Turning Red: 3 and 1/4 stars out of 4.

OK, I'm clearly not the target demo for this film but there are enough elements that resonate. It loses a bit of luster since we've seen this kind of story and lesson before in other films. Hell, Pixar pretty much did it with Finding Nemo. The catch is it's done in a fun way that lets it stand on its own. There are some legit funny moments in this and it's good to see Pixar continue with these kinds of small scale stories. The side characters are great, especially the circle of friends of the lead. There's at least one of those kinds of people in everyone's group. I don't think it needed the climax that it had but it's fine. It still doesn't crack the top five as far as Pixar films go but worth a watch.
