i've noticed pixar movies are going into a new age of stories that are extremely personal to the people making the films. they may get more likely to be unrelateable to most but will still tell amazing stories which some can extremely relate to. i actually like the new age of pixar with the experimentation of art style and willingness to delve into topics that some people think younger kids shouldn't talk about (LGBTQ+ in Luca and female puberty in Turning Red).

Oh, that’s so funny, I didn’t know about that anime but that makes sense because earlier today when I was watching the documentary about the process of making the movie I saw that My neighbor Toronto was an alternate title for the movie and I didn’t get it at all because they live in Toronto but Turning Red is such a better title but now it kinda makes sense and totally confirms your theory that they were inspired by that!

That red decoration on the wall is not really a reference but more of a general cultural thing. Upside down character for "luck" is kind of like hanging a horse hoof on the wall.

​@@beeeean The numbers 4 and 9 are both super unlucky in Japan. Four is pronounced "shi," which is the same pronunciation as death. Nine is pronounced "ku," which has the same pronunciation as agony or torture. This is actually the fault of Japanese stealing some of China's numbering systems, since Japan's 4 is "yon", not 'shi', and will be pronounced yon in certain circumstances. There's also liscence plates that have to be specifically requested (will not occur randomly) and are heavily discouraged. For example, 42 and 49 at the end of plates, which are linked to the words for "death (shini 死に)" and "to run over (shiku 轢く)". The full sequences 42-19, (proceeding to death 死に行く) and 42-56 (time to die 死に頃) are also restricted.

As an Asian, I can somehow relate to turning red, looking at the past and up to now. Though the culture differs. Pixar never fails.

12:21 The Astral Realm and Plane are both accessible during astronomical events, that's another interesting detail

Also a super deep cut easter egg that most would not have realized is that the skydome was the actual name for the stadium in Toronto from when the movie takes place, but has since been renamed to the Rogers Centre. People who grew up with it called the skydome still call it that today though even though it was renamed. Also many think that name 4town is a throwback to a Canadian boyband B44 who was popular during that era. Loved seeing my hometown in film though! I screamed everytime I saw a deep cut toronto or canadian reference

Very very good list!

There was a reference that is more specific to Chinese Canadians - the tv right after they showed Jin's cooking, was showing an ancient Chinese television drama presumably from TVB, a Hong Kong television station!

The name 4☆Town is a reference to O-Town. They were popular in the early 2000s which is the time period Turning Red is based in

Here’s another one for you. When Mei and her mom are watching television, you can see the network logo which is based off of Hong Kong’s network “TVB”-the same network Tony Leung and Fala Chen (who played Shang-Chi’s parents) first debuted. The letters used in the logo are “SHI”-Domee’s last name.

This just came out! I’m surprised they found this many Easter eggs this fast

This makes me want to watch this movie again to try to find these Easter eggs. They're so cool.

Turning red’s message feels like a mix of Luca and Encanto. Exploring yourself and growing older and more independent comes from Luca and the intergenerational trauma of each daughter in turning red carrying the burden of trying to be perfect is inspired by Encanto.

10:38 i think the blue jay has more of a reference from the short "dug days" on disney plus, this is because in one of the episodes carl fredrickson or Mr. fredrickson made a bird feeder and a blue jay was trying to eat some of the bird seeds but scared away by a squirrel and the squirrel eats the bird seeds instead

The Toronto syline is a nod to the Sailor Moon anime backgrounds. The teeths of the young female characters and the panda itself resemble Studio Ghibli's Totoro and other productions.

The creators said in the making of turning red that the eyes were because when they were teenagers they were very into anime and that sort of thing not “adolescence”

@FlicksAndTheCity

2 жыл бұрын

You're right, writer-director Domee Shi is really into anime and that influenced the film immensely, including those eyes. Shi has also said that animating the eyes that way in Turning Red felt perfect because the film's about an adolescent girl who's on an emotional rollercoaster, which is why in the video I mentioned both anime and adolescence when I talk about the eyes being animated like that. Hope that clears things up! :-)

In the intro of the movie, there is a shot where a teacher is in their office describing Mei at their desk, and on a bookshelf, you can see a white polar bear wearing a blue jersey with a maple leaf in the center, a clear reference to Carleton the bear, the mascot of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. There is also weirdly for a Canadian set movie, a poster for the 1980 Olympics, known as “the miracle on ice” (there is also a movie about it) where the USA beat the Soviet Union in the gold medal game. As a hockey fan I found these very interesting references to see in a pixar movie
