Pixar's delightful comedy Turning Red is distinguished in no small part by its cultural specificity.It isn't just a sensitive and insightful coming-of-age story about a plucky young hero making the tricky leap from girl to woman.Well, it is that, too, of course.Meilin "Mei" Lee is a Chinese-Canadian thirteen-year-old in 2002 trying to balance her responsibilities to her Conservative, tradition-minded mother Ming (Sandra Oh) with her surging hormones and soul-deep need for independence and autonomy.
