Lets get ready for a great weekend in Connecticut!
We’re turning to a great family movie, Pixar’s “Turning Red”, streaming Friday, March 11 exclusively on Disney+.
Turning Red introduces Mei Lee, a confident, dorky teenager torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited, she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Voice Cast: Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh
