I sent a screen cap of the "Too Many Turbans and Hijabs" to someone yesterday. Couldn't even begin to respond to how ridiculous it was. It's absolutely fine to dislike this movie, it's fine to write a negative. The number of reviews that boiled down disliking an accurate depiction of Toronto of disliking a female protagonist makes me doubt every negative review.
This year has increasingly been significantly more toxic with people justifying blatant homophobia, sexism, racism etc by saying it's "woke". People looked at a black lead actors like Nope and bashed it as "woke" automatically based off that alone. It's sad how we're taking a dip in society with these incel elitist degenerates and make what they say seem just and reasonable. It's the world we live in 🤷
"You're a teenager that's why." OH MY GOD AN ADULT WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A TEENAGER. "13 year olds don't draw, read or write fanfic" what the hell are these adults TALKING about?
GENUINELY! Like I started on Wattpad when I was like 14, and that’s the same for a lot of my friends, and hearing people say that teenagers don’t act like this was the biggest load of bullshit I ever heard about this movie
Most people who are hating on this film just don’t get it. They’re mad at the “suggestive” themes and calling it a “kids movie”. Just because it’s Disney, does not mean it’s aimed at only kids. This film’s target audience is clearly for the girls who went through a typical, awkward teenhood. I also appreciate how realistic it is and they used the red panda as a metaphor for puberty.
It is a kids movie, but maybe not in a classical sense where it is a fantastical adventure devoid of bodily functions. The shines light on a lot of things that kids (especially young girls) will go through from age 10 and up and it's an amazing conversation starter. I do not get the people who don't want girls to know about periods and sexuality before it happens, because it will be the norm for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the horror when you first get your period, bleeding without knowing why is terrifying.
The whole Disney brand is a family brand, not just kids. There ARE going to be more mature themes. I mean In almost every Disney movie there’s a hidden adult joke. A family does consists of adults not just kids. I’m not sure what ppl don’t understand about that.
yeah !! i find it funny how some people (on social media) seem to think it's weird that he became a part of the group in the end. like i remember how when i was a kid, someone who teased me one day could be a friend the next week. kids just be like that hahah
To think that some people are shitting on this movie because of "cheap" animation or cultural reasons, but I enjoyed every second of this movie. Makes me wish my teenage years were more enjoyable.
I can’t take them seriously because they the same ones praising Luca, that movie looked like claymation from 1992. They can have several seats with their opinion of what is good animation.
me: tyler can be straight and still like boy bands cause that has nothing to do with someone's sexuality. tyler is his own person with his own likes and dislikes and he really came around at the last part of the movie. also me: OMG GET IT KWEEN I KNEW IT HE WAS FRUITYYYY ✨💅
the thing I like is that mei does have a good relationship with her mother, it does seem like they're as much friends as they are mother and daughter which is nice to see. And mei seems to love and appreciate her heritage and the temple, its very sweet to see
Me as well! I feel in many coming of age stories the character is either alienated from their family, or they suffer. So I am glad they can show a realistic, and healthy relationship. Growing up and growing apart from your parents doesn’t have to mean it’s the end or you hate eachother! And I’m glad they show that rift in the different generations, like how mei is closer to her mom than her mom and grandmother are. Also I’m so glad they allow her to appreciate her heritage; many shows have characters “revel” and completely abandon or hate where they come from- which can work- but many people grow up to still love their culture, religion or practices.
This is the first reaction I've seen so far where someone has acted the right amount of horrified at the mom showing Devon the drawings, everyone else seems to brush over it.
Those who claimed that this film is bad are grown people (mostly white men) who are mad that they couldn't relate to an asian girl going through puberty. 😆
When her mum pulled out her drawings at Daisy Mart lord. I would have died. I got emotional at the last part too cuz I know damn well I’m not getting a sorry. 😭 Loved your reaction as always. 😄
I was really salty because I couldn’t even blame her, like why is their drawings of you and my 13 yr old daughter? She came in the store with a purpose 🤣🤣🤣
I think Mings panda was the biggest bc she had been ignoring her feelings more than anyone else in her family and they started building up inside her and when she finally turned into a panda all those piled up feelings were channeled into her size so basically the more emotions, the bigger the panda
@@sophiam.krager3815 Yes because she's always been trying to be perfect for her mother and ignoring her feelings and when she first got the panda that translated in size and she hurt her mom
@@sophiam.krager3815 Im not just talking abt her as an adult, I'm talking in general bc we see her as a teenager talking abt how she's tired of trying to be perfect
I agree, and maybe it's a comment on that generation that was on the cusp of greater freedom, slightly more Liberal ourlooks but were still beholden to the stricter aspects of their culture. Whereas Mei kind of gets the benefit of not struggling the way her mother did, because a new way is possible, you can modernise and take what you like about your culture as you move through life without losing your individuality.
@@missjoannaofyeetyoink My thought on her size is that it's just variation. Look at the others. The panda is a double-metaphor, both for puberty in general (changing) and being a _red_ panda as a metaphor for _periods._ Women have different periods. Some are more intense than others, some less. Some get them _so_ bad that without medication to treat it, they'd be _hospitalized._ Ming's panda wasn't big because she _suppressed_ her emotions, it was big _genetically,_ something that (thankfully) _didn't_ hit her daughter the same way. Where the grandmother or aunties could _potentially_ have kept their pandas, Ming... couldn't. From a sort of 'real-world' perspective, either her period is out of control and dangerous to her, _or_ her hormones are out of control giving her an emotion regulation issue (likely anger). These things _do_ happen in ways that has _nothing_ to do with being 'repressed'. Sometimes body or brain chemistry is just... messed. From the 'movie-world' perspective, Ming _really_ couldn't keep her panda! If she ever changed _inside_ a _building,_ well everyone in the _room_ with her is dead, and if the transformation is _strong_ enough she might destroy _the whole building,_ killing _everyone else_ as well, and all with a side-effect of possibly killing Ming in a couple ways (crushed in a room that is too small for her, or having hundreds of tons of building collapse on her).
Also the reason why they hate the number 4 is cultural. Because the way the that it's pronounced sounds like death. So they avoid having things in 4's cuz its considered bad luck.
the animation style of this movie is so cute and unique! those critics are just looking for a reason to hate it 💅🏻 btw I haven’t seen the movie myself and straight up went for your reaction cuz I can’t resist 😭
Im so glad you brought up that stupid point critics were trying to say that it was "only for a certain demographic" and "isnt meant for general audiences" because they NEVER say that shit about stories that are about boys going through puberty or boys having "coming of age" stories in movies, they NEVER say that about them because they consider those to be universal. But the moment women get a coming of age story that talks about puberty in a movie, suddenly it "isnt universal enough". Us girls and women have been able to enjoy coming of age stories about boys/men without being able to relate to them as the same sex/gender for YEARS, these people need to shut their mouths.
This reaction had me dying lmao 💀💀💀 Also just to pop in that 4 is unlucky in many East Asian countries because its pronunciation is very close to "death" - so in Cantonese both "four" and "death" is "sei" but with different tones. Part of the reason as to why homes and apartments around East Asia sometimes skip numbers with 4 in them - elevators and buildings will even sometimes skip Floor 4 and it'll go from Floor 3 to Floor 5.
Im actually super obsessed with this movie. The character's are enjoyable, the humor is on point, the serious parts are on point. Sure, I physically cant relate to the 'Girl problems', but I enjoyed it all the way through. 8.5/10
Omg I just realized that Devon is also at the concert with a disposable camera lmao! He’s also a 4townie 😂 27:02! I love your reaction! You are so funny ❤️
I love how he called Tae-Young (the Korean boy in 4-Town) Jimin, lmaooo. and fun fact all the songs that 4-Town sing are written by Billie Eilish & Her Brother, Finneas and Finneas actually voices the member Jesse and 4-Town were inspired by 1990s and 2000s bands like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Westlife, 98 Degrees, & O-Town and the director said that Tae-Young was inspired by Jimin (from BTS) so you're right about calling him Jimin
One thing I love that someone pointed out yesterday is that at the end when the friends visit the temple, Tyler is also wearing one of the friendship bracelets that the others are all wearing!
One thing I learned from watching reviews for this movie is that "The Aunties" are more universal in so many more culture than most people think and its great. Also grandma said 4 is the worst number because in chinese when you say 4 it also sounds like "to die".
i only just realiseed this, but i think i know why Mei's mum is so much bigger than the others. The grandma said earlier that the more you use your panda, the stronger it will get. Near the end of the film, we see a younger version of Ming in what i like to call the 'Ritual Relm'. She's clearly very self-conscious and insecure about how she never felt good enough for her mother. Maybe she used her panda a lot to try and feel more comfortable as herself. And the more she used it, the stronger and more powerful her panda became.
Interesting, I took it as she didn’t try ti use it, and that she suppressed it, and lost control of the levels, and power. Especially since she hurt her mother when she was younger. It could go either way.
You're definetley my face reactor on youtube, I usually don't watch reactions of things I haven't watched or interested in watching but I just watch for you at this point. Love me some good Chuuzus!
I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie. It was weird and really out there, and that's what I liked about it. I really enjoy when animated projects that don't shy away from family problems, teenage drama or social issues. The characters, animation and voice acting were all done very well. They did a good job of showing how scary changing and growing up can be, but it happens for a reason. But like any other Disney movie, the problem is mostly resolved to quickly. Forgiving and moving on is important, but its not easy (like they make it seem in their movies). Ming did the exact same thing to Mei that her mother did to her - and she didn't see that? If nothing is ever going to be good enough, you shouldn't push a child to be perfect. Healing can happen...but it takes time. (Ming shouldn't need to apologize. She may have given her mother that scar, but it was Wu's controlling and overbearing nature that caused such an act.) People may call the portrayal of Chinese culture in this movie racist or stereotypical; but it isn't if its all fact. Most families of Asian cultures are very controlling and pass that toxic quirk to their children. Parents shouldn't push their desires onto their children, because than the children never get to live their own lives. If your kids rebel, its most likely because you're refusing to listen to them. If there's a sequel, I seriously hope that Disney doesn't tone down the problems and issues of growing up.
I watched it last night and loved it! It reminded me of my adolescence and that time when my mom and I hated each other, lol! I wanted so much to be perfect up till I was around 13, 14 and at that point my mom and I were enemies until I was around 18 when I left for college. Adolescence is complicated and this movie so encapsulated that
Your video posted AND Zzavid posting Creep 2 made this otherwise crappy day a day that let me forget about the stressors for a bit and allowed me to escape in your fun videos again. You had me cracking up laughing as always. Btw I always watch your videos and Zzavid back to back because you are seriously my absolute favorites. Thank you again for another fun filled video. You had me laughing and forgetting about the negative things and stressful things I have had to endure. Thanks so much again as always for creating such uplifting content. It is something I seriously look forward to each week. ❤😸🙂😸❤
The Mother's Panda is that big because of how repressed she is. It's in direct relation to how much intense emotion she has been suppressing for so long.
I love this film. They should make a sequel. I think when Mei says that I'm scared it'll take me away from you, maybe another ancestor is the enemy of sun yee. He'd betray sun yee and captures red pandas and kills them offscreen. Say like sun yee defeated him but his soul is in the treasure chest and I think Mei would have found it in the temple and accidentally opened it and he's free. So I think Mei would have been his target and captured her. Ming, her grandmother, her aunties, and Mei's friends would have sacrificed their lives to save Mei. Then when her friends and family get injured or knocked out, its mei's turn for hers to turn big and invincible to defeat him and save the day.
A movie about friendship, pressure (by others and yourself), breaking generational trauma, and learning to love the things you can't control about yourself. THAT'S MY MOVIE, IT MAKES ME CRY AND IT MAKES MY HEART WARM AT THE SAME TIME
I am SO ANGRY that I've never seen your channel & your reactions. I don't know why CZcams doesn't include wonderful content like yours in its search results. Thankfully, I've discovered you--subbed
I enjoyed every moment of your reaction to this film. Your comments were hilarious in addition to being insightful and understanding both Mei and her mum's side. On a side note, I can't believe how many adults didn't get this film. It's *supposed* to have cringy moments - I mean it's about a 13 year old. We've all done silly things as kids and had crushes - it's absurd how people like to pretend like going through puberty is delightfully perfect. 🤦♀️
*THOSE* people who didnt like this miss are NOT allowed anywhere near good film. Like, this movie had EVERYTHING. AND it had a good message and healthy friendships?? Def up there with Encanto and The Princess and The Frog as my favourite Disney movies. As always, i loved your reaction!!!
i adored your reaction! :D my heart soared every time you cheered for her happiness & her fighting to keep her true self. & i laughed when you sang along with the aunties at the end with such enthusiasm! :) thanks for your video!
The people who bash it, I am convinced, lack any critical thinking whatsoever. People are so narrow-minded, I swear. On another note, I am very happy with how they portrayed friendship in the movie! The group feels very realistic, I know my friend group used to be like that when we were young!
Omg yes i was wondering if you were going to react to this! I’m very much here for the Tyler slander😂 Your reactions definitely made me like this movie more ✨
you are such a fun reactor, i had so much fun watchign the movie with you LOL and this movie hits home for me. and made me more emotional than i expected. total surprise.
I thought it was pretty great. Not as amazing as Encanto but I think that’s due to the Lin Manuel Miranda music lol. The animation was cute. The Asian influences were spot on - from the parental pressure to the food to the number 4 (which means death and is therefore bad luck in Chinese culture). It’s a gorgeous film.
I loved this movie a lot!! The beginning was ok with her like narrating and all haha but it became really great when we first see her in school haha great movie!!
A lot of the people who don't like this movie seem to not be able to relate to Mei Mei because she's a non-white girl lead character. Talk about a bunch of whiny babies. I really like this movie and your reaction was great!
This movie described my life experience completely almost everything that happened to mei happened to me. Actually what is really funny is that the whole scene where mei was trying to convince her mom to let her got to her first concert was exactly how it went for me except I got permission to go and it was to see bts lol.
Your response to this film is one of the most wholesome I've seen yet. You get it, you understood what the film was saying, and guess what - you didn't have to be a teenage girl to get it! Human empathy is more than enough...we were all teenagers once. When you rule out the conservative haters of this film, there's a distinct pattern. 1) It's not "relatable" because the protagonist is a teenage girl, and 2) it's not "relatable" because the protagonist is Chinese. Somehow both of these things make the film too niche, as if the rest of us are meant to only relate to white dude protagonists. This film is beautiful, and it's a fantastic exploration of generational trauma, teenhood and coming of age, the deep friendships you make as a young person, and of course a solid commentary on existing as a minority in the Western world. Not gonna lie, I get watery-eyed every time I watch those final few scenes.
Yesssss I'm here for this reaction😭😂I love chu's reactions to animations. Also this is day 3 of asking chu to watch bly manor 🤪 amazing video as always ❤❤
I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching your stuff. Love your humor and commentary! Turning Red is a coming of age story about puberty, changes, family, friendship that everyone can relate to. Family is such a strong theme in Asian culture and it can be hard for new gen Asian kids to discover themseleves due to pressure. I think some ppl disliked it because of the "cringe" puberty stuff incuding periods cause some people think kids shouldnt see that. But in reality its normalizing talking about changes and its okay.
I'm really grossed out by the negative reviews to this film. Many of them have been blatantly racist and misogynist.
I sent a screen cap of the "Too Many Turbans and Hijabs" to someone yesterday. Couldn't even begin to respond to how ridiculous it was. It's absolutely fine to dislike this movie, it's fine to write a negative.

I loved that bit!!! No one should ever feel ashamed to love a boyband. It’s not just full of teenage girls the fans x

"4 is the worst number" meaning in Chinese superstition 4 is a very unlucky number
Similar to japanese. The word for 4 is sounds like the word for death in chinese

“Scared of your own mother? That’s crazy.”
My Taiwanese dad in everything lunar new year: “don’t tell grandma anything! Just listen until she’s done🤫”
26:10 "The Panda is so adorable and cute and powerful!"
EXACTLY!!
I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie. It was weird and really out there, and that's what I liked about it. I really enjoy when animated projects that don't shy away from family problems, teenage drama or social issues. The characters, animation and voice acting were all done very well. They did a good job of showing how scary changing and growing up can be, but it happens for a reason.
But like any other Disney movie, the problem is mostly resolved to quickly. Forgiving and moving on is important, but its not easy (like they make it seem in their movies). Ming did the exact same thing to Mei that her mother did to her - and she didn't see that? If nothing is ever going to be good enough, you shouldn't push a child to be perfect. Healing can happen...but it takes time.
(Ming shouldn't need to apologize. She may have given her mother that scar, but it was Wu's controlling and overbearing nature that caused such an act.)
People may call the portrayal of Chinese culture in this movie racist or stereotypical; but it isn't if its all fact. Most families of Asian cultures are very controlling and pass that toxic quirk to their children. Parents shouldn't push their desires onto their children, because than the children never get to live their own lives. If your kids rebel, its most likely because you're refusing to listen to them.
If there's a sequel, I seriously hope that Disney doesn't tone down the problems and issues of growing up.
This is relatable.....but I ended up making a friend feel the same way
I loved this movie, especially being set in 2002 and the boy band addition.
But when the aunties showed up…Chile 💅🏾
10/10 would watch again. I think this was really well done and your reaction are gold they make me laugh and giggle and I want more lol ❤️❤️
I watched it last night and loved it! It reminded me of my adolescence and that time when my mom and I hated each other, lol! I wanted so much to be perfect up till I was around 13, 14 and at that point my mom and I were enemies until I was around 18 when I left for college.
Adolescence is complicated and this movie so encapsulated that
Your video posted AND Zzavid posting Creep 2 made this otherwise crappy day a day that let me forget about the stressors for a bit and allowed me to escape in your fun videos again.
You had me cracking up laughing as always.
Btw I always watch your videos and Zzavid back to back because you are seriously my absolute favorites.
Thank you again for another fun filled video. You had me laughing and forgetting about the negative things and stressful things I have had to endure.
Thanks so much again as always for creating such uplifting content. It is something I seriously look forward to each week. ❤😸🙂😸❤
appreciate you so so much! 😭 🖤🖤
@@Chuuzus 🤗❤🤗 you are pure joy and kindness!
“So Tyler is 💅” LMAOO ILY
The Mother's Panda is that big because of how repressed she is. It's in direct relation to how much intense emotion she has been suppressing for so long.
I literally watched the movie an hour ago. I didn’t want to cry because it was just me and this other family in the theater 😂
damn I wish I could see this in theaters
This movie was so good, I loved it!
“POWERPUFF PANDAS” i acc love you sm 😭😭
I love this film. They should make a sequel. I think when Mei says that I'm scared it'll take me away from you, maybe another ancestor is the enemy of sun yee. He'd betray sun yee and captures red pandas and kills them offscreen. Say like sun yee defeated him but his soul is in the treasure chest and I think Mei would have found it in the temple and accidentally opened it and he's free. So I think Mei would have been his target and captured her. Ming, her grandmother, her aunties, and Mei's friends would have sacrificed their lives to save Mei. Then when her friends and family get injured or knocked out, its mei's turn for hers to turn big and invincible to defeat him and save the day.
Priya is my favorite, too - most reactors like Abby best and I get why, but Priya just exudes apathy in a way I adore.
AHHHHH i’m so happy you reacted to this!!! I can’t watch it yet cause I haven’t seen the movie 😩😩 but just know i’m coming back after I have!! lmao
love you and ready for your reaction! 🤪💃🏾💃🏾
A movie about friendship, pressure (by others and yourself), breaking generational trauma, and learning to love the things you can't control about yourself. THAT'S MY MOVIE, IT MAKES ME CRY AND IT MAKES MY HEART WARM AT THE SAME TIME
Your enthusiasm for this entire movie was so fun to watch! Subscribed!!
”Eat him! Eat him!” Well, that would’ve been some Disney movie…😂😂😂
I am SO ANGRY that I've never seen your channel & your reactions. I don't know why CZcams doesn't include wonderful content like yours in its search results. Thankfully, I've discovered you--subbed
I loved this reaction so much. When you said "Parents all need to calm down please!", I cheered aha! Yes!! I loved this movie.
I enjoyed every moment of your reaction to this film. Your comments were hilarious in addition to being insightful and understanding both Mei and her mum's side.
On a side note, I can't believe how many adults didn't get this film. It's *supposed* to have cringy moments - I mean it's about a 13 year old. We've all done silly things as kids and had crushes - it's absurd how people like to pretend like going through puberty is delightfully perfect. 🤦♀️
*THOSE* people who didnt like this miss are NOT allowed anywhere near good film. Like, this movie had EVERYTHING. AND it had a good message and healthy friendships?? Def up there with Encanto and The Princess and The Frog as my favourite Disney movies.
As always, i loved your reaction!!!
i adored your reaction! :D my heart soared every time you cheered for her happiness & her fighting to keep her true self. & i laughed when you sang along with the aunties at the end with such enthusiasm! :) thanks for your video!
31:07 They way you said “this is so adorable” lol
Love your reaction brother and glad that you enjoyed it. It shows how good a movie is when a lot of people resonate with it.
love any reaction you do whether it’s horror or cute animation movies 💜
🥺🖤
@@Chuuzus 💜💜💜
I like the fact you do different reaction videos 💕🇨🇦
The people who bash it, I am convinced, lack any critical thinking whatsoever. People are so narrow-minded, I swear.
On another note, I am very happy with how they portrayed friendship in the movie! The group feels very realistic, I know my friend group used to be like that when we were young!
Omg yes i was wondering if you were going to react to this! I’m very much here for the Tyler slander😂 Your reactions definitely made me like this movie more ✨
26:37 Tyler's redemption story 💀😂🤣
you are such a fun reactor, i had so much fun watchign the movie with you LOL
and this movie hits home for me. and made me more emotional than i expected. total surprise.
this is one of those movies that deserves a show
Great video. I love how you said she just a teenager and is learning just like the teen girls in Euphoria. ❤️❤️❤️
14:28 “something about going guys neutralizes the panda” basically having genuinely loving and supporting people
Around you makes all the difference
WAIT. I need to watch and I’ll come back y’all
Mei: Besties, Assemble!
Me: Hey, That's Marvel's Line!
I thought it was pretty great. Not as amazing as Encanto but I think that’s due to the Lin Manuel Miranda music lol. The animation was cute. The Asian influences were spot on - from the parental pressure to the food to the number 4 (which means death and is therefore bad luck in Chinese culture). It’s a gorgeous film.
I loved this movie a lot!! The beginning was ok with her like narrating and all haha but it became really great when we first see her in school haha great movie!!
A lot of the people who don't like this movie seem to not be able to relate to Mei Mei because she's a non-white girl lead character. Talk about a bunch of whiny babies. I really like this movie and your reaction was great!
29:05 Did you say "Powerpuff Pandas"? 😂
This movie described my life experience completely almost everything that happened to mei happened to me. Actually what is really funny is that the whole scene where mei was trying to convince her mom to let her got to her first concert was exactly how it went for me except I got permission to go and it was to see bts lol.
Powerpuff pandas!! 😂 Loved this movie.
Your response to this film is one of the most wholesome I've seen yet. You get it, you understood what the film was saying, and guess what - you didn't have to be a teenage girl to get it! Human empathy is more than enough...we were all teenagers once.
When you rule out the conservative haters of this film, there's a distinct pattern. 1) It's not "relatable" because the protagonist is a teenage girl, and 2) it's not "relatable" because the protagonist is Chinese. Somehow both of these things make the film too niche, as if the rest of us are meant to only relate to white dude protagonists.
This film is beautiful, and it's a fantastic exploration of generational trauma, teenhood and coming of age, the deep friendships you make as a young person, and of course a solid commentary on existing as a minority in the Western world.
Not gonna lie, I get watery-eyed every time I watch those final few scenes.
"It will surely happen again." 😂😂😂 So true!
Rihanna been reeeeeal quiet since Mei-Mei pulled up with the red bob lol
I’m CRYING
10/10 would watch again. I think this was really well done and your reaction are hold they make me laugh and giggle and I want more lol ❤️❤️
Power puff pandas 😭😭😭 you are so funny I had to follow
Love priya omg lol
Not him singing along and helping with the ritual lol
i found it funny how when you read about the 4town members on their website, you see tht jesse has a kid lol
YOU ARE MY Favorite Reactor to THIS!!!! 10s across the BOARD
the scene with the Dad is my favorite!
23:30 I think that four in Chinese also sounds like death in Chinese so it's not a good number
im crying at this reaction, not you telling Mei Mei to eat tyler, LMAO
Yesssss I'm here for this reaction😭😂I love chu's reactions to animations. Also this is day 3 of asking chu to watch bly manor 🤪 amazing video as always ❤❤
don’t worry! it’s coming 💃🏾💃🏾
I screamed when you said Taeyoung was Jimin because I 100% thought that when I first saw him 😭
"Steal, steal from your mothers" 💀💀💀
I love how into this you got!
Please react to more animated movies 😂 this video was amazing and really made my day
I loveeeee youuu. Whooo said this was baddd. I loveeee this animation! It was adorable in every wayyy
New subscriber!! Love your reaction! "STEAL! STEAL FROM YOUR MOTHERS" 😭
I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching your stuff. Love your humor and commentary!
Turning Red is a coming of age story about puberty, changes, family, friendship that everyone can relate to. Family is such a strong theme in Asian culture and it can be hard for new gen Asian kids to discover themseleves due to pressure.
I think some ppl disliked it because of the "cringe" puberty stuff incuding periods cause some people think kids shouldnt see that. But in reality its normalizing talking about changes and its okay.
Loved your reaction!! The editing made me die with laughter 🤣❤️❤️
I loved your reaction! Nice to find someone who enjoyed the movie as much as I did!
This movie looks so cute. Love your vids so much. I am still laughing about your midsummer review lol.
Best commentary ive seen for this movie!!!! You killed it!
not the i gotta put me first and welcome to act three clips. 💀😭😭
