Turning Red Movie Review:

Turning Red is such an animation film, which takes the viewer in its lap with the synergy of its narrative and visuals and gradually the viewer starts drowning in the circumstances of the film. Meilin’s character sometimes has a sense of humor, and sometimes sympathy for her condition. Every frame of the film decorated with colors makes its impact and entertainment intense. It is interesting to watch friendship, family ties, and childhood innocence.

In animation films, along with character sketches, voices play a major role in establishing the mood of the character. The voice decides and presents the personality of that character or character. Rosalie Chiang is the voice of Meilin Lee. Rosalie’s voice strikes a chord with Melin’s strong-willed and overwhelmingly spirited character. Ava Morse voices the character of Miriam. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan voices Priya, while Hyein Park voices the character of Abby.
