With 'Turning Red,' a big red panda helps break a glass ceiling
《青春变形记》：巨大的红色小熊猫帮助打破无形障碍
Domee Shi arrived at Pixar as a storyboarding intern in 2011, when she was 22. She stayed on as a staff artist. In 2018, she became the first woman to direct a Pixar short.
2011 年，22 岁的石之予作为绘制分镜脚本的实习生，来到皮克斯工作。后来她留下来成为一名全职动画师。2018 年，她成为第一位执导皮克斯动画短片的女性。
That eight-minute movie, "Bao," about a dumpling that comes to life, giving an aging Chinese woman relief from empty nest syndrome, won Shi an Oscar — and put her on course to break an even bigger glass ceiling at Pixar.***

Shi's film is about a Chinese Canadian teenager, Meilin Lee, who finds herself engulfed by the onset of puberty: whipsawing emotions and her period. When she feels overwhelmed, she "poofs" into a giant red panda.

The movie is about puberty, but it's also about what girls inherit from their mothers. Ming wants to pass complete emotional control on to her daughter, noted Lindsey Collins, who produced the film. But Mei has to decide whether to disobey her mother and let her "inner beast" be seen.
这部电影的话题不仅关于青春期，也关于女儿从母亲那里获得的传承。电影的制片人林赛·柯林斯指出，明希望将完全的情感控制施加给她的女儿。但是，小美需要决定是否违抗母亲的命令并让人们看到她“内心的野兽”。

"Girls and women are always judged for not controlling their emotions — ugh, she's so emotional," Collins said. "I love that we have a main character who is learning over time that she doesn't have to push emotions away or get rid of them to be considered a good girl or a good woman. The movie is ultimately about being able to own your emotions."
柯林斯说: “人们总是评价女孩和女人不能控制自己的情绪——呃，她太情绪化了。很高兴我们的主角随时间推移能够不断学习，她不需要把情绪推开或者为了被看作是一个好女孩或好女人，摆脱自己的情绪。这部电影终究是关于如何拥有自己的情感。”
