    Pixar's latest animated gem, Turning Red, is like a fizzing explosion of adolescence that erupts when you add the Mentos of puberty to the Diet Coke of parental control.

    The film can be seen as a spiritual successor to the 2015 animated film Inside Out that told the tale of a 12-year-old girl's juddering journey through preadolescence, and the movie ends as she is on the cusp of puberty. Turning Red kind of picks up from where Inside Out left.

    Turning Red tells the story of Meilin Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl who wakes up one day to discover that she has turned into a large red panda thanks to an ancient spell that affects only the female members of her family.

    She also discovers that this transformation is triggered by intense emotions (feeling super-excited or embarrassed), and she can revert to her normal state if she suppresses her emotions (quite a difficult thing to do). Mei's transformation is also a metaphor for the onset of puberty, that triggers (guess what?) intense emotions!

    Accompanying Mei on her sanguineous transformations are her close chums: Miriam, Priya, and Abby. Miriam is cool as a mint, Priya is the nerdy romantic, and Abby is raw energy.

    Abby's a Korean-Canadian and Mei's most hyperactive ally. Her cuteness, honesty, devotion to her friends, myriads of antics (like punching Mei on her face or rebuking those littering in a corridor), and intense energy has won over every viewer. Let's see what viewers are saying about her. 

    1. Of all the friends of Mei, Abby is clearly the favorite of viewers.

    So I finally watched #TurningRed and it was such a nostalgia kick for me! It took me back to the late 90’s. Definitely some anime vibes in there :) Also I love all of Mei’s friends, but Abby is my favourite!

    10. Candy and Grenda from Gravity Falls first came to my mind when I first saw Abby.

    Abby would basically be the fusion of Candy and Grenda if they could fuse #Disney #TurningRed #GravityFalls
