie-night? If you haven't seen it already on Disney+, or even if you have, I highly recommend watching Turning Red with your family. We watched this movie when it first released to Disney+, but have been eagerly awaiting for the digital release of this movie, so that they can watch this at their grandparents who don't have Disney+, as well as enjoy all the super fun and cool bonus content including deleted scenes, featurettes and more.
Don't worry I am not going to bore you with an in-depth review of the movie, as you have probably already seen the trailer or snippets here and there thanks to your kids. My girls started watching the trailer over and over again when it first released, and already had many of the songs memorized before we watched the movie for the first time. And, once we saw the movie, they both had all the dialogue down and were reciting the lines for the second and consecutive viewings. Instead, I wanted to take this time to share the movie trailer in case you haven't seen it and are looking for a new movie to share with your whole family this weekend, as well as make you aware of the great never been seen bonus content you get when you buy the Digital version of Turning Red, which is available now, and will be hitting store shelves on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on May 3rd. And, if you have Disney+, you can view Turning Red now, too!
Here is more about Turning Red, including all the information about the bonus content and the official movie trailer. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this hit movie that is a favorite in our house. We are planning to watch it again tonight, and I expect a few impromptu dance parties and sing-alongs to break out. Can't wait!

Film
Synopsis
In Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red, confident, dorky 13-year-old Mei must balance being a dutiful daughter with the chaos of adolescence. Her slightly overbearing mom is never far from her daughter. And, as if changes to Mei’s interests, relationships and body aren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited, she “poofs” into a giant red panda!
Bonus Features*
● Audio Commentary – View the film with audio commentary by director Domee Shi, producer Lindsey Collins, and director of photography Mahyar Abousaeedi.
● Featurettes
○ Life of a Shot – Domee Shi and members of the crew describe the many-layered process and artistry involved in creating the hilarious Red Peony scene – from observing red pandas in a zoo to creating a storyboard to finalizing the animation and background lighting.
○ Build Your Own Boy Band – Step backstage to learn how 4*TOWN came to animated life. From creating each band member’s persona to writing and producing the songs to fine-tuning the details of their stadium performance, the filmmakers reveal how they designed the ultimate boy band.
○ Ani-Mei-Tion – Because Mei’s heightened emotionality is central to the story, it was important that her look and movement reflect that energy. Learn how Domee Shi led the animation team to incorporate hints of expressive anime to create Mei’s lovable, dynamic character.

○ Intro Meilin – In this alternate opening, Ming and young Mei have their portrait taken in a studio…but Ming has her own specific vision for the photo.

○ The Debate – Mei runs for class president against frenemy Tyler, and the speeches get a little out of hand.
○ Fei And Christina Hang – Mei (formerly Fei) shares a banana split while having a heart-to-heart with Aunt Christina.
○ 4*TOWN Dilemma – Mei scores tickets to her dream concert, but her strict mother won't let her out of the house. What will she do?
○ Roping In Leo – Pleading with Leo for help with getting out of trouble, Mei learns a couple of his closely guarded secrets.
