More about Turning Red:

Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.

Starring: Sandra Oh, Rosalie Chiang, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, James Hong, Wai Ching Ho, Finneas, and Jordan Fisher
