Quote: “Who are these hip-hoppers? And why are they called ‘4-Town’ if there are five of them?”- Ming Lee

Fun Facts: Like Soul and Luca, the movie was supposed to be released in theaters, but went straight to Disney Plus.

There are some controversy between parents because the movie is a metaphor for girls getting their period.

The Pixar ball can be seen in Tyler’s pool at his party.

The book Priya is reading pays homage to the ‘Twilight’ series.

Ming refuses to let Mei go to the 4-Town concert, partly because in real life, Four sounds simular to death in chinese.

Summary: A canadian-chinese 13 year old wakes up one day to find she turns into a red panda whenever she gets excited.

The One Liner Review: With the new direction Pixar is going into, this is a great metaphor of puberty (which sounds a little weird considering it’s a family film).
