在迪士尼和皮克斯的动画电影《Turning Red》中,自信、呆萌的 13 岁女孩Mei 必须在做一名孝顺的女儿与青春期的混乱之间取得平衡。她那个有些霸道的妈妈总是离她不远。而且,仿佛青春期所要经历的兴趣、人际关系和身体的变化还不够多,当Mei特别兴奋时,就会“噗”地一声变成一只红色的大猫熊!奥斯卡金像奖得主Shi(皮克斯动画短片《包子》(Bao) 的导演)说: “我真的很想探讨一名青春期少女的冲突,看她在做一个好女儿与接纳真实混乱的自己之间有多么纠结。”

制片人Lindsey Collins表示,“这是一个关于改变和过渡时刻的成长故事。”“它关于我们在生命中,试图弄清自己是谁的那段时间。我们的主角在家人和朋友之间左右为难,发现自己根本不是她认为的那样。而她的妈妈,看到自己的女儿突然对奇怪的音乐和男孩感兴趣,在挣扎着学着放手,好让自己的女儿实现自我。这是一个常见的主题,无论你是家长还是孩子,还是兼任两种角色。

Ming Lee是一位自豪的妻子、尽职的母亲,同时也是在多伦多唐人街李氏宗祠辛勤工作的管理员。无论何时,她都举止优雅,泰然自若,认真对待自己的工作——但更专注于照顾她的宝贝女儿Meilin。毫无疑问,Ming Lee激烈、固执、风趣、控制欲强,而且像Mei经常说的那样,她对家人的爱总是溢于言表。导演Shi表示,“Ming Lee这个角色汇集了我见过的所有强大而出色的亚洲女性的特点。”“她有时很严厉,但她做的所有疯狂的事情都是出于对女儿的爱。

In Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red,confident,dorky13-year-old Mei must balance being a dutiful daughter with the chaos of adolescence.Her slightly overbearing mom is never far from her daughter.And,as if changes to Mei’s interests,relationships and body aren’t enough,whenever she gets too excited,she“poofs”into a giant red panda!“I really wanted to explore the conflicts of a young teen girl—how she’s torn between being a good daughter and embracing her true messy self,”said Academy Award®winner Shi(Pixar short“Bao”).

“It’s a coming-of-age story about change and those transitional moments,”says producer Lindsey Collins.“It’s about that time in our lives when we’re trying to figure out who we are.We have a girl who is torn between her family and her friends,learning that she’s not at all who she thought she was.And we have the mother whose daughter is suddenly interested in strange music and boys—a mother who struggles with letting go so her child can become who she needs to be.It’s a universal theme that rings true whether you’re the parent,the child,or maybe both.

Ming Lee is a proud wife,devoted mother and hardworking keeper of the Lee Family Temple in Toronto’s Chinatown.Elegantly turned out and poised at all times,Ming takes her professional duties seriously—but she’s even more dedicated to keeping an eye on her precious daughter,Meilin.There’s no doubt,Ming is fierce,stubborn,funny,controlling,and—as Mei would put it—a lot,but the deep love she has for her family is always apparent.“Ming is a compilation of all of the very strong and awesome Asian women in my life,”says Shi.“Ming can be intense,but all of the crazy stuff she does is motivated by her love for her daughter.”
