In Disney and Pixar’s latest feature film “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Mei-Lin Lee “poofs” into a giant panda when she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS).

It’s the first Disney/Pixar film to be directed by a woman (a Chinese-Canadian to be precise), as well as the first to be helmed by an all-women leadership team.

So I was thrilled to get the chance to interview Director Domee Shi (who directed Pixar’s 2018 Oscar-winning short “Bao”) and Producer Lindsey Collins (who co-produced their Oscar-winning Wall-E) as part of The MSG Pod “Turning Red” review special. Watch a snippet below and the full episode HERE.
