'Turning Red' review: Joyous, funny coming-of-age tale that is one of Pixar's best

Meet Meilin Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian student who has been called ‘mildly annoying’, ‘very enterprising’, ‘a major weirdo’ and ‘an over achieving dork’, and she doesn’t care. In fact, as she says, she accepts and embraces all labels. She wears what she wants, say what she wants, 24/7, 365, and that’s the way she likes it.

Meilin (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) and her best friends Miriam (Ava Morse), Priya (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Abby (Hyein Par) are also huge fans of boyband 4*Town, and would give anything to watch them in concert. The only problem is, her overprotective mother Ming (Sandra Oh) would never give her permission to do so.
