The Transformation of Youth"The Metamorphosis of Youth" was a 3D animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studio and distributed by the walt disney film company. It was directed by Shi Zhiyu and scriptwrited. The main voice actors included Jiang Jinan and Wu Shanzhuo. The film was released in North America on March 11, 2022, and on February 9, 2024, it was released in North American cinemas. This was Pixar's first animated feature film directed by a woman and the first to feature a Chinese girl.
The main character of the film, Li Meilin, was a 13-year-old Chinese girl from Canada who grew up in a typical Asian family. She had always played the role of a good girl in front of her mother. She had excellent grades and was sensible and obedient, but when she entered puberty, she would become a huge red panda when her emotions became unstable. Her mother and all the women in the family had the same experience. This magical power inherited from their ancestors was both a blessing and a curse. With the help of her friends and relatives, Li Meilin gradually learned to coexist peacefully with the red panda in her body.
This movie was meaningful from many perspectives. In terms of character growth, the protagonist Mei Mei faced the problem of how to accept her imperfect side during her growth. For example, she would be at a loss because she played with a child her mother did not like, she would be ashamed to see people because she became a red panda, she did not dare to accept her own changes for fear of letting her mother's expectations go down, and she would lose control of her emotions because of poor grades. But in the end, she dared to tell her mother about her preferences, accept the changes in her grades, and reconcile with her mother. This process reflected that growth was the process of reconciling with her imperfect self, and maturity was the courage to face and embrace her true self.
Judging from the metaphor contained in the movie, the word "turn red" had a double meaning. It referred to the plot of the protagonist turning into a red panda and also depicted the physical and mental changes of a girl during the special period of puberty. In addition, the setting of the female family in the movie turned into a red panda, exploring the self-awareness and growth of women in the family and cultural background.
In terms of the production of the film, there was a deliberate mix of different races and Eastern and Western elements. For example, the four beautiful partners had four skin colors and collided with each other to create cheerful sparks. The film also recreated almost all of 2002's events in the city of toronto, such as the concert venue Skydome (the real-life RogersCenter) and the streetcars in toronto's Chinatown. At the same time, it incorporated a large number of China elements, such as the panda statue in front of the ancestral hall, the jade table, herbal tea, sanitary napkins, etc., to close the distance between the Chinese audience and the film. The red panda ornaments in the film were classical and beautiful, full of China style.

The transformation from youth to maturityThe transformation from youth to maturity was a complicated and multi-dimensional process.
In terms of responsibility, young teenagers often lacked responsibility and were used to shirking when they encountered problems. For example, when they encountered setbacks in work or studies, they were easy to attribute the reasons to the external environment, such as the working atmosphere, the attitude of others, and so on. One of the signs of maturity was the awakening of a sense of responsibility. He began to take the initiative to take responsibility and actively think of solutions instead of finding excuses. When faced with project mistakes or mission failures, he could first find improvements from himself. This not only helped to solve the problem, but also won the trust of the team or group.
In terms of action, the youth may be full of hesitation, often delaying things until " tomorrow," or always feeling that " we should start when we are ready," resulting in many plans staying in the fantasy stage. The mature transformation was reflected in the awakening of the ability to take action. He realized that action did not need perfect timing. The moment was the best starting point, even if it was the smallest goal, such as taking action for five minutes first, and recording the small progress every day to build a sense of accomplishment, so as to continue to push things forward.
There would also be a huge leap in the structure. When he was young, he might be more limited. For example, when he looked at things, he only paid attention to the immediate interests or a single standard. For example, in recruitment, he only paid attention to the combat strength and working experience of the candidate. As they grew and matured, the landscape became more open and they began to pay attention to long-term value and diverse factors. For example, they paid attention to the learning ability and development potential of candidates in talent selection, saw the possibility of innovation brought by team composition, and regarded events as sowing the future rather than just meeting the current needs.
In addition, the setbacks in the process of growth were also an important catalyst for transformation. From a young man, he would experience the ups and downs of life. Every setback was a time of growth and transformation. In the face of setbacks such as failing an exam, a teenager might be sad and cry or even collapse, but maturity is reflected in the ability to learn from failure, understand that failure is the mother of success, and cheer up with the encouragement of others. At the same time, growing up also meant learning to cherish. Once they took their parents 'love for granted, they would realize that they were slowly getting old after they matured, and they would cherish the time they spent with them. In terms of emotions, teenagers may be eager to express themselves when they encounter emotional problems. After maturity, they will understand the power of silence. In silence, they will reflect deeply on themselves, re-examine their hearts, and see silence as an opportunity to grow. They will transform in adversity and become stronger and braver.
