It’s confirmed; Pixar’s Turning Red is premiering exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar in Malaysia on 11 March 2022, just like on Disney+ in the US.

This will be Pixar’s next animated film after 2020’s Soul (check out my review here). It is directed by Domee Shi, who won an Oscar for her 2018 Pixar animated short, Bao (which premiered alongside 2018’s The Incredible 2).

The synopsis reads:

Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red introduces 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. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter; an unfortunate reality for the teenager.

And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda!
